MONTREAL, April 21, 2022 /CNW/ - The Company's results for the 13 weeks ended January 29, 2022 ("fourth quarter of 2022") and the results for the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2022 ("fiscal 2022") and the respective comparative periods of the 13 weeks ended January 30, 2021 ("fourth quarter of 2021") and the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2021 ("fiscal 2021"). Certain measures, including those expressed on an adjusted basis, are non-GAAP measures. See section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
52 weeks ended January 29, 2022
Sales for fiscal 2022 increased by $128.6 million, or 24.1%, to $662.0 million as compared with $533.4 million for fiscal 2021, primarily due to the Company's store network operating capacity being closed for far fewer total number of days while under partial lockdowns for fiscal 2022 as compared to a phased store re-opening from full and partial lockdowns for fiscal 2021, resulting in an increase in store traffic and number of transactions, with customers transitioning back to a "brick and mortar" shopping experience and an increase in the Company's e-commerce sales.
Gross profit for fiscal 2022 increased $106.8 million, or 43.4%, to $353.1 million as compared with $246.3 million for fiscal 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2022 increased to 53.3% from 46.2% for fiscal 2021. The increase both in gross profit and as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to lower markdowns and promotional activity in fiscal 2022 combined with a favourable foreign exchange impact on U.S. dollar denominated purchases included in cost of goods sold, partially offset by higher merchandise freight costs as the global shipping industry disruption required an increased usage of air freight shipments to meet customer demand.
Results from operating activities from continuing operations for fiscal 2022 were earnings of $143.1 million as compared with a loss of $108.0 million for fiscal 2021. The increase in earnings of $251.1 million is primarily attributable to a $88.6 million gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise, the increase in gross profit of $106.8 million from higher sales and lower promotional activity and a decrease in overall operating costs of $55.7 million. The decrease in overall operating costs is primarily attributable to a decrease in restructuring costs of $32.8 million, fewer stores, improved lease arrangements, lower depreciation and amortization of $16.4 million, a decrease in impairment charges of $14.9 million and a decrease in overall freight costs of $2.4 million as customers transitioned back to a in-store shopping experience, partially offset by an increase in store personnel wages and higher digital media advertising spend and a decrease of $12.7 million in financial support from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS"), the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy ("CERS") and the Tourism and Hospitality Recovery Program ("THRP") programs.
Net earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2022 was $143.2 million ($2.93 basic and diluted earnings per share) as compared with a $100.0 million net loss ($2.05 basic and diluted loss per share) for fiscal 2021. The increase in net earnings from continuing operations of $243.2 million is primarily attributable to a recovery of restructuring costs, the gain realized on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise, the increase in gross profit, a decrease in overall operating costs and an increase in tax recovery, partially offset by an increase in net finance costs.
Adjusted EBITDA1 from continuing operations for fiscal 2022 was $94.8 million as compared to $6.6 million for fiscal 2021. The increase of $88.2 million is primarily attributable to the increase of $106.8 million in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in operating costs (excluding restructuring costs, depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets) of $8.4 million and a decrease of $10.2 million in foreign exchange gain.
The Company, as part of its restructuring plan, closed the Thyme Maternity and Addition Elle banners during fiscal 2021 (see section entitled "Discontinued Operations"). Net earnings from discontinued operations for fiscal 2022 was $15.0 million as compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $72.2 million for fiscal 2021. As the discontinued banners were not in operation during fiscal 2022, the net earnings of $15.0 million resulted from an adjustment to the provision for disclaimed leases and the total liabilities subject to compromise under the Plan of Arrangement (see section entitled "Other Key Company Updates").
13 weeks ended January 29, 2022
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by $45.5 million, or 31.4%, to $190.2 million as compared with $144.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in store traffic and number of transactions as a fewer number of the Company's retail stores operated under government imposed store capacity restrictions during a portion of the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to a larger number of the Company' s retail stores being closed under partial lockdowns during the fourth quarter of 2021.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $31.3 million, or 48.2%, to $96.2 million as compared with $64.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased to 50.6% from 44.9% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase both in gross profit and as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to lower markdowns and promotional activity in the fourth quarter of 2022 combined with a favourable foreign exchange impact on U.S. dollar denominated purchases included in cost of goods sold, partially offset by higher merchandise freight costs as the global shipping industry disruption required an increased usage of air freight shipments to meet customer demand.
