BURLINGTON, New Jersey; August 29, 2019Burlington 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 ended August 3, 2019.

Tom Kingsbury, CEO, stated, “We are very pleased with our second quarter results, driven by our 3.8% comparable store sales increase and 10.5% overall sales growth, which resulted in a 19% increase in Adjusted EPS, well ahead of our guidance. In addition, based on our disciplined inventory management, our comparable store inventory decreased 7%, putting us in a very good position to take advantage of the abundant values available in the marketplace. I would like to thank our store, supply chain and corporate teams for contributing to these strong results.”

Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter Operating Results (for the 13 week period ended August 3, 2019 compared with the 13 week period ended August 4, 2018)

 

 

Total sales increased 10.5% to $1,656 million, while comparable store sales increased 3.8%. New and non-comparable stores contributed an incremental $115 million in sales during the quarter.  

 

Gross margin rate was flat vs. last year at 41.4%. Merchandise margin increased 30 basis points, which was offset by a 30 basis point increase in freight costs. Product sourcing costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), were 10 basis points lower as a percentage of sales vs. the Fiscal 2018 second quarter. Product sourcing costs include the costs of processing goods through our supply chain and buying costs.

 

SG&A increased $53 million to $532 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, primarily due to store related costs associated with our new and non-comparable stores. As a result of our adoption of the new Lease Accounting Standard, favorable lease costs, initially recorded as a result of purchase accounting that occurred in 2006, is now included in SG&A. In prior periods, these costs were included in depreciation and amortization.

 

Adjusted SG&A, defined as SG&A less product sourcing costs and favorable lease costs, as a percentage of sales decreased 30 basis points to 26.6%. This decrease was driven by leverage on fixed

1

 


 

expenses due to strong sales growth, as well as disciplined expense management and profit improvement initiatives.

 

Other Income and Revenue decreased by $3 million, or 20 basis points, driven primarily by $2 million in insurance gains recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2018.  

 

The effective tax rate increased 110 basis points to 11.6%.  The Adjusted Effective Tax Rate was 12.8% vs. last year’s Adjusted Effective Tax Rate of 17.1%, excluding the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities resulting from changes to New Jersey state tax law.

 

Net income increased 19% to $85 million, or $1.26 per share vs. $1.03 last year, and Adjusted Net Income increased 16% to $91 million, or $1.36 per share, vs. $1.15 last year. This increase in Adjusted Net Income was driven primarily by higher sales growth, as well as leverage on fixed expenses, disciplined expense management and profit improvement initiatives.

 

 

Fully diluted shares outstanding amounted to 67.3 million at the end of the quarter compared with 68.8 million at the end of last year’s second quarter. The decrease was primarily the result of share repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase program, discussed in more detail below. From the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2018 through the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company has repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased 12%, or $18 million higher than last year’s second quarter. The 10 basis point increase in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by higher sales and leverage on fixed expenses, due to disciplined expense management and profit improvement initiatives, which was offset partially by lower other income and revenue. Adjusted EBIT increased 13%, or $13 million above the prior year period, to $118 million.

First Six Months Fiscal 2019 Results

 

Total sales increased 8.9%, which included a comparable store sales increase of 1.9% over the first six months of Fiscal 2018, on top of last year’s 3.8% comparable store sales increase.  Net income increased 6% over the prior year period to $162 million, or $2.40 per share vs. $2.23 last year. Adjusted EBIT increased by 5%, or $11 million above last year, to $236 million, representing a 30 basis point decrease as a percentage of sales vs. the prior year period.  Adjusted Net Income of $177 million was up 7% vs. last year, while Adjusted EPS was $2.62 vs. $2.41 in the prior year period.  

Inventory

 

Merchandise inventories were $824 million vs. $844 million last year. The decrease was due primarily to a 7% decrease in comparable store inventory at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2019.  Pack and hold inventory was 29% of total inventory at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2019 compared to 26% at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2018.

Share Repurchase Activity

 

During the second quarter, the Company invested $51 million of cash to repurchase 300,742 shares of its common stock. As of the end of the second quarter, the Company had $124 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.  In addition, we are pleased to announce that the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $400 million of common stock, which is authorized to be executed through August 2021.

