HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2017
Changes in Management
As announced on October 27, 2017, the Company’s founder and former CEO, Robert Rucker, is serving as the interim CEO until the Company’s Board of Directors identifies a permanent replacement. Effective February 19, 2018, the Company appointed Cabell Lolmaugh as the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
Net Sales
Net sales grew 2.6% in the fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was due to net sales of $5.7 million from stores not included in the comparable store base, offset by a comparable store sales decrease of 4.9%, or $3.7 million. Full year 2017 net sales grew 6.3% compared to 2016. This was driven by 15 stores opened in 2017 and an increase of 0.5% in comparable store sales in 2017. Traffic weakened during the fourth quarter due in part to the Company’s shift in promotional strategy.
Gross Margin Rate
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2017 was 66.8% compared with 69.6% for the fourth quarter of 2016. Full year gross margin for 2017 was 68.5% compared with 70.0% in 2016. The gross margin rate decline for the fourth quarter was driven primarily by promotions and competitive pricing activity tied to orders initiated during third quarter that were closed in the fourth quarter and orders generated over the Black Friday weekend. Inventory control costs and product mix changes also contributed to the decrease in gross margin for the quarter. The gross margin rate decline for the year was primarily due to promotions and competitive pricing activity and product mix changes.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $56.1 million compared with $51.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The $4.4 million increase was driven by approximately $6.0 million of costs associated with opening and operating fifteen new stores. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2017 included $1.1 million of non-cash impairment charges and $0.9 million of incremental expenses related to work to identify and prioritize growth and expansion opportunities. The increase in expenses was partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in special charges related to litigation. Full year 2017 selling, general and administrative expenses were $210.4 million in 2017 and $194.0 million in 2016. The $16.4 million increase was primarily due to costs associated with opening and operating fifteen new stores during the year.
Tax and Tax Reform
Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $3.3 million compared with $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. For the year, the Company’s effective tax rate was 55.2% in 2017 and 41.1% in 2016. The increase in tax expense and the Company’s overall tax rate was primarily due to a $4.6 million charge taken during the fourth quarter to reduce the value of the Company’s deferred tax assets in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company anticipates an annual effective tax rate of approximately 26% to 28% in 2018.
Store Expansion
The Company opened four new retail stores in the fourth quarter of 2017, consisting of three Houston, TX area locations (The Woodlands, Houston, and Willowbrook) and its second location in the Orlando, FL market. As of December 31, 2017, the Company operated 138 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share. The dividend is payable March 16, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business March 5, 2018. The Company initiated its quarterly dividend in the first quarter of 2017.
OUTLOOK
The Company’s return to its historical focus on product, service, and presentation, rather than price, will likely result in continued volatility of comparable store traffic and sales in the near term. As a result, the Company is limiting its outlook to the following:
- Three new store openings in 2018 including one store in Hartford, CT that opened on January 19, 2018 and one store in Austin, TX that opened on January 31, 2018.
- Capital investment of approximately $27 to $32 million, including remodeling approximately 30 stores to support our product presentation strategy.
- Inventory investment of approximately 25% to 35% year over year, over the next several quarters, to support our product assortment strategy.
- SG&A expense increase of approximately $5 to $7 million to support our service strategy, including increased expenses for (1) the addition of regional sales leader positions, (2) sales and warehouse staff compensation, and (3) customer relationship management and content management capabilities. The $5 to $7 million increase in SG&A expense is incremental to the expected SG&A expense increases associated with a full year of operations for the fifteen stores opened in 2017 and the three new stores opening in 2018.
Longer term, the Company remains committed to achieving both Adjusted EBITDA margin and pretax return on capital employed of greater than 20%.
Non-GAAP Information
The Company presents non-GAAP (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA to provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s normalized operating performance.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $2.4 million compared with net income of $3.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. Full year non-GAAP net income for 2017 was $16.5 million compared with $23.1 million in 2016. Non-GAAP diluted loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $0.05 compared with $0.07 per share for the fourth quarter of 2016. Full year non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2017 was $0.32 compared with $0.45 per share in 2016. See the “Non-GAAP (Loss) Income Reconciliation” table and the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation and special charges, including shareholder and other litigation costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Non-GAAP net income excludes special charges related to tax reform and shareholder and other litigation costs, and is net of tax. The Company calculates pretax return on capital employed by taking income from operations divided by total assets net of non-interest bearing debt. Non-interest bearing debt includes accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, deferred rent and other long-term liabilities.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Company performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and the Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Company management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “plan”, “outlook”, and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters.

The Company does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
