YASTEST
Inventory Declines
8.8 % Over the Same Period Last Year
PLANO, Texas -
(Nov. 10, 2017) - J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE: JCP) today
announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended Oct.
28, 2017. Total net sales decreased (1.8) % to $2.81 billion
in the third quarter compared to $2.86 billion in the same period
last year, primarily the result of the 139 stores closed this year
through the end of the third quarter. Comparable sales
increased 1.7 % for the third quarter, resulting in a positive
two-year stack of 0.9 %.
Marvin R. Ellison, chairman and
chief executive officer said, "During the third quarter, we took
aggressive actions to clear slow-moving inventory, primarily
allowing for an improved apparel assortment heading in to the
Holiday season. While these actions had a negative short-term
impact on profitability in the third quarter, we firmly believe it
was the right decision for the Company as we transition into the
fourth quarter and fiscal 2018."
Ellison continued, "We are
encouraged that we delivered positive sales comps for the third
quarter. Our growth strategies and new apparel initiatives
led to sequential comp sales improvement in nearly all merchandise
categories in the third quarter, giving us confidence that our
overall strategy and transformation is beginning to take
hold. While we have more work to do, we remain focused on two
critical factors - to operate the business for growth and deliver
positive earnings. We're committed to making the right
strategic decisions to ensure we are providing our customers more
reasons to shop and experience JCPenney."
Home, Sephora, Footwear and
Handbags, Women's Specialty and Salon were the Company's top
performing divisions during the quarter. Geographically, the Gulf
Coast and Midwest were the best performing regions of the country.
For the third quarter, cost of
goods sold, which excludes depreciation and amortization, was $1.85
billion, or 66.0 % of sales, compared to $1.80 billion, or 62.8 %
of sales in the same period last year. This increase was primarily
driven by the liquidation of slow-moving inventory, higher shrink
rates and the continued growth in the Company's online and major
appliance businesses.
SG&A expenses for the quarter
declined $48 million to $840 million, or 29.9 % of sales, and
decreased 120 basis points as a percentage of sales compared to the
same period last year. These savings were primarily driven by
reductions in store controllable costs, marketing efficiencies and
corporate overhead.
For the third quarter, the
Company's net loss was ($128) million, or ($0.41) per share,
compared to a net loss of ($67) million, or ($0.22) per share in
the same period last year. This reduction was driven in large part
by increased cost of goods sold, restructuring charges associated
with the store closures and a charge related to settlement
accounting on the Company's pension plan.
Adjusted net loss was ($102)
million, or ($0.33) per share, for the third quarter this year
compared to an adjusted net loss of ($65) million, or ($0.21) per
share, last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third
quarter was $108 million compared to $174 million last
year.
A reconciliation of GAAP to
non-GAAP financial measures is included in the schedules
accompanying the consolidated financial statements in this
release.
Inventory at the end of the third
quarter 2017 was $3.37 billion, a decrease of 8.8 % compared to the
end of the third quarter last year, and down 5.7% on a comp store
basis.
Cash and cash equivalents at the
end of the third quarter were $185 million. The Company ended
the quarter with liquidity of approximately $2.0 billion.
Outlook
The Company's fiscal 2017 full
year guidance is as follows:
-
Comparable store sales: expected to be
-1.0 % to 0.0 %;
-
Cost of goods sold: expected to be up
100 to 120 basis points versus 2016;
-
SG&A dollars: expected to be down
1.0 % to 2.0 % versus 2016;
-
Adjusted earnings per share1: expected to
be a positive $0.02 to $0.08; and
-
Free cash flow: expected to be
$200 million to $300 million.
[1]
A reconciliation of non-GAAP forward-looking projections to GAAP
financial measures is not available as the nature or amount of
potential adjustments, which may be significant, cannot be
determined at this time.

Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in millions except per share data)
We report our financial information in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(GAAP). However, we present certain financial measures and
ratios identified as non-GAAP under the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) to assess our results. We believe
the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios is
useful in order to better understand our financial performance as
well as to facilitate the comparison of our results to the results
of our peer companies. In addition, management uses these
non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to assess the results of our
operations. It is important to view non-GAAP financial
measures in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, those
measures and ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have
provided reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP
measures to our non-GAAP financial measures presented.
The following non-GAAP financial measures are
adjusted to exclude restructuring and management transition
charges, the impact of our qualified defined benefit pension plan
(Primary Pension Plan), the (gain)/loss on extinguishment of debt,
the net gain on the sale of non-operating assets, the proportional
share of net income from our joint venture formed to develop the
excess property adjacent to our home office facility in Plano,
Texas (Home Office Land Joint Venture) and the tax impact for the
allocation of income taxes to other comprehensive income items
related to our Primary Pension Plan and interest rate swaps.
Unlike other operating expenses, restructuring and management
transition charges, the (gain)/loss on extinguishment of debt, the
net gain on the sale of non-operating assets, the proportional
share of net income from the Home Office Land Joint Venture and the
tax impact for the allocation of income taxes to other
comprehensive income items related to our Primary Pension Plan and
interest rate swaps are not directly related to our ongoing core
business operations. Primary Pension Plan expense/(income) is
determined using numerous complex assumptions about changes in
pension assets and liabilities that are subject to factors beyond
our control, such as market volatility. Accordingly, we
eliminate our Primary Pension Plan expense/(income) in its entirety
as we view all components of net periodic benefit expense/(income)
as a single, net amount, consistent with its presentation in our
Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe it is useful
for investors to understand the impact of restructuring and
management transition charges, Primary Pension Plan
expense/(income), the (gain)/loss on extinguishment of debt, the
net gain on the sale of non-operating assets, the proportional
share of net income from the Home Office Land Joint Venture and the
tax impact for the allocation of income taxes to other
comprehensive income items related to our Primary Pension Plan and
interest rate swaps on our financial results and therefore are
presenting the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1)
adjusted net income/(loss) before net interest expense, income tax
(benefit)/expense and depreciation and amortization (adjusted
EBITDA); (2) adjusted net income/(loss); and (3) adjusted
earnings/(loss) per share-diluted.

Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in millions)
Free cash flow is a key financial measure of our
ability to generate additional cash from operating our business and
in evaluating our financial performance. We define free cash
flow as cash flow from operating activities, less capital
expenditures, plus the proceeds from the sale of operating
assets. Free cash flow is a relevant indicator of our ability
to repay maturing debt, revise our dividend policy or fund other
uses of capital that we believe will enhance stockholder
value. Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial
measure under the rules of the SEC. Free cash flow is limited
and does not represent remaining cash flow available for
discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does
not deduct payments required for debt maturities, payments made for
business acquisitions or required pension contributions, if
any. Therefore, it is important to view free cash flow in
addition to, rather than as a substitute for, our entire statement
of cash flows and those measures prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
FREE CASH FLOW, NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURE:
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of
cash flow from operating activities, the most directly comparable
GAAP measure, to free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as
