Canada NewsWire

Comparable Sales Increased 7.9%
Net Revenue Increased 17.8%
Adjusted EBITDA Increased 24.8%
Net Income Increased 31.5%

VANCOUVER, July 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Aritzia Inc. ("Aritzia" or the "Company") (TSX: ATZ), a vertically integrated, innovative design house of exclusive fashion brands, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

"We are extremely pleased to have started the year with an exceptional quarter, as we delivered net revenue growth of 17.8% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 24.8%. This also marks our 19th consecutive quarter of comparable sales growth. Our consistent track record of profitable growth illustrates the strength of our powerful business model and the ability of our highly talented team to deliver across our strategic initiatives. The momentum in our U.S. business continued as our new and expanded boutiques and marketing efforts drove brand awareness leading new clients to discover Aritzia as a fashion brand destination." stated Brian Hill, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

Mr. Hill continued, "Looking ahead, we plan to build on this momentum as we advance our growth strategies. I am particularly excited that we are making accelerated strategic investments to enhance our omni-channel capabilities and elevate our client experience to a world class level. We are confident these investments, combined with our commitment to delivering beautiful, high-quality product and an aspirational shopping experience, will help us sustain long-term profitable growth."

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. Results and the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect the adoption of IFRS 16, "Leases" (IFRS 16), for the period ended June 2, 2019. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. To improve the comparability of underlying performance with periods prior to the Company's adoption of IFRS 16, Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2020 has been adjusted to exclude, in addition to other adjustments, the impact of IFRS 16. See "Non-IFRS Measures including Retail Industry Metrics" and "Selected Consolidated Financial Information".

Financial Results for the First Quarter

All comparative figures below are for the 13-week period ended June 2, 2019, compared to the 13-week period ended May 27, 2018.

Net revenue increased by 17.8% to $196.7 million compared to $167.0 million in the first quarter last year. Comparable sales(1) growth of 7.9% was driven by momentum in the Company's eCommerce business as well as positive performance across the Company's boutique network. Net revenue growth also reflects the addition of six new boutiques and three expanded or repositioned boutiques since the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Gross profit increased by 26.7% to $85.6 million. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16(2), gross profit increased by 18.1% to $79.8 million compared to $67.5 million in the first quarter last year. Gross profit margin, excluding the impact of IFRS 16(2),  increased 20 basis points to 40.6% compared to 40.4% in the first quarter last year due primarily to leverage from occupancy costs and ongoing sourcing initiatives, largely offset by a 130 basis point impact related to the weakening of the Canadian dollar compared to last year.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by 15.8% to $54.4 million. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16(2), SG&A expenses increased by 16.0% to $54.5 million compared to $47.0 million in the first quarter last year. SG&A expenses were 27.7% of net revenue, a decrease of 40 basis points from the first quarter last year due to leverage on fixed costs.

Other income was $1.3 million compared to other income of $3.0 million in the first quarter last year. Other income this quarter primarily relates to unrealized and realized operational foreign exchange gains of $1.1 million, and interest income of $0.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased by 24.8% to $35.4 million, or 18.0% of net revenue, compared to $28.4 million, or 17.0% of net revenue, in the first quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter this year excludes the favorable impact of IFRS 16 of $20.2 million and stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter last year excludes stock-based compensation expense of $3.8 million and unrealized foreign exchange gains on U.S. dollar forward contracts of $1.2 million.

Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $1.4 million to $2.4 million, compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter last year. This quarter's stock-based compensation expense primarily consists of $1.6 million in expenses related to the accounting for options under the new option plan and $0.6 million in expenses related to the accounting for options under the legacy option plan.

Net income increased by 31.5% to $16.2 million, compared to net income of $12.3 million in the first quarter last year.  The increase in net income during the quarter was primarily driven by the factors described above.