Results from operating activities from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 were earnings of $96.1 million as compared with a loss of $11.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in earnings of $107.9 million is primarily attributable to a $88.6 million gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and the increase in gross profit of $31.3 million from higher sales and lower promotional activity, partially offset by an increase in overall operating costs of $12.0 million. The increase in overall operating costs is primarily attributable to higher store personnel wages and higher digital media spend during the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase in restructuring costs of $5.0 million, a decrease of $4.5 million in the total combined financial support from the CEWS, CERS and THRP programs, partially offset by improved lease arrangements, fewer stores, lower depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million and lower impairment charges of $1.2 million.
Net earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $97.2 million ($1.99 basic and diluted earnings per share) as compared with a $10.9 million net loss from continuing operations ($0.22 basic and diluted loss per share) for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in net earnings from continuing operations of $108.1 million is primarily attributable to the gain realized on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise, the increase in gross profit, an increase in net finance income, partially offset by an increase in overall operating costs and a decrease in income tax recovery.
Adjusted EBITDA1 from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $23.5 million as compared with $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase of $20.7 million is primarily attributable to the increase of $31.3 million in gross profit and an increase of $0.3 million in foreign exchange gain on U.S. denominated monetary assets and liabilities, partially offset by an increase in operating costs (excluding restructuring costs, depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets) of $10.9 million.
As highlighted in the section entitled "Discontinued Operations", the Company, as part of its restructuring plan, closed the Thyme Maternity and Addition Elle banners in fiscal 2021. The discontinued banners were not in operation during the fourth quarter of 2022 or the fourth quarter of 2021.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on the Company's results.
During fiscal 2021, all of the Company's stores were closed for 55 consecutive days from the start of the "first wave" of governmental lockdowns. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company had a phased reopening of its stores and by the end of June 2020, all of the Company's stores were open for business. During the fourth quarter of 2021, as the number of COVID-19 cases increased and government-imposed restrictions became effective, temporary store closures grew to approximately 62% (at its highest point) of the Company's total retail store network.
At the beginning of fiscal 2022, the Company had 240 out of its 415 stores (58% of its store network) closed as a consequence of governmental lockdown directives. This partial lockdown of the Company's retail store network continued into the first quarter of 2022. Even though restrictions were relaxed and some stores reopened, in April 2021 a "third wave" resulting in increased COVID-19 cases required some further governmental lockdowns. By the end of June 2021, all temporarily closed stores had reopened. However, a "fourth and fifth wave" of COVID-19 variant cases resulted in most provincial authorities imposing store capacity restrictions during a portion of the fourth quarter of 2022. As at January 29, 2022, while all of the company's stores were open, store capacity restrictions were still in effect by most provincial authorities.
During partial or full lockdowns, the Company continued to fulfill e-commerce orders though sales were not sufficient to offset the lost sales due to the closures. In June 2021, the Company implemented its buy online pick up in store ("BOPIS") initiative to enhance its customers' omnichannel experience and reduce freight costs on fulfilling e-commerce orders. Since BOPIS only started in June 2021, the impact on the Company's operating results for the fourth quarter of 2022 and fiscal 2022 was minimal in relation to freight costs.
During fiscal 2022, the Company's measures to protect its financial situation continued to include furloughing retail sales associates during temporary store closures and obtaining financial assistance from federal programs, such as the CEWS, the CERS and the THRP, under which the subsidies were consolidated starting from October 24, 2021. Such measures and financial assistance mitigated the financial impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business.
The extent to which COVID-19 and its variants will continue to impact the Company's business, including its supply chain, consumer shopping behavior and consumer demand, including online shopping, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. These future developments include emergence of new variants of COVID-19 resulting in a resurgence of positive COVID-19 cases, vaccination rates amongst the Canadian population and other measures taken by various government authorities to contain the virus and its variants spread for potential future waves as well as future customer shopping behavior including online sales. As the Company navigates through the challenges caused by COVID-19 and its variants, its focus is to adapt to customers' changing product preferences, closely monitor its cash position and control its spending, while managing its inventory levels in line with the change in demand behavior since COVID-19 started. Current financial information may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.
