Sears Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Dec. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears Holdings Corporation ("Holdings," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company")(NASDAQ: SHLD) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended October 31, 2015. As a supplement to this announcement, a presentation, pre-recorded conference and audio webcast are available at our website http://searsholdings.com/invest.
In summary, we reported:
- Domestic Adjusted EBITDA of $(280) million, excluding Seritage Growth Properties and joint venture rent, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $(296) million in the prior year third quarter, which is the fifth consecutive quarter of improved Adjusted EBITDA performance on a year-over-year basis;
- Net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $454 million ($4.26 loss per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $548 million ($5.15 loss per diluted share) for the prior year third quarter. Adjusted for significant items, we would have reported a net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $305 million ($2.86 loss per diluted share) for the quarter compared to a net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $288 million ($2.71 loss per diluted share) in the prior year quarter;
- Sales to Shop Your Way® members in Sears Full-line and Kmart stores were 75% of eligible sales for the third quarter;
- Kmart and Sears Domestic comparable store sales declined 7.5% and 9.6%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2015 with more than half of the decline coming from declines in apparel and consumer electronics, a lower margin category;
- Kmart's gross margin rate for the third quarter improved 40 basis points over the prior year third quarter, while Sears Domestic's gross margin rate declined 30 basis points from the prior year third quarter;
- The Company continues to demonstrate its financial flexibility to fund its continuing transformation and meet our obligations. The Company reduced its net debt position, excluding pension liabilities, by more than $2.0 billion from the prior year third quarter; and
- At October 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $1.3 billion of immediately available liquid assets consisting of $294 million in cash and $963 million of availability under its credit facility.
Edward S. Lampert, Holdings' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We remain focused on restoring Sears Holdings to profitability by concentrating on our best stores, rewarding our best members and pursuing our best categories through innovative solutions to product and service offerings. Through deliberate strategic actions, notably with respect to our promotional design and marketing spend, we have made meaningful progress in our transformation and reported a fifth consecutive quarter of improved year-over-year results. As expected, the results of these actions have led to comparable store sales declines despite an increase in profitability. At the same time, we recognize a lot of work remains and we have brought in a number of experienced leaders to drive our business forward with a plan to win as a member-centric integrated retailer. As we head into the fourth quarter, we have intensified our focus on our product offerings and promotions in order to enhance member engagement and provide our members with the best experience possible throughout the holiday shopping season."
Rob Schriesheim, Holdings' Chief Financial Officer, said, "During 2015, we have enhanced Sears Holdings' financial flexibility and achieved our objective of reducing our reliance on inventory as a source of financing with the completion of the rights offering and sale-leaseback transaction with Seritage Growth Properties which generated $2.7 billion in cash and the amendment and extension of the Company's $3.275 billion asset-based credit facility. These actions helped us reduce our total domestic net debt level by $2.0 billion from the prior year third quarter. The completion of the tender offer earlier this quarter for $936 million of our 6 5/8% Senior Secured Notes will reduce our annualized cash interest expense by $62 million. We intend to continue taking significant actions to alter our capital structure, as circumstances allow, to position Sears Holdings for success and profitability, which could include further reductions in debt or changes in the composition of our debt."
Financial Results
We had Domestic Adjusted EBITDA of $(280) million, excluding Seritage Growth Properties and joint venture rent, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $(296) million in the prior year third quarter. The terms of our leases with Seritage and the joint venture partners provide us with the ability to accelerate the transformation of our physical stores. We expect that our cash rent obligations will decrease significantly as space in these stores is recaptured.
Revenues decreased approximately $1.5 billion to $5.8 billion for the quarter ended October 31, 2015, compared to revenues of $7.2 billion for the quarter ended November 1, 2014, with a significant portion of the decline related to actions taken by the Company to streamline our operations and focus on our transformation into a member-centric retailer. The decrease in revenue included a decrease of $611 million associated with Sears Canada, which was de-consolidated in October 2014, and $358 million as a result of fewer Kmart and Sears Full-line stores. In addition, comparable store sales declined 8.6% during the quarter, comprised of decreases of 7.5% and 9.6% at Kmart and Sears Domestic, respectively, which accounted for $417 million of the revenue decline.
