Company Increases Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook

BURLINGTON, New Jersey; August 27, 2015 — Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE: BURL), a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel at everyday low prices, today announced its results for the second quarter and six months ended August 1, 2015.

Tom Kingsbury, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are extremely pleased with our second quarter performance highlighted by a 5.6% increase in comparable store sales on top of last year’s 4.7% increase. Our 100 basis point increase in Adjusted EBITDA rate was driven by both operating expense leveraging and gross margin expansion. We believe we are well positioned for the fall season and remain focused on delivering great value, highly desirable brands, an improved store experience, and fresh product to our customers every day. I would like to thank our store and corporate teams for contributing to these results.”

Mr. Kingsbury continued,” During the quarter we initiated our first share repurchase of 450,000 shares of common stock.  We are excited to be able to simultaneously: reinvest in our stated growth strategies, de-lever based on our increased EBITDA performance, and return capital to our shareholders.”

 

Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Operating Results (for the 13 week period ended August 1, 2015 compared with the 13 week period ended August 2, 2014):

 

o

Comparable store sales increased 5.6%, which follows a comparable store sales increase of 4.7% in the Fiscal 2014 second quarter driven by improved execution of the Company’s off-price business model.    

o

Net sales increased 9.6%, or $100.6 million, to $1,144.2 million.  This increase includes the 5.6% increase in comparable store sales, as well as an increase of $46.7 million from new and non-comparable stores.

o

Gross margin expanded by 100 basis points to 39.2% from 38.2% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014.  This more than offset an approximate 50 basis point increase in product sourcing costs that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).  

o

SG&A, less product sourcing costs and advisory fees, as a percentage of net sales was 28.4%, which represented a 60 basis point improvement from 29.0% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014.  This improvement was driven by improved leverage in store payroll and occupancy.  

o

Adjusted EBITDA increased 29.8%, or $17.3 million, to $75.4 million. Sales growth, SG&A leverage and gross margin expansion led to a 100 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.  


o

Depreciation and amortization expense, exclusive of net favorable lease amortization, increased $1.7 million to $35.8 million.

o

Interest Expense decreased $10.9 million to $14.6 million from last year, driven by interest savings realized as a result of the 2014 term loan refinancing as well as savings related to principal payments made over the last twelve months on the Company`s term loan credit facility.

o

Adjusted tax expense was $10.2 million compared with an adjusted tax benefit of $0.6 million last year.  The adjusted effective tax rate was 40.8% vs. 39.9% last year.  The increase in the effective tax rate was the result of a one-time discrete item recorded during the quarter, offset partially by state credits available to the Company for its new corporate headquarters in Fiscal 2015.

o

Adjusted Net Income was $14.9 million vs. a loss of $(0.9) million last year, or $0.19 per share vs. $(0.01) last year. Fully diluted shares outstanding were 76.5 million at the end of the quarter compared with 74.0 million basic shares outstanding last year.

Fiscal 2015 First Half Operating Results (for the 26 week period ended August 1, 2015 compared with the 26 week period ended August 2, 2014):

 

o

Comparable store sales increased 3.1% following a 3.6% increase in the first half of Fiscal 2014. This increase was driven by the improved execution of the Company’s off-price model.    

o

Net sales increased 7.2%, or $155.4 million, to $2,327.3 million.  This increase includes the 3.1% increase in comparable store sales, as well as an increase of $95.9 million from new and non-comparable stores.

o

Gross margin expanded by 140 basis points to 39.5% from 38.1%.  This more than offset an approximate 60 basis point increase in product sourcing costs that are included in SG&A.  

o

SG&A, less product sourcing costs and advisory fees, as a percentage of net sales was 27.8% vs. 27.9% last year.  The 10 basis point improvement was driven by increased leverage in store payroll and occupancy.

o

Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.6%, or $26.4 million, to $176.8 million. The 70 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales was driven by sales growth coupled with expense leverage and gross margin expansion.

o

Depreciation and amortization expense, exclusive of net favorable lease amortization, increased $3.2 million to $71.9 million.

