FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

THE TILE SHOP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Net Sales Increased 19.4%

5.9% Comparable-Store Sales Growth

Company On Target To Open 13 Stores By Year End

 

PLYMOUTH, MN, November 1, 2012 – Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTS), a specialty retailer of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

  

Robert Rucker, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our financial results for the third quarter, our first as a public company, were driven by strong sales growth including a 5.9% same store sales increase along with the opening of one new store during the third quarter, putting the Company on target to reach its goal of 66 stores by the end of the year. We intend to fund our anticipated growth with internally generated cash flow. Our model of direct sourcing, exceptional customer service, strategically located stores and a proven distribution center model allows us to operate at high margins within this growing industry.”

 

Net sales increased 19.4% to $44.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared with $37.1 million for the comparable quarter last year. The increase in sales was partially driven by an increase in comparable-store sales growth of 5.9%, adding $2.2 million in net sales, and incremental net sales of $5.0 million from the opening of new stores.

 

For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was $11.2 million, compared to $9.3 million in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $1.9 million, or 19.9%. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales improved 0.1% to 25.3% from 25.2%. The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure.

 

   Three months ended   Nine months ended 
Adjusted EBITDA  September 30,   September 30, 
($ in thousands)  2012   2011   2012   2011 
Net income  $9,842   $6,602   $30,631   $24,687 
Interest expense   450    97    626    297 
Income taxes   (4,722)   153    (4,299)   579 
Depreciation and amortization   2,750    2,121    7,543    6,158 
Deferred compensation expense   2,624    374    3,898    966 
Stock-based compensation   263    —      263    —   
Adjusted EBITDA  $11,207   $9,347   $38,662   $32,687 

 

 
 

  

For the quarter, the Company opened one new store, bringing the total company-operated stores to 62 as of September 30, 2012, as compared with 53 stores at September 30, 2011.

 

On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter was $9.8 million, compared to $6.6 million in the comparable prior year period. GAAP earnings per diluted share totaled $0.27 for the quarter, compared to $0.21 for the same period of the prior year. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 included non-recurring deferred compensation expense of $2.6 million expense and a tax benefit of $5.3 million related to our merger with JWC Acquisition Corp. and the related conversion from a pass-through entity to a "C" corporation for tax purposes.

 

On a pro–forma basis, excluding the non-recurring deferred compensation expense of $2.6 million and including an adjustment for income taxes as if the Company had been a "C" corporation at the beginning of each period (at an assumed combined effective tax rate of 42%), net income for the quarter would have been $4.5 million, up from a pro-forma $4.1 million a year ago. Pro-forma diluted earnings per share increased 10% to $0.11 from $0.10, based on 42.6 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 net sales improved 18.6% to $136.5 million compared with $115.0 million for the comparable period last year. Comparable-store sales growth for the nine months was 5.5%.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased 18.3%, to $38.7 million, compared to $32.7 million in the same period of the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

 

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that this non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. This measure is used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

 

Our management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
