THE TILE SHOP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

 

13.6% Sales Growth

5.7% Comparable Store Sales Growth

18.5% Operating Income Growth

20.5% Adjusted EBITDA Margin, 16.0% Adjusted EBITDA Growth

Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.09, growth of 28.6%

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS – July 21, 2015 – 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, 2015.

 

Net sales grew 13.6% to $75.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared with $66.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. The $9.0 million increase in sales was due to incremental net sales of $5.3 million from stores not included in the comparable store base, while comparable store sales increased 5.7% or $3.8 million in the quarter.

 

“We are pleased to report a strong second quarter that continued to show positive returns on our key initiatives,” said Chris Homeister, CEO.  “Consistent with our first quarter, another sequential improvement in comparable store sales growth, sound expense control, working capital management, strong operating cash flow and continued improvement in key talent metrics all contributed to strong top and bottom line results in the second quarter.” 

 

Gross margin was 67.8% for the quarter compared with 69.8% for the second quarter of 2014. The decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to pricing tests conducted in certain markets during the quarter, higher mix of customer delivery sales and inventory transition activity. Management expects that the lower gross margin rate will be largely isolated to the second quarter. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 68.8%.

 

Selling, general and administrative costs for the second quarter were $42.9 million compared with $39.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. The majority of the $3.5 million increase was driven by the costs associated with opening and operating new stores, as second quarter ending store count increased from 98 to 110, a 12.2% increase from the prior year.

 

The Company opened one new store in the second quarter of 2015 in the existing market of Charlotte, located in Matthews, NC. The Company now has 110 locations in 31 states.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net sales grew 13.4% from $131.0 million in 2014 to $148.7 million in 2015. Comparable store sales for the six month period increased 5.1%.

The Company presents non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA to provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s normalized operating performance.

About Tile Shop Holdings and Tile Shop

 

The Tile Shop is a specialty retailer of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States. The Company offers a wide selection of high quality products, exclusive designs, knowledgeable staff and exceptional customer service, in an extensive showroom environment with more than 50 full-room tiled displays.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation and other special, non-recurring charges including investigation and litigation costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Non-GAAP net income excludes loss on extinguishment of debt and special, non-recurring charges including investigation and litigation costs, and is net of tax.

 

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 provides 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.
