STAMFORD, Conn., December 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Lovesac Company (Nasdaq:LOVE) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, which ended on November 4, 2018.

 

Shawn Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We had an exceptional third quarter and are very pleased with our financial results. We believe that our highly differentiated product and disruptive direct-to-consumer business model are resonating with both new and existing customers alike as we continue to lean into our marketing strategy. We made good progress on our strategic priorities in the third quarter including expanding marketing, investing in infrastructure and capabilities, increasing and improving showroom presence, extending brand reach with shop-in-shops and driving higher levels of social media engagement.”

 

Mr. Nelson continued, “We continue to see significant growth opportunity for our innovative brand given the $31 billion total addressable market. Looking ahead, we plan to continue to execute on our key strategic priorities including a strong focus on marketing and investing in infrastructure to grow brand awareness, gain meaningful market share and establish a solid foundation for long term growth.”

 

For the Thirteen Weeks Ended November 4, 2018

 

Net sales increased 70.9% to $41.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from $24.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase was driven by strong showroom, Internet and shop-in-shop performance as a result of an increase in new customers combined with an increase in the total number of units sold and continued accelerated investments in marketing to increase brand awareness. Comparable sales, which includes showroom and Internet sales, increased 51.0%. Comparable showroom sales increased 40.5% and Internet sales increased 93.9%.

 

The Company opened five new showrooms and remodeled one showroom in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and ended the quarter with 77 showrooms in 30 states. This represents a unit increase of 20% over the same quarter in the prior year.

 

Gross profit dollars increased 67.5% to $22.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from $13.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Gross margin decreased by 110 basis points to 54.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from 56.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 due primarily to a channel mix shift toward shop-in-shop locations and growth in Sactional products, both of which carry a lower margin.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million, or 59.8%, to $19.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 4, 2018 compared to $12.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2017. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to an increase in employment costs of $0.7 million, $1.1 million of increased rent associated with our net addition of 11 showrooms, $3.7 million of expenses related to the increase in sales such as credit card fees, utility and repairs expenses, web affiliate program and web platform hosting commissions and shop in shop sales agent fees, $0.7 million increase in overhead expense to support overhead initiatives and public company expenses, $0.5 million of stock based compensation and $0.2 million of expenses related to capital raises. As a percent to sales, total SG&A expense decreased by 320 basis points.

Marketing expense increased 84.6%, or $2.4 million, to $5.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from $2.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in marketing costs relates to increased media, to include national media and direct to consumer programs which drive revenue beyond the period of the expense.

 

Operating loss was $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to an operating loss of $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding non-recurring items of $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, operating loss was $2.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018

 

Net loss and net loss attributable to common shares was $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. There was approximately $400K of preferred dividends and deemed dividends in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This is compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or net loss attributable to common shares of $2.6 million including preferred dividends and deemed dividends in the third quarter in fiscal 2018. Adjusted net loss, which excludes the impact of non-recurring expenses, was ($2.0) million in both the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and the third quarter of fiscal 2018 (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”). Net loss per share, including preferred dividends and deemed dividends, was ($0.22) in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to a loss of ($0.43) in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted net loss per common share, which is calculated by dividing adjusted net loss by adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming the IPO related issuances occurred at the beginning of each period presented, was ($0.15) in both the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and the third quarter of fiscal 2018 (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).

 

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was ($1.6) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to ($1.2) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was ($0.4) million compared to ($0.8) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).

For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 4, 2018

 

Net sales increased 62.0% to $101.7 million in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period from $62.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2018. This increase was driven by strong showroom, Internet and shop-in-shop performance as a result of an increase in new customers combined with an increase in the total number of units sold and continued accelerated investments in marketing to increase brand awareness. Comparable sales, which includes showroom and Internet sales, increased 40.9%. Comparable showroom sales increased 33.2% and Internet sales increased 73.6%.

 

The Company opened 13 new showrooms and closed two showrooms in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period.

 

Gross profit dollars increased 61.5% to $55.4 million in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period. Gross margin decreased by 20 basis points to 54.4% in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period from 54.6% in the same period of fiscal 2018. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a channel mix shift toward shop-in-shop locations which carry a lower margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $20.4 million, or 59.0%, to $55.0 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2018 compared to $34.6 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2017. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to an increase in employment costs of $2.7 million, $3.0 million of increased rent associated with our net addition of 11 showrooms, and $8.3 million of expenses related to the increase in sales such as credit card fees, web affiliate program and web hosting program commissions, shop in shop sales agent fees, and utility and repairs expense, $1.0 million increase in overhead expense to support overhead initiatives and public company expenses, stock based compensation of $2.3 million, sponsor fees of $1.3 million, and equity raise expense of $1.2 million. As a percent to sales, total SG&A expense decreased by 102 basis points.

 

Marketing expense increased by $7.4 million or 128% to $13.2 million in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period from $5.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2018. The increase in marketing costs relates to increased media, to include national media and direct to consumer programs which drive revenue beyond the period of the expense.

 

Operating loss was $15.3 million in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period compared to an operating loss of $7.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2018.

Net loss was $15.1 million, and net loss attributable to common shares was $43.0 million, including preferred dividends and deemed dividends in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period. This compares to a net loss of $7.9 million in the prior year period and a net loss attributable to common shares of $8.6 million including preferred dividends and deemed dividends in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss, which excludes IPO related sponsor fees and equity-based compensation and certain other non-recurring expenses, was ($11.1) million in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period compared to ($7.2) million in the prior year period (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”). Net loss per share, including preferred dividends and deemed dividends, was ($4.51) in the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period compared to ($1.43) in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Information

 

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): adjusted net loss, adjusted diluted loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net loss excludes the effect of one-time costs related to the Company’s IPO in June 2018 and fees associated with fundraising and reorganizing activities. Adjusted diluted loss per share is defined as adjusted net loss divided by a pro forma share count which assumes the IPO took place before the relevant time period. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, sponsor fees, deferred rent, equity-based compensation, write-off of property and equipment, one-time IPO-related expenses, and fees associated with fundraising and reorganizing activities. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures” in this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of the Company’s business and facilitate a more meaningful comparison of its diluted income per share and actual results on a period-over-period basis. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate these items differently than the Company does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
