Positive
  • Comparable brick-and-mortar store sales increased by 1.8%
  • Gross profit margin expanded by 100 basis points to 20.5%
  • Operating loss improved by $4.8 million compared to Q2 2023
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss improved by $3.3 million compared to Q2 2023
  • Inventory decreased by 6.3% compared to the prior year quarter
  • Implemented cost savings initiatives expected to yield $6 million in savings for fiscal 2024
Negative
  • Overall comparable sales decreased by 1.7%
  • E-commerce sales declined by 10.6%
  • Net sales decreased from $89.5 million in Q2 2023 to $86.3 million in Q2 2024
  • Operating loss of $13.3 million
  • Net loss of $14.5 million or $1.11 per diluted share
  • Cash balance of only $4.5 million with $62.7 million in outstanding debt

Kirkland's Home Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While net sales decreased to $86.3 million from $89.5 million last year, there are some positive indicators. The 1.8% growth in comparable brick-and-mortar stores is encouraging, offsetting the 10.6% decline in e-commerce sales. The gross profit margin expansion of 100 bps to 20.5% is a bright spot, driven by increased merchandise margin and lower outbound freight costs.

The operating loss improvement of $4.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA loss reduction of $3.3 million indicate that cost-cutting measures are having an impact. However, with $62.7 million in outstanding debt and only $4.5 million in cash, liquidity remains a concern. The company's reliance on seasonal sales to reduce borrowing levels in Q3 and Q4 adds risk to their financial position.

The ongoing strategic alternatives review and cost savings initiatives are critical. While the expected $7 million in annual pre-tax savings is positive, it may not be sufficient given the current financial situation. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to execute its turnaround strategy and improve its liquidity position in the coming quarters.

Kirkland's Home's Q2 results reflect the ongoing challenges in the retail sector, particularly for specialty home décor retailers. The 1.7% decrease in overall comparable sales, despite growth in brick-and-mortar stores, highlights the shifting consumer preferences and the struggle to maintain e-commerce momentum post-pandemic.

The company's focus on re-engaging core customers and refining its product assortment is important in this competitive landscape. The positive early response to the fall and holiday assortment is encouraging, but the company needs to capitalize on this to drive significant improvements in the critical second half of the year.

The omnichannel strategy remains a key area for improvement, given the stark contrast between in-store and online performance. Kirkland's must address the 10.6% decline in e-commerce sales to remain competitive in the evolving retail environment. The closure of 4 stores, bringing the total to 325, suggests a continued focus on optimizing the store network, which could help improve overall efficiency if executed well.

Kirkland's Home's Q2 results and ongoing strategic initiatives paint a picture of a company in transition. The implementation of cost savings measures, including reductions in corporate overhead, store payroll and marketing expenses, demonstrates a commitment to improving profitability. However, these cuts must be balanced against the need for investment in key areas like e-commerce and product development.

The review of strategic alternatives is a critical process that could reshape the company's future. This could potentially lead to a range of outcomes, from securing new financing to exploring M&A opportunities or even considering a sale of the company. The lack of a set deadline for this process allows for thorough evaluation but may also create uncertainty for investors.

The company's seasonal business model, with heavy reliance on Q3 and Q4 performance, adds complexity to its financial management. The current debt levels and cash reserves make it imperative for Kirkland's to have a strong holiday season. The success of the fall and holiday assortment will be important not just for sales, but for the company's overall financial health and strategic positioning going forward.

