CATALINA MARKETING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. Description of the Business and Basis for Presentation

 

Description of the Business. Catalina Marketing Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), provide behavior-based communications, developed and distributed for consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) manufacturers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and marketers and retailers. The Company’s primary business was developed to provide consumers with in-store coupons delivered based upon purchase behavior and distributed primarily in supermarkets. Today, the Company offers behavior-based, targeted-marketing services and programs globally through a variety of distribution channels. These marketing solutions, including discount coupons, pharmacist and patient education newsletters, compliance mailings, in-store instant-win games and other consumer communications, are delivered directly to shoppers by various means. By specifying how a particular consumer transaction will “trigger” a promotion to print, manufacturers and retailers can deliver customized incentives and messages to only the consumers they wish to reach. The Company tracks actual purchase behavior and uses Universal Product Code-based scanner technology to target consumers at the checkout counter and National Drug Code information to trigger delivery of customized communications to consumers during pharmacy prescription checkout transactions.

 

The Company is organized and managed by segments which include the following operations: Catalina Marketing Services (“CMS”), Catalina Health Resource (“CHR”) and Catalina Marketing International (“CMI”).

 

CMS serves the needs of domestic retailers and consumer product manufacturers, primarily within the consumer packaged goods industry. Using the Catalina Marketing Network®, this operating segment specializes in behavior-based marketing communications that are delivered at the point of sale. The primary service line of CMS is the in-store delivery of incentives and communications at the checkout lane of a retailer, typically a supermarket. CMS links its proprietary software, computers, central databases and printers with a retailer’s point-of-sale controllers and scanners. The network prints customized promotions and communications at the point of sale based on product Universal Product Codes or other scanned information. The printed promotions and communications are handed to consumers by the cashier at the end of the shopping transaction.

 

CHR services allow pharmaceutical and CPG manufacturers, as well as retail pharmacies, to provide consumers with condition-specific health information and direct-to-patient communications. CHR’s primary service offerings use an in-store, prescription-based targeting technology to provide targeted, direct-to-patient communications on behalf of the Company’s clients. These communication services include messages and educational information to healthcare patients at the pharmacy level throughout the Health Resource Network. The Health Resource Network is a proprietary software system with built-in targeted response capabilities. Communications are primarily delivered to consumers based on a variety or combination of factors including transactional data, primarily the National Drug Codes found on all prescription drugs, demographic data such as age and gender information and de-identified prescription history and information. CHR clients are able to use these communications to provide information on a wide variety of products such as over-the-counter medicines, prescription medications and other healthcare remedies and merchandise.

 

CMI provides services to clients that operate in France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Japan. The Catalina Marketing Network® operates internationally in a manner similar to the domestic CMS business in offering a full range of targeted marketing solutions to many of the top CPG manufacturers and maintains relationships with major supermarket, hypermarket and other retailers.

 

In November 2003, the Company announced its intent to divest its outdoor billboard business in Japan (“Japan Billboard”), Direct Marketing Services (“DMS”) and Catalina Marketing Research Solutions (“CMRS”), which were deemed not to be strategically aligned with the Company’s current core businesses. Japan Billboard operated a billboard and outdoor media business in Japan. DMS provided targeted direct mail programs designed to market to consumers in their homes. CMRS provided a range of traditional marketing research services. These three business units were sold during fiscal year 2005. Their results of operations are shown as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. For further information regarding discontinued operations, see Note 11.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

Table of Contents

Basis of Presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2005, the results of its operations and cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its changes in stockholders’ equity for the six month period ended September 30, 2005 have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Operating results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accounts of our foreign subsidiaries are included on a three month lag (i.e., as of, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004), to facilitate the timing of the Company’s closing process.

