- Comparable Store Sales Increased 3.8%, or 4.3% on a constant currency basis
- Net income increased 5.0% to $83.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share; adjusted net income of $79.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share
- Management updates fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance to $2.35 to $2.39 from $2.29 to $2.42
IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Michaels Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIK) today reported diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 of $0.50, an increase of 13.6% compared to $0.44 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding a $0.04 benefit due to items related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”) and a $0.02 net charge from an unexpected inventory write-down, net of related income taxes, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter was $0.48. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the respective GAAP measures is included in this release.
“Today we reported better-than-expected third quarter results, driven by stronger comparable store sales growth, good expense management and the impact of our ongoing share repurchase program,” said Chuck Rubin, Chairman and CEO. “Supported by a compelling assortment, stronger marketing and a more integrated omnichannel experience, our teams are engaged and excited to serve customers this holiday season, both in stores and online. We have invested significantly this year to create an easier shopping experience for customers, and we believe these improvements will strengthen our leadership position in the Arts & Crafts industry and help us deliver our revenue and earnings expectations for the year.”
Third Quarter Highlights
Net sales increased 2.7% to $1,274.1 million, compared to $1,240.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in net sales was primarily due to a 3.8% increase in comparable store sales and the operation of 19 additional Michaels stores (net of closures) during the quarter. The sales increase was partially offset by the closure of all 94 full-size Aaron Brothers stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. During the quarter, the Company opened six new Michaels stores, closed one Michaels store and relocated four Michaels stores. At the end of the third quarter, the Company operated 1,256 Michaels stores and 36 Pat Catan’s stores.
Operating income was $137.2 million, compared to $153.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. As expected, the decrease in operating income was due to lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expense, including store pre-opening costs (“SG&A”). The decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was due to higher distribution-related costs and higher inventory reserves, including an unexpected inventory write-down of $4.1 million related to a third-party product which did not meet the Company’s quality standards. These factors were partially offset by occupancy cost leverage and benefits from the Company’s ongoing sourcing initiatives. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in performance-based compensation, higher marketing expenses and increased payroll related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in expenses related to the Aaron Brothers store closures during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding the $4.1 million inventory write-down, adjusted operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $141.3 million.
Interest expense increased $5.0 million to $37.8 million, from $32.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, due to higher LIBOR rates associated with the Company’s variable rate Amended Term Loan Credit Facility and settlement payments associated with the Company’s interest rate swaps.
The effective tax rate was 15.8% compared to 34.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The lower effective tax rate was due to benefits recognized related to the Tax Act, including a decrease in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%; a $4.0 million provisional benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets; and a $3.1 million provisional benefit related to repatriation taxes for accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Excluding the impact of the $7.1 million of provisional adjustments, the effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was 23.0%.
Net income increased 5.0% to $83.8 million compared to $79.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the inventory write-down of $3.1 million (net of taxes) described above and the $7.1 million of provisional adjustments related to the Tax Act, adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $79.8 million.
Total merchandise inventory at the end of the third quarter increased 2.6% to $1,440.9 million, compared to $1,404.2 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Average Michaels inventory on a per store basis, inclusive of distribution centers, inventory in transit and inventory for the Company’s e-commerce site, increased 1.1% to $1,039,000, compared to $1,028,000 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
As previously reported, the Company received 1.7 million shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the completion of its previously announced accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”). In addition, the Company purchased 11.1 million shares for $184.0 million under its share repurchase authorization. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company purchased an additional 1.0 million shares for $17.6 million. As of December 6, 2018, the total authorization remaining for future repurchases is $398.4 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.
Fourth 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 a restructuring charge related to the Aaron Brothers store closures, provisional tax adjustments, any one-time costs associated with debt refinancing, and the inventory write-down in the third quarter related to product which did not meet the Company’s quality standards.
For fiscal 2018, a 52-week year, the Company now expects:
- net sales will be between $5,261 million and $5,278 million;
- comparable store sales will increase between 0.7% and 1.1%;
- to open 20 new Michaels stores (net of closures) and relocate 21 Michaels stores;
- adjusted operating income will be between $670 million to $680 million;
- net interest expense will be approximately $144 million;
- the effective tax rate will be approximately 23%;
- adjusted diluted earnings per common share will be between $2.35 and $2.39, based on diluted weighted average common shares of approximately 172 million; and
- capital expenditures will be approximately $160 million.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company expects:
- comparable store sales will be approximately between (0.5)% and 0.5%;
- to open two new Michaels stores (net of closures) and relocate one Michaels store;
- adjusted operating income will be between $332 million and $342 million;
- net interest expense will be approximately $38 million;
- the effective tax rate will be approximately 23%; and
- adjusted diluted earnings per common share will be between $1.42 and $1.47, based on diluted weighted average common shares of approximately 159 million.

Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes non-GAAP measures including net income excluding a one-time restructuring charge (net of income from Aaron Brothers operations), net of related income taxes, an inventory write-down related to a third-party product which did not meet the Company’s quality standards, net of related income taxes, losses on early extinguishments of debt and refinancing costs, net of related income taxes, and provisional adjustments related to the Tax Act (“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, an inventory write-down related to a third-party product which did not meet the Company’s quality standards, net of related income taxes, losses on early extinguishments of debt and refinancing costs, net of related income taxes, and provisional adjustments related to the Tax Act (“Adjusted diluted earnings per share”); and 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) and an inventory write-down related to a third-party product which did not meet the Company’s quality standards (“Adjusted operating income”). 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.
