Exhibit 99.1
hhgregg Announces Third Fiscal Quarter Operating Results
INDIANAPOLIS, January 28, 2016 - hhgregg, Inc. (NYSE: HGG) ("hhgregg" or the "Company") today announced operating results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the third quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Third Quarter Summary
 
Net sales decreased 10.9% to $593 million compared to prior year third quarter.
Comparable store sales decreased 10.8% compared to the prior year third quarter.
Gross margin decreased to 26.1% compared to 27.0% in the prior year third quarter
Net loss per diluted share was $0.97. Net loss per diluted share, as adjusted, was $0.17. In the prior year third quarter, net loss per diluted share was $3.10 and net loss per diluted share, as adjusted, was $0.18.
Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million compared to $8.0 million in the prior year third quarter.
Dennis May, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As we previously reported, we did not meet our overall expectations for the quarter due to the competitive pressures in the market, but continue to see the impact from our strategic investments in our transformation plan. Year to date we have now realized $48.9 million of cost savings and remain on track to meet or exceed our plan to save $50 million in fiscal 2016. These cost savings efforts have allowed us to generate $4.0 million more of Adjusted EBITDA fiscal year to date compared to the comparable prior year period and we remain confident we will generate positive adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year. We also continue to focus on our revenue generation initiatives, specifically around Fine Lines expansion, furniture growth and premium televisions, as we finish fiscal 2016 and enter into fiscal 2017.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER
Revenue Highlights
The Company's net sales performance in the quarter was driven primarily by a comparable store sales decline. Net sales mix and comparable store sales percentage changes by product category for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Gross Margin Highlights
The Company's gross profit margin, expressed as gross profit as a percentage of net sales, decreased 83 basis points for the three month period ended December 31, 2015 to 26.1% from 27.0% for the comparable prior year period.
The Company's decrease in gross profit margin for the period was primarily a result of lower gross profit margin rates in all categories except home products, partially offset by a favorable product sales mix to categories with higher gross margin rates. The decrease in gross margin rates was primarily driven by greater competition and a higher promotional environment during the holiday period.









Cost Structure Highlights
The Company continues to manage its cost structure to align with its expected sales levels and to keep the Company positioned for EBITDA growth.
During the third quarter, hhgregg realized $21.7 million of its expected $50 million of annual cost savings for fiscal 2016. For the first nine months of fiscal 2016, the Company realized $48.9 million of the targeted $50 million projected annual cost savings. This has partially been offset by $6.0 million of additional fees associated with customer financing described below.
The decrease in advertising expense of $4.7 million for the third quarter was due to a reduction of gross advertising spend primarily driven by reductions in print media along with rebalancing of spending among more efficient advertising mediums.
The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales to 19.6% from 19.9% for the three month comparable prior year period was a result of:
49 basis points decrease, or $8.6 million, in wages due to our continuing effort to drive efficiencies in the Company's labor structure; and
36 basis points decrease, or $4.3 million, in delivery services due to efficiencies in routing and lower fuel prices; and
22 basis points decrease, or $2.2 million, in employee benefits due to a reduction of medical expenses and payroll taxes driven by the efficiencies in the Company's labor structure; and
15 basis points decrease, or $1.1 million, due to the lapsing of consulting expenses to assist with our transformation efforts in the prior year period.
These decreases were partially offset by:
a 26 basis points increase, or $0.9 million, in fees associated with the higher cost of offering customer extended months special financing options and the increased use of the private label credit card; and
a 72 basis point increase,or $0.9 million, increase in occupancy costs primarily due to increased property tax rates.
Asset Impairment
Due to declining sales and overall pressure on profitability in the third fiscal quarter the Company performed a detailed store impairment analysis as of December 31, 2015. As a result of the third quarter of fiscal 2016 impairment analysis, 40 locations with an aggregate net book value of $21.7 million were reduced to an estimated aggregate fair value of $0.8 million based on their projected cash flows, discounted at 15%. This resulted in a non-cash asset impairment charge of $20.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The fair values were determined using a probability based cash flow analysis based on management's estimates of future store-level sales, gross margins, and direct expenses.
Income Taxes
During the third quarter fiscal 2016 the Company recorded $1.3 million of income tax expense due to the settlement of an Internal Revenue Service examination for a prior year. There was no income tax expense or benefit recorded related to the current quarter operations due to the Company's full valuation allowance that was recorded in the prior year. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $41.3 million income tax expense, or $1.47 per diluted shared, due to recording a full valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to zero.

We believe that the non-GAAP measures described above provide meaningful information to assist shareholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. Management believes adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per diluted share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Management makes standard adjustments for items such as non-cash asset impairments, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, income taxes recorded in current period related to prior year periods, as well as adjustments for other items that may arise during the period and have a meaningful impact on comparability.





The above information provides reconciliations from net (loss), the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in U.S. (“GAAP”), to non-GAAP financial measures. The Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the accompanying earnings release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the earnings release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying earnings release may differ from similar measures used by other companies.
EBITDA represents net loss before income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company has presented EBITDA because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Management uses EBITDA as a measurement tool for evaluating its actual operating performance compared to budget and prior periods. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under US GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net loss prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

Some of the limitations of EBITDA measures are:
 
EBITDA does not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on the Company's debt;
EBITDA does not reflect tax expense or the cash requirements necessary to pay for tax obligations; and
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the asset being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using EBITDA only as a supplement.