At Kmart, comparable store sales increased in the home appliances and mattresses categories, but were offset by declines in apparel, consumer electronics, grocery & household and drugstore. Excluding the impact of the consumer electronics business, which is a business we continue to alter to meet our members' needs, Kmart comparable store sales would have decreased 6.4%. Sears Domestic was also negatively impacted by the consumer electronics business. Excluding the impact of consumer electronics, Sears Domestic comparable store sales would have decreased 8.2%, primarily driven by decreases in apparel, lawn & garden, tools, footwear and Sears Auto Centers, which were partially offset by an increase in the mattresses category.
During the quarter, gross margin decreased $339 million due to the above noted decline in sales, as well as a decline in our gross margin rate. The decline in margin rate is primarily attributed to a decrease in occupancy leverage, partially offset by an improvement in overall product margin. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2015 included additional rent expense and assigned sub-tenant rental income of approximately $52 million as a result of the Seritage and JV transactions. The third quarter of 2015 also included a credit of $23 million related to the amortization of the deferred gain on sale of assets associated with the Seritage transaction, as well as charges of $6 million related to store closures. The third quarter of 2014 included gross margin of $154 million from Sears Canada, as well as charges of $41 million related to store closures.
Kmart's gross margin rate for the third quarter improved 40 basis points, with increases experienced in several categories, particularly drugstore, toys, electronics and apparel, driven by less clearance and promotional activity. Sears Domestic's gross margin rate decreased 30 basis points for the quarter with decreases experienced in home appliances and apparel primarily as a result of increased promotional activity, including an increase in Shop Your Way expense.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $381 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding significant items noted in our Adjusted Earnings Per Share tables, domestic selling and administrative expenses declined $207 million primarily due to decreases in payroll and advertising expenses.
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 was an expense of 3.2%, compared to an expense of 33.9% in the prior year quarter. The application of the requirements for accounting for income taxes in interim periods, after consideration of our valuation allowance, causes a significant variation in the typical relationship between income tax expense and pretax income. The third quarters of 2015 and 2014 were negatively impacted by foreign branch taxes and state income taxes. In addition, 2014 was negatively impacted by a valuation allowance established on Sears Canada's deferred tax assets in the third quarter, prior to de-consolidation.
The Company reported a net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $454 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $548 million for the prior year period. Net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 included significant items, which aggregated to expense of $149 million and $260 million, respectively. Adjusting for these significant items, we would have reported a net loss attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $305 million and $288 million in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Financial Position
The Company's cash balances were $294 million at October 31, 2015 compared with $250 million at January 31, 2015.
Domestic merchandise inventories at October 31, 2015 were $6.2 billion, compared to $6.5 billion at November 1, 2014, with the decline primarily being driven by store closures.
Since the first quarter of 2012, we have reduced our net inventory investment by approximately $1.6 billion. By reducing our inventory investment and our payables, we have decreased the level of vendor support needed to run our business, de-risking our business model in a way that benefits both us and our vendor partners.
Short-term borrowings totaled $686 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015 consisting of $677 million outstanding on our domestic credit facility and $9 million of commercial paper outstanding, as compared to $615 million at January 31, 2015, consisting of $213 million outstanding on our domestic credit facility, a $400 million secured short-term loan and $2 million of commercial paper outstanding.
At October 31, 2015, the amount available to borrow under our credit facility was approximately $963 million, which reflects the effect of our springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and the borrowing base limitation in our revolving credit facility.
Total long-term debt (long-term debt and capital lease obligations) was $2.2 billion and $3.2 billion at October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our net loss attributable to Sears Holdings' shareholders determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), Domestic Adjusted EBITDA, Domestic Adjusted EBITDA excluding Seritage/JV rent and Adjusted Earnings Per Share. The tables attached to this press release provide a reconciliation of GAAP to as adjusted amounts. We believe that our use of Adjusted EBITDA, Domestic Adjusted EBITDA, Domestic Adjusted EBITDA excluding Seritage/JV rent and Adjusted EPS provides an appropriate measure for investors to use in assessing our performance across periods, given that these measures provide adjustments for certain significant items which may vary significantly from period to period, improving the comparability of year-to-year results and is therefore representative of our ongoing performance. Therefore, we have adjusted our results for them to make our statements more useful and comparable. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you, solely use Adjusted EBITDA, Domestic Adjusted EBITDA, Domestic Adjusted EBITDA excluding Seritage/JV rent or Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance.
