WEST JORDAN, Utah, April 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. (“Sportsman's Warehouse” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SPWH) today announced financial results for the fourteen and fifty-three weeks ended February 3, 2024, which includes an extra week compared with the prior year period.
“Despite lower than expected fourth quarter sales, we were successful in reducing our excess inventory and ended the fiscal year in a significantly healthier inventory position,” said Paul Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sportsman’s Warehouse. “Our efforts to control costs and reduce excess inventory allowed us to generate free cash flow and exceed our internal debt reduction targets. These efforts, combined with more efficient inventory purchasing, will allow us to deliver the merchandise our customers need and expect for their outdoor adventures.”
Mr. Stone continued, “Our initial efforts in 2024 have been focused on resetting the organization to provide our passionate customers a positive in-store experience. This fundamental strategy includes great merchandising, exceptional service, and investing in the necessary tools, people and processes to regain our edge as the local outdoor retailer of choice. Our team is energized around these key initiatives and the direction we are headed. We are confident that centering our efforts on providing our passionate customers with great gear and exceptional service in our stores is the foundation that will ultimately allow us to achieve our primary goal: returning the business to profitability and growth.”
For the fourteen weeks ended February 3, 2024:
- Net sales were $370.4 million, a decrease of 2.3%, compared to $379.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The net sales decrease was primarily due to lower sales demand from consumer inflationary pressures and recession concerns, partially offset by the opening of 15 new stores over the last year and $15.4 million from the additional week of sales.
- Same store sales decreased 12.8% on a 13-week comparable basis, compared with the prior year fourth quarter.
- Gross profit was $99.4 million or 26.8% of net sales, compared to $122.8 million or 32.4% of net sales in the comparable prior year period. This decrease as a percentage of net sales can be attributed to lower overall product margins due to aggressive promotional activity to reduce distressed inventory, primarily in our clothing and footwear categories.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $107.3 million or 29.0% of net sales, compared to $106.7 million or 28.1% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The increase in absolute dollars is primarily due to higher depreciation and rent expenses from the opening of 15 new stores in 2023, mainly offset by a decrease in overall payroll expenses and reduced marketing spend.
- Net loss was $(8.7) million, compared to net income of $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Adjusted net loss was $(7.5) million compared to adjusted net income of $12.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).
- Adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 million, compared to $28.2 million in the comparable prior year period (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).
- Diluted loss per share was $(0.23) compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.29 in the comparable prior year period. Adjusted diluted loss per share was $(0.20) compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.33 for the comparable prior year period (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).
For the fifty-three weeks ended February 3, 2024:
- Net sales were $1,288.0 million, compared with $1,399.5 million or a decrease of 8.0% compared to fiscal year 2022. Excluding the extra week, net sales in fiscal 2023 were $1,272.6 million. The Company’s net sales decreased primarily from the continued impact of consumer inflationary pressures and recessionary concerns on discretionary spending, resulting in a decline in store traffic and lower sales demand across all product categories. These headwinds were partially offset by the Company’s opening of 15 new stores during fiscal year 2023.
- Same store sales decreased 14.4% during fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022, excluding the extra week of sales in fiscal 2023. This decrease was due to lower sales in all product categories.
- Gross profit was $383.4 million or 29.8% of net sales, as compared to $460.2 million or 32.9% of net sales for fiscal year 2022. These decreases were primarily driven by reduced product margins in our ammunition category within our Hunting and Shooting department, lower margins in our Apparel and Footwear departments, resulting from our increased promotional efforts to reduce inventory and decreases in net and same store sales.
- SG&A expenses increased to $408.8 million or 31.7% of net sales, compared with $402.2 million or 28.7% of net sales for fiscal year 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher depreciation and rent expenses due to the addition of 15 new stores, partially offset by lower total payroll and other operating expenses.
- Net loss was $(29.0) million compared to net income of $40.5 million in fiscal year 2022. Adjusted net loss was $(24.1) million compared to adjusted net income of $43.0 million in fiscal year 2022 (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).
- Adjusted EBITDA was $24.6 million compared to $97.9 million in fiscal year 2022 (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).