 

Note 2. Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for option, stock grant and stock purchase plans under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company follows SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” for disclosure purposes only. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to its stock-based employee compensation. Such disclosure is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of stock options that could be granted by the Company in future fiscal years or of the value of all options currently outstanding. The pro forma compensation expense was calculated with the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Note 3. Postretirement Benefits

 

In fiscal year 2002, the Company implemented a plan to provide healthcare benefits to certain eligible retirees and active employees and their eligible dependents. The plan contains no assets, and the Company does not anticipate making contributions to the plan, other than for current benefit payments. Benefits are funded from the Company’s assets on a current basis. Plan benefits are subject to co-payments, deductibles, and other limits as defined by the plan. Benefits paid during the six months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were not material. The Company’s funding of the cost of healthcare benefits is at the discretion of management. The Company’s net periodic expense is comprised solely of interest cost and was $35,000 and $70,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, respectively and $31,000 and $62,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2004.

 

SFAS No. 132(R), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” (“SFAS No. 132(R)”) also requires additional disclosures on an annual basis. The annual disclosures required under SFAS No. 132(R) as they related to the Company’s postretirement healthcare plan were provided in Note 17 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

 

Note 4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (“SFAS No. 154”). In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB No. 20”) and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles and also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that may not include specific transition provisions.

 

SFAS No. 154 generally requires retrospective application of a change in accounting principle to prior periods’ financial statements, or, in the event that such a retrospective application is impracticable, application of the change in accounting principle to the balances of assets, liabilities and, usually, retained earnings, of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable.

 

SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 8. Goodwill and Impairment Charges

 

Goodwill increased during the six months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of the completion of the tender offer to purchase the shares of CHR not previously held by the Company. On September 15, 2004, the Company notified holders of common stock and options to purchase common stock of CHR that it was tendering an offer to purchase the shares of CHR not held by the Company. The tender offer period began on January 3, 2005 and closed on March 31, 2005. All remaining outstanding shares of CHR not held by the Company were tendered by March 31, 2005. The Company paid $3.5 million on April 8, 2005 for 279,786 shares tendered by CHR shareholders. The entire purchase price paid for these shares was assigned to goodwill in accordance with the purchase method of accounting as described in SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.”

 

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill through September 30, 2005 were as follows (in thousands):

 

     CMS

   CMI

   Consolidated

Balance as of March 31, 2005

The loss from discontinued operations reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended September 30, 2004 includes an impairment charge of $1.6 million related to DMS. This goodwill was impaired during fiscal year 2005 due to a decline in DMS’ forecasted cash flows. The Company did not expect to recover this goodwill. However, subsequent to the write-off of goodwill within discontinued operations, the Company sold the business for an amount in excess of the net book value of the remaining net assets, resulting in a gain on the sale of DMS in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005.

Note 11. Discontinued Operations

 

In November 2003, the Company announced its intent to divest Japan Billboard, DMS and CMRS, which were deemed not to be strategically aligned with the Company’s current core businesses. These businesses were sold during fiscal year 2005. As such, their results of operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

There were no operating results from discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2005.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Business Overview

 

In general, we expect our revenues to be higher during periods of increased promotional activity by manufacturers. The pattern of promotion distribution is irregular and may change from period to period depending on various factors, including the economy, competition, the timing of new product introductions and the timing of manufacturers’ promotion planning and implementation. In addition, this pattern may be affected by seasonal factors such as holiday-related promotions and annual budgeting processes affecting when our clients use promotional and consumer-related expenditure budgets. The seasonality of CMI’s operations may be different than that of our domestic operations for many reasons, but the impact of seasonality on our reporting may also be affected by the difference in fiscal years. These factors, as well as the overall growth in the number of retailer and manufacturer contracts with the Company, the timing of changes in the installed store base and access to revenue producing transactions, may impact our revenues and profits in any particular period.

 

We are currently focused on several long-term growth initiatives. We have continued to make investments in future growth during the current fiscal year through the addition of personnel focused on new business development and additions to our sales force, primarily at CMS and France. We also plan to invest significantly in the next generation of printers, which will provide the Company the ability to provide full color, full graphic coupons at the point-of-sale for its retail grocery channel. Additionally, we are pursuing opportunities to expand into other distribution channels. While capital expenditures have increased in the current fiscal year as a result of these initiatives, there has been no impact to revenues since the color printers are still in development and installations in the new channels have only begun. The Company expects the initial results of its channel expansion efforts to begin to appear in CMS’ results in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company’s revenues increased slightly over the same period in the prior fiscal year to $102.8 million. Both CHR and CMI had revenue growth over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, but their results were substantially offset by a $5.5 million decline in CMS revenues, primarily resulting from lower volume of promotions printed.

