Staples, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPLS) ha hecho públicos hoy sus resultados del segundo trimestre, cerrado el 30 de julio de 2011. En comparación con el segundo trimestre de 2010, las ventas totales de la empresa en el segundo trimestre de este año han aumentado un 5,2 por ciento, para situarse en los 5.800 millones de dólares. Los ingresos netos del segundo trimestre de 2011 aumentaron en un 36 por ciento interanual hasta 176 millones de dólares, y las ganancias diluidas por acción, según los PCGA (Principios de contabilidad generalmente aceptados), se incrementaron un 39 por ciento hasta 0,25 dólares, desde los 0,18 dólares del segundo trimestre del año anterior.
Las ganancias diluidas ajustadas por acción de 0,22 dólares del segundo trimestre de 2011 presentan un incremento del 10 por ciento en comparación con las ganancias diluidas ajustadas por acción de 0,20 dólares registradas en el segundo trimestre de 2010. Estos resultados ajustados no incluyen la devolución en efectivo de 21 millones de dólares de impuestos durante el segundo trimestre de 2011, ni los gastos de reestructuración e integración antes de impuestos, que fueron de 22 millones de dólares durante el segundo trimestre de 2010.
"Los resultados del segundo trimestre demuestran que los grandes esfuerzos de nuestro equipo continúan dando sus frutos", afirmó Ron Sargent, Chairman y Chief Executive Officer de Staples. "Nuestro negocio principal es sólido, nuestras iniciativas de crecimiento están ganando dinamismo, y hemos proporcionado unos beneficios y flujos de efectivo mejores de los previstos".
La tasa de ingresos operativos del segundo trimestre de 2011, según los PCGA, ha disminuido 7 puntos básicos hasta un 4,78 por ciento, en comparación con el segundo trimestre de 2010. Excluyendo los efectos de los gastos de reestructuración e integración del mismo periodo del año anterior, la tasa de ingresos operativos del segundo trimestre de 2011 ha disminuido 46 puntos básicos hasta llegar al 4,78 por ciento. Esta disminución se debe principalmente a las inversiones en mano de obra y marketing realizadas en Norteamérica para respaldar iniciativas de crecimiento, que se vieron en parte compensadas por la mejora de los márgenes de los productos en Norteamérica y la reducción de los gastos generales en el negocio de productos de oficina en Europa.
La tasa real de impuestos de la empresa en el segundo trimestre de 2011 ha sido del 25,7 por ciento, frente al 37,5 por ciento del segundo trimestre de 2010. Esta disminución de la tasa real de impuestos se debe al cobro de créditos fiscales en el negocio International durante el segundo trimestre de 2011, así como al restablecimiento, durante el cuarto trimestre de 2010, de las disposiciones tributarias que permiten diferir el impuesto de sociedades sobre determinados ingresos del exterior. Los créditos fiscales cobrados en el segundo trimestre de 2011 estaban relacionados con el negocio de Corporate Express en Europa.
Este año hasta la fecha, la empresa ha generado un flujo de efectivo operativo de 302 millones de dólares e invertido 164 millones de dólares en gastos de capital, lo que ha dado lugar a un flujo de fondos disponibles de 138 millones para el primer semestre de 2011. Al término del segundo trimestre, la empresa presentaba una liquidez de 1.800 millones de dólares, incluidos 823 millones en dinero y cuasidinero.
La empresa recuperó 12 millones de sus acciones por 199 millones de dólares durante el segundo trimestre, y en lo que va de año ha recuperado 19 millones de acciones por 346 millones de dólares.
North American Delivery
En el segundo trimestre de 2011 North American Delivery registró unas ventas de 2.400 millones de dólares, lo que representa un aumento del 3,1 por ciento en comparación con el mismo periodo del año anterior. El crecimiento de dos dígitos de las ventas de suministros para instalaciones y salas de descanso, la alta tasa de adquisición de nuevos clientes, así como los efectos positivos de los tipos de cambio, impulsaron los ingresos totales por ventas. Con un 8,42 por ciento, la tasa de ingresos operativos se redujo 33 puntos básicos en comparación con el segundo trimestre del 2010. Esta reducción se debe principalmente al aumento de la mano de obra para respaldar iniciativas de crecimiento, al incremento de los costes de combustible y a las inversiones en el desarrollo de sitios web y en otros sistemas de información, compensados en parte por la reducción de los gastos de marketing y las mejoras de la cadena de suministro.
