Lazydays Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Results.

Indicates strong growth in First Quarter 2020.

 

Tampa, FL (March 19, 2020) – Lazydays Holdings, Inc. (“Lazydays” or the “Company”) (NasdaqCM: LAZY) announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and provided some updates and highlights regarding the first quarter ending March 31, 2020.

 

2020 First Quarter Update and Highlights:

 

	●	With 85% of the first quarter completed, the Company has experienced a significant increase in demand across all of its dealerships.
	●	The Company expects unit volume, revenue and adjusted EBITDA to show strong double digit year-over-year growth in the quarter.
	●	The Company believes its focus on providing a best-in-class customer experience along with service excellence is allowing it to gain market share in all of its markets.
	●	The Company completed the integration of the recently acquired dealership at The Villages, Florida.
	●	On February 17, 2020, the Company announced the opening of its first dedicated service center in the Houston, Texas metro area. The order backlog and staffing levels are ramping according to plan.
	●	The Company secured property and permitting for its previously announced dealership near Nashville, Tennessee. This dealership is expected to open in late Q3 or early Q4 2020.

 

Fourth Quarter Financial Results and Highlights:

 

	●	Revenues for the fourth quarter were $144.9 million; up $19.1 million, or 15.1%, versus 2018. Revenue from sales of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) was $126.5 million for the fourth quarter, up $16.4 million, or 14.9%, versus 2018. RV unit sales excluding wholesale units, were 1,585 for the fourth quarter, up 251 units, or 18.8% versus 2018. New and preowned unit sales were $74.4 million and $52.1 million for the quarter, up 12.6% and 18.2% respectively compared to 2018.
	●	Gross profit, excluding last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) adjustments, was $30.1 million, up $2.8 million versus 2018. Gross margin excluding LIFO adjustments declined between the two periods, from 21.7% in 2018 to 20.8% in 2019. This margin decline was driven by competitive end of model year pricing reducing RV sales gross margins, as well as an increase in wholesale sales as a percentage of the sales mix. The Company believes that the pressure on margins was driven by competitors in the industry carrying aged, out of model year inventory aggressively pricing units to meet cash flow needs. Gross profit for the quarter including LIFO adjustments was $29.2 million; up $2.3 million, or 8.6%, versus 2018. This gross profit comparison was reduced $0.5 million reflecting a net difference in LIFO adjustments between the two periods.

 

 

	●	Excluding transaction costs, stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) for the fourth quarter was $26.3 million, up $4.6 million compared to the prior year. This increase is attributable to the additional overhead expenses contributed by the recently acquired location at The Villages, as well as a full quarter of overhead associated with the Tennessee location acquired in December 2018. The prior year comparable is also unfavorable because of an approximately $1.2 million net favorable impact in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to accruals for employee benefits and incentive compensation, and bad debt reserves. In addition, SG&A was impacted by a $0.4 million adjustment for impairment of rental units, as well as increased performance and incentive compensation and other personnel costs. Stock-based compensation decreased $1.7 million, and depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million compared to the prior year.
	●	Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $3.3 million for the fourth quarter, down $1.3 million compared to 2018. This was primarily driven by the decline in gross margins related to competitive pricing in the fourth quarter of 2019. EBITDA for the quarter would have remained about flat excluding the Q4 2018 $1.2 million favorable impact related to accruals for employee benefits and incentive compensation and bad debt reserves.
	●	As of December 31, 2019, cash was $31.5 million, down $2.0 million from September 30, 2019. The decrease in cash includes the impact of cash used to invest in growth initiatives including more than $9 million of fourth quarter 2019 funding toward greenfield start-ups near Houston, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee.

 

2019 Fiscal Year Financial Results and Highlights:

 

	●	Revenues for the fiscal year 2019 were $644.9 million; up $36.7 million, or 6.0%, versus 2018. Revenue from sales of recreational vehicles was $567.1 million for the year, up $29.0 million, or 5.4%, versus 2018. RV unit sales excluding wholesale units, were 7,591 for the year, up 295 units, or 4.0%, versus 2018.
	●	Gross profit, excluding LIFO adjustments, was $134.6 million, up $1.5 million versus 2018. Gross margin excluding LIFO adjustments declined between the two years, from 21.9% in 2018 to 20.9% in 2019. The margin decline was primarily driven by competitive end of model year pricing reducing RV sales gross margins, as well as increased wholesale sales as a percentage of total sales mix. The company believes that the pressure on margins experienced in 2019 was driven by competitors in the industry carrying aged, out of model year, inventory aggressively pricing units to meet cashflow needs. Gross profit for the year including LIFO adjustments was $132.2 million; up $0.5 million, or 0.4%, versus 2018. This gross profit improvement was impacted by a $1.0 million net difference in LIFO adjustments between the two periods.
	●	Excluding transaction costs, stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization, SG&A for the year was $103.5 million, up $6.7 million compared to the prior year. This increase is attributable to the additional overhead expenses contributed by the recently acquired location at The Villages, as well as the full year of overhead expenses associated with the Minnesota and Tennessee locations acquired during 2018. The prior year comparable is also unfavorable because of an approximately $1.2 million net favorable impact in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to accruals for employee benefits and incentive compensation, and bad debt reserves. In addition, 2019 SG&A was impacted by a $0.4 million adjustment for impairment of rental units taken in the fourth quarter. Stock-based compensation decreased $3.9 million and depreciation and amortization increased $1.4 million compared to the prior year.
	●	Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $27.9 million for the year, down $4.4 million compared to 2018. This was primarily driven by decreased gross margins, which were partially offset by an overall increase in revenue and units sold driven by locations acquired in 2018 and 2019. Adjusted EBITDA Margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.3% for the year, compared to 5.3% in 2018.
	●	As of December 31, 2019, cash was $31.5 million, up $4.9 million from December 31, 2018. The increase in cash was primarily driven by cash generated from operations, and includes the impact of cash used to invest in growth initiatives in 2019 including The Villages location acquisition and the internal funding of greenfield start-ups near Houston, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to enable us to analyze our performance and financial condition. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that they are useful measures of performance as they reflect certain operating drivers of the business, such as sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe that these supplemental measures are commonly used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight of the underlying operating results and trends and overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

Our use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to other companies within the industry due to different methods of calculation. We compensate for these limitations by using each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as only one of several measures for evaluating our business performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which impact depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense, are reviewed separately by management. We may incur expenses in the future that are the same or similar to some of those adjusted in this presentation.

 

EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income excluding depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, interest expense, net, amortization of intangible assets, and income tax expense.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income excluding depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, non-floor plan interest expense, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, transaction costs and other supplemental adjustments which for the periods presented includes LIFO adjustments, severance costs and other one time charges, impairment of rental units and gain on sale of property and equipment.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

 

Reconciliations from Net (loss) Income per the Consolidated Statements of Income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are shown in the tables below.
