Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. Announces

Fiscal 2015 Third Quarter Financial Results

HARRISBURG, PA – December 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLLI) (“Ollie’s” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2015.

Third Quarter Summary:

 

    Total net sales increased 16.4% to $174.6 million;

 

    Comparable store sales increased 3.2%;

 

    The Company opened 13 new stores, ending the quarter with 200 stores in 17 states. This represents an increase of 15.6% in total number of stores from the third quarter of fiscal 2014;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.2% to $20.0 million (adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); see reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP table);

 

    Operating income increased 10.4% to $13.9 million. Excluding pre-opening expenses to eliminate the impact of opening 13 new stores during the current period compared to six store openings in the same period last year, operating income increased 18.6% to $16.3 million (see reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP table) and;

 

    Net income increased 39.4% to $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.

Mark Butler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We had another strong quarter and are pleased with our results. Once again, the increase in comparable store sales was across the majority of our merchandise categories and all of our geographic regions. With the business continuing to grow and the improved visibility from the IPO, we have seen better access to merchandise. This is allowing our buying team to be more selective in their purchases and we can offer our customers even greater value every time they step into one of our stores. We believe our merchandise selection has led to increased traffic, ticket, and merchandise margin, therefore driving our top and bottom lines.”

Third Quarter Results

Net sales increased 16.4% to $174.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $150.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in net sales was driven by a 3.2% increase in comparable store sales and a 15.6% increase in store count over the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal 2015 with 200 stores compared to 173 stores at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Gross profit increased 17.3% to $69.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $59.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and gross margin increased 33 basis points to 40.1% from 39.7% in the same respective periods. The increase in gross margin was principally due to an increase in merchandise margin, partially offset by increased transportation and distribution costs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 17.5% to $51.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $44.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily the result of increases in selling expenses of $6.0 million related to new store growth. The increased selling expenses consisted primarily of store payroll and benefits, store occupancy costs, and other store related expenses. The remaining increase in SG&A was primarily driven by higher general and administrative expenses related to the Company’s overall sales growth and expenses related to being a public company. As a percent of sales, SG&A increased 30 basis points to 29.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

Pre-opening expenses related to new store growth increased 110.2% to $2.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $1.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase was related to opening 13 stores in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to six stores in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.2% to $20.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $16.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, pre-opening expenses and non-cash purchase accounting items. For a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, please see the non-GAAP tables included later in this press release.

Operating income increased 10.4% to $13.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $12.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Excluding pre-opening expenses, operating income increased 18.6% to $16.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $13.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Net income increased 39.4% to $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $4.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company’s cash balance at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $4.0 million compared to $3.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company had $103.4 million available to borrow under its $125.0 million revolving credit facility as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company ended the quarter with total debt of $232.0 million compared to $347.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 14.4% to $212.6 million versus $185.8 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, due primarily to new store growth.

Capital expenditures for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 totaled $4.9 million compared to $2.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. A significant portion of the increase in capital expenditures for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was due to 13 store openings during the period compared to six store openings for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase of seven store openings.

    Adjusted EBITDA to increase approximately 19% to $95 million, or 13% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, pre-opening expenses, non-cash purchase accounting items, and transaction related expenses;

 

    Operating income to increase approximately 19% to $75 million, or 10% of net sales;

 

    Net income to increase approximately 30% to $35 million, or 4.5% of net sales;
