Tilly’s, Inc. (NYSE: TLYS, the "Company") today announced
financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 ended
August 3, 2024.
"While the macro environment remains challenging for our
customer demographic, we believe that our new pricing strategies
are gaining traction as evidenced by our second consecutive quarter
of improved product margins, and that we are beginning to drive
improved customer engagement through our refocused marketing
efforts," commented Hezy Shaked, Co-Founder and Interim President
and Chief Executive Officer. "We are encouraged to have started the
third quarter with a positive comp in fiscal August, representing
our first positive monthly comparable net sales result since
February 2022. However, we remain cautious in our third quarter
outlook as our business has begun to slow down following the peak
of the back-to-school season, consistent with the trend pattern in
recent years."
Operating Results Overview
Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Operating
Results Overview
The following comparisons refer to the Company's operating
results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 ended August 3, 2024
versus the second quarter of fiscal 2023 ended July 29, 2023.
- Total net sales were $162.9 million, an increase of $2.9
million or 1.8%, compared to $160.0 million last year, primarily
due to the calendar shift impact of last year's 53rd week in the
retail calendar, which caused a portion of the back-to-school
season's sales volume to shift into the latter stages of the second
quarter from the beginning of the third quarter last year. Total
comparable net sales, including both physical stores and e-commerce
("e-com"), decreased by 7.8% relative to the shifted 13-week period
ended August 5, 2023.
- Net sales from physical stores were $132.3 million, an increase
of $2.5 million or 2.0%, compared to $129.8 million last year, with
a comparable store net sales decrease of 7.9%. Net sales from
physical stores represented 81.3% of total net sales this year
compared to 81.1% of total net sales last year. The Company ended
the second quarter with 247 total stores compared to 246 total
stores at the end of the second quarter last year.
- Net sales from e-com were $30.5 million, an increase of $0.4
million or 1.3%, compared to $30.2 million last year. E-com net
sales represented 18.7% of total net sales this year compared to
18.9% of total net sales last year.
- Gross profit, including buying, distribution, and occupancy
costs, was $49.9 million, or 30.7% of net sales, compared to $44.3
million, or 27.7% of net sales, last year. Product margins improved
by 270 basis points primarily due to the combination of improved
initial markups and lower total markdowns. Buying, distribution,
and occupancy costs improved by 30 basis points collectively,
primarily due to carrying these costs against a higher level of net
sales this year.
- Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were
$50.8 million, or 31.2% of net sales, compared to $47.0 million, or
29.4% of net sales, last year. The $3.8 million increase in
SG&A was primarily attributable to increases in store payroll
and related benefits of $1.5 million due primarily to average wage
rate increases, digital marketing expenses of $0.7 million,
software as a service expense of $0.6 million, and corporate
payroll and related benefits of $0.5 million.
- Operating loss was $0.9 million, or 0.5% of net sales, compared
to an operating loss of $2.7 million, or 1.7% of net sales, last
year, due to the combined impact of the factors noted above.
- Pre-tax loss was $0.1 million, or break-even as a percentage of
net sales, compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.5 million, or 0.9% of
net sales, last year.
- Income tax benefit was $4.5 thousand or 6.2% of pre-tax loss,
compared to an income tax benefit of $0.3 million, or 23.2% of
pre-tax loss, last year. The decrease in the effective income tax
rate was due to an immaterial state tax benefit arising in a
quarter with a nearly break-even pre-tax loss.
- Net loss was $0.1 million, or $0.00 net loss per share,
compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.04 net loss per
share, last year. Weighted average shares were 30.0 million this
year compared to 29.8 million shares last year.
Fiscal 2024 First Half Operating Results
Overview
The following comparisons refer to the Company's operating
results for the first half of fiscal 2024 ended August 3, 2024
versus the first half of fiscal 2023 ended July 29, 2023.
- Total net sales were $278.7 million, a decrease of $4.9 million
or 1.7%, compared to $283.6 million last year, primarily due to a
decline in comparable net sales partially offset by the calendar
shift impact of last year's 53rd week in the retail calendar, which
caused a portion of the back-to-school season's sales volume to
shift into the second quarter this year from the beginning of the
third quarter last year. Total comparable net sales, including both
physical stores and e-commerce ("e-com"), decreased by 8.4%
relative to the shifted 26-week period ended August 5, 2023.
