BIG LOTS REPORTS 2002 EPS GROWTH OF 154%
COMPANY TO LAUNCH NATIONAL TV ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
ISSUES 2003 EARNINGS GUIDANCE
Columbus, Ohio — February 26, 2003 — Big Lots, Inc. (NYSE: BLI) today reported net income for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2003, of $76.6 million, or $0.66 per share, versus a net loss from continuing operations last year of $28.7 million, or $0.25 per share. Net income for the quarter ended February 1, 2003 was $66.2 million, or $0.57 per share, compared to a fourth quarter loss from continuing operations of $1.9 million last year, or $0.02 per share. Last year’s reported net income was impacted by a fourth quarter non-cash charge. Excluding this charge, adjusted 2001 earnings from continuing operations for the year and fourth quarter were $0.26 and $0.50, respectively. The Company’s 2002 EPS of $0.66 represented an increase of 154% over last year’s adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $0.26 per share and was in line with Thomson Financial/First Call’s consensus forecast.
Net sales for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2003 were $3,868.5 million, a 12.7% increase compared to sales of $3,433.3 million for the same period of 2001. Comparable store sales for stores open two years at the beginning of the fiscal year were up 7.7% for the full year behind a 2.8% increase in customer transactions and a 4.9% increase in the value of the average basket.
Net sales for the quarter ended February 1, 2003 increased 6.9% to $1,217.0 million compared to sales of $1,138.2 million for 2001. Comparable store sales for stores open two years at the beginning of the fiscal year were up 2.1% in the fourth quarter as a 4.2% increase in the value of the average basket was partially offset by a 2.1% decrease in customer transactions.
Commenting on the results, Michael J. Potter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very pleased to report strong sales and earnings growth for 2002, particularly given the challenging economic and retail environment during most of the year. Significant increases in customer transactions combined with growth in the value of the average basket drove a 7.7% increase in comparable store sales. The strong sales growth translated into substantial earnings growth, with the operating margin increasing from 2.0% of sales last year to 3.8% this year and EPS up 154% over the prior year. The growth in sales, customer transactions, operating margin, and earnings demonstrates to us that the repositioning strategy begun almost two years ago has restored growth and momentum to the business.”
Mr. Potter continued, “The fourth quarter was characterized by continued sales and earnings growth, with a 2.1% comparable store sales increase, in line with the performance of other value-oriented retailers, and net income growth of 16%. However, the growth rate in our business slowed during the fourth quarter, which we believe reflected the overall retail environment combined with the shorter Christmas selling season. When it mattered most during the all-important holiday shopping season, the customer responded as we posted our first December double-digit comp store sales increase in the Company’s history. This strong December comp followed a weak November comp of minus 6%, as customers bought toys and Christmas trim-a-tree closer to need. January comps of 1% were impacted by unfavorable weather across the country, weak demand for seasonal lawn & garden and spring decorative merchandise as well as the disruption of inventory flow in these categories due to the west coast longshoremen’s dispute. Excluding seasonal categories, comp stores sales were up 3%, 7% and 5% for November, December, and January, respectively.”
“Inventory management coupled with opportunistic buying led to the fourth consecutive quarter in which our gross margin rate increased by more than 100 basis points over prior year,” Mr. Potter added. “This level of improvement allowed us to pass significant savings on to our customers, aggressively promote seasonal merchandise, and enter 2003 with in-store inventory levels up only 1% to last year. We will continue to focus on tight management of inventories and expenses. This discipline enabled us to reduce our net debt to $60 million, down $126 million compared to last year, and the lowest year-end level in the last 8 years.”
Mr. Potter stated, “Looking ahead, we believe momentum in our non-seasonal businesses combined with improving inventory levels in our seasonal categories leave us well positioned for the spring season. We began February with lawn & garden inventories comparable to last year, and expect spring decorative inventories to be on plan by the end of the month. Improving inventory levels in these categories provide us the ability to drive sales growth as weather conditions become more comparable to prior year. While we’re cautious about the overall retail environment, we are encouraged by the underlying trend in our non-seasonal businesses as well as the solid growth in customer counts, sales, and earnings over the past twelve months.”
Mr. Potter concluded, “Today we are announcing a series of initiatives for 2003 which build upon the momentum of 2002. This operating plan includes the launch of our first national television advertising campaign, the extension of our successful store remodel program to eastern U.S. markets, the expansion of our highly productive furniture business, continued progress in major supply chain initiatives, and the construction of our fifth distribution center. Our management team is highly energized around these initiatives which should allow us to continue to leverage our unique, differentiated position as the nation’s largest broadline closeout retailer, and drive sales and earnings growth in 2003 and beyond.”
2003 Outlook
The Company has issued 2003 EPS guidance of $0.74 to $0.78 per share, which reflects net income growth of 15% – 20% compared to 2002. These estimates are based on a comparable store sales increase in the mid-single digit range with total sales up in the high single digit range. The Company expects the gross margin rate to be in-line with 2002 results, with improving markdown management partially offset by slightly lower initial markup. The selling, general and administrative expense rate is expected to decrease by approximately 10-50 basis points versus prior year due to improved supply chain productivity, as well as the compounding effect of an improving sales trend over an expense base with a large fixed cost component. Interest expense for 2003 is expected to be approximately $18 to $19 million, down versus 2002 as a result of lower average borrowings.
For the first quarter of 2003, the Company’s plan calls for EPS in the range of $0.07 to $0.11 per share based on a low single digit comparable store sales gain. As previously communicated, the Company’s original plan called for a February same store sales increase in the low single digits against last year’s industry leading 14.0% increase. In light of the unfavorable weather conditions throughout the month, the Company now expects February comparable store sales to be in the negative low-single digit range. As a result of the timing of Easter, March comparable store sales are expected to decrease in the low single digits while April comparable store sales are planned to increase in the mid single digits.
The Company announced the following series of initiatives for 2003:
| | • | | The launch of the Company’s first ever national television advertising campaign in April 2003, two years ahead of the original plan, providing a cost effective way to leverage the Company’s single brand and increase consumer brand awareness, |
| |
| | • | | The opening of 90 new stores (60 net of closings), |
| |
| | • | | The continued expansion of the furniture business by adding 145 departments into both new and existing stores, |
| |
| | • | | The continuation of the store remodel program by remodeling over 200 stores in eastern U.S. markets, many of which will include expanded furniture departments, |
| |
| | • | | The implementation of certain elements of the Company’s Ohio L.A.B. stores, primarily in new and remodeled stores, |
| |
| | • | | Continued progress on key supply chain initiatives, and |
| |
| | • | | The construction of a fifth distribution center, to be located in Durant, OK. |
The Company’s guidance for each of the quarters of 2003 is provided in the attached table.