North American Retail
Las ventas de North American Retail en el segundo trimestre de 2011 ascendieron a 2.000 millones de dólares, lo que representa un incremento del 1,7 por ciento en dólares estadounidenses y del 0,1 por ciento en moneda local en comparación con el segundo trimestre de 2010. La cifra de ventas comparables en tiendas del segundo trimestre de 2011 se mantuvo al mismo nivel que la del segundo trimestre de 2010, lo que refleja una disminución del uno por ciento en el tráfico de clientes, compensada por un aumento del uno por ciento en el tamaño medio de los pedidos. Con un 5,03 por ciento, la tasa de ingresos operativos se redujo 23 puntos básicos en comparación con el segundo trimestre de 2010. Esta reducción se debe fundamentalmente al aumento de los gastos de marketing y de mano de obra destinados a impulsar el crecimiento en el negocio de las soluciones de copia e impresión y de tecnología, compensado en parte por la mejora de los márgenes de los productos y el retroceso de los gastos de alquileres y ocupación. La empresa abrió cuatro tiendas y cerró dos en Estados Unidos de América, y abrió cuatro en Canadá, para terminar el segundo trimestre de 2011 con 1.907 tiendas en toda Norteamérica.
International
Las ventas de International en el segundo trimestre de 2011 ascendieron a 1.300 millones de dólares, lo que representa un aumento del 15,2 por ciento en dólares estadounidenses y una disminución del 0,1 por ciento en moneda local con respecto al mismo periodo del año anterior. El crecimiento de entre un 4 y un 6 por ciento de las ventas del negocio European Delivery se vio compensado por una caída del 5 por ciento de las ventas comparables en tiendas de Europa, así como por la débil cifra de ventas de la división Printing Systems. Con un 1,24 por ciento, la tasa de ingresos operativos aumentó 7 puntos básicos en comparación con el segundo trimestre del 2010. Este aumento se debe ante todo a los estrictos controles de los gastos generales y administrativos en Europa, compensados por el desapalancamiento de la cadena de suministro y el gasto en mano de obra en European Delivery y Australia. La empresa abrió una tienda en Alemania y cerró otra en China durante el segundo trimestre de 2011. El negocio International terminó el trimestre con 378 tiendas.
Previsiones
Para el tercer trimestre de 2011, la empresa prevé que las ventas se incrementen entre un 1 y un 3 por ciento con respecto al mismo periodo de 2010 y que las ganancias diluidas por acción, según los PCGA estadounidenses, oscilen entre 0,46 y 0,48 dólares. Para todo el año 2011, la empresa espera que las ventas se incrementen entre un 1 y un 3 por ciento con respecto a 2010 y que las ganancias diluidas por acción, según los PCGA estadounidenses, oscilen entre 1,42 y 1,48 dólares. Sin contar la devolución de impuestos durante el segundo trimestre, de aproximadamente 21 millones de dólares ó 0,03 dólares por acción, la empresa espera que las ganancias diluidas ajustadas por acción de todo 2011 se sitúen entre 1,39 y 1,45 dólares. A día de hoy Staples prevé que su tasa real de impuestos en todo el año sea del 34 por ciento, excluyendo la devolución de impuestos del segundo trimestre.
La empresa espera generar en 2011 más de 1.000 millones en flujo de efectivo después de destinar alrededor de 400 millones de dólares en gastos de capital a inversiones en iniciativas de crecimiento, sistemas, la integración de las redes de distribución en Norteamérica y Europa, remodelaciones y nuevas tiendas.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
This press release presents certain results both with and without the integration and restructuring expense associated with Corporate Express in 2010, certain results for 2010 and 2011 both with and without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and certain results with and without the impact of the tax refund in 2011. The presentation of results that excludes these items, as well as the presentation of free cash flow, are non-GAAP financial measures that should be considered in addition to, and should not be considered superior to, or as a substitute for, the presentation of results determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide a meaningful comparison to prior periods because the adjustments do not affect the on-going operations of the combined businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the operating results of the company´s business against prior year results and its operating plan, and to forecast and analyze future periods. Management recognizes there are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as they may reduce comparability with other companies that use different methods to calculate similar non-GAAP measures. Management generally compensates for the limitations resulting from the exclusion of these items by considering the impact of these items separately in GAAP as well as non-GAAP results. In addition, Management presents the most comparable GAAP measures ahead of non-GAAP measures and provides a reconciliation that indicates and describes the adjustments made.
Comunicación colectiva en el día de hoy
La empresa realizará una comunicación colectiva hoy a las 9:00 h de la mañana (hora europea) para analizar estos resultados y previsiones. Los inversores están invitados a escuchar la comunicación en http://investor.staples.com.

Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The company believes free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and uses this measure as an indication of the company´s ability to generate cash and invest in its business.
