BURLINGTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:BURL), a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel at everyday low prices, today announced its results for the second quarter and first six months ended August 2, 2014.

Tom Kingsbury, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are extremely pleased with our second quarter performance highlighted by a 4.7% increase in comparable store sales on top of last year’s very strong 7.8% increase. Our 70 basis point increase in Adjusted EBITDA rate was driven by both operating expense leveraging and gross margin expansion versus last year. We continue to believe that these results are indicative of the continued improvement in the execution of our off-price model. We believe we are well positioned for the fall season based on the level and currency of our inventory and remain focused on delivering great value, brands,store experience and fresh product to our customers every day. I would like to thank our store and corporate teams for contributing to these results.”

Note regarding Non-GAAP financial measures

The following discussion includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EPS. The Company believes these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance of the business and for comparing its results to that of other retailers. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure later in this document.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2014 Operating Results (for the 13 week period ended August 2, 2014compared with the 13 week period ended August 3, 2013):

• Comparable store sales increased 4.7%, which follows a comparable store sales increase of 7.8% in the 2013 second quarter driven by improved execution of the Company’s off-price business model.
• Net sales increased 8.3%, or $79.9 million, to $1,043.6 million. This increase includes the 4.7% increase in comparable store sales, as well as an increase of $36.3 million from new and non-comparable stores.
• Gross margin expanded by 50 basis points to 38.2% from 37.7% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013. This more than offset an approximate 40 basis point increase in product sourcing costs that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).
• SG&A, less product sourcing costs and advisory fees, as a percentage of net sales was 29.0% vs. 29.7% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 driven by improved leverage in store payroll, store expenses and other SG&A.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 23.8%, or $11.2 million, to $58.1 million. Sales growth, SG&A leverage and gross margin expansion led to a 70 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, as compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2013.
• Depreciation and amortization expense, exclusive of net favorable lease amortization, decreased $0.4 million to $34.0 million.
• Interest Expense decreased $7.8 million to $25.5 million from last year, driven by interest savings related to principal payments made over the last twelve months on the Company`s Holdco Notes and Term Loan.
• Adjusted tax benefit was $(0.6) million compared to $(7.2) million last year. The adjusted effective tax rate was 39.9% vs. 34.5% last year. The increase in the tax rate is the result of certain tax credits not legislatively approved and available in the current year and other one-time discrete items recorded in the prior year.
• Adjusted Net Loss was $(0.9) million vs. $(13.6) million last year, or $(0.01) per share vs. $(0.19) last year. Shares outstanding were 74.0 million vs. 72.9 million pro forma shares last year.

First Half Fiscal 2014 Operating Results (for the 26 week period ended August 2, 2014 compared with the 26 week period ended August 3, 2013):

• Comparable store sales increased 3.6% following a 5.5% increase in the first half of Fiscal 2013. This increase was driven by the improved execution of the Company’s off-price model.
• Net sales increased 7.1%, or $143.1 million, to $2,171.9 million. This increase includes the 3.6% increase in comparable store sales, as well as an increase of $76.6 million from new and non-comparable stores.
• Gross margin expanded by 60 basis points to 38.1% from 37.5% last year. This more than offset an approximate 30 basis point increase in product sourcing costs that are included in SG&A.
• SG&A, less product sourcing costs and advisory fees, as a percentage of net sales was 27.9% vs. 28.3% last year. The 40 basis point improvement was driven by increased leverage in store payroll, other store expenses, and other SG&A.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.9%, or $23.9 million, to $150.4 million. The 70 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales was driven by sales growth coupled with expense leverage and gross margin expansion.
• Depreciation and amortization expense, exclusive of net favorable lease amortization, decreased $0.9 million to $68.7 million.
• Interest Expense decreased $15.5 million to $52.1 million from last year, driven by interest savings related to principal payments over the last twelve months on the Company`s Holdco Notes and Term Loan. In addition, the Company realized savings as a result of the 2013 Term Loan refinancing.
• Adjusted tax expense was $12.0 million compared to a tax benefit of $(3.1) million last year. The adjusted effective tax rate was 40.3% vs. 29.6% last year. The increase in the tax rate is the result of certain tax credits not legislatively approved and available in the current year and other one-time discrete items recorded in the prior year.
• Adjusted Net Income was $17.7 million versus an Adjusted Net Loss of $(7.4) million last year, or $0.23 per diluted share vs. $(0.10) last year. Diluted shares outstanding were 75.6 million vs. pro forma basic shares outstanding of 72.6 million last year.

