Tuesday Morning Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

The terms “Tuesday Morning,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Tuesday Morning Corporation and its subsidiaries.  Other than as disclosed in this document, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20182019 for our critical accounting policies.

 

 

1.      Basis of presentation — The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 20182019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but doesdate. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019. The results of operations for the three and nine month periodssix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2019,2020, which we refer to as fiscal 2019.2020, due in part to the seasonality of our business. Certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. None of the reclassifications affected our net income in any period.  

We do not present a consolidated statement of comprehensive income as there are no other comprehensive income items in either the current or prior fiscal periods.

The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires us to make assumptions and use estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The most significant estimates relate to:to inventory valuation under the retail method and estimation of reserves and valuation allowances specifically related to insurance, income taxes and litigation. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Our fiscal year ends on June 30 and we operate our business as a single operating segment.

Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 842”).  ASC 842 requires entities (“lessees”) that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases.   Under ASC 842, a right-of-use asset and lease liability is recorded for all leases, whether operating or finance, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for finance leases. In addition, ASC 842 requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

We adopted ASC 842 effective July 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis.  We elected the transition option that allows entities to only apply the standard at the adoption date and not apply the provisions to comparative periods; therefore, prior periods were not restated.  This transition option allows the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented.  Our adoption of the standard resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $0.6 million, as of July 1, 2019. The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets of approximately $350 million and liabilities of approximately $375 million as of July 1, 2019.

We elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, including the package of practical expedients, which allows us to not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification of existing leases, or initial direct costs for existing leases.  We elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for new and modified leases and not to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.  We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient.  The adoption of the standard did not materially impact our consolidated net income or liquidity, and did not have an impact on debt-covenant compliance under our current revolving credit agreement.

See Note 5 for additional information.

2.       Revenue Recognition — Our revenue is earned from sales of merchandise within our stores and is recorded at the point of sale and conveyance of merchandise to customers. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by point of sale discounts and estimates for sales returns, and excludes sales tax.  Payment for our sales is due at the time of sale.  We maintain a reserve for estimated returns, as well as a corresponding returns asset, and we use historical customer return

8


behavior to estimate our reserve requirements.  Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 as discussed in Note 14 below, required a change in presentation of the sales return reserve on the balance sheet, which we previously presented net of the estimated value of returned merchandise, but is now being presented on a gross basis.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we recorded an immaterial adjustment to present the reserve on a gross basis, increasing “Accrued Liabilities” and recording the corresponding returns asset, as evaluated for impairment, in “Other Assets,” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  No impairment of the returns asset was indicatedidentified or recorded as of MarchDecember 31, 2019.  Gift cards are sold to customers in our stores and we issue gift cards for merchandise returns in our stores. Revenue from sales of gift cards and issuances of merchandise credits is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer, or if the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (gift card breakage). The gift card breakage rate is determined based upon historical redemption patterns. An estimate of the rate of gift card breakage is applied over the period of estimated performance and the breakage amounts are included in net sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  Breakage income recognized was less than $0.01$0.1 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20192020 and was $0.2 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018.  2019. Breakage income recognized was $0.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020 and was $0.3 million forin the ninefirst six months ended March 31, 2019 and was $0.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.of fiscal 2019.  The gift card liability is included in “Accrued Liabilities”liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019.Sheet.

 

3.      Share-based incentive plans — Stock Option Awards. We have established the Tuesday Morning Corporation 2008 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and the Tuesday Morning Corporation 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan”), which allow for the granting of stock options to directors, officers and key employees of the Company, and certain other key individuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries. Equity awards may no longer be granted under the 2008 Plan, but equity awards granted under the 2008 Plan are still outstanding.

On November 16, 2016, our stockholders approved amendments to the 2014 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 2,500,000 shares and to make additional amendments to the 2014 Plan, including (i) reducing the percentage of shares exempt from the minimum vesting requirements under the 2014 Plan, (ii) adding a clawback policy, (iii) generally eliminating the discretion of the Board of Directors to accelerate the vesting of outstanding and unvested awards upon a change of control and (iv) providing that certain shares surrendered in payment of the exercise price of awards or withheld for tax withholding would count against the shares available under the 2014 Plan. 


Stock options were awarded under the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan with a strike price at athe fair market value equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant  under the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan.

 

Options granted under the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan typically vest over periods of one to four years and expire ten years from the date of grant.  Options granted under the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan may have certain performance requirements in addition to service terms. If the performance conditions are not satisfied, the options are forfeited. The exercise prices of stock options outstanding on MarchDecember 31, 2019 range between $1.80$1.64 per share and $20.91 per share.  The 2008 Plan terminated as to new awards as of September 16, 2014.  There were 1.92.1 million shares available for grant under the 2014 Plan at MarchDecember 31, 2019.

