Physicians Formula Holdings Inc. (FACE, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-03-31.
Physicians Formula Holdings Inc. has a market cap of $41.4 million; its shares were traded at around $3.05 with and P/S ratio of 0.5.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.2 million, or 32.8%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in marketing spending, which reflects a change in the expected timing from the comparable prior period of our marketing investments. Also contributing to the decrease was a $406,000 decrease in corporate administrative costs, a $330,000 decrease in distribution costs, a $333,000 decrease in realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange losses, a $261,000 decrease in bad debt expense and a $75,000 decrease in sales force and sales administrative expenses.
Future Liquidity and Capital Needs. Our net working capital increased $555,000, or 2.3%, to $24.8 million as of March 31, 2010 from $24.3 million as of December 31, 2009. We anticipate that requirements for working capital will increase during the fourth quarter of 2010, when we typically experience higher inventory levels as we produce new products for shipment in the first quarter of the following year. We have budgeted capital expenditures of $5.1 million for 2010 for several key projects, including $3.6 million in investments in retail permanent fixtures, $800,000 in improvements to other manufacturing and distribution equipment, $623,000 in improvements to our information technology infrastructure, $50,000 to upgrade a product assembly line and $17,000 in improvements to our research and development equipment. We expect capital requirements related to fixture infrastructure to total $7.7 million for the period from September 2008 (inception of the project) to December 2010, of which $5.2 million was incurred as of March 31, 2010. We spent $35,000 for capital expenditures and $1.0 million for investments in retail permanent fixtures for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We believe that our cash flows from operations and funds from our financing arrangements entered into during November 2009 will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case.

New Senior Subordinated Note.On November 6, 2009, pursuant to a Senior Subordinated Note Purchase and Security Agreement between Physicians, the guarantors named therein, and Mill Road (the “Note Agreement” or the new "Senior Subordinated Note"), Physicians issued a new Senior Subordinated Note to Mill Road in an aggregate principal amount equal to $8.0 million. Physicians used $4.3 million of the proceeds to repay in full the principal of $4.2 million and interest of $107,000 outstanding under its Bridge Loan from Mill Road. We used the remaining proceeds for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Prior to being amended as described below, the Senior Subordinated Note was scheduled to mature on May 6, 2013 and accrue interest at 19% per annum, with 15% per annum payable in cash monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and 4% payable in kind with quarterly compounding on the first day of each calendar quarter. Interest expense related to the new Senior Subordinated Note totaled approximately $382,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of which $104,000 was included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. Subject to the terms of the new revolving credit facility, the Senior Subordinated Note may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to November 6, 2010 at an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Note, decreasing to 104% if redeemed on or after November 6, 2010 and prior to November 6, 2011, decreasing to 102% if redeemed on or after November 6, 2011 and prior to November 6, 2012, and decreasing to 101% if redeemed on or after November 6, 2012. In addition, Physicians must make an offer to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes upon a change of control of Physicians at the then applicable redemption price. We are required to comply with substantially the same covenants under the Note Agreement that it is required to comply with under the New Senior Credit Agreement and events of default under the Note Agreement are substantially the same as the events of default under the New Senior Credit Agreement. The Senior Subordinated Note is guaranteed by us and Physicians subsidiaries and is secured by a first lien on certain intellectual property and a second lien on substantially all of the other assets of ours and our subsidiaries and pledges of the stock of Physicians and its subsidiaries. The value of the collateral subject to these liens is limited to the lesser of 10% of the value of the assets of Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries and 10% of the value of all outstanding common stock of Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc. as of November 6, 2009 (the “10% Cap”). Pursuant to an Intercreditor Agreement entered into between Physicians, Mill Road and Wells Fargo in connection with the New Senior Credit Agreement and Note Agreement, the Senior Subordinated Note is subordinate in right of payment to the prior paying of all obligations under the New Senior Credit Agreement and the liens securing the obligations under the Note Agreement are junior and subordinate to the liens securing the obligations under the New Senior Credit Agreement (except for first liens on certain intellectual property).

Highlight of Business Operations:
Trade spending with retailers decreased by $1.9 million, or 19.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The largest driver relates to a decrease in our provision for markdowns of $1.3 million, which occurred due to the benefits of our SKU rationalization at year-end 2009. Our co-operative advertising also decreased by $935,000, driven in large part by the loss of sales to the customer which discontinued our products in 2009. These factors were partially offset by an increase in our provision for retail marketing of $229,000 and an increase in our provision for coupons of $127,000.Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.2 million, or 32.8%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
