The Michaels Companies Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results - Business Wire

sisilihya.blogspot.com

IRVING, Texas--()--The Michaels Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIK) today announced financial results for the first quarter fiscal 2020 ended May 2, 2020.

Ashley Buchanan, Michaels Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During an unprecedented time, our teams quickly adapted and executed on key priorities for our business. While temporary store closures negatively impacted our first quarter results, I am proud of the way our team responded to changing market conditions, implementing safety and business continuity measures to protect the health of our associates while continuing to safely service the needs of our customers. This quarter, we significantly accelerated Michaels’ transformation into an omnichannel retailer by introducing a robust set of customer facing digital and fulfillment capabilities. As we reopen stores, we are encouraged by the trends we are seeing. Moving through the rest of the year, we will continue to introduce additional capabilities that enable us to serve customers wherever and however they want to shop. We believe these actions, along with our strong liquidity, will enable us to successfully navigate the current environment and emerge a healthier, stronger and better positioned omnichannel company.”

Key Highlights

  • The Company introduced new omnichannel capabilities including curbside pick-up and same day delivery, expanded ship from store and BOPIS and enabled in-app purchases; these actions helped drive 296% e-commerce growth in the first quarter.
  • As a result of restrictions related to COVID-19, fewer than 500 stores were open as of May 2, 2020. However, many closed stores continued to generate sales through curbside pickup and ship from store programs. As of June 4, 2020, the number of open and fully operational stores has increased to approximately 1,000 of the Company’s 1,273 stores.
  • Strong ending cash position of $926.8 million as of May 2, 2020 due to actions including a proactive draw down of the Company’s revolving credit facility, and effective cash management and cost reduction measures.

First Quarter Fiscal 2020:

  • The 27% decline in sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the prior year period was due to temporary store closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales related to 11 additional Michaels stores (net of closures) since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and an increase in e-commerce sales of $118.8 million or nearly 300%, partially offset the decline. Total comparable store sales decreased 27.6%.
  • Operating loss was $60.7 million compared to operating income of $92.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Adjusted operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $60.7 million compared to $101.4 million in adjusted operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. A full reconciliation of Adjusted operating (loss)/income is available within the tables of this press release.

Balance sheet and liquidity highlights:

  • The Company proactively drew down $600 million under its revolving credit facility in March 2020 and ended the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with a cash balance of $926.8 million.
  • Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company paid down $300 million on the revolving credit facility, leaving it with significant available borrowing capacity.
  • The Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to fund planned capital expenditures, working capital requirements, debt service requirements and anticipated growth for the foreseeable future.

COVID-19 business update:

The Company has taken a number of actions to adjust to the impact COVID-19 has had on its operations.

  • Health and safety protocols were implemented across stores in accordance with state and local guidance to protect employees and customers. These included closing stores or limiting store hours, increasing store cleaning and implementing social distancing measures. Additionally, the Company provided thermometers for associates, installed plexiglass shields at check-out, and hand sanitizer dispensers throughout its stores to protect customers and associates. The Company continues to closely monitor state and local guidance and is prepared to take any additional measures needed to ensure the safety of our employees and customers.
  • The Company took swift action to reduce costs by eliminating or deferring discretionary spending not directly related to health and safety and by prioritizing the initiatives necessary to operate effectively in the current environment.
  • The Company managed its working capital effectively by renegotiating payment terms with vendors and landlords and reducing labor costs where needed as a result of temporary store closures.
  • The Company deferred capital expenditures that were not directly related to maintenance or safety.

Outlook:

Following the completion of a strategic review, on May 14, 2020 the Company announced that it plans to close its Darice wholesale operations. The Company will retain a sourcing-related office in China and expects the closure process to be substantially completed by November 30, 2020. The Company anticipates the fiscal year 2020 after-tax, primarily non-cash, cost of the closure to be in the range of $46 million to $52 million, consisting primarily of the liquidation of inventory, employee-related expenses and costs associated with the write-off of intangible assets.

As of June 4, 2020, approximately 1,000 stores were open and fully operational. Based on the current state and local laws and guidance, the Company anticipates substantially all 1,273 Michaels stores will be open by the end of June 2020.

Based on current trends, the Company believes it will use cash during its fiscal second quarter. Expected uses of cash during the second quarter include seasonal working capital and cash payments that were deferred from the first quarter. The Company expects to generate positive cash flow in the second half of fiscal 2020 and believes it has sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future.

Given the continued uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is not providing any additional financial outlook information at this time.

Non-GAAP Information

This press release includes non-GAAP measures including adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share, adjusted net (loss) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in a table accompanying 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 meaningful evaluation of its quarterly and fiscal 2020 results on a comparable basis with its quarterly and fiscal 2019 results.

The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. 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. The Company's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these items differently than it does.

The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the effect of the adverse effect of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak; economic uncertainty; substantial changes to fiscal and tax policies; our reliance on foreign suppliers; regulatory changes; the seasonality of our business; changes in customer demand; damage to the reputation of the Michaels brand or our private and exclusive brands; unexpected or unfavorable consumer responses to our promotional or merchandising programs; our failure to adequately maintain security and prevent unauthorized access to electronic and other confidential information; increased competition including internet-based competition from other retailers; the impact of tariffs on certain products that we import from China and other risks and uncertainties including those identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which is available at www.sec.gov, and other filings that the Company may make with the SEC in the future.

Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them.