Restricted Stock Awards—The 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan authorize the grant of restricted stock awards to directors, officers, key employees and certain other key individuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries.  Equity awards may no longer be granted under the 2008 Plan, but restricted stock awards granted under the 2008 Plan are still outstanding.  Restricted stock awards are not transferable, but bear certain rights of common stock ownership including voting and dividend rights.  The 2014 Plan also authorizes the issuance of restricted stock units which, upon vesting, provide for the issuance of an equivalent number of shares of common stock.stock or a cash payment based on the value of our common stock at vesting.  Restricted units are not transferable and do not provide voting or dividend rights.  Shares and units are valued at the fair market value of our common stock aton the date of award.the grant.  Shares and units may be subject to certain performance requirements. If the performance requirements are not met, the restricted shares or units are forfeited.  Under the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan, as of MarchDecember 31, 2019, there were 1,910,6592,737,884 shares of restricted stock and 230,7701,558,138 restricted stock units outstanding with award vesting periods, both performance-based and service-based, of one to four years and a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.07$2.33 and $3.49$1.76 per share, respectively.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards and Performance-Based Stock Option Awards.  As of MarchDecember 31, 2019 there were 1,481,5071,679,047 unvested performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock optionsunits payable in cash outstanding under the 2014 Plan.

4.      Commitments and contingencies — weWe are involved in legal and governmental proceedings as part of the normal course of our business. Reserves have been established when a loss is considered probable and are based on management’s best estimates of our potential liability in these matters. These estimates have been developed in consultation with internal and external counsel and are based on a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Management believes that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

5.       Leases — We conduct substantially all operations from leased facilities, with the exception of the corporate headquarters in Dallas and the Dallas warehouse, distribution and retail complex, which are owned facilities.  The other warehouse facilities across the country and all other retail store locations are under operating leases that will expire over the next 1 to 11 years.  Many of our leases include options to renew at our discretion.  We include the lease renewal option periods in the calculation of our operating lease assets

5.9


and liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will renew the lease.  We also lease certain equipment under finance leases that expire generally within 60 months.

As discussed in Note 1, we adopted ASC 842 effective July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective adoption method, which resulted in an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $0.6 million as of July 1, 2019 to recognize impairment of the opening right-of-use asset balance for two stores for which assets had been previously impaired under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.”

We utilized the simplified transition option available in ASC 842, which allowed the continued application of the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption.

We determine whether an agreement contains a lease at inception based on our right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. Lease liabilities represent the present value of future lease payments and the right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use the underlying assets for the respective lease terms.

The operating lease liability is measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments and the ROU asset is derived from the calculation of the operating lease liability.  As our leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to calculate the present value of lease payments.  The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate that would be required to borrow over a similar term, on a collateralized basis in a similar economic environment.

Rent escalations occurring during the term of the leases are included in the calculation of the future minimum lease payments and the rent expense related to these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  In addition to minimum lease payments, certain leases require payment of a proportionate share of real estate taxes and certain building operating expenses allocated on a percentage of sales in excess of a specified base.  These variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset or lease liability due to unpredictability of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred.  The ROU asset is adjusted to account for previously recorded lease-related expenses such as deferred rent and other lease liabilities.

Our lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or significant restrictions or covenants other than those customary in such arrangements.

For the quarters and year to date periods ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and MarchDecember 31, 2018, all options representing the rights to purchase approximately 2.8 million weighted average shares respectively,and 4.0 million weighted average shares were not included in the dilutivediluted income per share calculation, because the assumed exercise of such options would have been anti-dilutive.  For the six months ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, options and awards representing rights to purchase approximately 3.0 million weighted average shares and 3.9 million weighted average shares were excluded from the diluted income per share calculation, because the assumed exercise of such options and awards would have been anti-dilutive.

 

6.7.      Revolving credit facility — We are party to a credit agreement providing for an asset-based, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $180.0 million which matures on January 29, 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which originally was scheduled to mature on August 18, 2020.  On January 29, 2019, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity date to January 29, 2024.. The availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of a calculated borrowing base and the lenders’

11


aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. Our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which affect, among others, our ability to incur liens or incur additional indebtedness, change the nature of our business, sell assets or merge or consolidate with any other entity, or make investments or acquisitions unless they meet certain requirements. The Revolving Credit Facility requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio at any time that our availability is less than the greater of 10% of our calculated borrowing base or $12.5 million.  Our Revolving Credit Facility, in some instances, limits our ability to pay cash dividends and repurchase our common stock. In order for the borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility, our subsidiary, to make a restricted payment to us for the payment of a dividend or a repurchase of shares, we are required to, among other things, maintain availability of 20% of the lesser of our calculated borrowing base or our lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility on a pro forma basis for a specified period prior to and immediately following the restricted payment. As of MarchDecember 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the Revolving Credit Facility covenants.  

