MONTREAL, March 28, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Dollarama Inc. (TSX:
DOL) ("Dollarama" or the "Corporation") today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended
February 3, 2019.
Financial and Operating Highlights
All comparative figures that follow are for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 3,
2019 compared to the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 28, 2018. All financial
information presented in this press release has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
Canada ("GAAP") as set out in the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting under Part I, which
incorporates International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
("IASB"). The information on numbers of common shares and net earnings per share for the 13-week and 52-week periods ended
January 28, 2018 presented in this press release has been retrospectively restated to reflect the
three-for-one share split of the Corporation's outstanding common shares implemented on June 20,
2018 (the "Share Split"). Throughout this press release, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, total debt and net debt, which are
referred to as "non-GAAP measures", are used to provide a better understanding of the Corporation's financial results. For a
full explanation of the Corporation's use of non-GAAP measures, please refer to footnote 1 of the "Selected Consolidated
Financial Information" section of this press release.
Throughout this press release, all references to "Fiscal 2018" are to the Corporation's fiscal year ended January 28,
2018, to "Fiscal 2019" are to the Corporation's fiscal year ended February 3, 2019, and to "Fiscal 2020" are to the
Corporation's fiscal year ending February 2, 2020. The Corporation's fiscal year ends on the Sunday
closest to January 31 of each year and usually has 52 weeks. However, as is traditional with
the retail calendar, every five or six years, a week is added to the fiscal year. Consequently, Fiscal 2018 was comprised of 52
weeks, Fiscal 2019 was comprised of 53 weeks and Fiscal 2020 is comprised of 52 weeks.
Compared to the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018:
- Sales increased by 13.0% to $1,059.7 million;
- Comparable store sales(1) grew 2.6%;
- Gross margin(1) was 40.4% of sales, compared to 41.4% of sales;
- EBITDA(1) grew 7.6% to $273.2 million, or 25.8% of sales, compared to 27.1% of
sales;
- Operating income grew 6.9% to $251.3 million, or 23.7% of sales, compared to 25.1% of sales;
and
- Diluted net earnings per common share increased by 12.5% to $0.54 from $0.48.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Corporation opened 33 net new stores, compared to 25 net new stores during the
corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
Compared to Fiscal 2018:
- Sales increased by 8.6% to $3,548.5 million;

- Gross margin(1) was 39.3% of sales, compared to 39.8% of sales;

sales;

