THE TILE SHOP REPORTS THIRD Quarter 2023 RESULTS

 

MINNEAPOLIS – November 2, 2023 – Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTSH) (the “Company”), a specialty retailer of natural stone, man-made and luxury vinyl tiles, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

Third Quarter Summary

 

Net Sales Decreased 5.2% 

Comparable Store Sales Decreased 4.9% 

Gross Margin of 64.7% 

Net Income of $1.8 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.3 Million 

Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.04 

Reduced Long-Term Debt by $10.0 Million in the Third Quarter and $35.4 Million Year-to-Date

 

Management Commentary – Cabell Lolmaugh, CEO

 

“We again displayed the cash flow power of our model as we reduced our debt levels by $10 million during the third quarter of 2023 and by over 75% since the beginning of the year. This was made possible by the steps we’ve taken to effectively drive our business and reduce inventory levels despite facing tough macro-economic conditions. Rising interest rates and lower housing turnover challenge our industry and we believe these factors contributed to lower levels of traffic and comparable store sales in our business during the third quarter. While we anticipate the macro headwinds will persist in the near term, we remain confident in the steps we’re taking to position the Company for long-term success.”

(1)As compared to the prior year period.

(2)The comparable store sales operating metric 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 calculation. Comparable store sales includes total charges to customers less any actual returns. The Company includes the change in allowance for anticipated sales returns applicable to comparable stores in the comparable store sales calculation.

 

THIRD QUARTER 2023

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $5.0 million, or 5.2%, compared with the third quarter of 2022. Sales decreased at comparable stores by 4.9% during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in traffic, which was partially offset by an increase in average ticket value.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit decreased $5.0 million, or 7.8%, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022. The gross margin rate was 64.7% in the third quarter of 2023, which increased sequentially from 64.2% during the second quarter of 2023, but was below the 66.5% margin rate reported during the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in the gross margin rate when compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to inflationary cost pressures which resulted in an increase in the cost of products sold as compared to last year. These cost increases were partially offset by an increase in our average selling prices.

  

   

 

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million, or 4.0%, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was due to a $1.7 million decrease in variable selling expenses, a $1.1 million decrease in depreciation expense and a $1.0 million decrease in transportation expenses. These decreases were partially offset by the one-time lease exit benefit of $0.8 million that was recognized in the third quarter of 2022 and not repeated in 2023 and a $0.7 million increase in marketing expenses.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022 was $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income tax was due to a decrease in pretax income. Our effective tax rate was 22.4% and 26.3% in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is largely due to tax benefits associated with employee equity award vestings.

 

Capital Structure and Liquidity

 

Since the beginning of the year, we have repaid $35.4 million of borrowings on our line of credit, which reduced our debt balance to $10.0 million as of September 30, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents increased sequentially from the second quarter of 2023 by $1.8 million and since the beginning of the year by $10.4 million to $16.4 million on September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company uses several non-GAAP financial measures to manage its business including Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and pretax Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company calculates ROCE by taking income (loss) from operations divided by capital employed. Capital employed equals total assets less accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liability and other long-term liabilities. Other companies may calculate both Adjusted EBITDA and ROCE 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.

 

The Company’s 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.
