HARRISBURG, PA – June 1, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLLI) (“Ollie’s” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2016.

First Quarter Summary:

 

    Total net sales increased 19.2% to $193.7 million;

 

    Comparable store sales increased 6.0%;

 

    The Company opened five new stores and ended the quarter with a total of 208 stores in 18 states, an increase of 14.9% year over year;

 

    Operating income increased 35.5% to $21.0 million;

 

    Net income increased 76.4% to $11.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share;

 

    Adjusted net income(1) increased 84.5% to $12.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share; and

 

    Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 37.6% to $27.1 million.

Mark Butler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We had another strong quarter and are pleased with the continuing trends in our business. Once again, our results were strong across the board and we continue to execute against our key strategic initiatives of opening stores, building vendor relationships, gaining better access to product, and leveraging our distribution and transportation costs. In the first quarter, we entered our 18th state of operation with the opening of our first store in Florida. We believe Florida will be another strong market for Ollie’s and look forward to opening additional stores in the state this fiscal year.”

Mr. Butler continued, “Looking forward, we feel good about our deal flow and our product pipeline remains strong. Our growing size, scale and visibility in the marketplace is giving us better access to merchandise, expanding our vendor base, and building stronger direct relationships. This is allowing our buyers to be even more selective and offer our customers even better bargains on great quality branded merchandise every time they shop our stores. Real Brands! Real Bargains!, that’s what our customers expect from Ollie’s and that’s what we will continue to deliver.”

First Quarter Results

Net sales increased 19.2% to $193.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $162.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in net sales was driven by a 6.0% increase in comparable store sales and a 14.9% increase in store count over the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company opened five stores in the first quarter and ended the quarter with 208 stores compared to 181 stores at the end of first quarter in fiscal 2015.

 

1


Gross profit increased 23.4% to $79.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $64.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and gross margin increased 140 basis points to 40.8% from 39.4% in the same respective periods. The gross margin increase was driven primarily by lower transportation and distribution costs as a percent to sales and a higher merchandise margin.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 19.5% to $54.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $45.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Included in SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2016 were $890,000 of transaction related expenses primarily in connection with the Company’s secondary stock offering on February 18, 2016. Including the transaction related expenses, SG&A increased 10 basis points to 28.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 28.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding the $890,000 of transaction related expenses, SG&A expenses increased 17.5% to $53.9 million and as a percent of net sales decreased 40 basis points to 27.8%. Other than the transaction related expenses, the increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by increased 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 stores were $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase was related to timing differences in the new store openings.

Operating income increased 35.5% to $21.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $15.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. As a percent of net sales, operating income increased 130 basis points to 10.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Excluding the $890,000 of transaction related expenses, Adjusted operating income(1) increased 41.2% to $21.9 million, or 11.3% of net sales, an increase of 180 basis points.

Net income increased 76.4% to $11.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $6.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding the transaction related expenses, adjusted net income (1) increased 84.5% to $12.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $6.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 37.6% to $27.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $19.7 million, or 12.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, pre-opening expenses, non-cash purchase accounting items and transaction related expenses.

 

(1) Adjusted operating income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per diluted share are not measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please see the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP tables included later in this release.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company’s cash balance as of the end of first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $37.1 million compared to $4.1 million at the end of first quarter fiscal 2015. The Company had no borrowings and $98.4 million of availability under its $100.0 million revolving credit facility at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company ended the first quarter of fiscal 2016 with total debt of $198.8 million compared to $320.6 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Inventory at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 7.7% to $206.4 million compared to $191.6 million at the end the first quarter of fiscal 2015, due primarily to new store growth.
