THE TILE SHOP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS;

RAISES FULL YEAR OUTLOOK

 

13.2% Comparable Store Sales Growth

70.5% Gross Margin

63.4% Operating Income Growth

22.8% Adjusted EBITDA Margin and 31.3% Adjusted EBITDA Growth

Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.13, growth of 85.7%

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.14, growth of 75.0%

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS – April 19, 2016 – Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTS) (the “Company”), a specialty retailer of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

 

Net sales grew 16.1% to $84.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared with $73.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. The $11.7 million increase in net sales was due to a comparable store sales increase of 13.2%, or $9.6 million in the quarter and incremental net sales of $2.1 million from stores not included in the comparable store base.

 

“We are very pleased to report a tremendous start to 2016” said Chris Homeister, CEO.  “Our continued efforts against our key initiatives concluded with another quarter of very strong results and significant momentum for our business. The continuing strength of our business has led us to increase our full year outlook for 2016. We are eager to build upon our first quarter accomplishments as we seek to deliver significant growth in sales, operating margins and earnings per share throughout the remainder of 2016 and beyond.”

 

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2016 was 70.5% compared with 69.9% for the first quarter of 2015. The increased gross margin rate was driven primarily by improved margin on customer delivery revenue and inventory control process improvements.

 

Selling, general and administrative costs for the first quarter of 2016 were $47.9 million compared with $43.8 million for the first quarter of 2015. The $4.1 million increase was primarily driven by variable expenses associated with revenue growth and the costs associated with opening and operating new stores.

 

The Company opened one new store in the first quarter of 2016 in Buford, GA, the Company’s third store in the Atlanta, GA market. The Company noted it also opened its sixth store in the greater Philadelphia, PA market in Deptford, NJ on April 16, 2016. As of today, the Company operates 116 stores in 31 states.

 

Non-GAAP Information

 

The Company presents non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA to provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s normalized operating performance.

 

 
 

 

 

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $7.2 million compared with $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2016 were $0.14 compared with $0.08 for the first quarter of 2015, representing 75.0% growth.

We believe that these 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 these non-GAAP measures 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. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe 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 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 limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our 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. 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.

 

 

 

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 (including the financial performance of new stores). 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.

(1) In the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board involving the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under the new standard, debt issuance costs are to be presented on the entity's balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability. The Company applied the guidance on a retrospective basis; therefore, the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet has been updated to conform to the March 31, 2016 presentation. As a result, $0.4 million of debt issuance costs (previously reported in Other current assets, net and Deferred taxes and other assets, net) were reclassified to Other accrued liabilities and Long-term debt, net in the December 31, 2015 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
