Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Tuesday Morning Corporation announced preliminary results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2020.

 

Comparable store sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2020, decreased approximately 20%.  Sales were impacted by lower store inventory levels, which averaged approximately 48% below last year over the quarter and decreased store traffic resulting from the continuing negative impact of COVID-19.  As of December 31, 2020, store inventory levels on a comparable store basis, were approximately 37% below last year.   The Company experienced elevated supply chain costs during the quarter, primarily driven by higher freight costs and other industry conditions.  The Company expects inventory levels to increase throughout the Spring and expects supply chain costs to remain elevated due to higher freight costs and other supply chain conditions.

 

The Company expects to file its second quarter fiscal 2021 Form 10-Q with the SEC on February 5, 2021. 

 

In the near term, the Company will not be providing any forecasts or guidance, and any prior forecasts or guidance should not be relied upon. 

 

As a result of our emergence from bankruptcy, the Company's “old” common shares no longer are trading in the over-the-counter market.  The last reported trade as of January 4, 2021 was $1.91 per share.  At least one market maker has filed a Form 211 with FINRA, which Form must be approved in order for trading to commence in the Company’s “new” common shares.  We cannot predict when this approval will be issued, but once the Form 211 has been approved, we expect trading to commence promptly.        

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On January 5, 2021, Kelly Munsch, the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer, resigned, effective January 15, 2021. Stacie Shirley, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will act as interim Chief Accounting Officer as the Company conducts a search for a permanent replacement.