 

Direct operating costs increased by approximately $0.6 million to $32.2 million. As a percentage of revenues, direct operating expenses increased to 31.5% from 31.0% in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in retailer fees at both CMS and CHR.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses increased to 28.8% from 27.9% in the same quarter last year. This was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in sales force expense at CMS and France, an increase of $0.7 million in information technology development costs, and an increase of $0.4 million in marketing expenses at CHR. Partially offsetting these increases, legal expenses declined by approximately $1.0 million.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, primarily due to a decline in capital spending over the previous two fiscal years.

 

Income from operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $32.1 million increased 2.8% compared with the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. The increase was primarily driven by favorable operating results at CHR, which increased by $3.7 million. This increase, coupled with the improved performance of CMI, offset the decline in CMS operating income.

 

The consolidated effective tax rate was 38.0% and 39.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The rate decrease was primarily due to the utilization of foreign net operating losses in the current fiscal year that were not previously recognized.

 

Catalina Marketing Services

 

CMS generates revenues primarily by providing in-store, electronic marketing delivery services via the Catalina Marketing Network®. The amount of revenue recognized is generally based on the total incentives or communications delivered multiplied by a per-print fee. The delivery of incentives or communications is based upon particular triggering transactions that occur at the point of sale (i.e., the checkout counter of a retail store). The success of CMS depends upon, among other factors, the store installation base and the number of transactions accessed by the Catalina Marketing Network®, the number of promotions printed, and the ability to attract and retain CPG manufacturers to use the targeted communication capabilities offered by the network.

The following table presents the number of stores in which the network was installed, the average number of shoppers reached each week, and the number of manufacturer promotions printed as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

Average weekly shoppers reached (in millions)

   220.1    217.0

Number of manufacturer promotions printed (in millions)

   636.7    757.0

 

The decline in the number of stores in which the Catalina Marketing Network® is installed was driven primarily by the de-installation of the network in certain low-promotion-volume retail stores, as well as a retailer that entered bankruptcy that resulted in the de-installation of stores closed by the retailer. The decline in the installed store base is not expected to have a significant effect on revenues.

 

Revenues at CMS declined by $5.5 million, or 8.3%, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. Revenue from manufacturer clients was the primary driver, decreasing by $5.7 million, or 9.1%. The decrease was attributable primarily to a 15.9% decrease in the volume of promotions printed. The decline in volume was principally due to reduced consumer spending in key brands and the discontinuance of specific product lines by certain CPG manufacturer clients. The reduction in volume was partially offset by a 6.8% increase in the average price per promotion printed, a function of a favorable shift in mix to higher-priced services.

 

Income from operations declined by $4.8 million, or 15.2%, due to the decline in revenues and increases in both direct operating expenses and SG&A expenses, partially offset by a decline in depreciation and amortization expense of $1.9 million. The current fiscal year increase in direct operating expenses was primarily due to increased retailer fee expense of $0.3 million, a result of changes in certain retailer contracts. These contracts were renegotiated in fiscal year 2005 and resulted in increased retailer fees on a per print basis. Accordingly, the Company expects retailer fees in fiscal year 2006 to exceed the fiscal year 2005 fees.

 

SG&A expenses increased, primarily due to an increase in sales force expense and executive administrative expense of $0.5 million each. The increase in sales force expense was primarily attributable to the addition of sales personnel and increased sales department expenses related to a focus on retail channel expansion. The increase in executive administrative expense was primarily due to the addition of new personnel in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense declined by $1.9 million primarily due to the reduction in capital spending over the previous two fiscal years which is now translating into lower depreciation expense as compared with the prior fiscal year. Although the Company has entered into a period of increased capital expenditures related to CMS’ installation of the Catalina Marketing Network® in Walgreens and the Company’s investment in color printers, we expect that depreciation expense will continue to be lower in fiscal year 2006 than the prior fiscal year due to the timing of installations.

