HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLLI) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 29, 2023.

Second Quarter Summary:

Total net sales increased 13.7% to $514.5 million.
Comparable store sales increased 7.9% from the prior year increase of 1.2%.
The Company opened six new stores, ending the quarter with 482 stores in 29 states, a year-over-year increase in store count of 7.3%.
Operating income increased 217.5% to $52.5 million and operating margin increased 650 basis points to 10.2%.
Net income increased 199.2% to $42.2 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $14.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ increased 205.5% to $41.7 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, as compared with prior year adjusted net income of $13.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ increased 146.7% to $64.0 million and adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾ increased 670 basis points to 12.4%.

⁽¹⁾As used throughout this release, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please see the accompanying financial tables which reconcile our comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP measures.

“We feel very good about the current trends and momentum of our business. With over 40 years of closeout buying experience and growing relationships across the industry, we are seeing very strong deal flow, and our customers are clearly responding. In the second quarter, comparable store sales increased 7.9%, with nearly 70% of our product categories contributing to the increase. On top of the strong deal flow, changes to our marketing program and investments in our people and supply chain are driving better execution and an even more exciting shopping experience for our customers. This is raising productivity levels across the organization, which contributed to the more than doubling of our adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter to 12.4% of sales,” said John Swygert, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Given the better than expected performance in the second quarter and continued momentum in our business, we are raising our full-year guidance and remain confident in our ability to return to our long-term algorithm of double-digit sales growth, 40% gross margin, and double-digit EBITDA growth,” Mr. Swygert concluded.

Second Quarter Results

Net sales increased 13.7% to $514.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared with net sales of $452.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in net sales was the result of new store unit growth in addition to a comparable store sales increase of 7.9%.

Gross profit increased 37.0% to $196.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $143.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross margin increased 650 basis points to 38.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 31.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to favorable supply chain costs as well as higher merchandise margins.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 13.6% to $134.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $118.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher selling expenses related to new store openings and higher incentive compensation. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A remained flat at 26.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily the result of higher incentive compensation, offset by the leverage of fixed expenses on the increase in comparable store sales.

Pre-opening expenses for new stores decreased to $2.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $3.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to timing of new stores, partially offset by the impact of incremental investments in our store remodel program.

Operating income increased 217.5% to $52.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $16.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Operating margin increased 650 basis points to 10.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 3.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net income increased 199.2% to $42.2 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with net income of $14.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ increased 205.5% to $41.7 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $13.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾increased 146.7% to $64.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $25.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾ increased 670 basis points to 12.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 5.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $310.2 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with cash and cash equivalents of $218.0 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $100 million revolving credit facility and $91.6 million of availability under the facility as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company ended the period with total borrowings, consisting solely of finance lease obligations, of $1.7 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased 276,758 shares of its common stock for $16.7 million. As of the end of the second quarter, the Company had $109.2 million of remaining capacity under its current share repurchase program.

Inventories as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 0.8% to $498.3 million compared with $494.1 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022, driven by new store growth, partially offset by the impact of lower capitalized freight costs and normalization of lead times on our in-transit inventory, partially offset by new store unit growth.

Capital expenditures were $26.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily related to the development of new stores, the remodeling of existing stores, the completion of the Company’s distribution center expansion in York, PA, and the development of the Company’s new distribution center in Princeton, IL.

Supplemental Information

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in thousands)

(Unaudited)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. We have included the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per diluted share in this press release as these are key measures used by our management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions. Management believes it is useful to investors and analysts to evaluate these non-GAAP measures on the same basis as management uses to evaluate the Company’s operating results. We believe that excluding items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude from net income and net income per diluted share, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.

The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP financial measures: net income to adjusted net income, net income per diluted share to adjusted net income per diluted share, and net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, which may not occur with the same frequency or magnitude in future periods. We define EBITDA as net income before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.
