Cabela's Q2 retail store revenues shoot-up 25.8%

The Cabela's CLUB Visa program had another solid quarter. During the quarter, growth in average active credit card accounts accelerated to 10.7% due to increases in new customers, primarily in the Retail and Internet channels. For the quarter, net charge-offs as a percentage of average credit card loans increased to 1.87% compared to 1.86% in the prior year quarter. Increased financial services revenue was driven by increases in interest and fee income as well as interchange income.

"Return on invested capital improved by 160 basis points over the same quarter a year ago," Millner said. "With our strong operational improvements, we are confident in our ability to generate even further improvements in return on invested capital."

"We are certainly pleased with our strong second quarter results and investments we have made to further build the future health of our Company," Millner said. "Our retail stores are performing at very high levels, and our Direct business is showing continued improvement. As a result, we are comfortable with the current external earnings estimates for the third and fourth quarter of 2013."