Adjusted Net Income(1) increased by 21.3% to $18.5 million compared to $15.2 million in the first quarter last year. Adjusted Net Income excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses on U.S. dollar forward contracts, net of related tax effects. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share(1) increased by 30.8% to $0.17 from $0.13 in the first quarter last year.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter totaled $35.8 million, compared to $122.3 million at the end of the first quarter last year.  Since the end of the first quarter last year, the Company used free cash flow to repurchase $107.0 million of subordinate and multiple voting shares concurrent with the March 2019 Secondary Offering, repay $43.7 million in long term debt, and repurchase $9.4 million in subordinate voting shares for cancellation under its prior normal course issuer bid, which was suspended in March 2019. The Company had $25.0 million drawn on its revolving line of credit at the end of the first quarter.

Inventory at end of the first quarter was $109.1 million, compared to $75.4 million at the end of the first quarter last year. The increase reflects the growth in our business and higher spring/summer inventory as compared to last year. A higher initial buy for the spring/summer season, coupled with the unseasonable weather we saw across most of North America this spring, contributed to this increase.

See also sections entitled "How We Assess the Performance of our Business", "Non-IFRS Measures including Retail Industry Metrics" and "Selected Consolidated Financial Information" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for further details concerning comparable sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, including definitions and reconciliations to the relevant reported IFRS measure.

See "Adoption of IFRS 16, Leases" above and "Selected Consolidated Financial Information" below for more information regarding the financial impact of IFRS 16 on the first quarter of fiscal 2020 results.

 

Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB")

In a separate press release issued today, the Company announced its intention to proceed with a NCIB through the facilities of the TSX to repurchase and cancel up to 3,624,915 of its subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 5.0% of the public float, during the 12-month period commencing July 16, 2019 and ending July 15, 2020.

Adoption of IFRS 16, Leases

The Company adopted IFRS 16, "Leases", replacing IAS 17, "Leases" and related interpretations, using the modified retrospective approach, effective for the annual reporting period beginning on March 4, 2019. As a result, the Company's results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 reflect lease accounting under IFRS 16. Comparative figures for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 have not been restated and continue to be reported under IAS 17, "Leases".  

The Company's financial reporting is impacted by the adoption of IFRS 16. Certain lease-related expenses previously recorded as occupancy costs are now recorded as depreciation expense for right-of-use assets and as interest expense for related lease liabilities. The depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while the interest expense declines over the life of the lease, as the liability is paid off.

Outlook

The Company expects positive comparable sales growth for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, driven by the Company's brand momentum and the sell-through of the aforementioned higher than usual end-of-season inventory. The flow through of the positive comparable sales may be impacted by higher markdowns and ongoing higher raw materials costs, resulting in lower gross profit margin for the second quarter compared to the same period of last year.

For fiscal 2020, the Company currently expects the following, which excludes the impact of IFRS 16 adoption:

  • Net revenue growth in the low double digits.
  • Six new boutiques in the U.S., including the Hudson Yards boutique in Manhattan that opened in the first quarter.
  • Three boutique expansions or repositions in Canada, including the repositioning of the Mapleview boutique in Greater Toronto that opened in the first quarter.
  • Gross profit margin to be moderately lower than fiscal 2019 due to higher markdowns on excess spring/summer inventory and ongoing higher raw material costs.
  • SG&A to grow faster than revenue, as the Company will continue to make strategic investments in technology and infrastructure to support its long term growth. A majority of the investments related to the Company's eCommerce platform improvements, omni-channel capabilities, digital selling tools and data analytics platforms are cloud-based and will be expensed in SG&A. Incremental SG&A expenses in fiscal 2020 related to these initiatives are expected to total $7 million to $8 million, and occur primarily in the second and third quarters.
  • Net capital expenditures in the range of $45 million to $50 million.

Overall, the Company remains on track to meet or exceed its stated fiscal 2021 performance targets.

See "Forward-Looking Information" below, and for additional information, please see the "Outlook" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

A conference call to discuss first quarter results is scheduled for Thursday, July 11, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. PDT / 4:30 p.m. EDT. A replay of the conference call can be accessed shortly after the conclusion of the call. To access the replay, please dial 1-855-669-9658 and use replay access code 3372.