- Net sales from physical stores were $225.2 million, a decrease
of $2.5 million or 1.1%, compared to $227.6 million last year, with
a comparable store net sales decrease of 8.2%. Net sales from
physical stores represented 80.8% of total net sales this year
compared to 80.3% of total net sales last year.
- Net sales from e-com were $53.6 million, a decrease of $2.4
million or 4.3%, compared to $56.0 million last year. E-com net
sales represented 19.2% of total net sales this year compared to
19.7% of total net sales last year.
- Gross profit, including buying, distribution, and occupancy
costs, was $74.2 million, or 26.6% of net sales, compared to $70.3
million, or 24.8% of net sales, last year. Product margins improved
by 210 basis points primarily due to the combination of improved
initial markups and lower total markdowns. Buying, distribution,
and occupancy costs deleveraged by 30 basis points collectively,
despite being $0.6 million lower than last year, primarily due to
carrying these costs against lower net sales this year.
- Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were
$95.9 million, or 34.4% of net sales, compared to $90.2 million, or
31.8% of net sales, last year. The $5.7 million increase in
SG&A was primarily attributable to increases in store payroll
and related benefits of $2.5 million due primarily to average wage
rate increases, non-cash store asset impairment charges of $1.5
million, corporate payroll and related benefits of $1.0 million,
and software as a service expense of $0.9 million. These increases
were partially offset by a variety of smaller expense
decreases.
- Operating loss was $21.6 million, or 7.8% of net sales,
compared to an operating loss of $19.9 million, or 7.0% of net
sales, last year, due to the combined impact of the factors noted
above.
- Pre-tax loss was $19.7 million, or 7.1% of net sales, compared
to a pre-tax loss of $17.7 million, or 6.2% of net sales, last
year.
- Income tax benefit was $17.2 thousand or 0.1% of pre-tax loss,
compared to an income tax benefit of $4.6 million, or 25.9% of
pre-tax loss, last year. The decrease in the effective income tax
rate was primarily attributable to the continuing impact of the
valuation allowance.
- Net loss was $19.7 million, or $0.66 net loss per share,
compared to a net loss of $13.1 million, or $0.44 net loss per
share, last year. Weighted average shares were 30.0 million this
year compared to 29.8 million shares last year.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of August 3, 2024, the Company had $76.7 million of cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt outstanding,
compared to $104.3 million and no debt outstanding as of July 29,
2023. Total inventories increased 4.1% as of August 3, 2024
compared to July 29, 2023. Total year-to-date capital expenditures
at the end of the second quarter were $4.6 million this year
compared to $6.3 million last year.
Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Outlook
Total comparable net sales for fiscal August ended August 31,
2024, increased by 1.0% relative to the comparable four-week period
last year. Due to the impact of the 53rd week in last year's retail
calendar, total net sales for this year's third quarter will start
with an $18.4 million deficit in net sales compared to last year's
third quarter as a result of a large back-to-school net sales week
shifting into the end of the second quarter this year from what was
in the beginning of the third quarter last year. Based on this
timing shift, current quarter-to-date comparable net sales results
and current and historical trends, the Company currently estimates
the following for the third quarter of fiscal 2024:
- Net sales to be in the range of approximately $140 million to
$146 million, translating to an estimated comparable net sales
decrease in the range of approximately (6)% to (2)%, respectively,
relative to the comparable 13-week period last year;
- SG&A expenses to be approximately $49 million before
factoring in any potential non-cash store asset impairment charges
which may arise;
- Pre-tax loss and net loss to be in the range of approximately
$(11.6) million to $(8.7) million, respectively, with a near-zero
effective income tax rate due to the continuing impact of a full,
non-cash valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and
- Per share results to be in the range of a net loss of $(0.39)
to $(0.29), respectively, with estimated weighted average shares of
approximately 30 million.
The Company currently expects to have 246 total stores open at
the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 249 at the
end of last year's third quarter.