- Diluted loss per share was $(0.77) for fiscal year 2023, compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.00 in fiscal year 2022. Adjusted diluted loss per share was $(0.64) for fiscal year 2023 compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.06 in fiscal year 2022 (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).
Balance sheet and capital allocation highlights as of February 3, 2024:
- The Company ended the year with net debt of $122.9 million, comprised of $3.1 million of cash on hand and $126.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Inventory at the end of the year was $354.7 million.
- Total liquidity was $91.4 million as of the end of fiscal year 2023, comprised of $88.3 million of availability on the revolving credit facility and $3.1 million of cash on hand.
2024 Outlook:
During 2024, the Company will be providing guidance on an annual basis, versus its past cadence of quarterly guidance, as it focuses its efforts on returning to profitability. For fiscal year 2024, the Company expects net sales to be in the range of $1.15 billion to $1.23 billion and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $45 million to $65 million. The Company also expects capital expenditures for 2024 to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million, primarily consisting of technology investments relating to merchandising and store productivity. No new store openings are currently anticipated.
The Company has not reconciled expected adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2024 to GAAP net income because the Company does not provide guidance for net (loss) income and is not able to provide a reconciliation to net (loss) income without unreasonable effort. The Company is not able to estimate net (loss) income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity with respect to the charges excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
Jeff White, Chief Financial Officer of Sportsman’s Warehouse said, “Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, we expect to generate significant EBITDA and excess free cash flow in 2024 while at the same time investing in our business. During the fourth quarter we used our excess cash flow to reduce our line of credit by $59.4 million. Our continued focus on tightly managing our inventory, as well as costs throughout the organization, will allow us to further reduce our bank borrowings, and in doing so, reduce our interest expense.”
Conference Call Information:
A conference call to discuss fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023 financial results is scheduled for April 3, 2024, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The conference call will be webcast and may be accessed via the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.sportsmans.com.
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”) and that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”): adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines adjusted net (loss) income as net (loss) income plus expenses incurred relating to executive transition costs, costs related to the implementation of our cost reduction plan and a one-time legal settlement and related fees and expenses. The Company defines adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, a one-time legal settlement and related fees and expenses, costs related to the implementation of our cost reduction plan and executive transition costs. Beginning with the three months ended October 28, 2023, the Company no longer adds back new store pre-opening expenses to net (loss) income to determine Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of past periods has been conformed to the current presentation. Net (loss) income is the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA. 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. As noted above, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of fiscal year 2024 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts, exception provided under Item 10I(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K.
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 and are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. 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 (loss) earnings 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 and uses these additional measurement tools for purposes of business decision-making, including evaluating store performance, developing budgets and managing expenditures. 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. The presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results, cash flows or leverage will be unaffected by other unusual or non-recurring items.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our ability to deliver merchandise our customers need and expect for their outdoor adventures; our ability to achieve our goal to return the business to profitability and growth; our ability to reduce our bank borrowing; and our guidance for adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditure for fiscal year 2024. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “can have,” “could,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar terms and phrases. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and our management’s beliefs and assumptions. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our own operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that predicting the impact of known factors is very difficult, and we cannot anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. 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 many factors including, but not limited to: current and future government regulations relating to the sale of firearms and ammunition, which may impact the supply and demand for the Company’s products and ability to conduct its business; the Company’s retail-based business model which is impacted by general economic and market conditions and economic, market and financial uncertainties that may cause a decline in consumer spending; the Company’s concentration of stores in the Western United States which makes the Company susceptible to adverse conditions in this region, and could affect the Company’s sales and cause the Company’s operating results to suffer; the highly fragmented and competitive industry in which the Company operates and the potential for increased competition; changes in consumer demands, including regional preferences, which we may not be able to identify and respond to in a timely manner; the Company’s entrance into new markets or operations in existing markets, including the Company’s plans to open additional stores in future periods, which may not be successful; the Company’s implementation of a plan to reduce expenses in response to adverse macroeconomic conditions; impact of general macroeconomic conditions, such as labor shortages, inflation, rising interest rates, economic slowdowns, and recessions or market corrections ; and other factors that are set forth in the Company's filings with the SEC, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on April 13, 2023, and the Company’s other public filings made with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this release speaks only as of the date on which the Company makes it. 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. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