Management Commentary

Amy Sullivan, CEO of Kirkland's Home, said, "Our second quarter comparable sales results reflect a sequential improvement from the first quarter and continued progress against our strategic initiatives. Our merchandising and marketing plans have continued to drive traffic to our stores resulting in positive comparable sales performance in the channel helping to offset the headwinds we are experiencing with our e-commerce business. Toward the end of the quarter, we began to introduce our fall and holiday assortment, and we are encouraged by our early reads, giving us further confidence in our plans for the second half of the year and our peak selling season. Through our ongoing efforts to re-engage our core customer, refocus our product assortment, and strengthen our omnichannel capabilities, we are positioning Kirkland's for improved financial performance and long-term success."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net sales in the second quarter of 2024 were $86.3 million, compared to $89.5 million in the prior year quarter. Comparable sales decreased 1.7%, including a 10.6% decline in e-commerce sales and a 1.8% increase in comparable store sales. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in consolidated average ticket and e-commerce traffic, partially offset by an increase in store traffic and conversion.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2024 was $17.7 million, or 20.5% of net sales, compared to $17.4 million, or 19.5% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The improvement as a percentage of net sales was primarily a result of increased merchandise margin, largely due to favorable shrink results and lower outbound freight costs, partially offset by the deleverage of store occupancy costs.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $31.0 million, or 35.9% of net sales, compared to $35.5 million, or 39.7% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The decline in operating expenses was driven by reduced advertising costs, asset impairment charges and corporate salaries and benefits expenses. In addition, we received a state tax refund due to a recent change in state tax law that offset operating expenses in the quarter.

Operating loss in the second quarter of 2024 was $13.3 million compared to operating loss of $18.1 million in the prior year quarter. The improvement was primarily a result of the aforementioned lower operating expenses. Adjusted operating loss in the second quarter of 2024 was $12.7 million compared to adjusted operating loss of $16.6 million in the prior year quarter.

EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 was a loss of $10.8 million compared to a loss of $14.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 was a loss of $10.2 million compared to a loss of $13.5 million in the prior year quarter.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2024 was $14.5 million, or a loss of $1.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $19.4 million, or a loss of $1.51 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet

As of August 3, 2024, inventory was $92.8 million, a 6.3% decrease compared to the prior year quarter, mainly due to a 4.4% decrease in store count as well as the closure of one e-commerce distribution location in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

As of August 3, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $4.5 million, with $52.7 million of outstanding debt under its $90.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and $10.0 million of outstanding debt under its $12.0 million "first-in, last-out" asset-based term loan. As of August 3, 2024, the Company had approximately $7.9 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility and the term loan, after the minimum required excess availability covenant.

The Company's inventories are typically at seasonal lows during the first quarter of the fiscal year and begin to build as the second quarter progresses. Availability under the Company's revolving credit facility and term loan fluctuates largely based on eligible inventory levels, and as eligible inventory increases in the second and third fiscal quarters in support of the Company's back-half sales plans, the Company's borrowing capacity increases correspondingly. The Company anticipates that cash flow from seasonal sales in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024 will be used to reduce borrowing levels and increase liquidity.

Subsequent to August 3, 2024, the Company borrowed an additional $5.7 million under the revolving credit facility, and as of September 5, 2024, the Company had $58.4 million of outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility and $10.0 million in borrowings under its term loan.

Cost Savings Initiatives and Review of Strategic Alternatives

As previously announced, during the second quarter, the Company implemented several cost savings initiatives to better align its cost structure with the current business environment. The Company believes these actions are necessary as part of improving its profitability and liquidity trajectory while minimizing disruption to the Company's focus on its strategic initiatives and the overall customer experience. The cost savings initiatives include a reduction in corporate overhead, store payroll, marketing and third-party technology expenses. In the second through fourth quarters of fiscal 2024, the Company expects to realize approximately $6 million of savings and estimates approximately $7 million in ongoing annual pre-tax savings from these initiatives.

As previously disclosed, the Company is currently engaged in the pursuit and evaluation of potential strategic opportunities to support the Company and its initiatives.  This process is ongoing.  The Company has not set a deadline or definitive timetable for the completion of the strategic alternatives review process, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any particular outcome. The Company does not intend to comment further regarding the review of strategic alternatives until it determines disclosure is necessary or advisable.

These measures are not in accordance with, and are not intended as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes that they provide useful information to analysts and investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company's operational performance.

The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before interest and the provision for income tax, which is equivalent to operating loss, adjusted for depreciation and asset impairment, adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA with non-GAAP adjustments and adjusted operating loss as adjusted EBITDA including depreciation.

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP. Use of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP adjustments remove stock based compensation expense, due to the non-cash nature of this expense, and remove severance, as it fluctuates based on the needs of the business and does not represent a normal, recurring operating expense.

The following table shows an unaudited non-GAAP measure reconciliation of operating loss to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss (in thousands) for the periods indicated:
