COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Lots, Inc. (NYSE: BIG) today reported a consolidated loss from continuing operations of $9.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended November 2, 2013, which compares to a consolidated loss from continuing operations of $6.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. This year's result includes an after tax gain on the sale of real estate of $2.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, and an after tax loss for our wholesale operations of $2.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 1.6% to $1,152.4 million, compared to consolidated net sales of $1,134.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2012. Consolidated comparable store sales decreased 2.5%.

As a reminder, we recently announced our intention to close our wholesale operations in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, at which time it will be treated as discontinued operations. Excluding the real estate gain and wholesale loss, our third quarter adjusted consolidated loss from continuing operations totaled $9.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share (non-GAAP), which compares to last year's third quarter adjusted consolidated loss from continuing operations of $6.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share (non-GAAP). Adjusted consolidated net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 1.6% to $1,143.2 million (non-GAAP), compared to adjusted consolidated net sales of $1,124.9 million (non-GAAP) for the same period of fiscal 2012. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP amounts to the most comparable GAAP amounts is provided later in this release.
For the year-to-date period ended November 2, 2013, income from continuing operations totaled $40.9 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $56.9 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Excluding the after tax gain on the sale of real estate noted above, the after tax year-to-date loss for our wholesale operations of $2.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and the after tax non-recurring store-related legal settlement activity of $2.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, adjusted consolidated income from continuing operations for the year-to-date period ended November 2, 2013 totaled $44.4 million, or $0.77 per diluted share (non-GAAP). This result compared to adjusted consolidated income from continuing operations of $60.2 million, or $0.98 per diluted share (non-GAAP), for the same period in fiscal 2012.

Inventory and Cash Management
On a consolidated basis, inventory ended the third quarter of fiscal 2013 at $1,238 million, compared to $1,191 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The growth in inventory was driven by an increase in U.S. store count, and a 2% increase in inventory per store in our U.S. stores.
We ended the third quarter of fiscal 2013 with $68 million of cash and cash equivalents and $324 million of borrowings under our credit facility, compared to $66 million of cash and cash equivalents and $463 million of borrowings under our credit facility as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Our use of cash generated by our U.S. operations during the last 12 months was focused on repaying debt and funding our Canadian operations.
PLAN TO CLOSE CANADIAN OPERATIONS
As our new management team develops a comprehensive, long-range strategic plan, we have been conducting a detailed evaluation of our current operations and business prospects. As part of this evaluation and after careful exploration of available options, we have decided to exit the unprofitable Canadian market, where we currently operate 73 stores under the Liquidation World or LW brand names, 5 stores under the Big Lots brand name, 2 distribution centers, and an office. We intend to begin an orderly wind-down process immediately and expect that principal operations will cease during the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
We acquired a struggling Canadian business in July 2011 with the intention of revitalizing it and using it as the base for bringing extreme value merchandising and the Big Lots brand to customers in Canada. Over the last two years, we have invested in this business and our team in Canada has worked diligently to turn it around. However, we have not been able to gain the necessary traction in the Canadian marketplace that had originally been anticipated and believe that the significant further capital investments and execution risk associated with continuing to pursue a turnaround would not be in the best interests of our company and shareholders. While the strategic and financial rationale supporting this decision is clear, we regret the impact that the closings will have on our associates, our customers and the communities in Canada where our stores, distribution centers, and office are located. We are committed to exiting our operations in a thoughtful and deliberate manner in order to minimize disruption for our associates and customers.
Our new management team remains focused on identifying the best opportunities in the U.S. to serve our target customer in a manner that brings value to our customers, shareholders and associates. The strategic decision to exit Canada will enable us to focus our resources on introducing e-commerce and omnichannel capabilities, rolling out coolers and freezers to our chain of stores, launching a furniture financing program, significantly realigning our merchandising organization, and moving swiftly to implement our "edit to amplify" merchandising strategy. These bold steps forward all possess the singularly focused goal of strengthening the Big Lots brand and reinvigorating our U.S. business.
Looking forward, we expect to cease operations of our distribution centers in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, and we expect to cease operations of our stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we anticipate a loss from Canadian operations in the range of $38 to $43 million, or $0.65 to $0.75 per diluted share. This estimate includes a charge in the range of $32 to $34 million, related to severance, lease liabilities, and asset impairment (inventory, fixed assets, and goodwill). For the full year of fiscal 2013, we anticipate a loss from operations in the range of $52 to $57 million, or $0.90 to $0.98 per diluted share.
Given we expect to close all store locations during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we plan to begin reporting our Canadian business as discontinued operations beginning at that time. For the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we anticipate a loss from discontinued operations in the range of $44 to $47 million, or $0.75 to $0.80 per diluted share.
Our estimates for our Canadian business performance exclude any potential income tax effect, and have been factored into our revised company outlook for fiscal 2013.
2013 OUTLOOK
- Updates Q4 guidance for adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations of $1.40 to $1.55 per diluted share (non-GAAP) versus adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations of $2.08 per diluted share (non-GAAP) for fiscal 2012
- Updates fiscal 2013 annual guidance for adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations to $2.40 to $2.55 per diluted share (non-GAAP) versus adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations of $3.21 per diluted share (non-GAAP) for fiscal 2012
- Updates cash flow guidance to $120 million
We update our guidance for fourth quarter fiscal 2013 adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations to be in the range of $1.40 to $1.55 per diluted share (non-GAAP). This guidance assumes U.S. comparable store sales decline in the range of low to mid single digits and total U.S. sales decrease in the range of 6 to 8%. As a reminder, fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 includes 13 weeks of operations, compared to 14 weeks in last year's fourth quarter results.
Based on operating results for the first three quarters and our expectations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we update our guidance for fiscal 2013 adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.55 per diluted share (non-GAAP). This guidance assumes U.S. comparable store sales decline 2% to 3% and a total U.S. sales decrease in the range of 1% to 2%. In addition, we update our cash flow guidance to approximately $120 million. As a reminder, fiscal 2013 includes 52 weeks of operations, compared to 53 weeks last year.

(a) |
The diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations by segment are separately calculated; therefore, the sum of diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations by segment may differ, due to rounding, from the calculated consolidated diluted (loss) earnings per share from continuing operations. Diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations by segment is a "non-GAAP financial measure," as that term is defined by Rule 101 of Regulation G (17 CFR Part 244) and Item 10 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR Part 229), which our management believes is useful information to investors. |

The above adjusted net sales, adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling and administrative expenses, adjusted depreciation expense, adjusted operating (loss) profit, adjusted income tax (benefit) expense, adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, and adjusted effective income tax rate are "non-GAAP financial measures" as that term is defined by Rule 101 of Regulation G (17 CFR Part 244) and Item 10 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR Part 229). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"): (1) a pretax charge for a change in an accounting principle associated with our implementation of new inventory management information systems of $5,574 ($3,388, net of tax); and (2) the impact of the exclusion of the results of our wholesale business related to the announced wind down of its operations.
Our management believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because the non-GAAP financial measures present an alternative and more relevant method for measuring our operating performance, excluding special items included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, that management believes is more indicative of our on-going operating results and financial condition. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating performance.