Non-IFRS Measures including Retail Industry Metrics

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including certain retail industry metrics. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS measures including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Net Income", "Adjusted Net Income per diluted share", and "gross profit margin". This press release also makes reference to "comparable sales growth", which is a commonly used operating metric in the retail industry but may be calculated differently compared to other retailers. These non-IFRS measures including retail industry metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures including retail industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures including retail industry metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our MD&A. Such reconciliations can also be found in this press release under the heading "Selected Consolidated Financial Information".

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements made in this press release may constitute forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. These statements may relate to our future financial outlook and anticipated events or results and include, but are not limited to, expectations regarding the quality of our products and our channel-agnostic client experience, expectations regarding our technology and infrastructure, outlook for revenue growth and gross profit margin in fiscal 2020 as further described below, expectations regarding the Company meeting or exceeding its stated fiscal 2021 performance targets, and other statements that are not historical facts. Particularly, information regarding our expectations of future results, targets, performance achievements, prospects or opportunities is forward-looking information. As the context requires, this may include certain targets as disclosed in the prospectus for our initial public offering, which are based on the factors and assumptions, and subject to the risks, as set out therein and herein. Often but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "estimate", "plan", "could", "should", "would", "outlook", "forecast", "anticipate", "foresee", "continue" or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology.

Implicit in forward-looking statements in respect of the Company's expectations for positive comparable sales growth for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, driven by the Company's brand momentum and the sell-through of the aforementioned higher than usual end-of-season inventory, for the flow through of the positive comparable sales may be impacted by higher markdowns and ongoing higher raw materials costs, resulting in lower gross profit margin for the second quarter compared to the same period of last year, for fiscal 2020 to deliver low double digit revenue growth, as compared to fiscal 2019, are certain current assumptions, including, among others, the opening of six new boutiques in the U.S. including the Hudson Yards boutique in Manhattan that opened in Q1 2020, three boutique expansions or repositions in Canada including the repositioning of the Mapleview boutique in the Greater Toronto that opened in Q1 2020, gross profit margin is expected to be moderately lower than fiscal 2019 due to expected higher markdowns from more spring/summer inventory and ongoing higher raw material costs, SG&A to grow faster than revenue, as the Company will continue to make strategic investments in technology and infrastructure to support its long term growth, a majority of the investments related to the Company's eCommerce platform improvements, omni-channel capabilities, digital selling tools and data analytics platforms will be expensed within SG&A, incremental SG&A expenses related to these initiatives in fiscal 2020 are expected to be approximately $7 million to $8 million, and occur primarily in the second and third quarters, net capital expenditures in the range of $45 million to $50 million, assumptions regarding the overall retail environment and currency exchange rates for fiscal 2020. Specifically, we have assumed the following exchange rates for fiscal 2020: USD:CAD = 1:1.33.

This forward-looking information and other forward-looking information are based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Certain assumptions in respect of the expansion and enhancement of our boutique network; the growth of our eCommerce business; our ability to drive comparable sales growth; our ability to maintain, enhance, and grow our appeal within our addressable market; our ability to drive ongoing development and innovation of our exclusive brands and product categories; our ability to continue directly sourcing from third party mills, trim suppliers and manufacturers for our exclusive brands; our ability to build our international presence; our ability to retain key personnel; our ability to maintain and expand distribution capabilities; our ability to continue investing in infrastructure to support our growth; our ability to obtain and maintain existing financing on acceptable terms; currency exchange and interest rates; the impact of competition; the changes and trends in our industry or the global economy; and the changes in laws, rules, regulations, and global standards are material factors made in preparing forward-looking information and management's expectations.

Many factors could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements or future events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's annual information form dated May 9, 2019 for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2019 (the "AIF"). A copy of the AIF and the Company's other publicly filed documents can be accessed under the Company's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com. The Company cautions that the list of risk factors and uncertainties described in the AIF is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect its results. Readers are urged to consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions carefully in evaluating the forward-looking information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information.
