2nd Quarter Sales Successful Music Merchandising Up For Musicland; Net Loss Surges BY DON JEFFREY

NEW YORK-Musicland Stores re- ports that second -quarter sales rose 21.5% on the strength of new super- stores. But the net loss more than tri- pled. For the three months that ended June 30, Minneapolis -based Musicland says revenues increased to $331.7 mil- lion from $273.1 million in the same pe- riod a year ago. The net loss widened to $7.5 million from $22 million last year because of higher operating costs and interest ex- penses, and lower same -store sales in the mall stores. Sales from Media Play and On Cue superstores operating at least one year rose 19.1% from the same quarter last year. Overall superstore sales in- creased 172% to $93.1 million. Same -store sales for mall concepts Sam Goody, Musicland, and Suncoast Motion Picture Co. declined 3.4%. Overall mall sales were down 0.6% to $235 million. Musicland operated 1,422 stores at the end of the quarter: 846 Sam Goodys and Musiclands, 387 Suncoasts, 64 Me- dia Plays, 109 On Cues, 15 U.K. music stores, and one Readwell's bookstore. During the quarter the company opened 13 Media Plays, 17 On Cues, four Suncoasts, and one Sam Goody. It closed 10 music stores. Jack Eugster, chairman/CEO, says, "Our 1995 strategies-to expand Media Play, to restructure mall music stores through increased gross margin and ex- pense reductions, and to leverage over- head expenses against rising sales- helped us achieve expected perform- Music For A Song Mercer, PA CD department ance in the second quarter and first half.
