IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Michaels Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIK) today reported diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 of $0.19, or $0.40 per adjusted diluted share which excludes charges totaling $31.4 million (net of taxes) consisting primarily of non-cash goodwill and other impairment charges associated with the Darice wholesale business. This compares to diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 of $0.50, or $0.48 per adjusted diluted share. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the respective GAAP measures is included in this release.
“We are moving ahead on bringing our customer-centric, core 'Maker' strategy to life, and we are encouraged by the early operational progress being made. Combining this with the sales gains from our recent opportunistic transaction tied to A.C. Moore exiting their retail business, we believe we are on the path to improved, consistent, financial performance over time,” said Mark Cosby, Chief Executive Officer.
“Our third quarter results did not meet our expectations and were impacted by specific factors which we are addressing. As we implement the initiatives that support our 'Maker' strategy, we believe we will improve the trajectory of our business over time. Our strong balance sheet and substantial free cash flow generation provide a solid foundation from which we can reposition Michaels to drive long-term shareholder value,” Mr. Cosby added.
Third Quarter Highlights
Net sales were $1,222.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $1,274.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to a 2.2% decrease in comparable store sales, the closure of our Pat Catan’s stores during the fourth quarter of 2018, and a decrease in wholesale revenue. The decrease was partially offset from sales related to 18 additional Michaels stores (net of closures) since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018. During the third quarter, the Company opened 13 new Michaels stores, 11 of which were former Pat Catan’s stores converted to the Michaels brand, closed one Michaels store, and relocated five Michaels stores. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company operated 1,274 Michaels stores.
Gross profit was 36.1% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to 37.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The 150 basis point decrease was primarily due to a decrease in merchandise margin and the deleveraging of occupancy and distribution related costs, partially offset by a decrease in inventory reserves. The decrease in merchandise margin reflects the impacts of higher promotional activity, higher tariffs on inventory we purchase from China, and a change in sales mix, partially offset by benefits from our ongoing pricing and sourcing initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expense including store pre-opening costs (“SG&A”) was $324.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $341.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease was primarily due to payroll related costs including performance-based compensation, and expenses associated with the closure of the Pat Catan’s stores.
Restructure and impairment charges in the third quarter totaled $41.4 million and consist primarily of non-cash goodwill and other impairment charges associated with the Darice wholesale business.
Operating income was $76.0 million compared to $137.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding restructure and impairment charges, adjusted operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $117.4 million. This compares to adjusted operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 of $141.3 million, excluding an inventory write-down of $4.1 million related to a third-party product which did not meet the Company’s quality standards.
Interest expense increased $1.0 million to $38.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, from $37.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, due primarily to higher interest on our new 2027 Senior Notes, partially offset by a decrease related to reduced borrowing on the Company’s Amended Revolving Credit Facility. On August 30, 2019, the Amended Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity to August 2024.
The effective tax rate was 22.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to 15.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The effective tax rate was higher primarily due to tax benefits recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 associated with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”).
Net income was $28.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to $83.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding restructure and impairment charges, losses on early extinguishments of debt and refinancing costs and related tax adjustments, adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $60.1 million, compared to adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 of $79.8 million, which excludes the inventory write down of $3.1 million (net of taxes) described above and the adjustments related to the Tax Act.
Total merchandise inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 1.2% to $1,423.4 million compared to $1,440.9 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018 primarily related to closing the Pat Catan’s stores. 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 2.9% to $1,069,000 reflecting the impact of tariffs, and compares to $1,039,000 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company purchased 8.6 million shares, for an aggregate of $80 million under its share repurchase authorization. The total remaining authorization for future repurchases is approximately $294 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.
As previously announced, subsequent to the end of our fiscal third quarter, Nicole Crafts announced the closure of its A.C. Moore retail operations. As part of this closure, Michaels entered into an asset purchase agreement with A.C. Moore Incorporated and certain of its affiliates to acquire intellectual property and the right to lease up to 40 store locations for $58 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. In connection with the acquisition the Company also leased a distribution facility in New Jersey. The store locations are expected to be reopened under the Michaels brand name in fiscal 2020 and will include the relocation of certain existing Michaels stores. The transaction is intended to expand our presence in strategic markets and better serve our customers both online and in stores.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2019 Outlook:
The Company’s guidance for the fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2019 excludes any restructure charges related to the Pat Catan’s store closures, any expenses associated with the transition of the Company’s former CEO, a write-off of an investment in a liquidated business, non-cash impairment charges associated with the Darice wholesale business, costs related to debt refinancing activities, and related tax adjustments.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company expects:
- comparable store sales to be down 2%-3% reflecting current business trends, a shorter holiday selling season in the fourth quarter, and a potential negative impact from the liquidation of A.C. Moore retail locations;
- adjusted operating income to be between $271 million and $281 million;
- net interest expense to be approximately $38 million;
- the effective tax rate to be between 23% and 24%; and
- adjusted diluted earnings per common share to be between $1.21 and $1.27, based on diluted weighted average common shares of 147 million.
For fiscal 2019, the Company now expects:
- net sales to be between $5.06 billion and $5.08 billion;
- comparable store sales to be down approximately 2%;
- to open net 16 new Michaels stores, inclusive of 12 Pat Catan’s stores the Company plans to rebrand and reopen, and relocate 13 Michaels stores;
- adjusted operating income to be in the range of $565 million to $575 million;
- interest expense to be approximately $152 million;
- the effective tax rate to be between 23% and 24%;
- adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $2.07 and $2.12, based on diluted weighted average shares of approximately 153 million; and
- capital expenditures to be approximately $125 million.

Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes non-GAAP measures including adjusted operating income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. 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 2019 results on a comparable basis with its quarterly and fiscal 2018 results.
This press release also includes expected adjusted operating income and expected adjusted diluted EPS. The Company does not provide an expected GAAP operating income range or an expected GAAP diluted earnings per share range or a reconciliation of adjusted operating income or adjusted diluted earnings per share range with a GAAP diluted earnings per share range because, without unreasonable effort, the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the precise amount or timing of the recognition of expenses associated with the adjusted items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP diluted earnings per share in future periods.
The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. 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. 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. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these items differently than it does.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release includes forward-looking statements which reflect management's current views and estimates regarding the Company's industry, business strategy, goals, and expectations concerning its market position, future operations, including with respect to store openings and former A.C. Moore stores, profitability, capital expenditures, share repurchases, liquidity and capital resources, and other financial and operating information. The words "anticipate", "assume", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", “forecast”, "future", “guidance”, “imply”, "intend", "may", “outlook”, "plan", "potential", "predict", "project", and similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the effect of economic uncertainty; substantial changes to fiscal and tax policies; our reliance on foreign suppliers; regulatory changes; the seasonality of our business; changes in customer demand; damage to the reputation of the Michaels brand or our private and exclusive brands; unexpected or unfavorable consumer responses to our promotional or merchandising programs; our failure to adequately maintain security and prevent unauthorized access to electronic and other confidential information; increased competition including internet-based competition from other retailers; the impact of tariffs on certain products that we import from China and other risks and uncertainties including those identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which is available at www.sec.gov, and other filings that the Company may make with the SEC in the future. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company's assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this news release speaks only as of the date on which the Company makes it. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them.