 

Net income for CMS decreased by $2.9 million, or 15.1%, due to the factors affecting income from operations.

 

Catalina Health Resource

 

CHR’s primary service offerings use in-store, prescription-based technology to provide targeted, direct-to-patient communications on behalf of its clients. These communication services include messages and educational information to healthcare patients at retail pharmacies participating in the Health Resource Network. CHR primarily generates revenues by printing messages for pharmaceutical and CPG manufacturers.

 

Management analyzes the performance of CHR through a review of the pharmacy installation base and the average weekly prescription medication users reached. These metrics provide a framework for evaluating current performance, as well as acting as a measure of the reach of the network, which is important in attracting additional pharmaceutical and CPG manufacturers to utilize the services of the CHR.

Revenues for CHR increased by $3.7 million, or 19.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was attributable to a 47.9% increase in the number of revenue-producing newsletters, which was primarily attributable to a single program that triggered a high volume of revenue-producing newsletters during the current fiscal year quarter. This program, which generated lower revenue per newsletter, contributed to an overall shift in program mix and a corresponding decline in the average price per revenue-producing newsletter of 18.6%.

 

Income from operations grew by $3.7 million, or 78.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared with the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This increase was attributable to the increase in revenues, as well as decreased depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by increased marketing expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense declined by $0.4 million due to a decline in capital expenditures over the last two fiscal years for equipment installed in pharmacies. Partially offsetting these improvements to income from operations, marketing expense increased by $0.4 million due to increased focus on growing the CHR business and the PATIENTLinkTM brand.

 

Net income for CHR increased by $2.2 million, or 78.8%, due to the factors affecting income from operations.

 

Catalina Marketing International

 

The Company operates internationally, for clients that operate in France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Japan, in a similar manner to the domestic CMS business.

 

The following table presents CMI’s retail installation base, the number of retail chains across which the Catalina Marketing Network® was installed internationally and the average weekly shoppers reached as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

   78.6    63.9

 

The increase in the number of stores in which the Catalina Marketing Network® was installed was primarily driven by the installation of the network in two significant retailers during the current quarter. The full effect of these installations is not expected to be realized until fiscal year 2007.

 

Revenues for CMI increased by $2.4 million, or 14.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2004. Of this increase, $0.6 million was attributable to the favorable effect of foreign currency exchange movements. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to growth of both manufacturer and retailer revenue. Manufacturer revenue increased primarily due to growth in Italy and Japan. These increases were due to the continued sales penetration of CPG manufacturers, as is evidenced by the signing of the largest ever manufacturer contract in Japan during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Retailer revenue was up primarily due to France, which increased primarily due to the installations of the two retailers referenced above during the current quarter.

 

Income from operations increased $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues was partially offset by volume-related increases in direct operating expenses of $0.2 million and increases in SG&A expenses of $0.8 million, primarily due to the addition of sales force and marketing personnel employed to develop existing and new business development opportunities.

Table of Contents

Net income for CMI increased $0.3 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the factors affecting income from operations, partially offset by increased intercompany interest expense and foreign exchange transaction losses.

 

Corporate

 

Expenses for our corporate group include costs for procurement, retail store support, information technology, corporate accounting, client services, analytical services, marketing, human resources and executive management. These costs are included in direct operating expenses, SG&A expense and depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income included in Item 1 — “Financial Statements” for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. For purposes of segment reporting, these corporate costs are allocated to the CMS and CHR business segments using methods considered reasonable by management and which provide management with a measure of utilization of corporate services by the respective business segments. Costs that can be directly attributed to the business segments are allocated to that business segment. Costs that are indirectly attributed to the business segments are allocated proportionately based on the business segment’s revenues, number of printed incentives, square feet of space used, headcount or other relevant statistics, depending on the type of cost. For example, the cost to maintain the Company’s corporate headquarters is allocated to the domestic business segments based on the estimated square footage each business unit occupies; paper and store maintenance costs are allocated to the domestic business segments based upon the number of printed incentives; and data communications costs are allocated based upon revenues. Of the total corporate group operating expenses, 68.8%, and 68.9% were allocated to the operating segments during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The Corporate loss from operations and net loss decreased $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. Cost controls had a positive effect on direct operating expenses, keeping these costs consistent with the prior fiscal year. SG&A expenses decreased by $0.7 million, which was primarily the result of a decline in legal fees. Additionally, interest income increased by $0.4 million in the current fiscal year due primarily to an increase in the market value of assets held for the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Its Effect on Revenues

