- Net sales grew 2 percent, on top of 34 percent growth last
year
- Updates Fiscal 2022 Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA
Outlook
Torrid Holdings Inc. (“Torrid” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CURV), a
direct-to-consumer apparel, intimates, and accessories brand in
North America for women sizes 10 to 30, today announced its
financial results for the quarter ended July 30, 2022.
Lisa Harper, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Despite a
challenging macro environment that impacted demand industry-wide,
we delivered net sales growth of 2% in Q2, on top of last year’s
34% growth. Our team made notable progress on our priorities,
including clearing through excess inventory to appropriately set up
the second half of the year, and filling critical leadership roles.
While upgrades we made to our distribution platform caused
unanticipated headwinds during the quarter, we are now fully
operational and generating enhanced throughput and capacity.
Looking ahead, we are focused on executing on our key priorities to
deliver long-term growth for our shareholders.”
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter
- Net sales increased 2% to $340.9 million compared to the second
quarter of last year. Comparable sales1 increased 1% in the second
quarter, following an increase of 30% in the second quarter of last
year.
- Gross profit margin was 34.9% compared to 45.0% in the second
quarter of last year. Approximately 600 basis points of the decline
was due to higher discounts and promotions related to inventory
clearance activity compared to last year. The remainder of the
decline was primarily due to increased product and transportation
costs which were partially offset by pricing actions.
- Net income was $22.7 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to
net income of $38.8 million, or $0.35 per share in the second
quarter of last year. There was no adjustment to net income in the
second quarter of fiscal 2022, but for comparison purposes,
adjusted net income2 for the second quarter of last year was $39.1
million, or $0.36 per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA2 was $52.1 million, or 15.3% of net sales,
compared to $86.5 million, or 26.0% of net sales, in the second
quarter of last year.
- Repurchased $8.8 million of shares outstanding under share
repurchase program.
- Opened 5 Torrid stores in the second quarter and ended the
quarter with 627 stores.
Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second
quarter totaled $23.0 million. Total liquidity at the end of the
second quarter, including available borrowing capacity under our
revolving credit agreement, was $161.5 million.
Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal 2022 the Company
expects:
- Net sales between $290 million and $305 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA2 between $32 million and $38 million.
For the full year fiscal 2022 the Company now
expects:
- Net sales between $1.260 billion and $1.300 billion.
- Adjusted EBITDA2 between $160 million and $175 million.
- Capital expenditures of between $30 and $33 million reflecting
infrastructure and technology investments as well as approximately
34 new stores for the year.
The above outlook is based on several assumptions, including,
but not limited to, the macro challenges in the industry continuing
into fiscal 2022 as well as higher raw material and labor costs,
which are expected to be more pronounced this year. While
COVID-19-related restrictions have eased in recent months, a level
of uncertainty remains regarding potential supply chain disruption
during fiscal 2022. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional
information.

Notes
(1)
Comparable sales for any given period are defined as the sales
of Torrid’s e-Commerce operations and stores that it has included
in its comparable sales base during that period. The Company
includes a store in its comparable sales base after it has been
open for 15 full fiscal months. If a store is closed during a
fiscal year, it is only included in the computation of comparable
sales for the full fiscal months in which it was open. The
computation of comparable sales includes results from stores that
were temporarily closed due to COVID-19. Partial fiscal months are
excluded from the computation of comparable sales. Comparable sales
allow the Company to evaluate how its unified commerce business is
performing exclusive of the effects of new store openings. The
Company applies current year foreign currency exchange rates to
both current year and prior year comparable sales to remove the
impact of foreign currency fluctuation and achieve a consistent
basis for comparison.
(2)
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) are non-GAAP
financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for
additional information on non-GAAP financial measures and the
accompanying tables for a reconciliation to the most comparable
GAAP measures. The Company does not provide reconciliations of the
forward-looking non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA to the most
directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because the timing
and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully
and accurately estimate. For the same reasons, the Company is
unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable
information, which could be material to future results.
About Torrid
Torrid is a direct-to-consumer brand of apparel, intimates and
accessories in North America targeting the 25- to 40-year old woman
who is curvy and wears sizes 10 to 30. Torrid is focused on fit and
offers high quality products across a broad assortment that
includes tops, bottoms, denim, dresses, intimates, activewear,
footwear and accessories.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”), management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance measures
such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted
earnings (loss) per share for purposes of evaluating ongoing
operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We
believe that these non-GAAP operating measures, when reviewed
collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide useful
supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating
performance.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted
earnings (loss) per share are supplemental measures of our
operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented
in accordance with, GAAP and our calculations thereof may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss) plus
interest expense less interest income, net of other expense
(income), plus provision for less (benefit from) income taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and share-based
compensation, non-cash deductions and charges, and other expenses.
Adjusted net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) plus
remeasurement adjustments for share-based compensation, net of tax.
Adjusted earnings (loss) per share represents Adjusted net income
(loss) divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares
outstanding at the end of the period.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and
Adjusted earnings (loss) per share facilitate operating performance
comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of
certain items that vary from period to period without any
correlation to ongoing operating performance. We also use Adjusted
EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting
the overall expected performance of our business and for evaluating
on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such
expectations.
Further, we recognize Adjusted EBITDA as a commonly used measure
in determining business value and, as such, use it internally to
report and analyze our results and as a benchmark to determine
certain non-equity incentive payments made to executives. We use
Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share
to facilitate operating performance comparisons by isolating the
effects of share-based compensation that vary from period to period
and across our peer companies without any correlation to ongoing
operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted
earnings (loss) per share have limitations as analytical tools.
These measures are not measurements of our financial performance
under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as
alternatives to or substitutes for net income (loss), income (loss)
from operations, earnings (loss) per share or any other performance
measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss),
and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share should not be construed as
an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual
or non-recurring items.