Full Year Fiscal 2019 and Third Quarter 2019 Outlook

 

For Fiscal 2019 (the 52-weeks ending February 1, 2020), the Company now expects:

 

Total sales to increase in the range of 8.8% to 9.3%; this assumes comparable store sales to increase in the range of 2% to 3% for the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2019, resulting in a full year comparable store sales increase of 2.0% to 2.5% on top of the 3.2% increase during Fiscal 2018;

 

Depreciation and amortization, exclusive of favorable lease costs, to be approximately $210 million;

 

Adjusted EBIT margin to be flat to up 10 basis points vs last year;

 

Interest expense of approximately $52 million;

 

An effective tax rate of approximately 20 to 21%;

 

To open 50 net new stores, and invest Net Capital Expenditures of approximately $310 million; and

 

Based on second quarter results, Adjusted EPS in the range of $7.14 to $7.22, utilizing an updated fully diluted share count of approximately 67.3 million, as compared to Fiscal 2018 net income per share of $6.04 and Fiscal 2018 Adjusted EPS of $6.44. This outlook excludes an expected $0.05 per share impact of management transition costs.

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2019 (the 13 weeks ending November 2, 2019), the Company expects:

 

Total sales to increase in the range of 8.5% to 9.5%;

 

Comparable store sales to increase 2% to 3%;

 

An effective tax rate of approximately 20 to 21%; and

 

Adjusted EPS in the range of $1.37 to $1.41, which assumes a fully diluted share count of approximately 67.1 million, as compared to Fiscal 2018 third quarter net income per share of $1.12 and Fiscal 2018 third quarter Adjusted EPS of $1.21. This outlook excludes an expected $0.02 per share impact of management transition costs.

The Company has not presented a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures set out above to their most comparable GAAP financial measures because it would require the Company to create estimated ranges on a GAAP basis, which would entail unreasonable effort. Adjustments required to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty but may include, among others, costs related to debt amendments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and impairment charges, as well as the tax effect of such items. Some or all of those adjustments could be significant.

 

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The foregoing discussion of the Company’s operating results includes references to Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (or Adjusted EPS), Adjusted EBIT (or Operating Margin), and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The Company believes these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance of the business and for comparing its historical 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 

The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, 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 is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items if applicable: (i) net favorable lease costs; (ii) costs related to debt amendments; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) impairment charges; and (v) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) income tax expense; (v) depreciation and amortization; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) costs related to debt amendments; and (viii) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Margin) is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) income tax expense; (v) impairment charges; (vi) net favorable lease costs; (vii) costs related to debt amendments; and (viii) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A less product sourcing costs and favorable lease costs.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as the GAAP effective tax rate less the tax effect of the reconciling items to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (footnote (e) in the table below).

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company’s 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 what the Company considers to be its core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures 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.

Net favorable lease costs represents the non-cash amortization expense associated with favorable and unfavorable leases that were recorded as a result of purchase accounting related to the April 13, 2006 Bain Capital acquisition of Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation. As a result of adoption of ASC 2016-02, these expenses are recorded in the line item “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six months ended August 3, 2019. These expenses are recorded in the line item “Depreciation and amortization” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended August 4, 2018, the three months ended November 3, 2018 and the twelve months ended February 2, 2019.

(b)

For the three and six months ended August 3, 2019, amounts relate to the reversal of previously estimated costs related to the repricing of our Term Loan Facility in Fiscal 2018. For the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 and the twelve months ended February 2, 2019, amounts relate to costs incurred in connection with the review and execution of refinancing opportunities.

Amounts relate to the refinancing of our Term Loan Facility, the $150.0 million prepayment on our Term Loan Facility, as well as the amendment to our ABL Credit Agreement.

(d)

Represents impairment charges on long-lived assets

(e)

Tax effect is calculated based on the effective tax rates (before discrete items) for the respective periods for the tax impact of items (a) through (d).

(f)

Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding starts with basic shares outstanding and adds back any potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding is equal to basic shares outstanding if the Company is in an Adjusted Net Loss position.

(g)

Includes $9.1 million and $19.6 million of favorable lease costs included in the line item “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six months ended August 4, 2019.