 

Consolidated revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $102.8 million, which included $19.3 million in revenues from foreign operations. The local currencies of the countries in which we maintain foreign operations are the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen. These currencies were stronger against the United States dollar during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 than in the same period in the prior fiscal year, resulting in a benefit to our consolidated revenues. While revenue growth in local currency was 10.6% versus the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal year, revenues of our foreign operations grew by 14.0% when taking into account the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s revenues decreased $3.2 million compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was attributable to an $11.2 million decline in CMS revenues, partially offset by revenue growth in CHR and CMI. The decline in CMS was primarily due to a decline in the volume of manufacturer promotions printed and a decline in revenues from retailers.

 

Direct operating costs decreased approximately $2.8 million to $63.0 million. As a percentage of revenues, direct operating expenses decreased to 32.4% from 33.3% in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was due predominantly to a decrease in third party costs at CMS of $2.0 million.

 

SG&A expenses increased $2.1 million in the six months ended September 30, 2005 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses increased to 30.5% from 29.0% in fiscal year 2005. This increase was primarily driven by increases of $1.3 million in sales force expense in Europe and $1.0 million in new business development expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.9 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2006 compared with the same period of fiscal year 2005, primarily due to a decline in capital spending over the previous two fiscal years.

 

Income from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2005 increased $1.5 million when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by favorable operating results at CHR, which increased by $6.6 million. This increase, coupled with the improved performance of CMI, offset the decline in CMS operating income.

 

The consolidated effective tax rate was 38.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2005 and was relatively unchanged from the prior fiscal year rate of 38.3%.

Revenues at CMS declined by $11.2 million, or 8.6%, for the six months ended September 30, 2005 as compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. Revenue from manufacturer clients was the primary driver, decreasing by $7.4 million, or 6.2%. The decrease was attributable primarily to a 10.8% decrease in the volume of promotions printed. The decline in volume was principally due to reduced consumer spending in key brands and the discontinuance of specific product lines by certain CPG manufacturer clients. The reduction in volume was partially offset by a 4.7% increase in the average price per promotion printed, a function of a favorable shift in mix to higher-priced services. The reduction in retailer revenue was primarily due to transitional sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 related to the loyalty card business, which was sold on March 31, 2004, and a large, one-time program in the prior fiscal year that was not replaced during the current fiscal year.

 

Income from operations declined by $7.2 million, or 12.1%, due to the decline in revenues, which was partially offset by decreases in direct operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The current fiscal year decrease in direct operating expenses is primarily due to a decrease of $2.0 million in costs associated with the loyalty card business in the prior fiscal year partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in retailer fees, a result of prior period changes in certain retailer contracts. These contracts were renegotiated in fiscal year 2005 and have resulted in increased retailer fees on a per print basis. Accordingly, the Company expects retailer fees in fiscal year 2006 to exceed the fiscal year 2005 fees. Depreciation and amortization expense declined primarily due to the reduction in capital spending over the previous two years which resulted in lower depreciation and amortization expense as compared with the prior fiscal year.

 

Net income for CMS decreased by $4.2 million, or 12.0%, due to the factors affecting income from operations.

The decrease in direct operating expenses was primarily due to retailer fees, which decreased by $0.8 million due to retailer contracts that were renegotiated in prior periods. The decline in depreciation and amortization expense was due to lower capital expenditures over the last two fiscal years for equipment installed in pharmacies.