Inventory:

• Merchandise Inventories were $711.5 million vs. $748.3 million at August 3, 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by a comparable store inventory decrease of 18% as a part of the ongoing initiative to reduce inventory levels, increase inventory turnover and ultimately drive incremental sales through continually improved product offerings. This decrease was partially offset by a $41 million increase in pack and hold purchases and inventory related to the opening of 20 net new stores since August 3, 2012.

Fiscal Year Q3 and Full Year 2014 Outlook

The Company is introducing its third quarter guidance and raising its full year fiscal year 2014 outlook based on its better than expected sales and net income performance during the first half of the year and its expectations for the balance of the year, including a reduction of interest expense associated with the debt refinancing completed on August 13, 2014.

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 (the 13 weeks ending November 1, 2014), the Company expects:

• Net sales to increase in the range of 6.4% to 7.4%;
• Comparable store sales to increase in the range of 3.0% to 4.0%;
• Interest expense to approximate $17 million reflecting the debt refinancing completed on August 13, 2014;
• Adjusted Net Income per diluted share in the range of $0.09 to $0.12 on 75.8 million diluted shares outstanding. This compares to an adjusted loss per pro forma share of $(0.05) in the third quarter of Fiscal 2013; and
• To open 17 new stores and close one existing store resulting in a total store count of 539 at the end of the third quarter.

For the full Fiscal Year 2014, (the 52-weeks ending January 31, 2015), the Company currently expects:

• Total sales to increase in the range of 6.5% to 7.2% versus its previous expectation of an increase in the range of 5.8% to 6.8% and comparable store sales for the full year to be approximately 3%, at the high end of its previous guidance. These estimates include a comparable store sales increase of 2% to 3% in the fourth quarter consistent with previous guidance;
• Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the range of 20 to 30 basis points, as compared to previous guidance of 10 to 20 basis points;

• Interest expense of approximately $85 million;
• A tax rate of approximately 40%;
• Fully Diluted Adjusted Net Income in the range of $1.52 to $1.58 per share, utilizing a fully diluted share count of 75.7 million shares. This compares to the Company’s previous expectation for fully diluted adjusted net income in the range of $1.25 to $1.35; and
• To have opened 24 new stores and closed two existing stores resulting in a total store count of 543 at the end of the year.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share and Adjusted EBITDA

The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment, stock option modification expense, advisory fees and costs related to debt amendments, secondary offering and other), all of which are considered Non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as consolidated net income (loss) for the period plus (i) net favorable lease amortization, (ii) costs related to debt amendments, secondary offering and other, (iii) loss on the extinguishment of debt, (iv) impairment charges, (v) advisory fees and (vi) stock option modification expense, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from operating income are useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.

The Company believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share and Adjusted EBITDA provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable. The adjustments to these metrics are not in accordance with regulations adopted by the SEC that apply to periodic reports presented under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share and Adjusted EBITDA may be presented differently in filings made with the SEC than as presented in this report or not presented at all.

The following table shows the Company’s reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the six and three months ended August 2, 2014 compared with the six and three months ended August 3, 2013:

(a) Net favorable lease amortization represents the non-cash amortization expense associated with favorable and unfavorable leases that were recorded as a result of purchase accounting related to the acquisition of BCFWC on April 13, 2006 by affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC (along with its associated investment funds, or any successor to its investment management business, Bain Capital) in a take private transaction, and are recorded in the line item “Depreciation and Amortization” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
