PLANO, Texas, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At Home Group
Inc. (NYSE: HOME), the home décor superstore, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, which
ended October 29, 2016.
Lee Bird, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are pleased to report strong third
quarter results driven by broad-based strength across both new and existing stores. Our differentiated, value-oriented
product offering resonated with our customers and, combined with the progress we are making on our merchandising and marketing
initiatives, drove our tenth consecutive quarter of over 20% net sales growth and our eleventh consecutive quarter of positive
comparable store sales growth. This strong top line performance drove increased profitability on an adjusted basis as we
generated pro forma adjusted EPS1 of $0.03 while continuing to make the appropriate
investments in our business to support our planned growth."
For the Thirteen Weeks Ended October 29, 2016
- Net sales increased 22.4% to $170.7 million from $139.4 million
in the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 2015 driven by the net addition of 22 new stores since
the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and a comparable store sales increase of 4.2%.
- We opened 7 new stores in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and ended the quarter with 122 stores in 30 states. This
represents a 22.0% increase in total stores since the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
- Gross profit increased 24.0% to $51.4 million from $41.4
million in the prior year. Gross margin increased 40 basis points to 30.1% primarily due to product margin improvement,
partially offset by costs associated with investments in incremental inventory and increased occupancy costs resulting from the
sale-leaseback transactions that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased 26.9% to $45.8 million
from $36.1 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily driven by the net addition
of 22 stores since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016, $3.4 million of stock-based
compensation and transaction costs associated with our initial public offering ("IPO") and corporate and strategic investments
to support our growth strategies, including labor cost associated with the inflow of incremental inventory and a $1.5 million increase in brand advertising to continue driving consumer awareness of the At Home brand.
- Adjusted SG&A1, which excludes nonrecurring costs incurred in conjunction with our IPO, increased 17.9% to
$42.4 million and 24.8% of net sales compared to $35.9 million and
25.8% of net sales in the third quarter of last year.
- Operating income was $4.5 million compared to $4.6 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 2.7%, primarily driven by IPO-related costs and
our investments in brand advertising partially offset by improvement in gross margin.
- Adjusted operating income1 increased 65.6% to $7.9 million and 4.7% of net sales
compared to $4.8 million and 3.4% of net sales in the same quarter last year.
- Interest expense decreased to $5.2 million from $8.4 million in
the same quarter last year due to the repayment in full of our $130.0 million second lien term
loan facility (the "Second Lien Facility") in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 utilizing net proceeds from our IPO.
- Income tax benefit was $1.5 million based on an effective tax rate of 44.8% compared to
expense of $7.1 million and an effective tax rate of (187.9)% in the same quarter of the prior
year. The prior year effective tax rate was primarily impacted by changes in the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets.
- Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.9 million, which included a $2.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the repayment of our Second Lien Facility. We
recognized a net loss of $10.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
- Pro forma adjusted net income1 was $1.8 million compared to a pro forma adjusted net loss of
$0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
- EPS was $(0.03) compared to $(0.21) in the third quarter of
fiscal 2016. Pro forma adjusted EPS1 was $0.03 compared to $(0.01) in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 20.1% to $22.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended
October 29, 2016.
For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016
- Net sales increased 21.6% to $531.1 million from $436.7 million
in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015, driven by the net addition of 22 new stores
since the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and a comparable store sales increase of 2.3% over the prior year period.
- Gross profit increased 21.4% to $171.8 million year to date from $141.5 million in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin decreased 10 basis points to 32.3% due to
costs associated with investments in incremental inventory and increased occupancy costs as a result of our third quarter
fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 sale-leaseback transactions.
- SG&A increased 28.8% to $125.4 million from $97.4 million
in the same period of fiscal 2016. The increase is primarily driven by the net addition of 22 stores, including a $2.2 million increase in preopening costs due to the number and timing of new store openings, $3.4 million of stock-based compensation and transaction costs associated with our IPO as well as corporate
and strategic investments to support our growth strategies, including labor cost associated with the inflow of incremental
inventory and a $5.0 million increase in brand advertising to continue driving consumer awareness
of the At Home brand.
- Adjusted SG&A1, which excludes nonrecurring costs incurred in conjunction with our IPO, increased 25.7% to
$122.0 million and 23.0% of net sales compared to $97.1 million and
22.2% of net sales through the third quarter of last year.
- Operating income was $43.4 million year to date compared to $42.5
million in the same period of fiscal 2016. Operating margin decreased 150 basis points to 8.2%, primarily driven by
IPO-related costs, an increase in preopening expenses and our investments in brand advertising.
- Adjusted operating income1 increased 9.4% to $46.8 million and 8.8% of net sales
year to date compared to $42.8 million and 9.8% of net sales in the same period of fiscal
2016.
- Interest expense decreased to $21.9 million from $28.2 million
in the comparable period of the prior year due to the June 2015 refinancing of our 10.75% senior
secured notes as well as the repayment in full of our $130.0 million Second Lien Facility in the
third quarter of fiscal 2017 utilizing net proceeds from our IPO.
