SEARS HOLDINGS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - Sears Holdings Corporation (“Holdings,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHLD) today reported its first quarter 2013 results. In summary, we reported:
Net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $279 million, or $2.63 loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $189 million, or $1.78 earnings per diluted share, in the prior year quarter;
Adjusted EBITDA of $(8) million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $160 million in the prior year quarter;
Adjusted loss per diluted share for the quarter of $1.29 and $0.51 in 2013 and 2012, respectively;
Domestic comparable store sales declined 3.6% in the first quarter of 2013, as much of the country experienced a cooler spring than last year. Sears Canada's comparable store sales declined 2.6% in the quarter;
Our online business on sears.com and kmart.com grew 20% over the prior year first quarter;
SHOP YOUR WAY members generated over 60% of our revenues at Sears Domestic and Kmart;
Gross margin rate decreased 220 basis points for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year first quarter; and
Continued discipline of our investment in inventory with Domestic inventory declining $903 million from the prior year first quarter. Excluding the inventory related to the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses, Domestic inventory declined approximately $500 million.
“Our recent financial performance has not been acceptable, although we have seen some positive momentum as sales per member increased and our online business grew 20% in the quarter,” said Eddie Lampert, Sears Holdings' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we have accelerated our activity to transform Sears Holdings into a leading Integrated Retailer that fosters relationships with members through our SHOP YOUR WAY platform. We launched new mobile capabilities, like Member Assist, which allows our members to communicate directly with our consultative store sales staff remotely in a manner most convenient for our members. We believe that if we leverage technology to provide our members with the easiest, most seamless shopping experience possible, we will be successful.”
First Quarter Revenues and Comparable Store Sales
Revenues decreased $818 million to $8.5 billion for the quarter ended May 4, 2013, as compared to revenues of $9.3 billion for the quarter ended April 28, 2012. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the effect of having fewer Kmart and Sears Full-line stores in operation, lower comparable store sales and the separation of the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses which occurred in the third quarter of 2012. We recorded revenues from Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (“SHO”) of approximately $430 million, primarily related to merchandise sold to SHO for resale, in the first quarter of 2013. The prior year quarter included revenues of approximately $620 million related to the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses' merchandise sales to its customers. Domestic store closures accounted for approximately $375 million of the decrease from the prior year quarter. First quarter revenues also included a decrease of $19 million due to foreign currency exchange rates.
For the quarter, domestic comparable store sales declined 3.6%, comprised of decreases of 4.6% at Kmart and 2.4% at Sears Domestic. The decline at Kmart reflects decreases in most categories, with the largest declines occurring in our highly competitive transactional categories such as grocery & household, pharmacy and drugstore.

