Management Commentary – Cabell Lolmaugh, CEO
“During the quarter, we continued to experience lower traffic resulting in comparable sales performance that was flat sequentially from the first quarter of 2019. We are disappointed that our investments over the last twelve months have not yet generated the level of return we expected. We believe the primary opportunity in the near term is to drive higher awareness of our core value propositions with prospective retail customers. We remain confident in the investments made to date and our core strategy to deliver the best product assortment, best presentation and best service.”

(1) As compared to the prior year period.
(2) Comparable store sales decline is the percentage change in sales of comparable stores period over period. A store is considered comparable on the first day of the 13th full month of operation. When a store is relocated, it is excluded from the comparable store sales decline calculation. Comparable store sales decline amounts include total charges to customers less any actual returns. Comparable store sales data reported by other companies may be prepared on a different basis and therefore may not be useful for purposes of comparing the Company’s results to those of other businesses.
SECOND QUARTER 2019
Net Sales
Net sales decreased $4.0 million, or 4.3%, from $92.9 million in the second quarter of 2018 to $88.9 million in the second quarter of 2019. Comparable store sales decreased $3.8 million, or 4.2%, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to lower customer traffic. Net sales generated by stores not included in the comparable store base decreased $0.2 million.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $4.0 million, or 6.1%, from $65.3 million in the second quarter of 2018 to $61.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. The gross margin rate was 69.0% for the second quarter of 2019 and 70.3% for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in the gross margin rate was primarily due to increased shrink expense and damaged inventory recognized upon completion of physical inventory counts at all stores and distribution centers during the second quarter of 2019.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 4.7%, from $57.9 million in the second quarter of 2018 to $60.6 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to $1.1 million of investments in store and distribution center compensation, regional sales leadership and pro market managers, which reflect a full-quarter of activity in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to only a partial quarter in second quarter of 2018. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2019 also included approximately $1.3 million of expense related to our new enterprise resource planning system which went live on January 1, 2019.
Inventory
Inventory decreased 3.1% to $106.7 million from $110.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt increased $10.0 million from $53.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to $63.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase reflects additional amounts drawn on the line of credit to fund share repurchases.
SHARE REPURCHASE
The Company repurchased 2.3 million shares for $10.5 million during the second quarter of 2019. The Board of Directors had previously authorized a $15.0 million share repurchase program, to commence on May 2, 2019, and $4.5 million remains available under this program.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share. The dividend is payable August 9, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 29, 2019.
NON-GAAP INFORMATION
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2019 was $9.8 million compared with $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. See the table below for a reconciliation of GAAP net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company calculates Pretax Return on Capital Employed by taking income from operations divided by capital employed. Capital employed equals total assets less accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, deferred rent, lease liability and other long-term liabilities. Other companies may calculate both Adjusted EBITDA and Pretax Return on Capital Employed differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Company performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, for budgeting and planning purposes, and for assessing the effectiveness of capital allocation over time. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and the Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Company management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “plan”, “outlook”, and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward looking statements include any statements regarding the Company’s strategic and operational plan and expected financial performance. Forward looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward looking statements, including but not limited to unforeseen events that may affect the retail market or the performance of the Company’s stores. The Company does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances. Investors are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by the Company.
