MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2016--SUPERVALU INC. (NYSE: SVU) today reported fourth quarter fiscal 2016 consolidated net sales of $3.95 billion and net earnings from continuing operations of $49 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, which included $15 million in after-tax charges and costs related to debt refinancing, store closures and impairments, the potential separation of Save-A-Lot and employee severance. When adjusted for these items, fourth quarter fiscal 2016 net earnings from continuing operations were $64 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.
Net earnings from continuing operations for last year’s fourth quarter were $36 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, which included $30 million in after-tax costs and charges related to debt refinancing, benefit plans, and store closures and impairments. When adjusted for these items, fourth quarter fiscal 2015 net earnings from continuing operations were $66 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, which included an approximate $0.03 per diluted share benefit related to the additional week in fiscal 2015. [See tables 1-5 for a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP (adjusted) results appearing in this release.]
"I am thrilled to be a part of SUPERVALU and impressed with the people, assets and infrastructure that are in place within this great company,” said President and CEO Mark Gross. “Although fourth quarter sales were softer than we had forecast, I am optimistic about our future prospects and pleased at our ability to manage adjusted EBITDA to finish in-line with our expectations. We have a lot of positives to build on as we move forward.”
Fourth Quarter Results - Continuing Operations
Fourth quarter consolidated net sales were $3.95 billion compared to $4.07 billion last year when excluding the additional week in fiscal 2015, which accounted for $313 million in net sales last year. Total net sales within the Wholesale segment decreased 4.8 percent excluding the additional week in fiscal 2015. Save-A-Lot network identical store sales were negative 2.2 percent. Identical store sales for corporate stores within the Save-A-Lot network were negative 1.3 percent. Retail segment identical store sales were negative 3.9 percent. Fees earned under transition services agreements (“TSAs”) in the fourth quarter were $44 million compared to $45 million last year, when excluding $4 from the additional week last year.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter was $590 million, or 15.0 percent of net sales. Last year’s fourth quarter gross profit was $663 million, or 15.1 percent of net sales, which included the additional week in fiscal 2015 that contributed approximately $49 million to fourth quarter fiscal 2015 gross profit. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales compared to last year was primarily driven by higher inventory shrink and employee costs.
Selling and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter were $489 million and included charges and costs of $9 million for store closure and impairments, $3 million for the potential separation of Save-A-Lot and $2 million for employee severance. When adjusted for these items, selling and administrative costs were $475 million, or 12.1 percent of net sales. Selling and administrative expenses in last year’s fourth quarter were $524 million and included $6 million of benefit plan charges and $3 million of store closure and impairment charges. When adjusted for these items, last year's selling and administrative expenses were $515 million, or 11.8 percent of net sales. The additional week in fiscal 2015 contributed approximately $32 million to fourth quarter fiscal 2015 selling and administrative expenses. The increase in adjusted selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales compared to last year was primarily driven by a change in business segment mix as Save-A-Lot and Retail were a greater percentage of total sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
Net interest expense for the fourth quarter was $48 million and included $10 million in debt refinancing costs and charges. When adjusted for these items, net interest expense was $38 million. Last year's fourth quarter interest expense was $87 million and included $40 million in debt refinancing costs and charges and $3 million from the additional week. When adjusted for these items, last year's fourth quarter interest expense was $44 million. The decrease in adjusted net interest expense was primarily driven by lower outstanding debt balances.
Income tax expense was $6 million, or 11.3 percent of pre-tax earnings, for the fourth quarter, compared to $17 million, or 31.7 percent in last year’s fourth quarter. The tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 reflects the resolution of certain federal and state tax matters. The tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 reflects the resolution of certain tax matters for closed years.
Wholesale
Fourth quarter Wholesale net sales were $1.74 billion, compared to $1.83 billion last year when excluding $143 million in net sales from the additional week in fiscal 2015. The net sales decrease of 4.8 percent when excluding the additional week in fiscal 2015 is primarily due to lost accounts and lower sales to existing customers, partially offset by increased sales to new customers and new stores operated by existing customers.
Wholesale operating earnings in the fourth quarter were $50 million, or 2.9 percent of net sales. Last year’s Wholesale operating earnings in the fourth quarter were $63 million, or 3.2 percent of net sales. The additional week in fiscal 2015 contributed approximately $7 million to Wholesale operating earnings. The decrease in Wholesale operating earnings as a percent of sales was driven by higher employee costs.
Save-A-Lot
Fourth quarter Save-A-Lot net sales were $1.06 billion, compared to $1.06 billion last year when excluding $79 million in net sales from the additional week in fiscal 2015. The net sales decrease of 0.8 percent when excluding the additional week in fiscal 2015 reflects identical store sales across the Save-A-Lot network of negative 2.2 percent and the impact of closed stores, partially offset by increased sales from new corporate and licensed stores.
Save-A-Lot operating earnings in the fourth quarter were $14 million, or 1.4 percent of net sales, and included $9 million of store closure and impairment charges and $2 million of severance costs. When adjusted for these items, Save-A-Lot's operating earnings were $25 million, or 2.4 percent of sales. Last year’s Save-A-Lot operating earnings in the fourth quarter were $47 million, or 4.1 percent of net sales, and included $3 million of store closure and impairment charges. When adjusted for this item, last year's Save-A-Lot operating earnings were $50 million, or 4.4 percent of net sales. The additional week in fiscal 2015 contributed approximately $4 million to Save-A-Lot operating earnings. The decrease in Save-A-Lot operating earnings as a percent of sales was driven by higher employee and store occupancy costs, and higher inventory shrink.
Retail
Fourth quarter Retail net sales were $1.11 billion, compared to $1.14 billion last year when excluding $87 million in net sales from the additional week in fiscal 2015. The net sales decrease of 2.6 percent when excluding the additional week in fiscal 2015 reflects negative identical store sales of 3.9 percent, partially offset by sales from new stores.
Retail operating earnings in the fourth quarter were $30 million, or 2.7 percent of net sales. Last year’s Retail operating earnings in the fourth quarter were $44 million, or 3.6 percent of net sales. The additional week in fiscal 2015 contributed approximately $7 million to Retail operating earnings. The decrease in Retail operating earnings as a percent of sales was driven by lower base margins, higher inventory shrink, and higher employee costs.
Corporate
Fourth quarter fees earned under the TSAs were $44 million compared to $45 million last year when excluding $4 million in fees from the additional week in fiscal 2015.
Net Corporate operating earnings in the fourth quarter was $7 million and included $3 million of costs related to the potential separation of Save-A-Lot. When adjusted for this item, net Corporate operating earnings were $10 million. Last year’s fourth quarter net Corporate operating loss was $15 million and included $6 million in pension and employee benefit plan charges. The additional week in fiscal 2015 contributed a loss of approximately $1 million. When adjusted for these items, last year's net Corporate operating loss was $8 million. The improvement in net Corporate operating earnings was primarily driven by lower employee costs.
Cash Flows - Continuing Operations
Fiscal 2016 net cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations were $421 million compared to $333 million last year, primarily reflecting lower benefit plan contributions. Fiscal 2016 cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations were $288 million compared to $285 million last year. Fiscal 2016 net cash flows used in financing activities of continuing operations were $193 million compared to $92 million last year, reflecting higher net payments made toward the reduction of outstanding debt.