o

Interest Expense decreased $22.7 million to $29.4 million from last year, driven by interest savings realized as a result of the 2014 term loan refinancing as well as savings related to principal payments over the last twelve months on the Company`s Holdco Notes (which were redeemed in full in August 2014) and term loan credit facility.

o

Adjusted tax expense was $29.5 million compared with $12.0 million last year.  The adjusted effective tax rate was 39.0% vs. 40.3% last year.  The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily driven by state credits available to the Company for its new corporate headquarters in Fiscal 2015.

o

Adjusted Net Income was $46.1 million versus $17.7 million last year, or $0.60 per diluted share vs. $0.23 last year.  Diluted shares outstanding were 76.5 million vs. 75.6 million shares last year.



Inventory:

 

o

Merchandise Inventories were $802 million vs. $712 million at the end of the second quarter last year. This includes an increase in pack and hold inventory of $55 million vs. last year. Pack and hold inventory represented 28% of inventory at quarter end versus 22% last year. Comparable store inventory decreased 7% compared with the end of the second quarter last year.

 

Share Repurchase Activity

 

o

During the second quarter, the Company spent $25 million in cash to repurchase 450,000 shares of its common stock ending the period with $175 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization.

 

Fiscal 2015 Q3 and Increased Full Year 2015 Outlook

 

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2015 (the 13 weeks ending October 31, 2015), the Company expects:

 

o

Net sales to increase in the range of 6% to 7%;

o

Comparable store sales to increase in the range of 2% to 3%;

o

Adjusted Net Income per share in the range of $0.20 to $0.23, utilizing a fully diluted share count of approximately 76.3 million shares. This compares with an adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.16 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014; and

o

To open 22 new stores and close 1 existing store resulting in a total store count of 567 at the end of the third quarter.

 

For the full Fiscal Year 2015 (the 52-weeks ending January 30, 2016), the Company currently expects:

 

o

Net sales to increase in the range of 6.5% to 7%;

o

Comparable store sales to increase between 2.5% to 3%;

o

Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 30 to 40 basis points;

o

Interest expense of approximately $61 million;

o

Tax rate to approximate 39%;

o

Adjusted Net Income per Share in the range of $2.27 to $2.32, utilizing a fully diluted share count of approximately 76.4 million shares.  This compares with an Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $1.83 in Fiscal 2014;

o

To open 25 net new stores.

 

Note regarding Non-GAAP financial measures

 

The foregoing discussion includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Tax Expense (Benefit), Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share.  The Company believes these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance of the business and for comparing its results to that of other retailers.  These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure later in this document.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in millions except per share data)

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Tax Expense (Benefit)

The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, taxes, costs related to debt amendments, secondary offerings and other, depreciation, amortization and impairment, stock option modification expense, advisory fees and other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses or charges) and Adjusted Tax Expense (Benefit) (income tax expense (benefit) less the tax effect of the reconciling items to get to Adjusted Net Income (footnote (g) in the table below)), all of which are considered Non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) for the period plus (i) net favorable lease amortization, (ii) costs related to debt amendments, secondary offerings and other, (iii) loss on the extinguishment of debt, (iv) impairment charges, (v) advisory fees, (vi) stock option modification expense and (vii) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses or charges, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Tax Expense (Benefit) because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from operating income are useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.

The Company believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Tax Expense (Benefit) provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable. The adjustments to these metrics are not in accordance with regulations adopted by the SEC that apply to periodic reports presented under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Tax Expense (Benefit) may be presented differently in filings made with the SEC than as presented in this report or not presented at all.

(c)

Represents expenses incurred as a result of our May 2013 stock option modification.

(d)

For Fiscal 2015, amounts relate to the April 2015 prepayment on our Term Loan Facility. For Fiscal 2014, amounts relate to the April 2014 partial redemption of our Holdco Notes and excess cash flow payment of our Term Loan Facility.

(e)

(g)

Tax effect is calculated based on the effective tax rates (before discrete items) for the respective periods, adjusted for the tax effect for the tax impact of items (a) through (f).

(h)

Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding starts with basic shares outstanding and adds back any potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding is equal to basic shares outstanding if the Company is an Adjusted Net Loss position.
