RELEASE

Burlington Stores, Inc. Announces Operating Results for the Third Quarter and Year-To-Date Period Ended November 2, 2013

 

    For the third quarter and year-to-date periods:

 

    Comparable store sales increased 3.9% and 5.0%

 

    Total Net Sales increased 10.0% and 9.9%

 

    Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.3%, or $13.8 million, and 33.6%, or $47.6 million

BURLINGTON, New Jersey; December 10, 2013—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 third quarter and year-to-date ended November 2, 2013.

Tom Kingsbury, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are pleased to be reporting strong results in our first quarter as a public company, following the successful completion of our initial public offering in October. We are continuing to improve our execution, as we delivered a 28.3% increase in Adjusted EBITDA, a 10.0% overall sales growth and a 3.9% comparable store sales increase. I would like to thank our store and corporate teams for contributing to these results. We remain focused on the on-going transformation of the Burlington model to be a leading destination for customers searching for on-trend, branded merchandise at a great value. In addition, we are focused on executing our growth drivers of improving comparable store sales, expanding our retail store base and enhancing our operating margins in the future.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Operating Results

Total net sales increased 10.0% to $1,064.5 million in the third quarter compared with last year. This increase was primarily attributable to a $53.2 million increase in sales related to new stores and stores previously opened that are not included in our comparable store sales, and a $37.0 million, or 3.9%, increase in comparable store sales.

Gross margin rate increased by 40 basis points to 39.0% in the third quarter compared with the prior year, driven by improved merchandise margin.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales improved to 34.1% during the third quarter from 34.6% last year. The improvement was primarily related to the leverage benefit of our 3.9% comparable store sales increase during the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter increased 28.3%, or $13.8 million, to $62.5 million compared with $48.7 million last year, representing an 80 basis point improvement in Adjusted


EBITDA margin rate for the quarter. The increase in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA was driven by our 10.0% total sales increase and improvements in both gross margin rate and SG&A leveraging.

Adjusted Net Loss increased $1.6 million during the third quarter to a loss of $3.3 million. Pro Forma Adjusted Net Loss per share increased to ($0.05) during the third quarter, compared to ($0.02) last year. This increase was driven by a reduction of our income tax benefit of $6.5 million and increased interest expense of $5.3 million, partially offset by our operating results as discussed above.

Year to Date Fiscal 2013 Operating Results

Comparable store sales increased 5.0% and total net sales increased 9.9% to $3,093.2 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2013 compared with last year.

Gross margin increased by 50 basis points to 38.0% compared with last year, driven by improved merchandise margin.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales improved to 32.9% from 33.6% last year. The improvement was primarily related to the leverage benefit of our 5.0% comparable store sales increase.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 33.6%, or $47.6 million, to $188.9 million compared with last year, representing a 110 basis point improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin rate for the year to date period. The increase in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA was driven by our 9.9% total sales increase and improvements in both gross margin rate and SG&A leveraging.

Adjusted Net Loss was $10.8 million, compared to a loss of $22.8 million last year. Pro Forma Adjusted Net Loss per share improved to ($0.15) during the first nine months of Fiscal 2013, compared to ($0.32) last year. The improvement is reflective of our sales and margin gains.

While our overall inventory balance increased $57.4 million to $902.4 million at November 2, 2013, our comparative store inventory decreased 5.6%. The overall increase in our inventory balance was primarily driven by 23 net new stores opened since October 27, 2012 as well as increased pack and hold inventory.

Outlook

 

    Fourth quarter Comp Store Sales to be between 2% - 3%

 

    Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin rate to be 30-40 basis points better than last year

 

    Net interest expense for the full year to be approximately $128 million

 

    Full year effective tax rate for Adjusted Net Income to be approximately 41%

 

    Pro forma fully diluted shares for Fiscal 2013 to be approximately 74.8 million

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA

The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Pro Forma 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 and initial public offering), 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, (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.

Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the pro forma weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Pro Forma 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, respectively, and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.

The Company believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Pro Forma 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), Pro Forma 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.