arising from our use of social media, email and text messages;
increased competition from other brands and retailers; our reliance
on third parties to drive traffic to our website; the success of
the shopping centers in which our stores are located; our ability
to adapt to consumer shopping preferences and develop and maintain
a relevant and reliable omni-channel experience for our customers;
our dependence upon independent third parties for the manufacture
of all of our merchandise; availability constraints and price
volatility in the raw materials used to manufacture our products;
interruptions of the flow of our merchandise from international
manufacturers causing disruptions in our supply chain; our sourcing
a significant amount of our products from China; shortages of
inventory, delayed shipments to our e-Commerce customers and harm
to our reputation due to difficulties or shut-down of our
distribution facilities (including as a result of COVID-19); our
reliance upon independent third-party transportation providers for
substantially all of our product shipments; our growth strategy;
our leasing substantial amounts of space; our failure to attract
and retain employees that reflect our brand image, embody our
culture and possess the appropriate skill set; our reliance on
third-parties for the provision of certain services, including
distribution and real estate management; our dependence upon key
executive management; our reliance on information systems; system
security risk issues that could disrupt our internal operations or
information technology services; unauthorized disclosure of
sensitive or confidential information, whether through a breach of
our computer system or otherwise; our failure to comply with
federal and state laws and regulations and industry standards
relating to privacy, data protection, advertising and consumer
protection; payment-related risks that could increase our operating
costs or subject us to potential liability; claims made against us
resulting in litigation; changes in laws and regulations applicable
to our business; regulatory actions or recalls arising from issues
with product safety; our inability to protect our trademarks or
other intellectual property rights; our substantial indebtedness
and lease obligations; restrictions imposed by our indebtedness on
our current and future operations; changes in tax laws or
regulations or in our operations that may impact our effective tax
rate; the possibility that we may recognize impairments on
long-lived assets; our failure to maintain adequate internal
controls; and the threat of war, terrorism or other catastrophes
that could negatively impact our business, including as a result of
the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The outcome of the events described in any of our
forward-looking statements are also subject to risks, uncertainties
and other factors described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30,
2022 and in our other filings with the SEC. You should evaluate all
forward-looking statements made in this communication in the
context of these risks and uncertainties.
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our
operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed
assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable,
we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known
factors, and, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors
that could affect our actual results. We caution you that the
important factors referenced above may not contain all of the
factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure
you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or
anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will
result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the
way we expect.
The forward-looking statements included in this press release
are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. Our forward-looking
statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future
acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or
investments.

_______________
(A)
The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the second quarter compared to the
second quarter of last year was primarily driven by a $112.8
million decrease in share-based compensation expense due to an
increase in the Torrid Holding LLC equity value as of June 30,
2021, following the pricing of our IPO.
(B)
The change in the provision for (benefit
from) income taxes in the second quarter compared to the second
quarter of last year was primarily driven by an increase in the
amount of non-deductible items associated with share-based
compensation expense, relative to loss before provision for income
taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2021.