and
- Diluted net earnings per common share increased by 9.9% to $1.67 from $1.52.
During Fiscal 2019, the Corporation opened 65 net new stores, the same number of net new stores opened during Fiscal 2018.
"Dollarama delivered strong financial and operating results in Fiscal 2019, in the context of a competitive, low-inflation
environment. This performance demonstrates the resilience of our business model, which rests on well-executed organic growth, our
direct sourcing strengths, and our multi-price point strategy," said Neil Rossy, Dollarama's
President and Chief Executive Officer.
"In Fiscal 2020, our priority is to continue to re-invest in our strong value proposition and enhance our product assortment,
always with the consumer in mind. We also continue to focus on the execution of our growth strategy by adding 60 to 70 net new
stores for the year, and on initiatives to increase store traffic and sales," Neil Rossy
added.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Sales for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 increased by 13.0% to $1,059.7 million,
compared to $938.1 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Continued
organic sales growth was driven by balanced growth in comparable store sales and in the total number of stores over the past
twelve months, from 1,160 stores on January 28, 2018 to 1,225 stores on February 3, 2019.
Sales for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 include sales generated during the additional week in this quarter associated with
the 53-week retail calendar, which accounted for $57.7 million.
Comparable store sales grew 2.6% in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, over and above comparable store sales growth of 5.5% in
the same quarter a year ago. Year-over-year comparable store sales growth excludes the additional week in the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 2019. Comparable store sales growth consisted of a 3.0% increase in average transaction size, partially offset by a 0.4%
decrease in the number of transactions.
Gross margin was 40.4% of sales in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, compared to 41.4% of sales in the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 2018. Gross margin was lower due to lower product margins attributable to management's strategic decision to minimize
price increases in Fiscal 2019 in order to offer an even more compelling and competitive value proposition to consumers in
the prevailing retail environment.
General, administrative and store operating expenses ("SG&A") for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $155.1 million, a 14.9% increase over $134.9 million for the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 2018. This increase was primarily related to the growth in the total number of stores, an increase in minimum wage in
certain jurisdictions, and the additional week in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019.
SG&A for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 represented 14.6% of sales, compared to 14.4% of sales for the fourth quarter
of Fiscal 2018. The 0.2% increase was the result of an increase in minimum wage in certain jurisdictions, partially offset
by ongoing labour productivity initiatives.
Net financing costs increased by $4.0 million, from $10.3 million
for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018 to $14.3 million for the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 2019. The increase was mainly due to increased borrowings on long-term debt.
Net earnings increased to $172.0 million, or $0.54 per
diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, compared to $162.8 million,
or $0.48 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018. The increase in net
earnings was mainly the result of a 13.0% increase in sales, partially offset by a lower gross margin. Earnings per share
were positively impacted by the repurchase of shares through the Corporation's normal course issuer bid.
Fiscal 2019 Financial Results
Sales for Fiscal 2019 increased by 8.6% to $3,548.5 million, compared to $3,266.1 million in Fiscal 2018. Continued organic sales growth was driven by balanced growth in comparable
store sales and in the total number of stores over the past twelve months, from 1,160 stores on January 28, 2018
to 1,225 stores on February 3, 2019. Sales for Fiscal 2019 include sales generated
during the additional week associated with the 53-week retail calendar, which accounted for $57.7
million.
Comparable store sales grew 2.7% in Fiscal 2019, over and above comparable store sales growth of 5.2% for Fiscal 2018.
Year-over-year comparable store sales growth excludes the additional week in Fiscal 2019. Comparable store sales growth consisted
of a 3.2% increase in average transaction size, partially offset by a 0.5% decrease in the number of transactions. The rate of
comparable store sales growth in Fiscal 2019 primarily reflects management's strategic decision to limit price increases in
order to offer an even more compelling and competitive value proposition to consumers in the prevailing retail environment.
In Fiscal 2019, 69.7% of sales originated from products priced higher than $1.25, compared to
67.1% in Fiscal 2018.
Gross margin was 39.3% of sales in Fiscal 2019, compared to 39.8% of sales in Fiscal 2018. Gross margin decreased mainly due
to lower product margins attributable to management's decision to minimize price increases in Fiscal 2019 compared to Fiscal
2018. The decrease in gross margin was partially offset by lower occupancy costs as a percentage of sales. Gross margin includes
sales made by the Corporation to Dollar City, as principal, which represent approximately 1% of the Corporation's total sales,
and a nominal markup margin. Consequently, these sales had minimal impact on overall gross margin in both the current and prior
year.
SG&A for Fiscal 2019 was $509.3 million, a 7.3% increase over $474.8 million for Fiscal 2018. The increase was primarily related to the growth in the total number of
stores, an increase in minimum wage in certain jurisdictions and the additional week in Fiscal 2019.
SG&A for Fiscal 2019 represented 14.4% of sales, compared to 14.5% of sales for Fiscal 2018. The 0.1% improvement was
mainly the result of lower variable costs driven by new and continuing labour productivity initiatives that mitigated the impact
of minimum wage increases in certain jurisdictions, primarily in Ontario.
Net financing costs increased by $8.6 million, from $39.9 million
for Fiscal 2018 to $48.5 million for Fiscal 2019. The increase was mainly due to increased
borrowings on long-term debt.
Net earnings increased to $548.9 million, or $1.67 per
diluted common share, for Fiscal 2019, compared to $519.4 million, or $1.52 per diluted common share, for Fiscal 2018. The increase in net earnings was mainly the result of an
8.6% increase in sales and lower SG&A as a percentage of sales, partially offset by a lower gross margin. Earnings per share
were positively impacted by the repurchase of shares through the Corporation's normal course issuer bid.
Dividend
On March 28, 2019, the Corporation announced that its board of directors had approved a 10.0%
increase of the quarterly cash dividend for holders of common shares, from $0.040 to $0.044 per common share. The Corporation's quarterly cash dividend will be paid on May 10, 2019, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 19, 2019, and is designated
as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian tax purposes.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
The total number of common shares repurchased for cancellation during Fiscal 2019 under the 2017-2018 NCIB (which expired
on June 18, 2018) and the 2018-2019 NCIB amounted to 13,790,350 common shares, at a weighted average price of
$38.66 per common share, for a total cash consideration of $533.1 million.
Distribution Capacity Expansion Update
The expansion of the Corporation's Montreal-area distribution centre continues to proceed on
schedule and on budget. Phase 1 of the project, which was comprised of the construction of the building extension, was completed
on December 21, 2018. Phase 2 of the project, which consists of construction work within the
existing facility, ahead of the integration of the new building extension, is currently underway. Distribution centre operations
continue at normal levels in parallel. The completion of the project, including the installation of all fixtures and equipment,
is expected to occur, as planned, before the end of calendar 2019.
Dollar City Store Network Growth Update
At its latest quarter ended December 31, 2018, Dollar City operated 169 stores with 74 locations
in Colombia, 43 in El Salvador and 52 in Guatemala. This
is up from a total of 150 stores at the quarter ended September 30, 2018, and up from 107 stores as
of December 31, 2017.
Dollar City is an independently-owned and operated value retailer with operations in El
Salvador, Guatemala and Colombia founded in 2009. Under
an arm's length agreement signed in 2013, Dollarama provides consulting and sourcing services to Dollar City at cost, with a
nominal markup in some cases, allowing Dollar City to benefit from Dollarama's business expertise and purchasing scale. Dollarama
will have the option to acquire a 50.1% interest in the business starting in 2020. The Corporation continues to assess the
progress of its partnership with Dollar City in Latin America.
Significant Accounting Standard Issued but not yet Adopted
In January of 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, "Leases", which replaces IAS 17, "Leases". The new standard is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 will be applied for Fiscal 2020 using
the full retrospective approach and the Corporation will therefore be restating comparative information for Fiscal 2019, as
if IFRS 16 had always been applied. The Corporation's consolidated statement of financial position is expected to increase by
approximately $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion with the addition of lease
liabilities and $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion with the addition of
right-of-use assets.

