THE TILE SHOP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

 

14.7% Sales Growth —

Comparable Store Sales Growth of 0.3% —

Store Count Reaches 100 —

2014 EPS Guidance Updated —

 

July 28, 2014 – Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTS) (the “Company”), a specialty retailer of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

Net sales grew 14.7% to $66.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared with $58.1 million for the second quarter of 2013. The $8.6 million increase in sales was driven by incremental net sales of $8.4 million from stores not included in the comparable stores base. Comparable store sales increased 0.3% or $0.2 million in the quarter. Sales results at both new and existing stores were adversely impacted by significant changes in the economic environment as compared to the prior year.

 

“Our stores delivered a slight increase in comparable store sales in the second quarter over the very strong levels achieved last year, despite a challenging environment.  Our two year comparable store sales growth for the quarter was 15%, which we believe continues to demonstrate that we are taking share in our industry and further validates the overall strength of The Tile Shop model”  stated Robert Rucker, Chief Executive Officer. “As recently noted across many retail segments, it has become clear that certain macroeconomic factors that supported strong sales levels throughout much of 2013 have substantially weakened in 2014, most notably for our business, existing home sales. Our expectation when the year began was that similar trends from 2013 would continue during 2014, but this has not proven to be the case.”

 

“Our sales and operating teams executed well during a quarter that was difficult for the industry, delivering 70% gross margin and both a sequential and year-over-year decline in inventory levels, two key operational accomplishments for the business” noted Chris Homeister, Chief Operating Officer.

 

The Company opened five new stores in the second quarter, all of which were in new markets (Westminster, Colorado; Tempe, Arizona; Austin, Texas; Fort Wayne, Indiana and Columbia, South Carolina). With the opening of the Mentor, Ohio and Colonie, New York stores in July, the Company now has 100 locations in 30 states.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net sales grew 14.0% from $115.0 million in 2013 to $131.0 million in 2014. Comparable store sales for the six month period declined 1.0% due to adverse macroeconomic factors and the extremely harsh winter weather experienced in our primary geographic markets during the first quarter of 2014. For the six month period, the two year increase in same store sales was 11%.

 

Non-GAAP Information

 

The Company presents non-GAAP net income to provide information to investors regarding the Company’s normal operating performance. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the quarter was $4.0 million, compared to $6.5 million in the comparable prior year period. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 were $0.08, based on 51.3 million weighted average shares outstanding, respectively. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 were $0.12 per share, based on 53.3 million weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company presents non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA to provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s normal operating performance. Non-GAAP net income excludes non-cash change in fair value of warrants and other items including shareholder litigation, special investigation and equity related transaction costs, net of tax.

 

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash change in fair value of warrants, stock based compensation and other items including shareholder litigation, special investigation and equity related transaction costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

 

We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Our management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
