Mark Butler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We had another strong quarter and are pleased with the continued momentum of the business. Once again, the strength was not just in one area, but across the entire business. Sales, margins, new store performance, expense control, deal flow and Ollie’s Army were all strong in the quarter. We are delivering ‘Real Brands! Real Bargains!’ and better access to merchandise is leading to even greater deals for our customers. This is making our stores more of a destination for our existing customers and we believe we are attracting new customers every day.”

Mr. Butler continued, “Ollie’s Bargain Outlet ‘THE BIRTHPLACE OF BARGAINS!’ is a leader in the closeout industry today and we continue to develop direct relationships with consumer product companies and source more products directly from major manufacturers. We feel very good about the current outlook and trends across our business. In 2016, we will look to implement Phase 2 of our customer Loyalty Management System, which should give us the ability to begin testing customized communication with Ollie’s Army members late in the year. We will also look to continue executing the other plans we laid out during our IPO, which includes opening new stores in contiguous and existing states, strengthening our relationships with vendors, gaining better access to product, leveraging our second distribution center, investing back into the business, paying down debt and generating strong returns for our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Net sales increased 21.3% to $243.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $200.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in net sales was driven by a 5.0% increase in comparable store sales and a 15.3% increase in store count over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company opened three stores in the fourth quarter and ended fiscal 2015 with 203 stores compared to 176 stores at the end of fiscal 2014.

Gross profit increased 24.6% to $98.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $79.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and gross margin increased 110 basis points to 40.6% from 39.5% in the same respective periods. The gross margin increase was driven by a higher merchandise margin and a decrease in transportation and distribution costs as a percent to net sales.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 18.5% to $62.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $52.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. As a percent of net sales, SG&A decreased 60 basis points to 25.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily the result of increases in selling expenses related to new store growth and increased sales volume. The increased selling expenses consisted primarily of store payroll and benefits, store occupancy costs, and other store related expenses.

Pre-opening expenses related to new store growth increased 49.9% to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase was related to timing differences in the new store openings.

Operating income increased 38.1% to $33.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $24.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. As a percent of net sales, operating income increased 170 basis points to 13.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

Net income increased 33.8% to $16.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $12.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Excluding the loss on extinguishment of debt, adjusted net income (1) increased 56.4% to $18.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $12.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 37.0% to $38.2 million, or 15.7% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $27.9 million, or 13.9% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, pre-opening expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, and non-cash purchase accounting items.

Pre-opening expenses related to new store growth increased 29.1% to $6.3 million in fiscal 2015 from $4.9 million in fiscal 2014. The increase was related to opening 28 stores in fiscal 2015 compared to 22 stores in fiscal 2014.

Operating income increased 26.7% to $79.6 million in fiscal 2015 from $62.8 million in fiscal 2014. As a percent of net sales, operating income increased 60 basis points to 10.4% in fiscal 2015.

Net income increased 33.2% to $35.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in fiscal 2015, compared to $26.9 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in fiscal 2014. Excluding adjustments to transaction related expenses and the loss on extinguishment of debt, net of taxes, adjusted net income (1) increased 47.1% to $40.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in fiscal 2015 from $27.3 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in fiscal 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 25.0% to $100.4 million, or 13.2% of net sales, in fiscal 2015 from $80.3 million, or 12.6% of net sales, in fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, pre-opening expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, non-cash purchase accounting items, and transaction related expenses.

The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures of net income and diluted net income per share, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share give effect, net of tax, to transaction related expenses, and the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the pay down of our debt with the proceeds received from the initial public offering and debt refinancing.
