Tilly's, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Operating Results

GAAP Net Loss Per Share of $(0.65); Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share of $(0.48)

Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share in Middle of Outlook Range

Tilly’s, Inc. (NYSE: TLYS, the "Company") today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 ended May 4, 2024.

"Our business continues to face many headwinds from the macro environment, but we believe we are making progress on improving our product margins and driving greater customer engagement through our marketing efforts," commented Hezy Shaked, Co-Founder and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we expect it to remain difficult to improve our sales results in the near term, we believe the efforts we are making now will produce benefits in the future when the current environment improves."

Operating Results Overview

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Operating Results Overview

The following comparisons refer to the Company's operating results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 ended May 4, 2024 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2023 ended April 29, 2023.

  • Total net sales were $115.9 million, a decrease of $7.8 million or 6.3%, compared to $123.6 million last year. Total comparable net sales, including both physical stores and e-commerce ("e-com"), decreased by 9.4% relative to the 13-week period ended May 6, 2023.
    • Net sales from physical stores were $92.8 million, a decrease of $5.0 million or 5.1%, compared to $97.8 million last year, with a comparable store net sales decrease of 8.6%. Net sales from physical stores represented 80.1% of total net sales this year compared to 79.1% of total net sales last year. The Company ended the first quarter with 246 total stores compared to 248 total stores at the end of the first quarter last year.
    • Net sales from e-com were $23.0 million, a decrease of $2.8 million or 10.8%, compared to $25.8 million last year. E-com net sales represented 19.9% of total net sales this year compared to 20.9% of total net sales last year.
  • Gross profit, including buying, distribution, and occupancy costs, was $24.3 million, or 21.0% of net sales, compared to $25.9 million, or 21.0% of net sales, last year. Product margins improved by 130 basis points primarily due to the combination of a lower markdown rate and improved initial markups. Buying, distribution, and occupancy costs deleveraged by 130 basis points collectively, despite being $0.8 million lower than last year, primarily due to carrying these costs against lower net sales this year.
  • Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $45.1 million, or 38.9% of net sales, compared to $43.2 million, or 34.9% of net sales, last year. The $1.9 million increase in SG&A was primarily attributable to an increase in non-cash store asset impairment charges of $1.5 million and an increase in store payroll and related benefits of $1.0 million due primarily to average wage rate increases. These increases were partially offset by a variety of smaller expense decreases.
  • Operating loss was $20.8 million, or 17.9% of net sales, compared to $17.3 million, or 14.0% of net sales, last year, due to the combined impact of the factors noted above.
  • Income tax benefit was $13,000 or 0.1% of pre-tax loss, compared to $4.2 million, or 26.1% of pre-tax loss, last year. The decrease in this quarter's effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the continuing impact of a full, non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance (the "valuation allowance"). On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the valuation allowance, income tax benefit was $5.2 million, or 26.4% of pre-tax loss.
  • Net loss was $19.6 million, or $0.65 net loss per share, compared to $12.0 million, or $0.40 net loss per share, last year. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the valuation allowance, this year's net loss was $14.5 million, or $0.48 net loss per share. Weighted average shares were 30.0 million this year compared to 29.8 million shares last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures including "non-GAAP income tax benefit," "non-GAAP net loss," and "non-GAAP net loss per share." These amounts are not in accordance with, and should not be construed as an alternative to, the most directly comparable corresponding GAAP measure. The Company’s management believes that these measures help provide investors with insight into the underlying comparable financial results, excluding items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company’s core day-to-day operating results.

For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see the accompanying table titled “Supplemental Financial Information; Reconciliation of Select GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” contained in this press release.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of May 4, 2024, the Company had $68.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt outstanding compared to $93.4 million and no debt outstanding as of April 29, 2023. Total inventories increased 1.8% as of May 4, 2024 compared to April 29, 2023. Total year-to-date capital expenditures at the end of the first quarter were $2.1 million this year compared to $4.3 million last year.

Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Outlook

Total comparable net sales for fiscal May ended June 1, 2024, decreased by (8.4)% relative to the comparable four-week period last year. Based on current quarter-to-date comparable net sales results and current and historical trends, the Company currently estimates the following for the second quarter of fiscal 2024:

  • Net sales to be in the range of approximately $160 million to $165 million, translating to an estimated comparable net sales decrease in the range of approximately (10)% to (7)%, respectively, relative to the comparable 13-week period last year;
  • SG&A expenses to be in the range of $48 million to $49 million in the absence of any non-cash store asset impairment charges;
  • Effective income tax rate of near-zero due to the continuing impact of the valuation allowance;
  • After-tax results to be in the range of a net loss of approximately $(3.9) million to $(0.9) million, respectively; and
  • Per share results to be in the range of a net loss of $(0.13) to $(0.03), respectively, with estimated weighted average shares of approximately 29.9 million.

The Company currently expects to have 247 total stores open at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 246 at the end of last year's second quarter.
