- Comparable Store Sales Decreased 0.4%
- Net income of $27.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share
- Full Year Diluted EPS Guidance raised by $0.10 to $2.29 to $2.42
- 10.7 Million Shares of Common Stock Repurchased Through Accelerated Stock Repurchase Program
IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Michaels Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIK) today reported diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 of $0.15, one cent above the Company’s previously provided guidance.
“We delivered second quarter results that were in-line with our expectations despite continued softness in the core arts and crafts industry. Our sales trend improved as the quarter progressed, reflecting better merchandise in-stocks and enhanced omnichannel capabilities. In addition, we converted 238 stores to our flexible merchandising area format, launched Michaels Rewards in Canada, and tested a number of different promotional vehicles to learn more about what motivates our customer,” said Chuck Rubin, Chairman and CEO. “Looking to the rest of fiscal 2018, we have raised our full year EPS guidance to reflect the net impact of higher than anticipated headwinds from distribution-related costs, a lower expected effective tax rate, and the impact of our accelerated share repurchase program. We are encouraged by recent sales trends and believe the investments we made in the first half of the year will help us deliver our revenue and earnings expectations for the second half of fiscal 2018.”
Second Quarter Highlights
Net sales were $1,053.3 million, compared to $1,072.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the closure of all 94 full-size Aaron Brothers stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and a 0.4% (0.5% on a constant currency basis) decline in comparable store sales. The sales decrease was partially offset by sales from the operation of 21 additional Michaels stores (net of closures) during the quarter and an increase in wholesale revenue. During the quarter, the Company opened nine new Michaels stores, closed one Michaels store and relocated seven Michaels stores. At the end of the second quarter, the Company operated 1,251 Michaels stores and 36 Pat Catan’s stores.
Operating income was $74.3 million, compared to $88.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. As expected, the decrease in operating income was due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expense, including store pre-opening costs (“SG&A”). The decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of sales, in the quarter was due to higher distribution-related costs, increased promotional activity and occupancy cost deleverage, partially offset by benefits from the Company’s ongoing sourcing initiatives. SG&A was lower in the quarter primarily due to a reduction in performance-based compensation and a decrease in expenses related to the Aaron Brothers store closures during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, partially offset by higher marketing expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a $3.2 million gain in the quarter primarily related to the settlement of lease obligations associated with the closure of 94 full-size Aaron Brothers stores and its related one-time restructuring charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding the $3.2 million gain, adjusted operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $71.1 million.
Interest expense increased $6.1 million to $37.1 million, from $31.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 due to higher LIBOR rates associated with the Company’s variable rate Amended Term Loan Credit Facility and the settlement payments associated with the Company’s interest rate swaps.
During the second quarter, the Company amended its $2.2 billion Amended Term Loan Credit Facility to reduce the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.50% from LIBOR plus 2.75%. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.8 million related to this transaction in the quarter.
The effective tax rate was 24.0%, compared to 36.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The lower effective tax rate is primarily due to a reduction in the federal statutory tax rate in connection with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”).
Net income was $27.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $35.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the $2.4 million gain (net of taxes) related to the settlement of lease obligations associated with the closure of 94 full-size Aaron Brothers stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and $1.4 million of losses (net of taxes) on early extinguishments of debt and refinancing costs, adjusted net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $26.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.
During the quarter, the Company paid $250 million and received an initial delivery of approximately 10.7 million shares pursuant to its previously announced accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) under its share repurchase authorization program. The total number of shares the Company will repurchase under its ASR agreement will be based upon the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the transaction. Final settlement of the transaction under the ASR agreement, including receipt of any remaining shares, is expected to occur in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. At the conclusion of the ASR, the total remaining authorization for future repurchases is expected to be approximately $100 million. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and the timing and number of repurchase transactions under the program will depend on market conditions, corporate considerations, debt agreements, and regulatory requirements.
Third Quarter and Fiscal Year 2018 Outlook:
The Company’s guidance for fiscal 2018 assumes Aaron Brothers stores were closed as of the start of the fiscal year and excludes the restructuring charge, provisional tax adjustments, and any one-time costs associated with debt refinancing.

- adjusted diluted earnings per common share will be between $2.29 and $2.42, based on diluted weighted average common shares of approximately 176 million; and

Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes non-GAAP measures including operating income excluding a one-time restructuring charge primarily related to the closing of 94 full-size Aaron Brothers stores in the first quarter (net of income from Aaron Brothers operations) (“Adjusted operating income”); net income excluding a one-time restructuring charge (net of income from Aaron Brothers operations), net of related income taxes, losses on early extinguishments of debt and refinancing costs, net of related income taxes, and excluding provisional adjustments related to tax reform (“Adjusted net income”); and diluted earnings per share excluding a one-time restructuring charge (net of income from Aaron Brothers operations), net of related income taxes, losses on early extinguishments of debt and refinancing costs, net of related income taxes, and excluding provisional adjustments related to tax reform (“Adjusted diluted earnings per share”). The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in a table accompanying this release. The Company believes 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 the Company's business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of its quarterly and fiscal 2018 diluted earnings per common share and actual results on a comparable basis with its quarterly and fiscal 2017 results.
In evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses or be involved in transactions that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these items differently than it does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared 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.
