COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Container Store Group, Inc. (NYSE: TCS) (the “Company”), today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 ended June 29, 2019.
-
Consolidated net sales were $209.5 million, up 7.0%. Net sales in The Container Store retail business (“TCS”) were $195.1 million, up 8.3%. Elfa International AB (“Elfa”) third-party net sales were $14.4 million, down 8.3% due to foreign currency translation.
-
Comparable store sales increased 7.8%, with Custom Closets up 11.1%, contributing 500 basis points of the increase in comparable store sales, and all other product categories up 5.1% contributing the remaining 280 basis points.
-
Consolidated net loss and net loss per share (“EPS”) was $4.1 million and ($0.08) compared to a net loss of $6.8 million and ($0.14), respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted net loss per share (“Adjusted EPS”) was ($0.08) compared to ($0.08) in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 (see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table).
“We are very pleased with our strong start to fiscal 2019, as our reinvigorated marketing campaigns and refreshed merchandise assortment across our core Custom Closets business and other product categories, resonated with customers both in store and online. Our entire organization is more agile today, allowing us to quickly react to marketing opportunities, leverage social influencers, as well as capitalize on the heightened awareness and interest in the category of Storage and Organization overall. Combining our agility with our merchandising strategies that include a comprehensive Custom Closets offering, freshness and newness across all product categories, and our unique solutions-based selling approach, we believe we are well positioned for the remainder of the fiscal year and beyond. We are also making good progress against each of our key fiscal 2019 priorities, including increasing our Custom Closets brand awareness and opening our second distribution center in late fiscal 2019, that is currently on time and on budget.”
First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results
For the first quarter (thirteen weeks) ended June 29, 2019:
-
Consolidated net sales were $209.5 million, up 7.0% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Net sales at TCS were $195.1 million, up 8.3%, driven by an increase in comparable store sales of 7.8%, combined with incremental sales from new stores. Elfa third-party net sales were $14.4 million, down 8.3% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, due to the negative impact of foreign currency translation during the quarter.
-
Consolidated gross margin was 57.2%, a decrease of 140 basis points, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to a higher mix of lower margin products and services sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. TCS gross margin decreased 50 basis points to 57.4%, primarily due to successful marketing and merchandising campaigns that drove a higher mix of campaign driven sales. The decrease was partially offset by improvement in foreign currency translation. Elfa gross margin declined 100 basis points primarily due to higher direct materials costs attributable to higher raw material prices and a weaker Swedish krona.
-
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by 2.3% to $109.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 from $106.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 240 basis points. This was primarily due to Optimization Plan expenses incurred in the prior year that were not incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and ongoing savings and efficiency efforts. These decreases were partially offset by increased Custom Closets marketing expenses and costs associated with the second distribution center.
-
Consolidated net interest expense decreased 27.8% to $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 from $7.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In September 2018, the Company amended its Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, which decreased the applicable interest rate margins.
-
The effective tax rate was 30.5%, as compared to 34.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the remeasurement of deferred tax balances in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as a result of a change in the Swedish tax rate.
-
Net loss was $4.1 million, or ($0.08) per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to a net loss of $6.8 million, or ($0.14) per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted net loss was $4.1 million, or ($0.08) per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to adjusted net loss of $4.0 million, or ($0.08) per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 (see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table).
-
Adjusted EBITDA (see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table) was $10.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to planned incremental Custom Closets marketing expense and expenses associated with the opening of a second distribution center that were incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per common share - diluted, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in a table accompanying this release. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and they should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP measures are key metrics used by management, the Company’s board of directors, and Leonard Green and Partners, L.P., its controlling stockholder, to assess its financial performance.
The Company presents adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per common share - diluted, and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they assist investors in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance and because the Company believes it is useful for investors to see the measures that management uses to evaluate the Company. These non-GAAP measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using non-GAAP measures supplementally. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
The Company defines adjusted net loss as net loss before restructuring charges, charges related to an Elfa manufacturing facility closure, impairment charges related to intangible assets, losses on extinguishment of debt, certain gains on disposal of assets, certain management transition costs incurred and benefits realized, charges incurred as part of the implementation of our Optimization Plan, and the tax impact of these adjustments and other unusual or infrequent tax items. We define adjusted net loss per common share - diluted as adjusted net loss divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We use adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per common share - diluted to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. We present adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per common share - diluted because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance and because we believe it is useful for investors to see the measures that management uses to evaluate the Company.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in accordance with its credit facilities and is one of the components for performance evaluation under its executive compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash and other items that the Company does not consider in its evaluation of ongoing operating performance from period to period as discussed further below. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in connection with covenant compliance and executive performance evaluations, and to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, to make budgeting decisions and to compare its performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. The Company believes it is useful for investors to see the measures that management uses to evaluate the Company, its executives and its covenant compliance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry.
The Company presents free cash flow, which the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus payments for property and equipment made in that period, because it believes it is a useful indicator of the Company’s overall liquidity, as the amount of free cash flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment, investment, and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. Accordingly, we believe that free cash flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our liquidity in the same manner as management. Our definition of free cash flow is limited in that it does not solely represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Although other companies report their free cash flow, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company’s free cash flow. As a result, the method used by our management to calculate our free cash flow may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their free cash flow.
