HHGREGG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
hhgregg, Inc. (“hhgregg” or the “Company”) is an appliance, electronics and furniture retailer that is committed to providing customers with a truly differentiated purchase experience through superior customer service, knowledgeable sales associates and the highest quality product selections. Founded in 1955, hhgregg is a multi-regional retailer with 227 brick-and-mortar stores in 20 states that also offers market-leading global and local brands at value prices nationwide via hhgregg.com. The Company operates in one reportable segment.
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, for a fair presentation of such data. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of hhgregg and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 15, 2015.    
The consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for a full year. The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the assets and liabilities and the reporting of sales and expenses to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of hhgregg and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gregg Appliances, Inc. (“Gregg Appliances”). Gregg Appliances has a wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing LLC (“HHG Distributing”), which has no assets or operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. The original standard was to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. While the Company is still in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position, the Company does not currently expect a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2015-3) related to the presentation of debt issuance costs (FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30). This standard will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. These costs will continue to be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and retrospective adoption is required. The Company will adopt this pronouncement for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
    
(2)
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable—trade, accounts receivable—other, accounts payable and customer deposits approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Any outstanding amount on the Company’s line of credit approximates fair value as the interest rate is market based.

Net Loss per Share
Net loss per basic and diluted share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. When the Company reports net income, the calculation of net income per diluted share excludes shares underlying outstanding stock options and restricted stock units with exercise prices that exceed the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period and certain options and restricted stock units with unrecognized compensation cost, as the effect would be antidilutive. Potential dilutive common shares are composed of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the diluted loss per common share calculation represents the weighted average common shares outstanding with no additional dilutive shares as the Company incurred a net loss for the period and such shares would be antidilutive.
The following table presents net loss per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

On July 29, 2013, Gregg Appliances entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Facility”). The capacity for borrowings under the Company's Amended Facility is $400 million, subject to borrowing base availability. The facility expires on July 29, 2018.
Interest on borrowings (other than Eurodollar rate borrowings) is payable monthly at a fluctuating rate based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the average quarterly excess availability. Interest on Eurodollar rate borrowings is payable on the last day of each “interest period” applicable to such borrowing or on the three month anniversary of the beginning of such “interest period” for interest periods greater than three months. The unused line rate is determined based on the amount of the daily average of the outstanding borrowings for the immediately preceding calendar quarter period (the “Daily Average”). For a Daily Average greater than or equal to 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate is 0.25%. For a Daily Average less than 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate is 0.375%. The Amended Facility is guaranteed by Gregg Appliances’ wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing, which has no assets or operations. The guarantee is full and unconditional and Gregg Appliances has no other subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the Amended Facility, the borrowing base is equal to the sum of (i) 90% of the amount of the eligible commercial accounts, (ii) 90% of the amount of eligible commercial and credit card receivables of Gregg Appliances and (iii) 90% of the net recovery percentage multiplied by the value of eligible inventory consistent with the most recent appraisal of such eligible inventory.
Under the Amended Facility, Gregg Appliances is not required to comply with any financial maintenance covenant. However, if “excess availability” is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit or (ii) $20.0 million during the continuance of which event Gregg Appliances is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
Pursuant to the Amended Facility, if Gregg Appliances has “excess availability” of less than 12.5% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit, it may, in certain circumstances more specifically described in the Amended Facility, become subject to cash dominion control.
The Amended Facility places limitations on the ability of Gregg Appliances to, among other things, incur debt, create other liens on its assets, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, undertake transactions with affiliates, enter into merger transactions, enter into unrelated businesses, open collateral locations outside of the United States, or enter into consignment assignments or floor plan financing arrangements. The Amended Facility also contains various customary representations and warranties, financial and collateral reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants. Gregg Appliances was in compliance with the restrictions and covenants of the Amended Facility at June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, Gregg Appliances had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended Facility and $6.5 million of letters of credit outstanding, which expire through December 31, 2015. The total borrowing availability under the Amended Facility was $181.9 million and $134.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The interest rate based on the bank’s prime rate was 4.0% and 3.75% as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation
Stock Options
Effective June 20, 2014, the Company adopted an Amendment to the hhgregg, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan which increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to 9,000,000. The following table summarizes the activity under the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2015:

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted options exercisable for 274,626 shares of common stock under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees and directors of the Company. The options vest in equal amounts over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant and expire 7 years from the date of the grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The weighted average estimated fair value of options granted to employees and directors under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan was $1.85 during the three months ended June 30, 2015, using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate

Time Vested Restricted Stock Units
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 365,662 time vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees and directors of the Company. The RSUs vest in equal amounts over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of RSUs will be converted into shares of common stock. RSUs are forfeited if they have not vested before the participant's service to the Company terminates for any reason other than death or total permanent disability or certain other circumstances as described in such participant’s RSU agreement. Upon death or disability, the participant is entitled to receive a portion of the award based upon the period of time lapsed between the date of grant of the RSU and the termination of service as an employee or director. The fair value of RSU awards is based on the Company’s stock price at the close of the market on the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value for the RSUs issued during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $3.82.