At MarchDecember 31, 2019, we had $35.2$3.6 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, $11.0$8.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and availability of $71.1$91.4 million.  Letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility are generally for self-insurance purposes. We incur commitment fees of up to 0.25% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly. Any borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility incurs interest at the prime rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, at our election (except with respect to swing loans, which incur interest solely at the prime rate plus the applicable margin), subject to a floor of oneone- month LIBOR  plus an applicable margin in the case of loans based on the prime rate.  Interest expense for the thirdsecond quarter of the current fiscal year from the Revolving Credit Facility of $0.5$0.7 million was comprised of interest of $0.3$0.6 million, commitment fees of less than $0.1 million and the amortization of financing fees of less than $0.1 million. Interest expense for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year from the Revolving Credit Facility of $0.8 million was comprised of interest of $0.6 million, commitment fees of $0.1 million and the amortization of financing fees of $0.1 million. Interest expense for the third quarterfirst six months of the priorcurrent fiscal year from the Revolving Credit Facility of $0.5$1.4 million was comprised of interest of $0.3$1.1 million, commitment fees of $0.1$0.2 million and the amortization of financing fees of $0.1 million. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2019second quarter of $1.9the prior fiscal year from the Revolving Credit Facility of $1.4 million was comprised of interest of $1.3$1.0 million, commitment fees of $0.3$0.2 million and the amortization of financing fees of $0.3 million. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 of $1.5 million was comprised of interest of $0.8 million, commitment fees of $0.4 million, and the amortization of financing fees of $0.3$0.2 million.

The fair value of the Company’s debt approximated its carrying amount as of MarchDecember 31, 2019.

 

7.8.      Depreciation — Accumulated depreciation of owned property and equipment at Marchas of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 20182019 was $173.5$175.5 million and $157.0$179.7 million, respectively.  Upon determining that a long-lived asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and records the assets at the lower of fair value, net of selling costs, or the carrying amount of the asset. As of December 31, 2019, we committed to a plan to sell certain non-core property associated with our Dallas distribution center facility and concluded that the criteria were met for recording these assets as held for sale.  The estimated fair value of these assets was higher than the carrying amount, therefore the assets were reclassified on our balance sheet from Property and equipment, net to Assets held for sale at their carrying amount, with no impact to the statement of operations.

 

 

8.9.      Income taxes — The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state and local taxing jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for years through fiscal 2013.2014.  The Internal Revenue Service has concluded an examination of the Company for years ending on or before June 30, 2010.

 

The effective tax rates for the quarters ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were (1.6%(3.8%) and 0.3%(1.4%), respectively. The effective tax rates for the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were (8.6%(1.4%) and 3.6%(1.3%), respectively. The income tax benefit in the prior year included a favorable tax impact of approximately $0.6 million resulting from the release of a valuation allowance on deferred taxes due to enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), as discussed further below.   A full valuation allowance is currently recorded against substantially all of the Company’s other deferred tax assets. A deviation from the customary relationship between income tax expense/(benefit) and pretax income/(loss) results from the effects of the valuation allowance.

 

We have completed our accounting for the impact of the enactment of the TCJA, within the one year measurement period ending December 22, 2018, as required under the rules issued by the SEC.  Through the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we applied the provisions of the newly enacted TCJA, resulting in an approximate $0.6 million income tax benefit connected with future refunds of alternative minimum tax credits no longer requiring a valuation allowance.  The impact of the new tax law, including the remeasurement of our deferred taxes at the new corporate tax rate, did not have a material impact on our deferred taxes as substantially all of our other deferred tax assets have corresponding valuation allowances.  The Company currently expects the effect of the TCJA to have a nominal impact on its annual effective tax rate, given its cumulative loss position and the related valuation allowance.

10


9.10.      Cash and cash equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include credit card receivables and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  At MarchAs of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018,2019, credit card receivables from third party consumer credit card providers were $11.3$2.0 million and $7.9$9.7 million, respectively.  Such receivables are generally collected within one week of the balance sheet date.

 

10.11.      Intellectual property — Our intellectual property primarily consists of indefinite lived trademarks. We evaluate annually whether the trademarks continue to have an indefinite life. Trademarks and other intellectual property are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, and may be reviewed more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. As of MarchDecember 31, 2019, the carrying value of the intellectual property, which included indefinite-lived trademarks, was $1.3 million, and no impairment was identified or recorded.