Other Key Company Updates
During fiscal 2021, specifically on May 19, 2020, the Company obtained an initial order (the "Order") from the Superior Court of Qubec (the "Court") to seek protection from creditors under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") and Ernst & Young Inc. was appointed as the Monitor. The CCAA process allowed the Company to implement an operational and commercial restructuring plan which included the closure of the Thyme Maternity and Addition Elle banners (see section entitled "Discontinued Operations"). On November 26, 2021, the Company obtained authorization from the Court to file its Plan of Arrangement ("the Plan") under CCAA. On December 21, 2021, the Company obtained approval of the Plan from its creditors and on January 4, 2022, the Company obtained a sanction order from the Court of its Plan. On January 12, 2022, in accordance with the Plan, the Company paid the Monitor the aggregate amount of $95.0 million in full and final settlement of all claims from its creditors affected by the Plan, and emerged from the CCAA proceedings. Concurrently, the Company secured a senior secured asset-based revolving facility with a Canadian financial institution of up to $115.0 million ("borrowing base") or its U.S. dollar equivalent, which matures on January 12, 2025. Up to $35.0 million (or its U.S. dollar equivalent) of the $115.0 million facility can be withdrawn through secured letters of credit. As of January 29, 2022, the Company's borrowing base was $90.7 million of which $29.6 million was drawn down under the revolving credit facility.
Discontinued Operations
During fiscal 2021, as part of its restructuring plan, the Company closed the Thyme Maternity and Addition Elle banners which resulted in the termination of approximately 1,600 employees in its retail locations and head office and, as a result, these results and cash flows have been classified as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations are excluded from the net earnings (loss) from continuing operations and are presented as earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

The Company is a leading women's specialty apparel retailer with retail outlets throughout Canada. As at January 29, 2022, the Company operated 404 stores consisting of 237 Reitmans, 90 Penningtons and 77 RW&CO.
1Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press announcement makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. They are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the Company's analysis of its financial information reported under IFRS.
Financial Measures
This press announcement discusses adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. This press announcement also indicates Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales and is considered a non-GAAP financial ratio. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before income tax expense/recovery, interest income, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, impairment of non-financial assets, restructuring costs and recoveries and gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise. With the classification of the Addition Elle and Thyme Maternity businesses as discontinued operations, Adjusted EBITDA is presented excluding discontinued operations. The intent of Adjusted EBITDA is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow to fund working capital needs and fund capital expenditures and uses the metric for this purpose. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales indicates how much liquidity is generated for each dollar of sales. The exclusion of interest income and expenses eliminate the impact on earnings derived from non-operational activities. The exclusion of depreciation, amortization and impairment charges eliminates the non-cash impact, and the exclusion of restructuring items, gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and discontinued operations presents the results of the on-going business.
The following table reconciles net earnings (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations:
| | For the fourth quarter of | For fiscal |
| | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 |
| Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations | $ 97.2 | $ (10.9) | $ 143.2 | $ (100.0) |
| Depreciation and amortization | 11.3 | 14.0 | 47.6 | 64.01 |

| Interest expense on lease liabilities | 1.0 | 1.4 | 4.0 | 5.7 |
| Income tax (recovery) expense | - | (0.5) | (0.4) | 0.2 |
| Restructuring | 0.5 | (4.5)2 | (12.2) | 20.62 |
| Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise | (88.6) | - | (88.6) | - |

| Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as % of Sales | 12.4% | 1.9% | 14.3% | 1.2% |
| | |
| 1 | Depreciation and amortization has been increased by $11.5 million with a corresponding decrease to selling, distribution and administrative expenses for fiscal 2021 to properly record depreciation and amortization expense for continuing operations. See Notes 4, 8, 9 and 10 of the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2022. |
| 2 | In order to conform to the fiscal 2022 presentation, comparative figures have been decreased by $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and decreased by $5.9 million for fiscal 2021 due to a reclassification of rent and occupancy costs recovered on lease re-negotiations to restructuring costs (gains), net. See Note 16 of the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2022. |