8) Share Repurchase Program
On May 14, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program, which became effective on May 20, 2014 (the “May 2014 Program”), allowing the Company to repurchase up to $40 million of its common stock. The May 2014 Program allowed the Company to purchase its common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and expired on May 20, 2015.
The following table shows the number and cost of shares repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively ($ in thousands):

9) Subsequent Event
The Company is the defendant in a class action lawsuit captioned, Dwain Underwood, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. Gregg Appliances, Inc. and hhgregg, Inc., filed in the Superior Court in Marion County, Indiana, where a former employee alleged that the Company breached a contract by failing to correctly calculate his (and other class members) incentive bonus.  On July 9, 2014, the judge granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification, and on July 17, 2015, the judge granted the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, although no finding on damages has yet been made.  The Company intends to appeal the court’s decision.  If the Company does not ultimately prevail in this case, the potential liability is approximately $2.4 million based on those individuals included in the class, excluding interest and other fees which cannot be determined at this time. The Company believes the loss is not probable, and thus, as of June 30, 2015, a liability has not been recorded for this matter.    

ITEM 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in five sections:
Overview
Critical Accounting Polices
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Contractual Obligations
Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein and the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2015.
Overview
hhgregg is an appliance, electronics and furniture retailer that is committed to providing customers with a truly differentiated purchase experience through superior customer service, knowledgeable sales associates and the highest quality product selections. Founded in 1955, hhgregg is a multi-regional retailer with 227 brick-and-mortar stores in 20 states that also offers market-leading global and local brands at value prices nationwide via hhgregg.com. References to fiscal years in this report relate to the respective 12 month period ended March 31. Our 2016 fiscal year is the 12 month period ending on March 31, 2016.
Throughout our MD&A, we refer to comparable store sales. Comparable store sales is comprised of net sales at stores in operation for at least 14 full months, including remodeled and relocated stores, as well as net sales for our website. Stores that

11


are closed are excluded from the calculation the month before closing. The method of calculating comparable store sales varies across the retail industry, and our method of calculating comparable store sales may not be the same as other retailers’ methods.
This overview section is divided into three sub-sections discussing our operating strategy and performance, business strategy and core philosophies and seasonality.
Operating Strategy and Performance. We focus the majority of our floor space, advertising expense and distribution infrastructure on the marketing, delivery and installation of a wide selection of premium appliance, consumer electronics and home furniture products. We carry approximately 350 models of major appliances in stock, a large selection of televisions, as well as, computers, consumer electronics, furniture, mattresses, and tablets. Appliance and consumer electronics sales comprised 89% and 88% of our net sales mix for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
We strive to differentiate ourselves through our customer purchase experience starting with a highly-trained, consultative commissioned sales force which educates our customers on the features and benefits of our products, followed by rapid product delivery and installation, and ending with post-sales support services. We carefully monitor our competition to ensure that our prices are competitive in the market place. Our experience has been that informed customers often choose to buy a more heavily-featured product once they understand the applicability and benefits of its features. Heavily-featured products typically carry higher average selling prices and higher margins than less-featured, entry-level price point products.

In response to the declines in our overall comparable store sales, we developed three major initiatives for fiscal 2016. These include enhancing our revenue opportunities, marketing reduction and re-allocation and right-sizing our expense structure.

