- Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.72
- Distributed $800 Million through 14.1 Million Shares Repurchased in the Quarter

- Company Confirms Full Year Sales and EPS Guidance
GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2014--Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) today reported financial results for its 2014 first quarter (13 weeks) ended May 2, 2014.
“Dollar General’s first quarter same-store sales improvement of 1.5 percent was driven by growth in our consumables business and, overall, reflected the challenges of unfavorable winter weather, heightened competition and the current economic environment,” said Rick Dreiling, Dollar General’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Even as these factors weighed on our sales results, we saw trends improve as we moved through the quarter and we delivered EPS of $0.72, which was in line with our guidance.
“We continue to grow both our customer traffic and average transaction amount as our merchandising initiatives reinforce our affordability and value messaging. Sales trends began to improve in April and have continued to gain momentum. We are pleased to see that our merchandising strategies are gaining traction with a strengthening of sales in both consumables and non-consumables in our second quarter to date. Looking ahead, we are confirming our sales and EPS guidance for the year, and we are confident that we have the right strategies to drive long-term shareholder value.”
The Company’s net income was $222 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the 2014 first quarter, compared to net income of $220 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, and adjusted net income of $232 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the 2013 first quarter. Adjusted net income for the 2013 period is defined below.
Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding specifically identified expenses. Adjustments in the 2013 first quarter included a loss of $18.9 million associated with restructuring the Company’s credit facility, expenses totaling $1.0 million relating to secondary offerings and the related income tax effects of these adjustments. A reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income is presented in the accompanying schedules.
Financial Highlights
Net sales increased 6.8 percent to $4.52 billion in the 2014 first quarter compared to $4.23 billion in the 2013 first quarter. Same-store sales increased 1.5 percent resulting from increases in both customer traffic and average transaction amount. Sales increases in consumables significantly outpaced the Company’s non-consumable categories, led by increased sales of tobacco products, perishables and candy and snacks. Sales were impacted by unfavorable weather conditions during much of the quarter, a competitive retail environment and continued financial pressures on the Company’s core customers.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 30.0 percent in the 2014 first quarter, a decrease of 57 basis points from the 2013 first quarter. The majority of the gross profit rate decrease was due to consumables comprising a larger portion of net sales, primarily as a result of increased sales of lower margin consumables, including tobacco and perishable products. In addition, markdowns were higher in the 2014 first quarter, primarily related to increased promotional activity, partially offset by higher initial markups on inventory purchases.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) as a percentage of sales was 21.6 percent in the 2014 first quarter compared to 21.3 percent in the 2013 first quarter, an increase of 37 basis points. The moderate same-store sales growth in the quarter was a primary factor in the deleverage of SG&A. Rent and utilities expenses were significant contributors to the overall increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales. These costs were partially offset by workers’ compensation and general liability expenses which declined in the 2014 period compared to the 2013 period.
Interest expense decreased to $22 million in the 2014 first quarter compared to $25 million in the 2013 first quarter despite an increase in long-term obligations incurred to repurchase shares under the Company’s share repurchase program. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower all-in interest rates, primarily resulting from a refinancing of the Company’s credit facilities in the 2013 first quarter.
The effective income tax rate in the 2014 first quarter was 37.8 percent compared to 37.4 percent in the 2013 first quarter. The effective tax rate increased approximately 100 basis points due to the expiration of various federal job credit programs (primarily the Work Opportunity Tax Credit) for eligible employees hired after December 31, 2013. Partially offsetting this tax rate increase were benefits recognized due to the favorable resolution of several state tax examinations.
Merchandise Inventories
As of May 2, 2014, total merchandise inventories, at cost, were $2.61 billion compared to $2.41 billion as of May 3, 2013, an increase of one percent on a per-store basis.
Long-Term Obligations
As of May 2, 2014, outstanding long-term obligations, including the current portion, were $3.11 billion compared to outstanding long-term obligations of $2.84 billion as of May 3, 2013, a net increase of $271 million, primarily incurred to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock during the first quarter of 2014.
Capital Expenditures
Total additions to property and equipment in the 2014 first quarter were $84 million, including: $27 million for improvements, upgrades, remodels and relocations of existing stores; $25 million related to new leased stores, primarily for leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment; $14 million for information systems upgrades and technology-related projects; $12 million for distribution and transportation-related capital expenditures; and $6 million for stores built by the Company. During the 2014 first quarter, the Company opened 214 new stores.
Share Repurchases
In the 2014 first quarter, the Company repurchased 14.1 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at a total cost of $800 million. Since the inception of the program in December 2011, the Company has repurchased 44.5 million shares totaling $2.3 billion. Authorizations for an additional $223 million of share repurchases remain available under the Company’s current share repurchase program.
Fiscal 2014 Financial Outlook
For the 2014 fiscal year, the Company expects total sales to increase 8 to 9 percent over the 2013 fiscal year, with same-store sales expected to increase 3 to 4 percent. Diluted EPS for the fiscal year is expected to be approximately $3.45 to $3.55.
Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $450 million to $500 million in 2014. The Company plans to open approximately 700 new stores in 2014 and to relocate or remodel, using the Company’s traditional remodel criteria, approximately 500 stores. In addition, the Company plans to complete approximately 400 limited scope (“lifecycle”) remodels.
The volatility of the macroeconomic environment continues to pressure the consumer and impact the Company’s cost of purchasing and delivering merchandise to its stores. Management continues to closely monitor customers’ responses to the economic and competitive climates.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
Certain financial information provided in this press release and the accompanying tables has not been derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding specifically identified expenses, and adjusted EPS reflects adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. In addition to historical results, guidance for fiscal 2014 is based on comparable adjustments. The Company believes that providing comparisons to net income and EPS, adjusted for the items shown in the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information to the reader in assessing the Company’s operating performance as these measures are more indicative of the Company’s operations and provide an additional relevant comparison of the Company’s performance across periods. Adjustments to net income and EPS in 2013 included $1.0 million relating to secondary offerings of the Company’s common stock and $18.9 million of debt refinancing costs, both in the 2013 first quarter, and $8.5 million in the 2013 second quarter resulting from a legal settlement, with each of these items adjusted for the impact of income taxes, as well as an income tax benefit in the 2013 third quarter of $6.0 million resulting from the reversal of income tax reserves that were established in 2009.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are provided in the accompanying schedules. In addition, for reference, the schedules also include calculations of SG&A and operating profit, excluding certain items.
