PARTY CITY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2021 RESULTS; TOTAL REVENUE FOR FISCAL OCTOBER 2021

AND PROVIDES FOURTH QUARTER 2021 BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

Total Net Sales of $510.2 million; Comparable Sales increased 7.5% versus prior year and 14.2% versus Q3

2019 driven by strength in core categories

 

GAAP Net Loss of $2.8 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $42.9 million

 

Strong October Performance across Core and Halloween

 

 

ELMSFORD, N.Y.- November 9, 2021 - Party City Holdco Inc. (the “Company” or “PRTY”; NYSE:PRTY) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

 

Brad Weston, Chief Executive Officer of Party City, stated, “We are very pleased with our third quarter results that came in at the high end of our expectations. Our performance was again broad based as we continue to be celebration obsessed and take concrete steps to increase relevancy with our customers to ensure we are top of mind when it comes to anything celebratory. To that end, this strong performance continued into October fueled by ongoing strength in our core categories. We are thrilled with our Halloween results driven by the team’s excellent execution of our improved Halloween go-to market strategy across all four channels of our business including Party City, Party City.com, Halloween City and Wholesale.”

 

Mr. Weston added, “As we look to the final quarter of the year, we feel good about our positioning for the holiday season. We will continue to update and improve our product assortments and inventory position, as we expand our relevancy and elevate our customer experience. Given the still dynamic operating environment, we will remain flexible and agile, with our learnings from this year giving us increased confidence in our inflation mitigation strategies and the trajectory of our business.”

 


 

Third Quarter Summary:

 

Total net sales were $510.2 million, a decrease of 4.4% compared to the third quarter 2020 primarily driven by the divestiture of a significant portion of our international operations in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by strong retail sales growth.
Total retail sales increased 8.9% versus third quarter 2020 driven by a strong comparable sales increase in our core everyday categories.
The total number of corporate Party City stores was 754 as of September 30, 2021 compared to 739 in the prior year period.
Brand comparable sales increased 7.5% in the third quarter versus the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2020 and increased 14.2% compared to the 13 weeks ended October 5, 2019.
Net third-party wholesale sales decreased 33.6% compared to the third quarter of 2020 principally due to the divestiture of a significant portion of our international operations in the first quarter of 2021. Excluding international operations, net third-party wholesale sales increased 7.8%, driven by strong performance at our Anagram balloon division.
Total gross profit margin increased 270 basis points to 36.0% of net sales. Excluding certain items not indicative of core operating performance, gross profit margin improved approximately 175 basis points to 36.3% of net sales driven primarily by the divestiture of international operations and leverage on retail occupancy costs.
Operating expenses totaled $163.6 million or $41.4 million lower than the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the third quarter of 2020. Excluding certain items not indicative of core operating performance, operating expenses totaled $157.6 million, or 30.9% of net sales, a 230-basis point increase versus prior-year period primarily driven by the divestiture of a significant portion of our international operations.
Interest expense was $23.9 million during the third quarter of 2021, compared to $13.4 million during the third quarter of 2020. The increase primarily reflects higher cost debt from the debt refinancing in the first quarter of 2021 and the forgiveness of interest as part of the debt refinancing in the third quarter of 2020.
Reported GAAP net loss was $2.8 million, or loss of $0.02 per diluted share.
Adjusted net income was $2.9 million, or earnings of $0.02 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $11.0 million, or income of $0.10 per share, in the third quarter of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Information”)
Adjusted EBITDA was $42.9 million, versus $49.2 million during the third quarter of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Information”).

 

Fiscal October 2021 Update:

For fiscal October 2021 (for the Company’s retail segment, fiscal October 2021 consisted of the five-week period ended November 6, 2021), the Company reported total revenue of $415.5 million, or 13.9% above the same period of last year. Total Retail revenue increased approximately 19.8%. Brand comparable sales increased 16.0% versus prior year driven by continued strength in core categories and higher Halloween sales. During the month of October 2021, the Company operated 754 total Party City locations vs 739 in the prior year period, and 90 temporary Halloween City stores, compared to 25 in 2020.

Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2021 was $73.6 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $56.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash used is primarily attributable to an increase in seasonal inventory and the related freight, as well as the repayment of rents deferred from 2020. Free cash flowa in the first nine months of 2021 was $111.9 million compared to $(13.8) million in the prior year period, with the improvement driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA due to improved operating results, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

aFree cash flow defined as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures (See “Non-GAAP Financial Information”).

Website Information

 

We routinely post important information for investors on the Investor Relations section of our website, http://investor.partycity.com/. We intend to use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly,

investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

 

Non-GAAP Information

This press release includes non-GAAP measures including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income/Loss. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by eliminating items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA: (i) as a factor in determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and (iii) because our credit facilities use Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants. We also utilized operating expense excluding certain items not indicative of core operating performance. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in tables accompanying this release. We also evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our prior-period local currency financial results using the current period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current period reported results. We also provide debt principal net of cash, which is calculated by adding Loans and Notes Payable, Current Portion of Long Term Obligations and Long Term Obligations, Excluding Current Portion, subtracting Cash and Cash Equivalents and dividing by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period. We also define free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures. We believe providing these non-GAAP measures provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations and leverage, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. 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 means to evaluate the results of its core 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events or our future financial or operating performance and include Party City’s expectations regarding revenues, brand comparable sales, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, interest expense and capital expenditures. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on management’s good-faith belief and reasonable judgment based on current information, and these statements are qualified by important risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those forecasted or indicated by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include: our ability to compete effectively in a competitive industry; fluctuations in commodity prices; our ability to appropriately respond to changing merchandise trends and consumer preferences; successful implementation

(a)
The Company performed a comprehensive review of its store locations aimed at improving the overall productivity of such locations (“store optimization program”). After careful consideration and evaluation of the store locations, the Company made the decision to accelerate the optimization of its store portfolio with the closure of stores, which are primarily located in close proximity to other Party City stores. For further detail, refer to Note 3 – Store Impairment and Restructuring Charges of Item 1, “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)” in the September 30, 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 2021.
(b)
Amounts expensed principally relate to severance due to organizational changes.
(c)
As a result of a sustained decline in market capitalization and reduced fair value of certain intangibles and long-lived assets, the Company recognized non-cash pre-tax goodwill and intangibles impairment charges.
(d)
The “deferred rent” adjustment reflects the difference between accounting for rent and landlord incentives in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s actual cash outlay.
(e)
Charges incurred related to closing and relocating stores in the ordinary course of business.
(f)
The acquisition of Ampology’s interest in Kazzam, LLC in an equity transaction. See Note 17 – Kazzam, LLC of Item 1 in the September 30, 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