Revenues for CMI increased by $3.8 million, or 12.0%, for the six months ended September 30, 2005, compared with the six months ended September 30, 2004. Of this increase, $1.3 million was attributable to the favorable effect of foreign currency exchange movements. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to increased manufacturer and retailer revenue. Manufacturer revenue increased principally due to growth in Italy and Japan. These increases were due to the continued sales penetration of CPG manufacturers, as is evidenced by the signing of the largest ever manufacturer contract in Japan during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Retailer revenue was up primarily due to operations in the United Kingdom and Italy. The increase in retailer revenue in both countries was due to an increase in the average number of stores in which the Catalina Marketing Network® was installed.

 

Income from operations increased $1.3 million during the six months ended September 30, 2005, as compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues was partially offset by volume-related increases in direct operating expenses of $0.4 million and increases in SG&A expenses of $1.9 million, primarily due to the addition of sales force personnel.

 

Net income for CMI increased $0.2 million to $3.1 million. The increase was principally due to the factors affecting income from operations, partially offset by increased intercompany interest expense and foreign exchange transaction losses.

 

Corporate

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2005 the Corporate loss from operations and net loss decreased $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from the same period in the prior fiscal year. Cost controls had positive effects on direct operating expenses resulting in a reduction of $0.1 million. SG&A expenses decreased in the current fiscal year, primarily the result of a decline in legal fees partially offset by an increase in new business development expense associated with the addition of personnel.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Its Effect on Revenues

 

Consolidated revenues from continuing operations for the first half of fiscal year 2006 were $194.6 million, which included $34.9 million in revenues from foreign operations. The local currencies of the countries in which we maintain foreign operations are the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen. These currencies were stronger against the United States dollar during the first half of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, resulting in a benefit to our consolidated revenues. While revenue growth in local currency was 7.7% versus the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, revenues of our foreign operations grew by 12.0% when taking into account the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows generated from operations and a credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks that provides for borrowings in both U.S. dollars and Japanese yen. See “Other Sources of Liquidity” for further details. Our normal liquidity requirements continue to be for working capital, capital expenditures and the repayment of debt obligations. Additional requirements may include dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. We expect to continue to invest in our Catalina Marketing Network® and other support technology, new business development, sales and marketing, employee development and retention, and enhanced systems of reporting and controls.

 

Our existing cash and cash equivalents, combined with cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit facilities, should be sufficient to fund our operating activities as well as other opportunities

Table of Contents

for the short term and over our forecasted long-range plan of three years. If during that period or thereafter we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations, raising additional capital when required or being able to borrow in sufficient amounts, our business could suffer.

 

Cash Flow Analysis

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005, compared with $42.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004. Cash flow provided by operating activities was lower in the first half of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the first half of fiscal year 2005 primarily due to the timing of our tax payments as well as lower net income in fiscal year 2006, after adjustments for non-cash items.

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $26.0 million to $28.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005 compared with $2.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was attributable to an increase in capital expenditures of $18.4 million, as well as the purchase of the remaining common stock of CHR in fiscal year 2006 for $3.5 million. In the prior fiscal year period, the Company received proceeds of $5.0 million from the sale of DMS, which further contributed to the current fiscal year change.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $95.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005 compared with $15.6 million used in financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2004. The repurchase of common stock of $70.1 million and the repayment of the revolving credit facility of $30.0 million were the primary uses of cash in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2005. During the six months ended September 30, 2004, the Company paid dividends of $15.6 million. In the current fiscal year, the Company declared dividends totaling approximately $14.5 million which were paid on October 3, 2005.

 

Overall, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $93.5 million to $22.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Other Sources of Liquidity

 

In addition to our cash flows generated from operations, the Company’s access to its revolving credit facility provides an additional source of liquidity. For a discussion of our credit facility, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The Company had borrowings of $34.6 million as of September 30, 2005 under its revolving credit facility, including $31.6 borrowed by its Japanese subsidiary with an interest rate of 0.70% and $3.0 million borrowed in the United States with an interest rate of 6.75%.

