NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kirkland's,
Inc. (NASDAQ: KIRK) today announced financial results for the
13-week and 52-week periods ended January
30, 2021.
"We are pleased to report record earnings for the fourth
quarter, which reflect the appeal of our merchandise assortments
with customers and the earnings leverage in the business from our
cost and infrastructure changes," noted Woody Woodward, Chief Executive Officer. "This
has been a year filled with challenges as a company, as individuals
and as a nation. I am proud of how Kirkland's team members embraced
the reinvention and innovation required of us during the pandemic.
Their commitment to our customers and to one another during this
period is inspiring and affirming. Their diligence also provides us
the confidence that we can achieve our vision for Kirkland's and
execute on our strategic priorities and financial goals. We are
ahead of where we expected to be when we originally outlined these
goals a year ago and the results speak for themselves, but we have
more work ahead of us to accomplish all that is possible at
Kirkland's. We are energized by these opportunities for continued
improvement."
Mr. Woodward continued, "We continue to carefully, deliberately
and strategically evolve Kirkland's into a value-oriented specialty
retailer. Our strategy has been to incrementally improve the
quality and design of our merchandise while maintaining our opening
price points and delivering value for our customers. Merchandising
will be front and center again for us in 2021, along with
leveraging the improvements in infrastructure and operating costs
and accelerating our ongoing digital transformation. With total
liquidity of $140 million at year
end, we are well positioned to fund the evolution of
Kirkland's."
Strategic Priorities and Financial Goals
Kirkland's key strategic initiatives include:
- Accelerating product development to reinforce quality and
relevancy as we continue the transformation of the Kirkland's brand
into a specialty retailer where customers are able to furnish their
entire home on a budget;
- Improving omni-channel via website enhancements, more focused
marketing spend, an expanded online assortment, and an in-store
experience that is aligned with our omni-channel capabilities;
- Improving the customer experience with our re-launched loyalty
program, extended credit options and broadened delivery options;
and
- Utilizing our leaner infrastructure to be nimbler in our
response to changes in consumer preference and buying
behaviors.
Kirkland's annual financial goals for the next two to three
years include:
- Improving comparable sales performance, driven by e-commerce
growth, merchandising, brick-and-mortar store productivity and
closure of underperforming stores. We expect e-commerce to
continue to grow as a percent of our total business, but also
intend to focus on improving the contribution of our remaining
store base, which is an integral part of our omni-channel strategy
and supports improved profitability of our e-commerce sales.
- Stabilizing gross margin by continuing with our current
discipline of limited promotional offers, expanding direct
sourcing, improving supply chain efficiency and reducing occupancy
costs. With improved merchandise quality and to support a
better customer experience, we will continue to move towards more
targeted promotions. Direct sourcing is expected to increase from
approximately 20% of purchases in 2020 to 40% to 50% over the next
two to three years. With these product margin improvements,
continued efficiencies in our supply chain and lower occupancy
costs, our goal is to improve our annual gross profit margin to a
mid-30% range over the next two to three years.
- Improving profitability by leveraging the leaner
infrastructure with comparable sales growth. We believe our
ideal store count should be in the range of 300 to 350 stores. We
believe there will be additional opportunities for more favorable
rent terms with ongoing lease renewals. With approximately
$45 million in annualized operating
expenses eliminated from the business, we expect to reach annual
EBITDA as a percent of sales in the high-single to low-double-digit
range and annual operating income in the mid to high-single-digit
range within two to three years.
- Maintaining adequate liquidity and generating free cash flow
while continuing to invest in key strategic initiatives of the
business and returning excess cash to our shareholders.
The key strategic initiatives and financial goals are based on
current information as of March 12,
2021, and are dependent on, among other things, consumer
preferences, economic conditions and our own successful execution
of these initiatives. The information on which these initiatives
and financial goals is based is subject to change, and investors
are cautioned that the Company may update the initiatives and
goals, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), this earnings release and the
related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating
income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted
earnings (loss) per share. These measures are not in accordance
with, and are not intended as alternatives to, GAAP. The Company
uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our
financial results and believes that they provide useful information
to analysts and investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in
evaluating our operational performance.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income or loss before
interest, provision for income tax, and depreciation and
amortization, adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA with non-GAAP adjustments
and adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss)
with non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines adjusted net income
(loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share by adjusting
the applicable GAAP measure for non-GAAP adjustments.
Non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information
