Despite near-term challenges related to elevated supply chain costs
as well as the uncertainty with respect to the ongoing pandemic, we
are focused on the long-term, and I am confident in our ability to
position Tuesday Morning for future profitable growth.”
Given the lack of comparability to the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2020, due to actions the Company took related to
its reorganization under Chapter 11, as well as the impact from
temporary store and distribution center closures related to
Covid-19, this release includes a condensed review of fourth
quarter sales and inventory. Fourth quarter fiscal 2019 financial
results are also difficult to compare with fiscal 2021 due to the
significant reduction in store count and promotional activity
between the two periods.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results of
Operations (condensed)
- As of the end of the fourth quarter
fiscal 2021, the Company operated 490 stores compared to 714 stores
at the end of the fourth quarter fiscal 2019.
- Comparable store sales for the 490
stores that were open in 2021 and 2019 increased 1.2% compared to
the same period in fiscal 2019 despite store inventory ending down
34% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
Fiscal 2021 Results of
Operations
- Net sales were $690.8 million,
compared to $874.9 million for fiscal 2020.
- During fiscal 2021, 197 stores were
closed and two opened, for an ending store count of 490 as of June
30, 2021.
- Gross profit was $206.0 million
compared to $284.9 million for fiscal 2020. Gross margin for fiscal
2021 declined to 29.8% compared to 32.6% last year. The decrease in
gross margin was primarily driven by increased supply chain costs
and partially offset by improved merchandise margin due to a
reduction in promotional activity compared to the prior year.
- As a percentage of net sales,
SG&A was 35.3% compared to 37.8% in the same period last year.
SG&A was $244.2 million in fiscal 2021, compared to $330.6
million in the same period last year. The decrease in SG&A was
primarily due to lower store expenses on a smaller store base,
including a significant decrease in store rents for closed stores
and renegotiated rents for the ongoing store base. Labor costs and
depreciation were also lower on a smaller base.
- Operating loss was $49.0 million,
compared to operating loss of $159.2 million in fiscal 2020.
- Net income of $3.0 million, or
$0.05 per share, for fiscal 2021 compared to net loss of $166.3
million, or $3.68 per share, for fiscal 2020. The change in net
income compared to the prior year was driven by Restructuring and
Re-Organization items of $49.2 million net gain in fiscal 2021 and
a $117.1 million loss in fiscal 2020.
- Adjusted EBITDA was negative $20.3
million for fiscal 2021, compared to negative $15.4 million for the
prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP
measures is provided below.
The Company ended fiscal 2021 with $6.5 million
in cash and cash equivalents and $12.0 million outstanding under
its line of credit with availability on the line of $38.9 million,
compared to $46.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $0.1
million of outstanding borrowings under its line of credit in the
prior year. Inventories at the end of fiscal 2021 were $145.1
million compared to $114.9 million in the prior year.
Outlook First quarter fiscal
2022 comparable store sales are up low single digits
quarter-to-date compared to the similar period in fiscal 2020.
Due to the continued uncertainty of the current
environment, the Company is not providing financial guidance. The
Company does expect to report an Adjusted EBITDA loss for fiscal
2022, slightly improved from fiscal 2021, given the continued
headwinds from the industry wide supply chain dislocation. The
Company also expects to be net cash flow neutral during fiscal 2022
with sufficient capacity to cover its obligations and plans for the
fiscal year.

Tuesday Morning CorporationNon-GAAP
Financial MeasuresUnaudited
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe
define EBITDA as net income or net loss before interest, income
taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects
further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain
items, including certain non-cash items and other items that we
believe are not representative of our core operating performance.
These measures are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives
to net income or loss as a measure of operating performance. In
addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as a measure
of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered
in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as
an inference that our future results will be unaffected by such
adjustments. We believe it is useful for investors to see these
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures that management uses to
evaluate our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial
measures are included to supplement our financial information
presented in accordance with GAAP and because we use these measures
to monitor and evaluate the performance of our business as a
supplement to GAAP measures and we believe the presentation of
these non-GAAP measures enhances investors’ ability to analyze
trends in our business and evaluate our performance. EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and
other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. The
non-GAAP measures presented may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies.
The following table reconciles net earnings
(loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a non-GAAP financial
measure (in thousands):