 

Capital Requirements

 

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, included the following table, which presents the summary of our contractual cash obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2005. Refer to the Form 10-K for a description of each obligation:

Capital Expenditures. Our primary capital expenditures are for store equipment and third-party store installation and upgrade costs, as well as data processing equipment for our central data processing facilities. Total store equipment and third-party store installation costs for the Catalina Marketing Network® range from $3,000 to $13,000 per store. Capital expenditures were higher for the six months ended September 30, 2005 as compared with the six months ended September 30, 2004 primarily due to increased purchases of store equipment for replacements and new store installations.

 

The Company currently expects to spend approximately $50 million for capital expenditures in fiscal year 2006. The amount of such capital expenditures could vary significantly depending upon the timing of execution of certain Company initiatives. The increase in capital expenditures expected for fiscal year 2006 is primarily due to increased purchases for store equipment, including approximately $26 million attributable to the expected installation of the Catalina Marketing Network® in Walgreens.

 

In addition, the Company expects to increase spending for store equipment and software development related to our initiative to enhance our network’s interface with consumers, which is expected to include enhanced print quality with full graphic and color capabilities. We are currently working on a project to deploy color printers to replace certain existing printers and expect the implementation of this project to begin in fiscal year 2007 and extend into future periods. The total expected capital requirement for this initiative is anticipated to be in excess of $88 million, and is the reason for the increase in our commitment to purchase store equipment noted in the updated contractual obligations table. The Company expects that our cash flow from operations combined with borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility will be sufficient to finance these capital investments. The color printer project is in the early stages of development and there can be no certainty that the timing of the capital requirements will proceed as expected.

 

Contingent Earnout Payment. As part of the Restructuring and Amendment Agreement executed in 1999 between the Company and the joint venture partners in the Company’s Japanese coupon operations (the “Restructuring Agreement”), the Company has a contingent obligation to pay these joint venture partners a final deferred earnout payment based on the future operating results of the Catalina Marketing Japan coupon business. The Restructuring Agreement stipulates a potential earnout payment based on a predetermined formula calculated using financial results during a consecutive four quarter period ending between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007. The determination of the applicable four quarter period is contingent upon the Company’s Japan Coupon business achieving financial results on certain financial measurements as specified in the Restructuring Agreement. Based on the Company’s current estimates, we do not expect the earnout payment to be material to the Company, however, due to the fact that the earnout payment is measured based on the actual future financial results of the Company’s Japan coupon business, a change in the results of operations or financial condition of the Company’s Japan coupon business could cause the earnout payment to vary significantly.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Please refer to the discussion of the Company’s Critical Accounting Estimates as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Since the date of that Form10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.

Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain information included in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by the use of words, such as “anticipate,” “estimates,” “should,” “expect,” “goal,” “designed to,” “guidance,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning, in connection with any discussion of the Company’s future business, results of operations, liquidity and operating or financial performance. Such forward-looking statements involve significant material known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risk factors should be considered in connection with any written or oral forward-looking statement that we or any person acting on our behalf may issue in this document or otherwise, now or in the future. Further, certain information contained in this document is a reflection of our intention as of the date of this filing and is based upon, among other things, the existing regulatory environment, industry conditions, market conditions and prices, the economy in general and our assumptions as of such date. We may change our intentions based upon any changes in such factors, in our assumptions or otherwise.

 

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We cannot assure you that any future results, performance or achievements will be achieved. For a discussion of certain of these risks, uncertainties and other factors, see “Risk Factors” and Part I—”Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Our principal market risks are interest rates on our revolving credit facility and foreign exchange rates in the Company’s international operations.

 

Interest Rates

 

We centrally manage our bank debt and consider investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies. Interest on bank debt is payable at interest rates based on the Prime Rate, the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate. We estimate that a 10% change in interest rates would not have had a material effect on our results of operations or financial position for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004.

 

Foreign Operations

 

Our operations outside of the United States expose us to movements in currency exchange rates, which can be volatile at times. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on us is complex because such changes are often linked to variances in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause us to change our financing and operating strategies.

