Second Quarter 2009 Results vs Second Quarter 2008
* HSNi's Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $43.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA margins improved to 6.8% from 5.6%. Although HSNi's net sales declined 8%, Adjusted EBITDA improved as a result of an increase in gross profit margin of 50 basis points and a reduction in operating expenses, excluding non-cash charges, of 10%, or $21.5 million. * HSNi's Adjusted Net Income in the second quarter of 2009 was $15.4 million, decreasing $3.0 million from the prior year. Adjusted Net Income for 2009 included interest expense, net of taxes, of $5.5 million related to indebtedness incurred in connection with the spin-off from IAC/InterActiveCorp in the third quarter of 2008. * HSNi reported operating income of $30.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to an operating loss of ($277.6) million in the prior year. Net income was $13.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the current quarter compared to a net loss of ($249.8) million, or ($4.44) per diluted share, in the prior year. The prior year results include $300 million ($263.4 million net of taxes, or ($4.69) per share) of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges related to HSNi's Cornerstone segment. * HSNi ended the quarter with $205.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash from operating activities during the first half of 2009 was $74.0 million compared to $6.2 million in the same period last year. Cash flow improved by effectively managing working capital.
"Our performance in the second quarter clearly demonstrates HSNi's unique ability to leverage our differentiated brand and business model to maximize operating results," stated Mindy Grossman, Chief Executive Officer of HSNi. "We believe that our strategy of creating a great customer experience while exerting strict financial discipline and effective working capital management will allow us to gain share and deliver long term value to our shareholders."

HSN Segment Results
HSN's net sales decreased 1% to $454.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $460.9 million in the prior year. This slight sales decline of 1% followed a strong comparable sales growth of 11% in the prior year. Shipped units increased by 2%, return rates improved by 20 basis points and the average price point decreased by 4% from the same quarter in the prior year. These results were due to product mix, sales of key items at lower price points and select promotional pricing. Strong sales increases in crafts and fitness were offset by sales declines in fashion. Jewelry sales stabilized this quarter with a shift to product lines with lower price points such as silver and fashion jewelry.
Gross profit margin improved 120 basis points to 33.6% in the second quarter compared to 32.4% in the prior year. This increase was a result of lower shipping costs and a decrease in returns, partially offset by a slight decrease in product margins. Focused efforts on aligning inventory purchases with sales demand resulted in a decrease in inventory by $38.0 million, or 15%, compared to the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $38.4 million in the second quarter compared to the prior year driven primarily by the increase in gross profit and a reduction in operating expenses. Operating income increased 28% to $28.7 million, or $6.3 million, compared to the prior year.
Cornerstone Segment Results
Net sales for Cornerstone decreased 21% to $185.9 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $234.9 million in the prior year due to lower consumer demand overall for luxury home furnishings, outdoor products and apparel.
Gross profit margin improved 30 basis points to 42.6% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 42.3% in the prior year, primarily as a result of lower shipping costs. This gain was partially offset by selective promotional and clearance pricing to reduce inventory levels, resulting in a 25% decrease in inventories compared to the second quarter of 2008.
Operating expenses, excluding non-cash charges, during the second quarter of 2009 decreased 21%, or $19.9 million, as compared to 2008, driven by lower circulation costs and reduced headcount. Despite the decline in net sales and gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA decreased only $0.4 million, or 7%, to $4.9 million due to these expense management efforts.
Operating income in the current quarter was $2.0 million compared to an operating loss of ($300.0) million in the second quarter of 2008. Included in the prior year results were $300 million in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and $1.6 million of amortization of intangibles.
Effective Tax Rate
HSNi's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 38.0% for the second quarter of 2009 and 10.2% for the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the impact from the asset impairment charges and related tax effects in the prior year, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2008 would have been 37.4%. The annual effective tax rate for 2009 is expected to be 39%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2009, HSNi had cash and cash equivalents of $205.9 million, up from $186.9 million at March 31, 2009 and up from $177.5 million at December 31, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, HSNi generated net cash provided by operating activities of $74.0 million compared to $6.2 million in the same period last year. Total debt was approximately $381.1 million as of June 30, 2009, resulting in a ratio of total debt to EBITDA, as defined in HSNi's credit agreement, of approximately 2.36x and net debt of $175.2 million.

HSN, INC.'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
HSNi reports Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, all of which are supplemental measures to GAAP. These measures are among the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. HSNi endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures contained in this release and which we discuss below.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization of intangibles, (3) depreciation and gains and losses on asset dispositions, (4) goodwill, long-lived asset and intangible asset impairments, (5) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (6) one-time items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measurement of operating efficiency and overall financial performance and HSNi believes it to be a helpful measure for those evaluating companies in the retail industry. Adjusted EBITDA measures the amount of income generated each period that could be used to service debt, pay taxes and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to HSNi's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation, amortization of non-cash marketing, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, gains and losses on asset dispositions, asset impairment charges, acquisition-related accounting and one-time items.
Adjusted Net Income generally captures all items on the statement of operations that have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash and is defined as net income available to common shareholders excluding, net of tax effects, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization of intangible assets, (3) gains and losses on asset dispositions, (4) goodwill, long-lived asset and intangible asset impairments, (5) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, (6) one-time items, and (7) discontinued operations. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents HSNi's consolidated results taking into account charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense and taxes, but excluding the effects of identified non-cash expenses or one-time items.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors because it represents, on a per share basis, HSNi's consolidated results, taking into account charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense and taxes, but excluding the effects of identified non-cash expenses or one-time items. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have the same limitations as Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statement of operations.
Pro Forma Results
We will only present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this release, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.
One-Time Items
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are presented before one-time items, if applicable. In accordance with SEC rules, these items are truly one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years. GAAP results include one-time items. For the periods presented in this release, there are no adjustments for any one-time items.
Basis of Presentation
On November 5, 2007, IAC announced its plan to separate into five independent public companies in order to better achieve certain strategic objectives of the various businesses. This transaction is referred to as the "spin-off."
On August 21, 2008, HSN, Inc. became an independent public company and began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "HSNI." These unaudited consolidated financial statements present our results of operations, financial position, shareholders' equity and cash flows of HSN, Inc. on a combined basis up through the spin-off and on a consolidated basis thereafter.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we computed basic earnings per share using the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the spin-off, as if such shares were outstanding for the entire period. The diluted earnings per share for prior periods was computed based upon the dilutive impact of all stock-based awards outstanding immediately following the spin-off, as if such awards were outstanding for the entire period.
