STAMFORD, Conn., September 9, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Lovesac Company (Nasdaq: LOVE) (“Lovesac” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, which ended August 1, 2021.

Shawn Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Across nearly every key operating metric, Lovesac’s quarterly results affirm the fundamental efficacy of our disruptive home furnishings model, the competitive advantages of our diversified supply chain and resulting strong in-stock positions, along with growing brand awareness. To that end, our very strong second quarter performance marks 14 consecutive quarters of 25%+ sales growth with profitability nicely ahead of expectations driven primarily by lower promotions and fixed cost leverage on this quarter’s 65% sales increase.”

Mr. Nelson continued, “The third quarter is off to a strong start and as we look to the second half of the year, we are confident in our ability to execute on our key strategic growth priorities and navigate the tight supply chain environment. With our strong positioning and unique competitive advantages, including our Circle-to-Consumer philosophy that will help us build long-term relationships with our most valued customers, we are very optimistic about the significant growth opportunities that lie ahead for Lovesac and our ability to drive value for all stakeholders.”

²Total comparable sales include showroom transactions through the point of sale and internet net sales.

³Comparable showroom sales reflect transactions through the point of sale and not necessarily product that has shipped to the customer. Product that has shipped to the customer is included in Net Sales. Showrooms were closed as required by local and state laws as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic effective March 18, 2020. As of the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, all showrooms had fully reopened to the walk-in phase, and remain open. We are abiding by federal, state and local guidelines with respect to the operating status of our showrooms.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended August 1, 2021:

●

The net sales increase of 65.4% was due to higher sales volume and lower promotional discounting, driving an increase in showroom sales of 387.1%, an increase in our “Other” channel which include pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops sales of 243.4%, partially offset by a decrease in internet sales of 36.0%. The increase in showroom sales was driven by an increase of 290.9% in comparable showroom sales with all showroom locations fully open in the current period versus the limited showroom operations in the prior year period due to COVID-19. The increase in sales in our “Other” channel was due to prior year closures of all pop-up-shop and shop-in-shop locations due to COVID-19 combined with an additional temporary online pop-up-shop on Costco.com. The decline in internet sales reflected the channel shift back to our showrooms that are now fully reopened.

●

Gross profit increased $28.0 million, or 90.1%, to $59.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2021 from $31.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2020. Gross margin increased to 57.6% of net sales in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2021 from 50.1% of net sales in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2020. The 749 basis points increase in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase of approximately 506 basis points due to lower promotional discounting, continuing vendor negotiations to assist with the mitigation of tariffs and continued shift of products from China to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Distribution expenses improved by 243 basis points over the prior year due to higher leverage of 793 basis points in warehousing and distribution costs, partially offset by the increase in inbound freight of 550 basis points due to escalating inbound container costs as well as some shift of inventory purchases back to China, which are impacted by the 25% tariff rate to help alleviate container congestion coming from our other overseas vendors.

●

SG&A expense as a percent of net sales decreased by 3.2% due to higher leverage within infrastructure investments, rent, insurance and selling related expenses, partially offset by deleverage in employment costs, equity-based compensation, and travel. The deleverage in certain expenses relate to the investments we are making into the business that were put on hold in the prior year relating to COVID-19 financial resilience measures and the acceleration of the expense related to equity-based compensation due to a triggering event in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

●

Advertising and marketing expense increased 81.9% due to the reinstatement of marketing spend with showroom locations fully open in the current period versus the limited showroom operations in the prior year period due to COVID-19. As a percent of net sales, advertising and marketing increased by 116 basis points due to increased media activities and higher media costs compared to the COVID-19 impacted marketing levels in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

●

Operating income was $9.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to an operating loss of $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Operating margin was 8.8% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to (1.7%) of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

●

Net income was $8.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to net loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Highlights for the First Half Ended August 1, 2021:

●

The net sales increase of 59.4% was due to higher sales volume and lower promotional discounting, driving an increase in showroom sales of 260.3%, and an increase in our “Other” channel which include pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops sales of 107.7%, partially offset by a decrease in internet sales of 28.2%. The increase in showroom sales was driven by an increase of 235.3% in comparable showroom sales with all showroom locations fully open in the current period versus the limited showroom operations in the prior year period due to COVID-19. Sales in our “Other” channel increased due to prior year closures of all pop-up-shop and shop-in-shop locations also due to COVID-19 combined with 2 additional temporary online pop-up-shops on Costco.com. The decline in internet sales reflected the channel shift back to our showrooms that are now fully reopened.

●

Gross profit increased $46.8 million, or 80.2%, to $105.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2021 from $58.3 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2020. Gross margin increased to 56.7% of net sales in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2021 from 50.2% of net sales in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2020. The 655 basis points increase in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase of approximately 457 basis points due to lower promotional discounting, continuing vendor negotiations to assist with the mitigation of tariffs and continued shift of products from China to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Distribution expenses improved by 198 basis points over the prior year due to higher leverage of 945 basis points in warehousing and distribution costs, partially offset by the increase in inbound freight of 747 basis points due to escalating inbound container costs as well as some shift of inventory purchases back to China, which are impacted by the 25% tariff rate to help alleviate container congestion coming from our other overseas vendors.

●

SG&A expense as a percent of net sales decreased by 6.6% due to higher leverage within infrastructure investments, selling related expenses, rent, insurance, equity-based compensation, and travel.

●

Advertising and marketing expense increased 54.4% due to the reinstatement of marketing spend with showroom locations fully open in the current period versus the limited showroom operations in the prior year period due to COVID-19. As a percent of net sales, advertising and marketing decreased by 41 basis points due to improved performance in our media activities which has driven an increase in net sales, higher Sactional sales mix and higher average selling price.

●

Operating income was $11.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2022 compared to an operating loss of $9.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2021. Operating margin was 6.1% of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2022 compared to (8.1%) of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2021.

●

Net income was $10.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2022 compared to net loss of $9.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2021.

Non-GAAP Information

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that is a supplemental measure of financial performance not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include management fees, equity-based compensation expense, write-offs of property and equipment, deferred rent, financing expenses and certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure within the schedules attached hereto.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of our business, facilitate a more meaningful comparison of our actual results on a period-over-period basis and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We have provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of our ongoing operations alongside GAAP measures such as gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss). Other companies in our industry may calculate these items differently than we do. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as a measure of financial performance, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