 

11.     Cease use liability — Amounts in “Accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019 include the current portions of accruals for the net present value of future minimum lease payments, net of estimated sublease income, attributable to closed stores with remaining lease obligations.  There was no cease use liability at March 31, 2019.  The cease use liability at June 30, 2018 was $77 thousand, and was all classified as short-term. Expenses related to store closings are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

12.    Sale-leaseback —During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction to sell two buildings and land utilized in our Dallas distribution center operations, which we did not consider part of our long-term distribution network, and leased back these facilities through December 2017. We subsequently exercised our option to extend the related lease through March 2018, which was accounted for as an operating lease and has now expired. We had no continuing involvement with the properties sold other than a normal leaseback.

The consideration received for the sale, as reduced by closing and transaction costs, was $8.8 million, and the net book value of properties sold was $5.2 million, resulting in a $3.6 million gain. The gain recognized in fiscal 2016 was $2.5 million, which included the portion of the gain in excess of the present value of the minimum lease payments for the leaseback, and was included in “Other income” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.  During fiscal 2017, we recognized $0.7 million of the gain. During the first three months of fiscal 2018, we recognized $0.2 million of the gain.  The final $0.2 million gain deferred on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2017 was classified as short-term and was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

13.  Capital lease — During fiscal 2017, we entered into a 5-year capital lease maturing on January 31, 2022 for equipment and software. At March 31, 2019, the capital lease asset balance was $0.5 million, the current lease liability was $0.2 million and the long-term lease liability was $0.3 million. The capital lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis. Capital lease amortization was less than $0.1 million in the third quarter of both fiscal 2019 and 2018.

14.  Recent accounting pronouncements — In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118),” which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. As discussed in Note 8, the Company has completed its analysis of the effects of the TCJA within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118.

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), which provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues in regard to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, and required adoption on a retrospective basis.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which is intended to improve financial reporting in connection with leasing transactions. ASU 2016-02 will require entities (“lessees”) that lease assets with lease terms of more than twelve months to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or finance, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for finance leases. Accounting by entities that own the assets leased by lessees (“lessors”) will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective approach is required for all leases existing or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”), which provided an additional transition option that allows companies to continue applying the guidance under the current lease standard in the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Companies that elect this option would record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. The Company currently plans to elect this transition option.  The Company will

11


adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. While the Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02, including which practical expedients to apply and assessing the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures, the primary effect of adopting the new standard will be to record assets and obligations for current operating leases.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), an updated standard on revenue recognition, and has since modified the standard with additional ASUs. The new guidance provides enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is reported while also improving comparability in the financial statements of companies reporting using IFRS and GAAP. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration, or payment, to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective method, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.  See Note 2 for further information.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019.

Business Overview

We are one of the original off-price retailers and a leading destination for unique home and lifestyle goods.  We are a closeoutan off-price retailer, selling high-quality products at prices generally below those found in boutique, specialty and department stores, catalogs and on-line retailers.  Our customers come to us for an ever-changing, exceptional assortment of brand names at great prices.  Our strong value proposition has established a loyal customer base, who we engage regularly with social media, email, direct mail, digital media and newspaper circulars.

During the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2019,2020, while at a more moderate pace, we continued to implement our strategy of improving store locations and the in-store experience for our customers, which includes (i) closing less productive stores with limited foot traffic and relocating some of these stores to, or opening new stores in, better locations with footprints thatcustomers.  Additionally, we are focused on average four to six thousand square feet larger, (ii) expanding some existing stores to a larger footprint, and (iii) improving the finishes in these relocated, new and expanded stores.successfully renegotiating our store lease terms.  

We operated 712705 stores in 39 states as of December 31, 2019. Our store base decreased from 720 stores in 40 states as of March 31, 2019.  As part of the implementation of our real estate strategy, our store base decreased from 724 stores in 40 states as of MarchDecember 31, 2018.

Net sales for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20192020 were $211$324.4 million, a decrease of 5.5%4.1%, compared to $223.3$338.4 million for the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in sales from comparable stores (stores(which we define as stores open at least five quarters, including stores relocated in the same market and renovated stores) of 5.3%3.0%.

Results of Operations

Our business is highly seasonal, with a significant portion of our net sales and most of our operating income generated in the quarter ending December 31.