Our first initiative for fiscal 2016 is to continue to enhance our revenue opportunities. The appliance category will continue to be the centerpiece of our business, and as such, we will continue to drive specific initiatives around the category. We will continue to enhance our product selection by adding additional Fine Lines departments. Fine Lines departments incorporate ultra premium appliances brands that are not currently in our hhgregg stores and historically have improved our appliance revenues in stores. We will also continue to refine our product assortments by geography to better match our inventory with geographic preferences. The U.S. Census Bureau’s data on New Residential Construction shows that U.S. Housing Start-Ups experienced a 9.5% increase for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2015 over the prior year comparable period. Additionally, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal consumption expenditures for home appliances increased 0.2% from $45.7 billion in calendar 2013 to $45.8 billion in 2014. We expect that as the U.S. housing market and general economy improves, the appliance industry will experience increases in demand. While this data indicates that the housing market has improved year over year, there is no guarantee that the improvement in the housing market will continue and will not be impacted in the future by factors such as rising interest rates. Within the video category, we will continue to focus our selling strategies on larger screen sized Ultra HD 4k TVs. The U.S. Consumer Electronics Sales & Forecasts published by the Consumer Electronics Association in January 2015 indicates a projected 208% increase in unit sales for Ultra HD 4k TVs, and an overall 2.5% increase in consumer electronics for calendar 2015. Within the computer and tablet category, we will reset our departments and continue to right size our inventory. The U.S. Consumer Electronics Sales & Forecasts published by the Consumer Electronics Association in January 2015 indicates a projected 1.3% increase in PCs and printers and a modest 0.7% decrease in sales of tablets for calendar 2015. Within the home products category, we will continue to refine our assortment and focus on the areas within furniture that are driving the greatest productivity.

Our second initiative for fiscal 2016 is to reduce and re-allocate our marketing spend. Beginning in fiscal 2015, we engaged outside consultants to assist us in reviewing the effectiveness of our advertising mediums. As a result of that review, we have made the strategic decision to reduce the less effective medium, increased investments in more effective mediums, and reduced our gross marketing spend by more than $20 million primarily due to reductions in print media. During fiscal 2015, we spent approximately $160 million on advertising expenses. Historically, we had advertising inserts in every Sunday newspaper and many of the Thursday papers in each of our markets. We expect to significantly reduce our newspaper insert advertising. While we will reduce our overall spend, we will increase our investments in digital and television advertising. During the quarter, we reduced gross marketing spend by $5.4 million.

Our third initiative for fiscal 2016 is a reduction in our overall selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") cost structure. We have specific plans to reduce our overall SG&A expenses at an annualized rate of $30 million. We are currently reviewing all aspects of our SG&A expense structure to better manage expenses. This is inclusive of store-level, corporate and logistics expenses. In addition to the expense reductions already identified, we are working towards additional expense reductions throughout fiscal 2016. Additionally, we have begun a thorough review of our inventory productivity and are analyzing ways to more effectively utilize inventory and maximize inventory turns. We expect inventory per store balances to

12


be lower on a year over year basis throughout fiscal 2016. Through optimization of in-store inventory levels and rationalizing our distribution footprint, we expect to reduce average inventory by more than $50 million.

Business Strategy and Core Philosophies. Our business strategy is focused around offering our customers a superior customer purchase experience. From the time the customers walk in the door, they experience a customer-friendly store. Our stores are brightly lit and have clearly distinguished departments that allow our customers to find what they are looking for. We greet and assist our customers with our highly-trained consultative sales force, who educate the customers about the different product features.

We believe our products are rich in features and innovation. We believe that customers find it helpful to have someone explain the features and benefits of a product as this assistance allows them the opportunity to buy the product that most closely matches their needs. We focus our product assortment on big box items and we follow up on the customer purchase experience by offering delivery capabilities on many of our products and in-home installation service.

While we believe many of our product offerings are considered essential items by our customers, other products and certain features are viewed as discretionary purchases. As a result, our results of operations are susceptible to a challenging macro-economic environment. Factors such as changes in consumer confidence, unemployment, consumer credit availability and the condition of the housing market have negatively impacted our core product categories and added volatility to our overall business. As consumers show a more cautious approach to purchases of discretionary items, customer traffic and spending patterns continue to be difficult to predict. By providing a knowledgeable consultative sales force, delivery capabilities, credit offerings and expanded product offerings, we believe we offer our customers a differentiated value proposition. There are many variables that affect consumer demand for the home product purchases that we offer, including:

Real disposable personal income is projected to grow at a stronger pace in 2015 than in 2014. Real disposable personal income is forecasted to increase 3.5% in calendar 2015, up from the 2.5% gain recorded in 2014, based on the March 2015 Blue Chip Economic Indicators ®. *

The average unemployment rate for 2015 is forecasted to decline to 5.4%, according to the March 2015 Blue Chip Economic Indicators, which would be an improvement from the 6.2% average in 2014.

In 2014, home price appreciation improved to an estimated 5.7%, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency index.  Economists generally expect the rate of home price growth to moderate in 2015 but to remain positive.

