Net income decreased 28.8% to $49.9 million and net income per diluted share decreased 29.0% to $0.76 due to a prior year income tax benefit as a result of federal tax law changes enacted in fiscal 2017.

Mark Butler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We delivered yet another fantastic quarter and we are proud of our record top- and bottom-line results for both the fourth quarter and the year.  Strong sales growth, increased gross margin and tight expense controls helped drive a 42% increase in adjusted net income in the quarter. This was our 19th consecutive quarter of positive comparable store sales, fueled by an outstanding performance in our toy category.  New stores performed above expectations as well, and we believe the success of our new stores across geographies and markets is proof that our founding principle of selling ‘Good Stuff Cheap’ continues to resonate.  In 2019, we plan to open 42 to 44 new stores, including our first stores in Oklahoma and Massachusetts.”

Mr. Butler added, “Our focus remains on our proven business model and the execution of our strategic initiatives, including the opening of our new distribution center in 2020, which further positions us to capitalize on the long runway of growth ahead. Based on our confidence in the business, consistently strong cash flow generation and ongoing commitment to driving shareholder value, we are excited to announce our first ever share repurchase program.”

Fiscal Year Summary:


·
Total net sales increased 15.3% to $1.241 billion. Excluding the impact of the 53rd week, net sales increased 17.1%.


·
Comparable store sales increased 4.2% on top of a 3.3% increase in the prior year.


·
Operating income increased 19.4% to $162.1 million and operating margin increased 50 basis points to 13.1%.


·
Net income increased 5.8% to $135.0 million and net income per diluted share increased 4.6% to $2.05.


·
Adjusted net income(1) increased 48.6% to $120.5 million and adjusted net income per diluted share(1) increased 46.4% to $1.83.


·
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 18.2% to $183.7 million and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 40 basis points to 14.8%.

As used throughout this release, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Share Repurchase Authorization

On March 26, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The shares to be repurchased may be purchased from time to time in open market conditions (including blocks or in privately negotiated transactions).   The timing of repurchases and the actual amount purchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s shares, general market, economic, and business conditions, and other corporate considerations.  Repurchases may be made pursuant to plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which could allow the Company to purchase its shares during periods when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods.  Repurchases are expected to be funded from cash on hand or through the utilization of the Company’s revolving credit facility.  The repurchase authorization does not require the purchase of a specific number of shares, has a two-year term, and is subject to suspension or termination by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

Fourth Quarter Results

Net sales increased 10.4% to $393.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from $356.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of the 53rd week, net sales increased 15.8%.  The increase in net sales was driven by a 13.1% increase in the number of stores and a 5.4% increase in comparable store sales.

Gross profit increased 11.6% to $156.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from $140.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Gross margin increased 40 basis points to 39.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from 39.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in gross margin is due to an increased merchandise margin, partially offset by higher supply chain costs as a percentage of net sales.

Net income totaled $49.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to net income of $70.1 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.  Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 included a $0.50 benefit related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”).  Additionally, diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 included a benefit of $0.04 and $0.07, respectively, due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.  Adjusted net income(1), which excludes these benefits and the after-tax loss on extinguishment of debt, increased 41.9% to $47.0 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from $33.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 14.4% to $67.7 million, or 17.2% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from $59.2 million, or 16.6% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and non-cash purchase accounting items.

Fiscal 2018 Results

Net sales increased 15.3% to $1.241 billion in fiscal 2018 from $1.077 billion in fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of the 53rd week, net sales increased 17.1%.  The increase in net sales was driven by a 13.1% increase in store count and a 4.2% increase in comparable store sales.  The Company opened 37 stores, including the relocation of one store, and closed two stores during fiscal 2018, ending the year with 303 stores.

Gross profit increased 15.3% to $497.7 million in fiscal 2018 from $431.6 million in fiscal 2017.  Gross margin was consistent with the prior year at 40.1% as an increase in merchandise margin was offset by a corresponding increase in supply chain costs as a percentage of net sales.

Operating income increased 19.4% to $162.1 million in fiscal 2018 from $135.8 million in fiscal 2017. Operating margin increased 50 basis points to 13.1% in fiscal 2018 from 12.6% in fiscal 2017.

Net income increased to $135.0 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018 from $127.6 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, in fiscal 2017.  Diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2017 included a $0.50 benefit related to the 2017 Tax Act.  Additionally, diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 each included a $0.22 benefit due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.  Adjusted net income(1), which excludes these benefits and the after-tax loss on extinguishment of debt, increased 48.6% to $120.5 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018 from $81.1 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, in fiscal 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA (1) increased 18.2% to $183.7 million, or 14.8% of net sales, in fiscal 2018 from $155.4 million, or 14.4% of net sales, in fiscal 2017.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company's cash balance as of the end of fiscal 2018 was $51.9 million compared to $39.2 million as of the end of 2017.  The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $100 million revolving credit facility and $98.9 million of availability under the facility as of the end of fiscal 2018. The Company paid down all of its $48.8 million term loan debt during fiscal 2018 and ended the year with total borrowings, consisting solely of capital lease obligations, of $0.7 million compared to total borrowings of $49.2 million as of the end of fiscal 2017.

Inventory as of the end of fiscal 2018 increased 16.2% to $296.4 million compared to $255.2 million as of the end of fiscal 2017, primarily due to new store growth and timing of deal flow.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 2018 increased to $74.2 million compared to $19.3 million in fiscal 2017, primarily reflecting the Company’s purchase of 12 former Toys “R” Us store sites, new store growth and investments in the Company’s third distribution center.

Fiscal 2019 Outlook

The Company estimates the following for fiscal 2019:


·
Total net sales of $1.436 billion to $1.449 billion;


·
Comparable store sales growth of 1.0% to 2.0%;


·
The opening of 42 to 44 new stores, with no planned relocations or closures;


·
Operating income of $189.0 million to $193.0 million;


·
Adjusted net income(2) of $140.0 million to $144.0 million and adjusted net income per diluted share(2) of $2.10 to $2.15, both of which exclude excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation;


·
An effective tax rate of 25.5%, which excludes excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation;


·
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 66.8 million; and


·
Capital expenditures of $75.0 million to $80.0 million, primarily for the construction of and equipment for the Company’s new distribution center, new stores, IT projects and store-level initiatives.

(2)
The guidance ranges as provided for adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as the Company cannot predict such estimates without unreasonable effort.

Supplemental Information

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in thousands)

(Unaudited)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP.  We have included the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share in this press release as these are key measures used by our management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions.  Management believes it is useful to investors and analysts to evaluate these non-GAAP measures on the same basis as management uses to evaluate the Company’s operating results. We believe that excluding items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude from net income and net income per diluted share, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.

The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP financial measures: net income to adjusted net income, net income per diluted share to adjusted net income per diluted share, and net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share give effect to the after-tax loss on extinguishment of debt, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and tax benefits related to the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act, which may not occur with the same frequency or magnitude in future periods. We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization expenses and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for the non-cash items of stock-based compensation expense and certain purchase accounting items.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.