- Income tax expense was $7.0 million based on an effective tax rate of 37.2% in the first
thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2017 as compared to $33.5 million and an effective tax rate of
(154.0)% in the prior year period. The prior year effective tax rate was primarily impacted by changes in the valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets.
- Net income was $11.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October
29, 2016, which included a $2.7 million loss on the extinguishment of debt in the third
quarter. This compares to a net loss of $55.2 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015, which included a $36.0 million loss on the extinguishment of
debt in the second quarter.
- Pro forma adjusted net income1 was $19.1 million year to date compared to
$16.8 million in the comparable prior year period.
- EPS was $0.21 year to date compared to $(1.08) in the
comparable fiscal 2016 period. Pro forma adjusted EPS1 was $0.31 year to date versus
$0.27 in the comparable prior year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 14.3% to $93.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 29, 2016.
Initial Public Offering
In August 2016 we completed our IPO, using substantially all of the net proceeds to repay in
full our $130.0 million Second Lien Facility. The repayment resulted in a loss on
extinguishment of debt in the amount of $2.7 million, which was recognized in the third quarter of
fiscal 2017.
Improved Credit Rating
On August 31, 2016, Moody's Investor Service upgraded At Home Holding III Inc.'s Corporate
Family Rating to "B1" from "B2". On September 9, 2016, S&P Global Ratings raised our corporate
credit rating to "B" from "B -". Both rating agencies cited our reduced leverage as a result of the repayment of our Second Lien
Facility with IPO proceeds, as well as their expectations that continued solid operating performance due to new unit expansion
and positive comparable store sales growth will support further credit metric improvement.
Sale-leaseback Transactions
In August 2016, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which we sold four
properties for a total of $32.6 million. Contemporaneously with the closing of the sale, we entered
into a lease pursuant to which we leased back the properties for cumulative initial annual rent of $2.2
million, subject to annual escalations. Approximately $3.7 million of the proceeds from the
sale were used to pay off a note payable on one of the properties.
In September 2016, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which we sold three
properties for a total of $30.6 million. Contemporaneously with the closing of the sale, we entered
into a lease pursuant to which we leased back the properties for cumulative initial annual rent of $2.1
million, subject to annual escalations.
Balance Sheet Highlights as of October 29, 2016
- Total liquidity (cash plus $124.0 million of availability under our revolving credit
facility) was $131.7 million.
- Total debt was $302.4 million compared to $439.2 million as of
October 31, 2015. There was $87.0 million outstanding under our
revolving credit facility as of October 29, 2016.
Fiscal 2017 Outlook & Key Assumptions
Judd Nystrom, Chief Financial Officer, stated: "As a result of our strong third quarter
performance and fourth quarter momentum, we are increasing our fiscal 2017 top and bottom line expectations. For the full year,
we now expect to achieve 20% to 22% net sales growth, an approximately six-fold increase in net income, and a 34% to 40% increase
in pro forma adjusted net income." Below is an overview of our outlook for selected fiscal 2017 financial data and related
assumptions:
- Net sales are expected to be in a range of $750 million to $758 million. Our net sales growth
outlook is based on 23 net new store openings and an assumed comparable store sales increase of 2.5% to 3.0%.
- Net income is expected to be in a range of $24.5 million to $26 million, with pro forma
adjusted net income1 in a range of $34.0 million to $35.5 million2, based
on an assumed 38.5% annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2017 and annual interest expense of approximately $27 million.
- EPS is expected to be in a range of $0.43 to $0.46, with pro forma adjusted EPS1
in a range of $0.54 to $0.57, based on assumed diluted weighted average shares outstanding of
approximately 56.5 million and pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding1 of approximately 62.5 million,
respectively.
- Gross capital expenditures are expected to be in a range of $138 million to $148 million, or
$75 million to $85 million net of assumed sale-leaseback proceeds.

2 Projected pro forma adjusted net income excludes the following estimated pre-tax adjustments for fiscal 2017: a
$2.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt from the use of IPO proceeds to repay our $130.0 million Second Lien Facility; $5.6 million in non-cash stock-based
compensation related to a special one-time IPO bonus grant; $0.7 million of transaction related
costs associated with our IPO; and a $6.1 million pro forma interest adjustment to normalize
results for the impact of repaying our Second Lien Facility with IPO proceeds.

Non-GAAP Measures
Certain financial measures presented in this release, such as comparable store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A,
adjusted operating income, Adjusted Net Income, pro forma adjusted net income, pro forma diluted weighted average shares
outstanding, pro forma adjusted EPS and Store-level Adjusted EBITDA, are not recognized under GAAP.