 

The aggregate foreign currency exchange transaction effects included in determining consolidated results of operations include a loss of $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005, compared with a $0.1 million gain for the six months ended September 30, 2004. We have not utilized derivative financial instruments to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies. We estimate that, based upon our net income in local currency for the six months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not have resulted in a material impact to net income in either six month period. We believe that this quantitative measure has inherent limitations because it does not take into account the impact of macroeconomic factors or changes in either results of operations or our financing and operating strategies.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the fiscal quarter to which this report relates, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

8. WARRANTY, ETC.

 

  8.1. Limited Warranty. Epson warrants to Buyer that each System will, for the warranty period, be free from defects in design, material and workmanship and conform to the Specifications. The warranty period is [**************************************************************************] (the “Warranty Period”). This warranty covers only normal use, conditions and service. It does not cover any System in which cartridges other than new (non-refilled) Cartridges supplied by Epson have been used. It does not cover any System from which the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number has been removed, or any System that fails as a result of misuse or abuse, improper installation, improper maintenance, neglect, any improper shipping by Buyer, or damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, third-party software, parts, components or peripheral devices added to the System without Epson’s authorization, paper that has not been qualified in advance by Epson, or service other than by Epson or a servicer authorized by Epson. Epson makes no warranties in this Agreement except as stated in this section 8.1. Epson disclaims all other representations and warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

 

  8.2. Exclusive Warranty Remedy. Epson will repair or replace (Epson to select the option) within [****************************************] at Epson’s designated repair location or give a credit (subject to mutual agreement of Epson and Buyer) for any System or component in breach of the warranty in the previous section. [*********************************************************]. Buyer shall bear all freight charges for Systems returned to Epson; Epson shall bear all freight costs for Systems returned or replaced. When warranty service involves the exchange of the System or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson’s property. The exchanged System or part may be new or previously repaired and refurbished to like-new condition. Exchange or replacement Systems or parts are warranted for the remaining warranty period of the replaced System or 90 days, whichever is longer. Epson reserves the right to inspect returned Systems under warranty claim at Buyer’s facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, for a DOA unit, Epson shall provide a new (not refurbished) replacement unit. In this Agreement, a “DOA” unit means one that fails to operate the first time an attempt is made to operate it. Buyer’s exclusive warranty remedy for any System in breach of warranty is limited to repair, replacement or credit as set forth in this section 8.2.

 

  8.3. Extended Service. Buyer may purchase extended service for Systems at the prices and length of extended service coverage periods and other terms quoted by Epson in Attachment A or, to the extent not stated in Attachment A, as quoted by Epson from time to time. The terms and limitations of extended service are identical to those stated in sections 8.1 and 8.2, except for the length of the coverage period.

 

  8.4. Extraordinary Failures.

 

  a) [*************************************************************************** ************************].

 

  b) [************************************************************************** ************************].

 

  8.5. Services Terms Outside the United States. Sections 8.1 through 8.4 above govern warranty matters for Systems used in the United States. Systems used outside the United States shall be governed by the same terms as described above, with the following exceptions:

 

  a) Service shall be performed by service depots designated by Epson from time to time in writing. The list of depots at the Effective Date is set forth in Attachment D.

 

  b) There may not always be a depot in the country where the System is being used. If a returned System must cross borders for service, Buyer shall bear all import duties and similar charges for shipment to the depot, and Epson shall bear all such charges for Systems returned or replaced.

 

[*] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.


9. TECHNICAL SUPPORT, ETC.

 

  9.1. U.S. Support. Epson will designate a support representative during the initial U.S. rollout to coordinate with Buyer and its installation teams as well as the logistics centers. Reporting will be done on a weekly basis and exception reporting immediately. It will also be the responsibility of the representative to provide System documentation for the installation, operation and maintenance of the Systems, develop a process for the training of the appropriate Buyer personnel for support and installation, and to coordinate participation as needed by technical representatives from Epson’s parent company concerning Systems, diagnosis and trouble-shooting.

 

  9.2. Support Outside the U.S. Needed support outside the United States shall be discussed and arrranged on a case by case basis.

 

10. PRODUCT CHANGES, ETC.

 

  10.1. Product Changes. Epson may make changes in the System or its components that (a) do not substantially affect its form, fit or function, or (b) are required to address safety concerns or to comply with law. Epson will provide Buyer with as much notice of changes as possible.