Housing turnover decreased 2.8% in 2014 after a 9.0% increase in 2013, according to The National Association of Realtors and U.S. Census Bureau. Growth in 2014 was restrained by an increase in mortgage rates and harsh winter weather. Turnover is generally expected to increase in 2015, supported by a strengthening job market, rising incomes and historically low mortgage rates.

    Retail appliance sales are correlated to the housing industry and housing turnover. As more people purchase existing homes in the market, appliance sales tend to trend upward. Conversely, when demand in the housing market declines, appliance sales are negatively impacted. The appliance industry has benefited from increased innovation in energy efficient products. While these energy efficient products typically carry a higher average selling price than traditional products, they save the consumer significant dollars in annual energy savings. Average unit selling prices of major appliances are not expected to change dramatically in the foreseeable future. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal consumption for home appliances increased 0.2% from $45.7 billion in 2013 to $45.8 billion in 2014. Major household appliances, such as refrigerators, stovetops, dishwashers and washer and dryers, account for approximately 86.4% of the $39.6 billion of total appliance sales in 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we generated 59% of total product sales from the sale of appliances, compared to 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The consumer electronics industry depends on new product innovations to drive sales and profitability. Innovative, heavily-featured products are typically introduced at relatively high price points. Over time, price points are gradually reduced to drive consumption. Accordingly, there has been consistent price compression in flat panel televisions for equivalent screen sizes in recent years without a widely accepted innovation in technology to offset this compression. As new technology has not been sufficient to keep demand constant, the industry has seen falling demand, gross margin rate declines, and average selling price declines. Over the last couple of years, we have proactively shifted our focus towards larger screen sizes with higher profit margins, which has also resulted in lost market share in the consumer electronics category, as we offered fewer smaller

13


screen size televisions. During fiscal 2015 the video industry experienced a stronger innovation cycle. As a result, we experienced higher average selling prices in the category as consumer preference shifted towards new products such as OLED and Ultra HD 4k TVs and larger screen sizes. In addition, we have seen the evolution of traditional consumer electronics devices change to connected devices in the last few years. We have added product SKUs related to connected devices, and will continue to utilize product innovations in this category to generate traffic. Despite the new technology innovations we may continue to experience a decline in overall consumer electronics sales. In future years, we will continue to evaluate our mix of product offerings in the consumer electronics category to maximize profit margins without significant loss of market share, while also featuring key opening price points to drive traffic. While the direction of consumer electronics sales are not certain, we believe there is opportunity for growth based on the following statistical information. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal consumption for consumer electronics was $217.4 billion in 2014, a 3.2% increase from 2013. From this total, televisions accounted for $38.3 billion compared to $37.3 billion in the prior year, and personal computers and equipment accounted for $56.5 billion compared to $53.8 billion in the prior year. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we generated 30% of total product sales from the sale of consumer electronics, compared to 31% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

In previous years, we have introduced new products to offset falling market demand and market share losses of our product categories. We will continue to monitor the performance of these new categories, along with market share shifts between the competitive set in our existing categories. During fiscal 2014 we expanded our newest product categories within home products by adding additional room settings, additional mattresses and dinette sets. We will continue to refine our assortment in the furniture category by expanding our selection from one brand to several brands. We expect to test various products such as other types of home furniture including, but not limited to, outdoor casual living and bedroom pieces. As we are currently experiencing growth in this product category, we are optimistic about the growth experienced by the industry as well. With these changes, we continue to lose overall market share but at a lower pace than we did previously. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal consumption for household furniture was $97.3 billion in 2014, an increase of 2.9% from $94.5 billion in 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we generated 6% of total product sales from the sale of furniture and mattresses compared to 5% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For fiscal 2016 we plan to expand our offerings in this product category.
Seasonality. Our business is seasonal, with a higher portion of net sales, operating costs, and operating profit realized during the quarter that ends December 31st due to the overall demand for consumer electronics during the holiday shopping season. Appliance sales are impacted by seasonal weather patterns, but are less seasonal than our electronics business and helps to offset the seasonality of our overall business.

Critical Accounting Policies
We describe our critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 15, 2015. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since the end of fiscal 2015.

Comprised of net sales at stores in operation for at least 14 full months, including remodeled and relocated stores, as well as net sales for our e-commerce site.
Net loss was $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $10.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 6.6% to $441.1 million from $472.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The improvement in our net loss compared to the prior year period is the due to an improvement in our gross profit margin compared to the prior year and the effective management of our cost structure and net advertising expense.