We present comparable store sales, which is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, because it allows us to evaluate
how our store base is performing by measuring the change in period-over-period net sales in stores that have been open for the
applicable period. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Store-level Adjusted EBITDA, which are not recognized financial measures
under GAAP, because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods
on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, such as
interest, depreciation, amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt and taxes, as well as costs related to new store openings,
which are incurred on a limited basis with respect to any particular store when opened and are not indicative of ongoing core
operating performance. We present adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, Adjusted Net Income, pro forma adjusted net
income, pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding and pro forma adjusted EPS, which are not recognized financial
measures under GAAP, because we believe investors' understanding of our operating performance is enhanced by the disclosure of
selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income, net income, diluted weighted average shares outstanding and
earnings per diluted share adjusted for nonrecurring charges associated with events such as our IPO and refinancing
transactions.
You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental
analysis. In evaluating our non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as
or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be
construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance
that we will not modify the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be
material. In addition, comparable store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, Adjusted Net
Income, pro forma adjusted net income, pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding, pro forma adjusted EPS and
Store-level Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Comparable store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, Adjusted Net Income, pro forma adjusted
net income, pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding, pro forma adjusted EPS and Store-level Adjusted EBITDA have
limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using comparable
store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, Adjusted Net Income, pro forma adjusted net income,
pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding, pro forma adjusted EPS and Store-level Adjusted EBITDA only as
supplemental information.

|
|
|
(a)
|
Includes the portion of depreciation and amortization expenses that are
classified as cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations.
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
Primarily consists of (i) consulting and other professional fees with
respect to tax consulting services as well as completed projects to enhance our accounting and finance capabilities and
other public company readiness initiatives, of $1.3 million and $0.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended October 29,
2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively, and $2.6 million and $2.0 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29,
2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively and (ii) litigation settlement charges and related legal fees for certain claims
and legal costs for other matters relating to events that arose prior to our acquisition by our Sponsors that have
concluded in the amounts of $(0.4) million for the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 2015 and $0.1 million for the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015. Adjustments related to such items for the other periods presented were not
material.
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
Non-capital expenditures associated with opening new stores, including
marketing and advertising, labor and cash occupancy expenses. We anticipate that we will continue to incur cash costs as
we open new stores in the future. We opened seven and eight new stores during the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016
and October 31, 2015, respectively, and 23 and 20 new stores during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 and
October 31, 2015, respectively.
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
Primarily reflects employee recruiting and relocation costs in connection
with the build-out of our management team.
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
Reflects management fees paid to our Sponsors in accordance with our
management agreement. In connection with our initial public offering, the management agreement was terminated on August
3, 2016 and our Sponsors will no longer receive management fees from us.
|
|
|
|
(f)
|
Non-cash stock-based compensation related to the ongoing equity
incentive program that we have in place to incentivize and retain management.
|
|
|
|
(g)
|
Non-cash stock-based compensation associated with a special one-time
initial public offering bonus grant to senior executives, which we do not consider in our evaluation of our ongoing
performance. The grant was made in addition to the ongoing equity incentive program that we have in place to incentivize
and retain management and was made to reward certain senior executives for historical performance and allow them to
benefit from future successful outcomes for our Sponsors.
|
|
|
|
(h)
|
Consists of the non-cash portion of rent, which reflects (i) the extent to
which our GAAP straight-line rent expense recognized exceeds or is less than our cash rent payments, partially offset by
(ii) the amortization of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions that are recognized to rent expense on a
straight-line basis through the applicable lease term. The offsetting amounts relating to the amortization of deferred
gains on sale-leaseback transactions were $1.4 million and $0.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016
and October 31, 2015, respectively, and $3.3 million and $2.2 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016
and October 31, 2015, respectively. The GAAP straight-line rent expense adjustment can vary depending on the average age
of our lease portfolio, which has been impacted by our significant growth over the last four fiscal years. For newer
leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments while for more mature leases, rent expense
recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
Other adjustments include amounts our management believes are not
representative of our ongoing operations, including:
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016, a loss of $0.3 million
recognized on the sale of land in connection with the expansion of our distribution center; and
|
|
|
•
|
for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015, expenses incurred for a
store closure in the aggregate amount of $0.5 million and a gain of $(1.8) million recognized on the sale of our property
in Houston, Texas.
|
|
|
|
|
(j)
|
Reflects corporate overhead expenses, which are not directly related to the
profitability of our stores, to facilitate comparisons of store operating performance as we do not consider these
corporate overhead expenses when evaluating the ongoing performance of our stores from period to period. Corporate
overhead expenses, which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, are comprised of various home
office general and administrative expenses such as payroll expenses, occupancy costs, marketing and advertising, and
consulting and professional fees. See our discussion of the changes in selling, general and administrative expenses
presented in "—Results of Operations". Store-level Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for consolidated
measures of profitability or performance because it does not reflect corporate overhead expenses that are necessary to
allow us to effectively operate our stores and generate Store-level Adjusted EBITDA. We anticipate that we will continue
to incur corporate overhead expenses in future periods.
