For the first quarter the company reported a net loss of $110.2 million, or $2.03 loss per share, Adjusted Net Loss of $32.8 million, or $0.60 loss per share, and Adjusted EBITDA of $100.1 million, or 1.7 percent of revenues.

Revenues for the quarter were $6.01 billion compared to revenues of $6.16 billion in the prior year's quarter.

First quarter net loss was $110.2 million, or $2.03 per share, compared to last year's first quarter net loss of $13.1 million, or $0.24 per share. First quarter adjusted net loss was $32.8 million, or $0.60 per share, compared to last year's first quarter adjusted net income of $20.9 million or $0.38 per share. The increase in adjusted net loss is due primarily to higher facility exit and impairment charges driven by the Company's previously announced store closure decisions and a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA. These items were partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of assets resulting from script file sales of certain of the store closures.

Retail Pharmacy Segment revenues decreased 0.1 percent over the prior year quarter, driven by a reduction in COVID vaccine and testing revenue as well as store closures, offset by an increase in non-COVID prescriptions. Same store sales for the first quarter increased 4.6 percent over the prior year period, consisting of a 6.6 percent increase in pharmacy sales, partially offset by a 0.5 percent decrease in front-end sales. Front-end same store sales, excluding cigarettes and tobacco products, were flat. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores, adjusted to 30-day equivalents, increased 0.9 percent over the prior year period. Total non-COVID same store prescriptions increased 3.7 percent, with same store maintenance prescriptions increasing 1.4 percent and other same store acute prescriptions increasing 11.9 percent. Prescription sales accounted for 70.8 percent of total drugstore sales. Total store count at the end of the first quarter was 2,361.

Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $73.7 million, or 1.7 percent of revenues, for the first quarter compared to last year's first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $94.9 million, or 2.2 percent of revenues. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was due to decreased gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $40.5 million. Gross profit was negatively impacted by the decline in COVID-19 vaccinations and testing. The gross profit headwind from reduced COVID related services was partially offset by an increase in prescriptions filled and improved front end gross margin. SG&A expenses benefited from lower payroll, occupancy and other operating costs due to store closures and cost control initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA

43,963

Pharmacy Services Segment revenues were $1.7 billion for the quarter, a decrease of 7.8 percent compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of a planned decrease in Elixir Insurance membership and a previously announced client loss due to industry consolidation, offset by higher retained rebates from our new rebate aggregation arrangement and increased utilization of higher cost drugs.

Pharmacy Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $26.4 million, or 1.5 percent of revenues, for the first quarter compared to last year's first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $44.0 million, or 2.4 percent of revenues. The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA resulted from the decline in revenues associated with lost clients, as discussed above, and an increase in the medical loss ratio at Elixir insurance, partially offset by higher retained rebates from our new rebate aggregation arrangement.

Outlook for Fiscal 2023

The Company has increased its outlook for Fiscal 2023 revenues, due to increased utilization of higher cost drugs at Elixir and is maintaining its guidance for Adjusted EBITDA.

Total revenues are expected to be between $23.6 billion and $24.0 billion in fiscal 2023. Retail Pharmacy Segment revenue is expected to be between $17.35 billion and $17.65 billion and Pharmacy Services Segment revenue is expected to be between $6.25 billion and $6.35 billion (net of any intercompany revenues to the Retail Pharmacy Segment).

Net loss is expected to be between $246.3 million and $203.3 million. Our estimates for net loss have increased due to increased impairment charges for closed stores and an increase in interest expense due to recent and anticipated interest rate increases throughout the year.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $460 million and $500 million. Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $320 million and $350 million and Pharmacy Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $140 million and $150 million.

Adjusted net loss per share is expected to be between $(1.19) and $(0.66).

Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $250 million, with a focus on investments in digital capabilities, technology, prescription file purchases, distribution center automation and store remodels.

We expect to generate positive free cash flow in Fiscal 2023.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this release that are not historical, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Rite Aid's outlook and guidance for fiscal 2023; the continued impact of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Rite Aid's business; Rite Aid's store closure program; and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "should," and "will" and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: risks related to the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the emerging new variants, including the government responses thereto; the impact of COVID-19 on our workforce, operations, stores, expenses, and supply chain, and the operations or behaviors of our customers, suppliers and business partners; our ability to successfully implement our store closure program and other strategies; the impact of our high level of indebtedness, the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms and our ability to satisfy our obligations and the other covenants contained in our debt agreements; outcome of pending or new litigation, including related to Opioids, "usual and customary" pricing or other matters; our ability to monetize the CMS receivable created in our Part D business; general competitive, economic, industry, market, political (including healthcare reform) and regulatory conditions (including changes to laws or regulations relating to labor or wages), as well as other factors that impact the markets in which we operate; the impact of private and public third-party payers continued reduction in prescription drug reimbursements and efforts to encourage mail order; our ability to manage expenses and our investments in working capital; our ability to achieve the benefits of our efforts to reduce the costs of our generic and other drugs; our ability to achieve cost savings and other benefits of our restructuring efforts within our anticipated timeframe, if at all; the outcome of our continuing efforts to monitor and comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures; and our ability to partner and have relationships with health plans and health systems.

These and other risks, assumptions and uncertainties are more fully described in Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that we file or furnish with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which you are encouraged to read. To the extent that COVID-19 adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of such risk factors.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

The degree to which COVID-19 may adversely affect Rite Aid's results and operations, including its ability to achieve its outlook for fiscal 2023 guidance, will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments, which are highly uncertain, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local governmental policies and initiatives designed to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and emerging new variants and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. As a result, the impact on Rite Aid's financial and operating results cannot be reasonably estimated with specificity at this time, but the impact could be material. Rite Aid expressly disclaims any current intention, and assumes no duty, to update publicly any forward-looking statement after the distribution of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Rite Aid separately reports financial results on the basis of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA SG&A, which are non-GAAP financial measures. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), and net income (loss) per diluted share, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share exclude amortization expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation and other contractual settlements, gains or losses on debt modifications and retirements, LIFO adjustments, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, restructuring-related costs, the gain or loss on Bartell acquisition, and the change in estimate related to manufacturer rebate receivables. Rite Aid believes Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of its business and help its investors better compare its operating performance over multiple periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility exit and impairment, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, inventory write-downs related to store closings, gains or losses on debt modifications and retirements, and other items (including stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation and other contractual settlements, severance, restructuring-related costs, costs related to facility closures, gain or loss on sale of assets, the gain or loss on Bartell acquisition, and the change in estimate related to manufacturer rebate receivables). The add back of LIFO (credit) charge when calculating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share removes the entire impact of LIFO (credits) charges, and effectively reflects Rite Aid's results as if the company was on a FIFO inventory basis.Rite Aid believes Adjusted EBITDA serves as an appropriate measure in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare its operating performance with its competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit includes LIFO adjustments, depreciation and amortization (COGS portion only) and other items. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit to Revenue, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA SG&A excludes depreciation and amortization (SG&A portion only), stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation and other contractual settlements, and other items. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA SG&A to Revenue, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA SG&A serve as appropriate measures in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare its operating performance with its competitors.