The decrease in comparable store sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was driven by decreases in computers and tablets, consumer electronics and appliances slightly offset by an increase in home products. The comparable store sales decline in the appliance category is primarily due to a decline in average selling prices and units sold. The consumer electronics category comparable store sales decline was primarily due to a decline in units sold offset slightly by an increase in average selling price. The decrease of 42% in comparable store sales for the computers and tablets category for the three month period was driven by a decrease in unit demand and average selling prices. The increase of 12.1% in comparable store sales for the home products category was largely a result of an increase in unit demand and average selling prices.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014
Gross profit margin, expressed as gross profit as a percentage of net sales, increased for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to 30.5% from 29.7% for the comparable prior year period. The increase was a result of a favorable product sales mix to categories with higher gross margin rates and increases in gross profit margin rates for the consumer electronics, computers and tablets and home products categories.
SG&A expense, as a percentage of net sales, increased 50 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was the result of a 77 basis points increase in consulting expenses to assist in rationalizing our marketing spend, optimizing our logistics network and accelerating our transformation efforts. During the quarter, we incurred $3.9 million in fees associated with consulting expenses to assist in the transformation efforts. Occupancy costs had a 48 basis points increase due to the deleveraging effect of the net sales decline and bank transaction fees had a 38 basis points increase associated with higher cost financing options offered to our customers and higher private label credit card penetration. These increases were partially offset by a 47 basis point decrease in wages due to our continuing effort to drive efficiencies in our labor structure and a 35 basis point decrease in employee benefits due to a reduction of medical expense.
Net advertising expense, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 54 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year was due to a reduction of gross advertising spend primarily driven by reductions in print media along with the rebalancing of spending among the different advertising mediums.
Depreciation expense, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 32 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period. The reduction of expense was the result of a lower asset base to depreciate due to the $47.9 million asset impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2015.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a $4.3 million income tax benefit due to our operating loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we did not record an income tax expense or benefit due to our full income tax valuation allowance.

Our liquidity requirements arise primarily from our need to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures. We make capital expenditures principally to fund our existing and new stores along with our e-commerce business and the related supply chain infrastructure, which includes, among other things, investments in new stores and new distribution facilities, remodeling and relocation of existing stores, enhancements to our e-commerce site, as well as information technology and other infrastructure-related projects.
During the first three months of fiscal 2016, we continued to invest in our infrastructure, including management information systems, e-commerce and distribution capabilities, as well as incur capital remodeling and improvement costs. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2016 have been funded through cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our Amended Facility described below and tenant allowances from landlords.
Cash Used In Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net loss as adjusted for increases or decreases in working capital and non-cash charges such as depreciation, deferred taxes and stock compensation expense. Cash used in operating activities was $16.2 million and $40.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments, coupled with the lower net loss experienced in the current year compared to the prior year period.
Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.4 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to a slight decrease

