MINNEAPOLIS – February 16, 2016 – 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 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Net sales grew 13.5% to $71.9 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared with $63.3 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014. The $8.6 million increase in net sales was due to a comparable store sales increase of 9.8%, or $6.2 million in the quarter and incremental net sales of $2.4 million from stores not included in the comparable store base.

 

“We are pleased to report another very strong quarter that capped a great year for The Tile Shop,” said Chris Homeister, CEO.  “The progress made across all of our key initiatives in 2015 was substantial, and the momentum of that progress continued throughout the fourth quarter. We are particularly pleased with the combination of sales and gross margin levels achieved at the conclusion of 2015. We are eager to build upon the success of 2015 as we work to deliver another year of significant growth in sales, operating margins and earnings per share in 2016.”

 

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 70.4% compared with 69.5% for the fourth quarter of 2014. The gross margin rate in 2015 was driven primarily by inventory control process improvements and improved margin on customer delivery revenue. Full year gross margin for fiscal 2015 was 69.5% compared with 69.6% for fiscal 2014.

 

Selling, general and administrative costs for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $43.7 million compared with $40.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The $3.5 million increase was primarily driven by the costs associated with opening and operating new stores and variable expenses associated with revenue growth. Full year selling, general and administrative costs for fiscal 2015 were $174.4 million compared with $157.3 million for fiscal 2014.

 

The Company opened three new stores in the fourth quarter of 2015, including the fifth Dallas, TX area store located in The Colony, TX, a third Cincinnati, OH area store and a second store in San Antonio, TX. As of December 31, 2015 the Company operates 114 stores in 31 states.

 

Full year net sales for fiscal 2015 were $293.0 million compared with $257.2 million for fiscal 2014, representing growth of 13.9%. Comparable store sales for the full year ended December 31, 2015 increased 7.4%.

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 special charges including litigation and investigation costs and the write-off of debt issuance costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Non-GAAP net income excludes special charges that include litigation and investigation costs and the write-off of debt issuance 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.

 

 

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This press release includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “plan”, “outlook”, and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters.

Forward looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward looking statements, including but not limited to unforeseen events that may affect the retail market or the performance of the Company’s stores. The Company does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
