Raises Full Year Financial Guidance
Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend
FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 14, 2016--Pier 1 Imports, Inc. (NYSE:PIR) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended November 26, 2016.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Alex W. Smith, President and CEO, stated, “Sales trends rebounded in the second half of November, following the election, which enabled us to deliver third quarter results well ahead of our forecast. Specifically, we had positive company comparable sales and higher than planned profits in the third quarter. We are making progress on our strategies to deliver shareholder value through our merchandising, marketing, supply chain and real estate initiatives. Our seasonal assortments are resonating with customers and we’re seeing strength across nearly all our product categories. As always, we’re pleased with how our teams and associates are executing against our holiday plans.”
“We have a great deal of confidence in our brand positioning and long-term financial outlook,” added Mr. Smith. “Pier 1 Imports has always been known for inspirational merchandise, great value and outstanding customer service. Layering our omni-channel capabilities on top of that foundation makes Pier 1 Imports a formidable force in the home furnishings space. Our teams are focused on continually enhancing our business model to ensure that we thrive in today’s era of retailing and well into the future.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results of Operations
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased 0.4% to $475.9 million, compared to $478.0 million in the same period last year. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017 the Company operated 33 fewer stores than at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Company comparable sales for the quarter increased 1.8% from the prior year. E-Commerce sales totaled $97.4 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 28%. E-Commerce represented approximately 20% of net sales in the third quarter, as compared to approximately 16% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 totaled $196.4 million, or 41.3% of net sales, compared to $184.0 million, or 38.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Third quarter merchandise margin (the result of adding back delivery and fulfillment net costs and store occupancy costs to gross profit) totaled $286.4 million, or 60.2% of net sales, compared to $268.6 million, or 56.2% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The year-over-year improvement in merchandise margin as a percentage of net sales is primarily attributable to a more cost efficient promotional strategy and improved operations within the Company’s distribution centers. For the three months ended November 26, 2016, contribution from operations (gross profit less compensation for operations and operational expenses) totaled $111.4 million, compared to $97.6 million during the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, contribution from operations increased 300 basis points to 23.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
Third quarter fiscal 2017 selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $160.8 million, or 33.8% of net sales, compared to $151.6 million, or 31.7% of net sales, in the year-ago period. Cost reductions across the organization were offset by planned investments in marketing, including television advertising, approximately $8.0 million of costs associated with the departure of the Company’s CEO, and approximately $3.7 million for incremental legal and advisory fees, CEO transition costs including search fees and retention program awards to executives, and certain costs for sub-leasing portions of the corporate headquarters. The following table details the breakdown of SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to the same period last year (in millions).

Financial Disclosure Advisory
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release references non-GAAP financial measures including merchandise margin, contribution from operations, EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and forward-looking adjusted earnings per share.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release allow management and investors to understand and compare results in a more consistent manner for the three- and nine-month periods ended November 26, 2016, and November 28, 2015. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental and not a substitute for the Company’s results reported in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented.
Merchandise margin represents the result of adding back delivery and fulfillment net costs and store occupancy costs to gross profit. Contribution from operations represents gross profit less compensation for operations (which includes store and customer service payroll) and operational expenses. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management believes merchandise margin, contribution from operations and EBITDA are meaningful indicators of the Company’s performance which provide useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations. Management uses merchandise margin, contribution from operations and EBITDA, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, to assess the Company’s operating performance, to enhance its understanding of core operating performance and to compare the Company’s operating performance to other retailers. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used as an alternative to GAAP financial measures and do not purport to be an alternative to net income or gross profit as a measure of operating performance. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA to contribution from operations to merchandise margin is shown below for the periods indicated (in millions).

This press release also references adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and forward-looking adjusted earnings per share, which exclude the impact of severance and other charges related to the departure of the Company’s CEO in fiscal 2017. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in comparing the Company’s year-over-year operating performance. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share should be considered supplemental and not a substitute for the Company’s net income and earnings per share results reported in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented.
