It’s been over a year since we laid out our long-term growth targets with our initial public offering, and we continue to deliver against those objectives. We are opening stores in the mid-teens rate, growing comparable store sales, leveraging expenses, growing net income greater than 20%, building deeper vendor relationships, and gaining greater access to product. We know how to drive bottom line results through a balanced approach and consistent execution of our business model, and we have been doing it for the past 34 years. We think our strong third quarter results demonstrate this ability.”

Third Quarter Results
Net sales increased 15.7% to $202.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 from $174.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in net sales was driven by a 1.8% increase in comparable store sales and increased store count compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company opened 16 stores in the third quarter and ended the quarter with 232 stores compared to 200 stores at the end of the third quarter in fiscal 2015.
Gross profit increased 20.4% to $84.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 from $69.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and gross margin increased 160 basis points to 41.7% from 40.1% in the same respective periods. The gross margin increase was due to lower transportation and distribution costs as a percent of net sales.
Operating income increased 33.8% to $18.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 from $13.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. As a percent of net sales, operating income increased 120 basis points to 9.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Included in operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 are $586,000 of transaction related expenses incurred primarily in connection with the Company’s secondary stock offering on September 6, 2016. Excluding these transaction related expenses, Adjusted operating income(1) increased 38.0% to $19.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 from $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, and as a percent of net sales, Adjusted operating income increased 150 basis points to 9.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
Net income increased 54.7% to $10.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 from $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding the transaction related expenses described above, net of taxes, Adjusted net income (1) increased 60.0% to $10.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 from $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 34.0% to $23.6 million, or 11.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 from $17.6 million, or 10.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, non-cash purchase accounting items and transaction related expenses.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
The Company's cash balance as of the end of third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $36.0 million compared to $4.0 million at the end of third quarter fiscal 2015. The Company had no borrowings under its $100.0 million revolving credit and $98.3 million of availability under the facility at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal 2016 with total debt of $196.3 million compared to $232.0 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
Inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 13.3% to $240.8 million compared to $212.6 million at the end the third quarter of fiscal 2015, due primarily to new store growth.
Capital expenditures for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $4.3 million compared to $4.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

(2) Adjusted net income per diluted share is not a measure recognized under GAAP. For a definition of Adjusted net income per diluted share, please see the disclosures related to the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP tables elsewhere in this release. The $0.01 per diluted share difference between the guidance ranges for Net income per diluted share and Adjusted net income per diluted share reflects the transaction related expenses already incurred and reported for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016. The Company cannot predict future transaction related estimates without unreasonable effort and therefore excludes any such estimates from its Outlook.

Supplemental Information – Consolidated Adjusted Operating Income
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In thousands except for per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We have included the non-GAAP measures of Adjusted operating income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share in this press release as these are key measures used by our management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions. Management believes it is useful to investors and analysts to evaluate these non-GAAP measures on the same basis as management uses to evaluate the Company’s operating results. We believe that excluding items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude, from Operating income, Net income and Net income per diluted share, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.
The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted operating income to Operating income, Adjusted net income to Net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share to Net income per diluted share, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net income, in each case the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share give effect, net of tax, to transaction related expenses and loss on extinguishment of debt, which may not occur with the same frequency or magnitude in future periods. Adjusted operating income also gives effect to transaction related expenses. We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization expenses and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for non-cash stock based compensation expense, non-cash purchase accounting items, and transaction related expenses, which we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.