16


in capital expenditures. In the three months ended June 30, 2015, we opened one new store and invested in infrastructure and e-commerce. In the three months ended June 30, 2014, we opened one new store and began construction on projects completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
Cash (Used In) Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(0.1) million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities is due to the repayments on the inventory financing facility partially offset by the treasury stock repurchases of $1.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Amended Facility. On July 29, 2013, Gregg Appliances, Inc. (“Gregg Appliances”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Facility”) to increase the maximum credit available to $400 million from $300 million, subject to borrowing base availability, and extend the term of the facility to expire on July 29, 2018. The facility was set to expire on March 29, 2016.
Interest on borrowings (other than Eurodollar rate borrowings) is payable monthly at a fluctuating rate based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the average quarterly excess availability. Interest on Eurodollar rate borrowings is payable on the last day of each “interest period” applicable to such borrowing or on the three month anniversary of the beginning of such “interest period” for interest periods greater than three months. The unused line rate was determined based on the amount of the daily average of the outstanding borrowings for the immediately preceding calendar quarter period (the “Daily Average”). For a Daily Average greater than or equal to 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate was 0.25%. For a Daily Average less than 50% of the defined borrowing base, the unused line rate was 0.375%. The Amended Facility is guaranteed by Gregg Appliances’ wholly-owned subsidiary, HHG Distributing, which has no assets or operations. The guarantee is full and unconditional and Gregg Appliances has no other subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the Amended Facility, the borrowing base is equal to the sum of (i) 90% of the amount of the eligible commercial accounts, (ii) 90% of the amount of eligible commercial and credit card receivables of Gregg Appliances and (iii) 90% of the net recovery percentage multiplied by the value of eligible inventory consistent with the most recent appraisal of such eligible inventory.
Under the Amended Facility, Gregg Appliances is not required to comply with any financial maintenance covenant. However, if “excess availability” is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit or (ii) $20.0 million during the continuance of which event Gregg Appliances is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
Pursuant to the Amended Facility, if Gregg Appliances has “excess availability” of less than 12.5% of the lesser of (A) the defined borrowing base or (B) the defined maximum credit, it may, in certain circumstances more specifically described in the Amended Facility, become subject to cash dominion control.
The Amended Facility places limitations on the ability of Gregg Appliances to, among other things, incur debt, create other liens on its assets, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, undertake transactions with affiliates, enter into merger transactions, enter into unrelated businesses, open collateral locations outside of the United States, or enter into consignment assignments or floor plan financing arrangements. The Amended Facility also contains various customary representations and warranties, financial and collateral reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants. Gregg Appliances was in compliance with the restrictions and covenants of the Amended Facility at June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, Gregg Appliances had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended Facility. As of June 30, 2015, Gregg Appliances had $6.5 million of letters of credit outstanding, which expire through December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, Gregg Appliances had $6.5 million of letters of credit outstanding, which expire through December 31, 2015. The total borrowing availability under the Amended Facility was $181.9 million and $134.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The interest rate based on the bank’s prime rate was 4.0% and 3.75% as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015. respectively.
Inventory Financing Facility. We have an inventory financing facility, which is a $10 million unsecured credit line that is non-interest bearing and is not collateralized with the inventory purchased. The facility includes customary covenants as well as customary events of default.
Long Term Liquidity. Anticipated cash flows from operations and funds available from our Amended Facility, together with cash on hand, is expected to provide sufficient funds to finance our operations for the next 12 months. There have been no material changes to the terms of our purchase agreements with inventory suppliers. As a normal part of our business, we consider opportunities to refinance our existing indebtedness, based on market conditions. Although we may refinance all or part of our existing indebtedness in the future, there can be no assurances that we will do so. Changes in our operating plans,

lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, reduced vendor terms, acquisitions or other events may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Additional debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations, additional covenants and operating restrictions.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations during the period covered by this report. See our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 15, 2015 for additional information regarding our contractual obligations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this document constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our business’ or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Such statements include, the Company's estimates of cash flows for purposes of impairment charges, the Company's ability to manage costs, ability to execute on our 2016 initiatives, innovation in the video industry, the impact and amount of non-cash charges, and shifts in the Company's sales mix. hhgregg has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While hhgregg believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, these forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond its control. These and other important factors may cause hhgregg's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from hhgregg's expectations are: the ability to successfully execute its strategies and initiatives, particularly in the sales mix shift and consumer electronics category; its ability to maintain a positive brand perception and recognition; the failure of manufacturers to introduce new products and technologies; competition in existing, adjacent and new metropolitan markets; its ability to maintain the security of customer, associate and Company information; its ability to roll out new financing offers to customers; its ability to effectively manage and monitor its operations, costs and service quality; its ability to maintain and upgrade its information technology systems; its ability to maintain and develop multi-channel sales and marketing strategies; competition from internet retailers; its ability to meet delivery schedules; the effect of general and regional economic and employment conditions on its net sales; its ability to attract and retain qualified sales personnel; its ability to meet financial performance guidance; its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to recover the fair value of long-lived assets and recognize deferred tax assets; its reliance on a small number of suppliers; its ability to negotiate with its suppliers to provide product on a timely basis at competitive prices; changes in legal and/or trade regulations, currency fluctuations and prevailing interest rates; and the potential for litigation. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “tends,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, these forward looking statements are projections only and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Actual events or results may differ materially because of market conditions in our industry or other factors. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” herein, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 15, 2015. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to certain market risks, including interest rate risk.
As of June 30, 2015, our debt was comprised of our Amended Facility.
Interest on borrowings under our Amended Facility is payable monthly at a fluctuating rate based on the bank’s prime, LIBOR, or Eurodollar rates plus an applicable margin based on the average quarterly excess availability. As of June 30, 2015, we had no outstanding borrowings on our Amended Facility.

ITEM 4.
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a Disclosure Committee, consisting of certain members of management, to assist in this evaluation. Our Disclosure Committee meets on a quarterly basis and more often if necessary.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2015. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.
Other Information
ITEM 1.
Legal Proceedings
We are engaged in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business and have certain unresolved claims pending. The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time. However, management believes, based on the examination of these matters and experiences to date, that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided for in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 
ITEM 1A.
Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 15, 2015. The risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
