MONTREAL, Dec. 4, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Dollarama Inc. (TSX:
DOL) ("Dollarama" or the "Corporation") today reported increases in
sales, net earnings and earnings per common share for the third
quarter ended November 3, 2019.
Diluted net earnings per common share rose 10.0% to $0.44.
Financial and Operating Highlights
All comparative figures that follow are for the third quarter
ended November 3, 2019 compared to
the third quarter ended October 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").
These results and the Corporation's unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements reflect the adoption of
IFRS 16, "Leases", on February
4, 2019, and all comparative figures for the corresponding
period of the prior fiscal year have been restated (see table on
page 4 for more information).
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 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. Fiscal 2019 was comprised of
53 weeks.
Compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2019:
- Sales increased by 9.6% to $947.6
million;

million, or 22.4% of sales, compared to 23.6%(2)
of sales; and

$0.44 from $0.40(2).

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Corporation opened
21 net new stores, compared to 14 net new stores during the
corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
"I am very pleased with our strong top line performance through
the first nine months of Fiscal 2020, reflecting the strength of
our business model and the continued appeal of our concept to
consumers across Canada. Based on
our performance to date, we are narrowing our underlying full-year
comparable store sales assumption to 4.0% to 4.5%, the top end of
the previously disclosed range," said President and Chief Executive
Officer, Neil Rossy.
"We are also meeting our growth objectives with 21 net new
stores opened in the third quarter and the upcoming completion of
our distribution centre expansion project. Looking towards the
fourth quarter, we are on track to open 60 to 70 net new stores by
fiscal year-end and to meet our Fiscal 2020 financial guidance on
key metrics, which remains unchanged since the last update on
September 12, 2019," added Mr.
Rossy.
"Finally, our quarterly results now include our share of
Dollarcity's net earnings. The Dollarcity team continues to pursue
its growth objectives with discipline and success, and I am very
excited by the long-term potential of our second growth platform,"
concluded Mr. Rossy.
Financial Results
Sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2020 increased by 9.6% to
$947.6 million, compared to
$864.3 million in the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Continued organic
sales growth was fuelled by balanced growth in both comparable
store sales and in the total number of stores over the past
12 months, from 1,192 stores on October
28, 2018 to 1,271 stores on November
3, 2019.
Comparable store sales grew 5.3% in the third quarter of Fiscal
2020, over and above comparable store sales growth of 3.1% in the
same quarter a year ago. Comparable store sales growth for the
third quarter of Fiscal 2020 consisted of a 2.8% increase in
average transaction size, driven in part by an increase in the
number of units per basket, and a 2.4% increase in the number of
transactions. This increase is mainly driven by ongoing in-store
merchandising initiatives, as well as the positive impact of the
calendar shift caused by a 52-week fiscal year in Fiscal 2020
following a 53-week fiscal year in Fiscal 2019, with three
additional Halloween shopping days falling in the third quarter of
2020 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2019.
Gross margin was 43.7% of sales in the third quarter of Fiscal
2020, compared to 44.3% of sales in the third quarter of
Fiscal 2019. Gross margin is lower primarily due to a slight
decrease in the product margin and higher sales of lower margin
items, as well as higher logistics costs.
General, administrative and store operating expenses
("SG&A") for the third quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $142.2 million, compared to $120.7 million for the third quarter of Fiscal
2019. This increase is primarily related to the continued growth in
the total number of stores. SG&A for the third quarter of
Fiscal 2020 represented 15.0% of sales, compared to 14.0% of
sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2019. The 1.0% increase
is mainly the result of the timing of certain expenditures and of a
slight increase in labour costs, due to wage increases and to the
fiscal year calendar shift with Halloween packaway falling in the
third quarter this year.
For the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Corporation's
50.1% share of Dollarcity's net earnings for the period from
August 14, 2019, the closing date of
the acquisition, to September 30,
2019, the end date of Dollarcity's third quarter, was
$1.7 million. The Corporation is
accounting for its investment in Dollarcity as a joint arrangement
using the equity method.
Net financing costs increased by $2.5 million, from $22.7 million for the third quarter of
Fiscal 2019 to $25.2 million for the third quarter of
Fiscal 2020. The increase is mainly due to an increase in
average borrowings on long-term debt, and net financing costs also
include costs related to lease liabilities as calculated under IFRS
16 for both periods.
Other income includes a one-time, non-recurring gain of
$2.8 million, or $2.1 million after tax, representing the
difference between the fair value of the call option to purchase
50.1% of Dollarcity's issued and outstanding shares and the
estimated purchase price of this investment as at August 14, 2019, the closing date of the
acquisition.
Net earnings increased to $138.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, in the third
quarter of Fiscal 2020, compared to $132.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share, in the third
quarter of Fiscal 2019. This increase in net earnings is
mainly the result of a 9.6% increase in sales, the inclusion
of the Corporation's share of Dollarcity's net earnings and
the one-time, non-recurring gain on the call option, partially
offset by lower margins and higher SG&A as a percentage of
sales. Earnings per common share were also positively impacted by
the repurchase of shares through the Corporation's normal course
issuer bid over the past 12 months.
Dollarcity – Estimated Purchase Price Accounting and Network
Growth Update
On August 14, 2019, the
Corporation made an upfront payment of US$40.0 million ($52.8
million) as a result of its acquisition of a 50.1% interest
in Latin American value retailer Dollarcity. The total estimated
purchase price of US$92.7 million
($122.1 million), as at November 3, 2019, represents 50.1% of a
five-times multiple of Dollarcity's estimated EBITDA for the
12-month period ending June 30, 2020,
minus net debt and subject to other adjustments. The purchase price
estimate is based on financial projections, whereas the final
purchase price will be based on audited financial statements. As at
November 3, 2019, the estimated
balance of the purchase price of US$52.7
million ($69.3 million) was
recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and will be
due, subject to final adjustments, in the third quarter of the
Corporation's next fiscal year ending
January 31, 2021.
The results for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 will include
the Corporation's 50.1% share of Dollarcity's net earnings for a
full quarter, from October 1 to December 31,
2019. Dollarcity is performing as expected and the
Corporation continues to anticipate Dollarcity to contribute
between $0.02 and $0.03 to its Fiscal 2020 diluted net earnings per
share, excluding the one-time gain on the call option.
At its latest quarter ended September 30,
2019, Dollarcity operated 210 stores, with 104 locations in
Colombia, 48 in El Salvador and 58 in Guatemala. This compares to a total of 169
stores as at December 31, 2018. Based on its performance to
date, Dollarcity expects to meet and slightly surpass its annual
target of 40 to 50 net new stores for calendar year 2019.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
On July 3, 2019, the Corporation
announced the renewal of its normal course issuer bid and the
approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to repurchase for
cancellation up to 15,737,468 common shares, representing 5.0% of
the common shares issued and outstanding as at the close of markets
on July 2, 2019, during the 12‑month period from
July 5, 2019 to July 4, 2020 (the "2019-2020 NCIB").
During the quarter ended November 3,
2019, a total of 2,772,340 common shares were repurchased
for cancellation under the 2019-2020 NCIB, for a total cash
consideration of $129.8 million.
Dividend
On December 4, 2019, the
Corporation announced that its board of directors had approved a
quarterly cash dividend for holders of its common shares of
$0.044 per common share. The
Corporation's quarterly cash dividend will be paid on February 7, 2020 to shareholders of record at the
close of business on January 10, 2020 and is designated
as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian tax purposes.
Distribution Capacity Expansion Update
The expansion of the Corporation's Montreal-area distribution centre, underway
since March 2018, is nearly complete
and continues to proceed on time and on budget. The expanded
distribution centre is now operational and remaining work will be
completed, as planned, before the end of calendar 2019. The
distribution centre will comfortably support Dollarama's long-term
growth plans of 1,700 stores across Canada by 2027.
Adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases
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. The Corporation has applied IFRS 16 to the
Fiscal 2020 quarterly unaudited condensed interim consolidated
financial statements using the full retrospective approach and has
therefore restated comparative information for Fiscal 2019, as
if IFRS 16 had always been in effect.
The Corporation's financial reporting is impacted by the
adoption of IFRS 16. Certain lease-related expenses previously
recorded in occupancy costs are now recorded as a depreciation
expense for right-of-use assets and as an interest expense for
related lease liabilities. The depreciation expense is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while the
interest expense declines over the life of the lease, as the
liability is paid off.
The table below sets out the impact of the change in accounting
policy in the quarter ended November 3, 2019 and the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The guidance ranges for Fiscal 2020 are based on a number of
assumptions, including the following:
- comparable store sales growth in the range of 4.0% to 4.5%,
narrowed from the previous range of 3.5% to 4.5% disclosed on
September 12, 2019 based on the
comparable store sales trend for the year to date;
- the inclusion of the Corporation's share of net earnings of
equity-accounted investments, assuming sales of approximately
US$333.0 million and EBITDA of
approximately US$50.0 million for
Dollarcity for the calendar year 2019;
- the number of signed offers to lease and store pipeline for the
next three 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.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release about our current and
future plans, expectations and intentions, results, levels of
activity, performance, goals or achievements or any other future
events or developments constitute forward-looking statements. The
words "may", "will", "would", "should", "could", "expects",
"plans", "intends", "trends", "indications", "anticipates",
"believes", "estimates", "predicts", "likely" or "potential" or the
negative or other variations of these words or other comparable
words or phrases, are intended to identify forward-looking
statements.
Forward-looking statements include, without limitation,
statements relating to the financial performance of
Dollarcity, the estimated purchase price to be paid by the
Corporation for a 50.1% interest in Dollarcity and the
accretive impact of the Dollarcity transaction on the Corporation's
earnings.
Forward-looking statements are based on information currently
available to management and on estimates and assumptions made by
management regarding, among other things, general economic
conditions and the competitive environment within the retail
industry in Canada and in
Latin America, in light of its
experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions
and expected future developments, as well as other factors that are
believed to be appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances.
However, there can be no assurance that such estimates and
assumptions will prove to be correct. 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
the factors which are discussed in greater detail in the "Risks and
Uncertainties" section of the Corporation's annual management's
discussion and analysis and its annual information form for Fiscal
2019, both available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of
the factors that could affect the Corporation or Dollarcity;
however, they should be considered carefully. The purpose of the
forward-looking statements is to provide the reader with a
description of management's expectations regarding the
Corporation's and Dollarcity's financial performance and may not be
appropriate for other purposes. Readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements made herein. Furthermore,
unless otherwise stated, the forward-looking statements contained
in this press release are made as at December 4, 2019 and we have no intention and
undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by law.
The financial outlook for Dollarcity for the calendar year 2019,
used to estimate the accretive impact of the transaction on the
Corporation's earnings, and for the 12‑month period ending
June 30, 2020, used specifically to
calculate the estimated purchase price for the Dollarcity
transaction, constitute forward-looking statements. They are based
on financial projections and are subject to risks and uncertainties
similar to those identified above.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release
are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

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.
