Burlington Stores, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Earnings

On a GAAP basis, total sales increased 9%
Net income was $31 million, and diluted EPS was $0.47
Comparable store sales increased 4%
On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted EBIT was $68 million and Adjusted EPS was $0.60, which included $0.03 per share of expense related to recently acquired Bed Bath & Beyond leases

BURLINGTON, New Jersey; August 24, 2023 — Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE: BURL), a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel, footwear, accessories, and merchandise for the home at everyday low prices, today announced its results for the second quarter ended July 29, 2023.  

Michael O’Sullivan, CEO, stated, “Our comparable store sales growth for the second quarter was 4%, which was at the high end of our guidance range, while margin and earnings performance were significantly ahead of our guidance. Our strategies to deliver great value to our customers are working, and we have been helped in the execution of these strategies by very strong availability of great off-price merchandise.”

He continued, “Looking at the Spring season as a whole, it is clear that the lower-income shopper, our core customer, is still under significant economic pressure. Based on the underlying year-to-date comp trend we are narrowing our full-year comparable store sales guidance to a range of 3% to 4% versus 2022. It is possible that the trend will strengthen in the back half of the year, and if it does, then we are confident that we can chase it.”

Mr. O’Sullivan continued, “Compared to our peers, we have a huge opportunity to expand our store count. We also have potential to improve our sales productivity and individual store economics with our smaller store prototype. Over the past several months there has been an opening up in the supply of great real estate locations, driven by retail bankruptcies. We are very pleased that we have recently been able to acquire the leases to 62 former Bed Bath & Beyond stores. These locations together with the broader loosening of real estate supply should significantly strengthen our new store and relocation pipeline for 2024 and potentially beyond.”

Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Operating Results (for the 13-week period ended July 29, 2023, compared with the 13-week period ended July 30, 2022)

Common Stock Repurchases

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 the Company repurchased 154,358 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program for $26 million.

2

 


 

Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500 million of common stock, which is authorized to be executed through August 2025.

Outlook

For the full Fiscal Year 2023 (the 53-weeks ending February 3, 2024), the Company now expects:  

Total sales to increase approximately 11% to 12%, which includes approximately 2% from the 53rd week, on top of a 7% decrease in Fiscal 2022; this assumes comparable store sales will increase in the range of 3% to 4%, on top of the 13% decrease during Fiscal 2022;
Capital expenditures, net of landlord allowances, to be approximately $560 million; 
To open 70-80 net new stores;
Depreciation and amortization, exclusive of favorable lease costs, to be approximately $310 million; 
Adjusted EBIT margin to increase 60 to 80 basis points versus last year; this adjusted EBIT margin increase includes approximately $21 million of expected incremental expenses associated with the recently acquired Bed Bath & Beyond leases. Excluding these incremental expenses, adjusted EBIT margin is expected to increase 80 to 100 basis points versus last year;
Net interest expense to be approximately $60 million; 
An effective tax rate of approximately 26%; and
Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $5.37 to $5.67, which includes $0.23 of expected incremental expenses associated with the recently acquired Bed Bath & Beyond leases and an expected benefit from the 53rd week of approximately $0.05. Excluding the incremental expenses, adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $5.60 to $5.90. This compares to Fiscal 2022 diluted EPS of $3.49 and Adjusted EPS of $4.26.

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2023 (the 13 weeks ending October 28, 2023), the Company expects: 

Total sales to increase in the range of 13% to 15%; this assumes comparable store sales will increase in the range of 5% to 7% versus the third quarter of Fiscal 2022;
Adjusted EBIT margin to increase 130 to 180 basis points versus the third quarter of Fiscal 2022; this EBIT margin increase includes approximately $10 million of expected incremental expenses associated with the recently acquired Bed Bath & Beyond leases. Excluding these expenses, adjusted EBIT margin is expected to increase 170 to 220 basis points;
An effective tax rate of approximately 26%; and
Adjusted EPS in the range of $0.86 to $1.01, as compared to $0.26 in diluted EPS and $0.43 in Adjusted EPS last year. This includes $0.11 per share of expected incremental expenses associated with the recently acquired Bed Bath & Beyond leases. Excluding these expenses, adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.97 to $1.12.

The Company has not presented a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures set out above to their most comparable GAAP financial measures because it would require the Company to create estimated ranges on a GAAP basis, which would entail unreasonable effort. Adjustments required to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty but

3

 


 

may include, among others, costs related to debt amendments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and impairment charges, as well as the tax effect of such items. Some or all of those adjustments could be significant.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The foregoing discussion of the Company’s operating results includes references to Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (or Adjusted EPS), Adjusted EBIT (or Operating Margin), and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The Company believes these supplemental measures are useful in evaluating the performance of our business and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. In particular, we believe that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what we consider to be our core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist investors and management in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods.  These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures later in this document.  

From time to time when discussing its comparable store sales trends, the Company references its geometric stack, which is defined as a stacked comparable sales growth rate that accounts for the compounding of comparable store sales from Fiscal 2019 to Fiscal 2023.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, all of which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) net favorable lease costs; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) costs related to debt amendments; (iv) impairment charges; (v) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (vi) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) costs related to debt amendments; (v) income tax expense; (vi) depreciation and amortization; (vii) net favorable lease costs; (viii) impairment charges; (ix) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (x) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Margin) is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) costs related to debt amendments; (v) income tax expense; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) net favorable lease costs; (viii) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (ix) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A less product sourcing costs, favorable lease costs and amounts related to certain litigation matters.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as the GAAP effective tax rate less the tax effect of the reconciling items to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (footnote (g) in the table below).

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what the Company considers to be its core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist investors and management in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable.