1



The decline at Sears Domestic of 2.4% predominately was driven by weather related declines in the lawn & garden category. Excluding lawn & garden, comparable store sales would have increased 0.3%. This slight increase was due to increases in the apparel and home categories, which were partially offset by declines in the consumer electronics and tools categories. The Sears Domestic apparel category has achieved comparable store sales increases for seven consecutive quarters.
Operating Performance
For the quarter, our gross margin decreased $411 million to $2.2 billion in 2013 due to the above noted decline in sales as well as a decline in gross margin rate for the quarter. Gross margin included expense of $8 million in the first quarter of 2013 related to store closings while the first quarter of 2012 included gross margin of $159 million from the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses. Excluding these items, gross margin decreased $244 million.
As compared to the prior year, Kmart's gross margin rate for the first quarter declined 220 basis points primarily due to decreases in the apparel and grocery & household categories, resulting from increased clearance markdowns and timing of vendor allowances, respectively. Sears Domestic's gross margin rate declined 250 basis points for the quarter primarily due to selling merchandise to SHO at cost pursuant to the terms of the separation, which accounted for approximately 160 basis points of the decline. We also experienced a decrease in the automotive category due to increased commodity costs. Sears Canada's gross margin rate declined 90 basis points for the first quarter due to an increase in inventory reserve requirements.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $227 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year quarter and included expenses related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance of $46 million and $75 million for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The first quarter of 2012 also included selling and administrative expenses of $122 million related to the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses. Excluding these items, selling and administrative expenses declined $76 million due to decreases in payroll and advertising expenses.
We reported an operating loss of $247 million for the first quarter of 2013 which compares to operating income of $315 million for the first quarter of 2012. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2013 included expenses related to domestic pension plans, store closings, store impairments and severance, which aggregated to $63 million. Operating income for the first quarter of 2012 included expenses related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance, as well as gains on sales of assets and operating income from the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses which aggregated to operating income of $346 million. Excluding these items, we would have had an operating loss of $184 million and $31 million in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. See the attached schedule, “Adjusted Earnings per Share,” for a reconciliation from GAAP to as adjusted amounts, including adjusted earnings per diluted share.
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was a benefit of 3.0% compared with an expense rate of 25.7% in 2012. Our tax rate continues to reflect the effect of not recognizing the benefit of current period losses in certain domestic jurisdictions where it is not more likely than not that such benefits would be realized. In addition, the first quarter of 2013 benefited from favorable audit settlements.
Our fiscal 2013 first quarter was comprised of the 13-week period ended May 4, 2013, while our fiscal 2012 first quarter was comprised of the 13-week period ended April 28, 2012. This one week shift in sales had no impact on the domestic comparable store sales results reported herein due to the fact that for purposes of reporting domestic comparable store sales for the first quarter, weeks one through 13 for fiscal 2013 have been compared to weeks two through 14 of fiscal year 2012, thereby eliminating the impact of the one week shift.
Financial Position
“Last November, we announced that we would be considering actions to raise at least $500 million of additional liquidity in 2013,” said Rob Schriesheim, Sears Holdings' Chief Financial Officer. “As one of a number of options available to us, we are currently in the process of evaluating strategic alternatives for our Protection Agreement business, including a possible sale, joint venture or recapitalization of the business, or some combination of these alternatives. These alternatives could, if successful, create additional liquidity, in excess of our minimum target of $500 million, but there is of course no assurance that we will complete any transaction relating to the Protection Agreement business in 2013. Regardless of the outcome of this process, Protection Agreements are and will continue to be an integral part of our value proposition for our members, particularly in our Home Appliance

2



business. Sears of course will continue to service all existing agreements as well as continue to sell and service protection agreements going forward."
We had cash balances of $481 million at May 4, 2013 ($378 million domestic and $103 million at Sears Canada) as compared to $618 million ($380 million domestic and $238 million at Sears Canada) at February 2, 2013. The decrease in cash during the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to higher working capital needs at Sears Canada.
Merchandise inventories at May 4, 2013 were $7.9 billion, as compared to $8.8 billion at April 28, 2012. Domestic inventory decreased $903 million to $7.1 billion at May 4, 2013. Excluding the inventory related to the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses, domestic inventory decreased approximately $500 million from the prior year's first quarter driven by both improved productivity and store closures. Sears Domestic inventory decreased in virtually all categories, with the most notable decreases in the tools, consumer electronics and apparel categories. Kmart inventory also decreased in virtually all categories with the most notable decreases in the consumer electronics, grocery & household, drugstore and apparel categories.
Total debt (consisting of short-term borrowings, long-term debt and capital lease obligations) was $3.8 billion at May 4, 2013, compared to $3.1 billion at February 2, 2013. The increase in borrowings funded the quarterly operations, including the loss for the period, seasonal inventory build, pension contributions and capital expenditures. Availability under our credit facilities was $1.8 billion ($1.2 billion domestic and $0.6 billion at Sears Canada, prior to taking into consideration possible reserves) at May 4, 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as net income (loss) attributable to Sears Holdings Corporation appearing on the statements of operations excluding income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax (expense) benefit, interest expense, interest and investment income, depreciation and amortization and gain on sales of assets. In addition, it is adjusted to exclude certain significant items as set forth below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses, as well as executive compensation metrics, for comparable periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items. While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance because:
EBITDA excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation costs;
Management considers gains/(losses) on the sale of assets to result from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and
Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of results, including the results of the Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses that were included in our results of operations prior to the separation.