There can be no assurance that the trends in sales or operating results will continue in the future.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define EBITDA as net income or net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash items and other items that we believe are not representative of our core operating performance. These measures are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss as a measure of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered as, alternatives to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustments. We believe it is useful for investors to see these EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures that management uses to evaluate our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are included to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because we use these measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of our business as a supplement to GAAP measures and we believe the presentation of these non-GAAP measures enhances investors’ ability to analyze trends in our business and evaluate our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. The non-GAAP measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Revolving Credit Facility

We are party to a credit agreement providing for an asset-based, five year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $180.0 million that originally was scheduled to maturematures on August 18, 2020.  On January 29, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Revolving2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to January 29, 2024.Facility”). The availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of a calculated borrowing base and the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. Our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which affect, among others, our ability to incur liens or incur additional indebtedness, change the nature of our business, sell assets or merge or consolidate with any other entity, or make investments or acquisitions unless they meet certain requirements. The Revolving Credit Facility requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio at any time that our availability is less than the greater of 10% of our calculated borrowing base or $12.5 million. Our Revolving Credit Facility may, in some instances, limit our ability to pay cash dividends and repurchase our common stock. In order for the borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility, our subsidiary, to make a restricted payment to us for the, payment of a dividend or a repurchase of shares, we must, among other things, maintain availability of 20% of the lesser of our calculated borrowing base or our lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility on a pro forma basis for a specified period prior to and immediately following the restricted payment.

At MarchAs of December 31, 2019, we had $35.2$3.6 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, $11.0$8.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and availability of $71.1$91.4 million. Letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility are generally for self-insurance purposes. We incur commitment fees of up to 0.25% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly. Any borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility incurs interest at the prime rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, at our election

17


(except (except with respect to swing loans, which incur interest solely at the prime rate plus the applicable margin), subject to a floor of one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin in the case of loans based on the prime rate.  Interest expense for the thirdsecond quarter of the current fiscal year from the Revolving Credit Facility of $0.5$0.7 million was comprised of interest of $0.3$0.6 million, commitment fees of less than $0.1 million and the amortization of financing fees of less than $0.1 million. Interest expense for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year from the Revolving Credit Facility of $0.8 million was comprised of interest of $0.6 million, commitment fees of $0.1 million and the amortization of financing fees of $0.1 million.  Interest expense for the third quarterfirst six months of the priorcurrent fiscal year from the Revolving Credit Facility of $0.5$1.4 million was comprised of interest of $0.3$1.1 million, commitment fees of $0.1$0.2 million and the amortization of financing fees of $0.1 million.

Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 of $1.5 million was comprised of interest of $0.8 million, commitment fees of $0.4 million, and the amortization of financing fees of $0.3$0.2 million.

Liquidity

We have financed our operations with funds generated from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.  Cash and cash equivalents as of MarchDecember 31, 2019 and 2018, were $13.8$4.9 million and $12.3$6.1 million, respectively. Our cash flows will continue to be utilized for the operation of our business and the use of any excess cash will be determined by the Board of Directors. Our borrowings have historically peaked during our second fiscal quarter as we build inventory levels prior to the holiday selling season. Given the seasonality of our business, the amount of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility may fluctuate materially depending on various factors, including the time of year, our strategic investment needs and the opportunity to acquire merchandise inventory. Our primary uses for cash provided by operating activities relate to funding our ongoing business activities and planned capital expenditures. We may also use available cash to repurchase shares of our common stock. We believe funds generated from our operations, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next year. If our capital resources are not sufficient to fund our operations, we may seek additional debt or equity financing. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on reasonable terms.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of MarchDecember 31, 2019.

As of MarchDecember 31, 2019, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business from the disclosures relating to contractual obligations contained under “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019.

Critical Accounting Policies

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a recurring basis, we evaluate our significant estimates

17


which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Other than as described in Note 141 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as of MarchDecember 31, 2019, there were no changes to our critical accounting policies from those listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019.

Under the retail inventory method, permanent markdowns result in cost reductions in inventory at the time the markdowns are taken.  We also utilize promotional markdowns for specific marketing efforts used to drive higher sales volume and customer transactions for a specified period of time.  Promotional markdowns do not impact the value of unsold inventory and thus do not impact cost of sales until the merchandise is sold.  Markdowns and damages during the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20192020 were 4.6%5.0% of sales compared to 4.1%4.4% of sales for the same period last year. If our sales forecasts are not achieved, we may be required to record additional markdowns that could exceed historical levels. The effect of a 0.5% markdown in the value of our inventory at MarchDecember 31, 2019 would result in a decline in gross profit and earningsdiluted income per share for the second quarter of fiscal 20192020 of $1.2$1.0 million and $0.03,$0.02, respectively.

For a further discussion of the judgments we make in applying our accounting policies, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on our management’s evaluation (with participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of MarchDecember 31, 2019 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that their objectives are met and, as set forth above, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that their objectives were met.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