The guidance ranges for Fiscal 2020 are based on a number of assumptions, including the following:
- comparable store sales growth in the range of 2.5% to 3.5%;
- the number of signed offers to lease and store pipeline for the next twelve months;
- positive customer response to our product offering, value proposition and in-store merchandising;
- the active management of product margins, including by refreshing 25% to 30% of the offering on an annual basis;
- approximately three months of visibility on open orders and product margins;
- the entering into of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the majority of forecasted purchases of merchandise in
U.S. dollars against fluctuations of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;
- the continued execution of in‑store productivity initiatives, including, without limitation, the efficient use of advanced
scheduling and the realization of cost savings and benefits aimed at improving operating expenses;
- ongoing cost monitoring;
- the capital budget for Fiscal 2020 for new store openings, maintenance capital expenditures, and transformational capital
expenditures (the latter being mainly related to information technology projects) as well as the remaining costs to be incurred
for the expansion of distribution capacity;
- the successful execution of our business strategy;
- the absence of a significant shift in economic conditions or material changes in the retail competitive environment;
and
- the absence of unusually adverse weather, especially in peak seasons around major holidays and celebrations.
Many factors could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements or future events or developments to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including risks related to: future increases
in operating costs (including increases in statutory minimum wages), future increases in merchandise costs (including as a
result of tariff disputes), inability to sustain assortment and replenishment of merchandise, increase in the cost or a
disruption in the flow of imported goods, failure to maintain brand image and reputation, disruption of distribution
infrastructure, inventory shrinkage, inability to renew store, warehouse and head office leases on favourable terms, inability to
increase warehouse and distribution centre capacity in a timely manner, seasonality, market acceptance of private brands, foreign
exchange rate fluctuations, competition in the retail industry, current economic conditions, failure to attract and retain
quality employees, disruption in information technology systems, unsuccessful execution of the growth strategy, adverse weather
including any related impact on sales, product liability claims and product recalls, litigation and regulatory compliance.
This guidance, including the various underlying assumptions, is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with the
cautionary statement on forward-looking statements.

In this press release, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, total debt and net debt are
referred to as "non-GAAP measures". Non-GAAP measures are not generally accepted measures under GAAP and do not have a
standardized meaning under GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDA margin, total debt and net debt are reconciled below. The non-GAAP
measures, as calculated by the Corporation, may not be comparable to those of other issuers and should be considered as a
supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We have included non-GAAP measures to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating and financial
performance. We believe that non-GAAP measures are important supplemental metrics of operating and financial performance
because they eliminate items that have less bearing on our operating and financial performance and thus highlight trends
in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. We also believe that
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-GAAP measures in the evaluation of
issuers, many of which present non-GAAP measures when reporting their results. Our management also uses non-GAAP measures
in order to facilitate operating and financial performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual budgets,
and to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital
requirements.
