Insights

Kirkland's Q3 2024 results show a mixed performance with some notable improvements. Net sales of $114.4 million represent a slight decline, with comparable sales down 3.0%. However, store performance improved with 1.6% comparable store growth despite hurricane disruptions.

The most significant improvements came from operational efficiency. Gross profit margin expanded by 1.8% to 28.1% and operating loss narrowed substantially to $2.4 million from $6.7 million year-over-year. The strategic partnership with Beyond, involving a $25 million investment, could strengthen Kirkland's financial position and provide growth opportunities through the Bed Bath & Beyond license.

However, concerning factors include high debt levels ($80.4 million outstanding) and cash ($6.8 million). The 14.9% decline in e-commerce sales is also worrying in today's digital retail environment.

The strategic pivot to become a multi-brand retailer through the Beyond partnership marks a significant transformation for Kirkland's. The exclusive license to operate Bed Bath & Beyond neighborhood stores could revitalize their brick-and-mortar presence and diversify revenue streams.

Cost management efforts are showing results, with reduced operating expenses dropping to 30.2% of net sales from 32.0%. The inventory position of $111.2 million, while 5.7% higher year-over-year, reflects adjusted timing rather than poor management.

However, the decline in e-commerce performance and consolidated average ticket is concerning, suggesting challenges in digital transformation and customer spending patterns. The success of this turnaround will heavily depend on executing the Beyond partnership and improving omni-channel capabilities.

Management Commentary

Amy Sullivan, CEO of Kirkland's, said, "The third quarter marked our fourth consecutive quarter of positive comparable store sales growth and significant year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. I am immensely proud of our team's ability to deliver progress towards our initiatives of re-engaging our core customer, refocusing our product assortment and strengthening our omni-channel capabilities while we continued to conservatively deploy capital based on our near-term financial priorities."

Ms. Sullivan continued, "This quarter also marked a pivotal moment for Kirkland's as we entered into a strategic partnership with Beyond enabling us to strengthen our financial position and providing new avenues for growth as the exclusive licensee of Bed Bath & Beyond neighborhood stores. We are thrilled to leverage our merchandising and brick-and-mortar strengths while positioning Kirkland's as a multi brand retailer, with the first Bed Bath & Beyond neighborhood store opening next year. We believe in the opportunities that lie ahead as we build the foundation for growth and drive value for all stakeholders."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2024 were $114.4 million, compared to $116.4 million in the prior year quarter. Comparable sales decreased 3.0% compared to the third quarter of 2023, including a 14.9% decline in e-commerce sales and a 1.6% increase in comparable store sales. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in consolidated average ticket and e-commerce conversion, partially offset by an increase in consolidated traffic and store conversion. Comparable sales performance in the quarter was also negatively impacted by approximately 1% related to hurricane disruptions across a significant portion of the store base.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2024 was $32.1 million, or 28.1% of net sales, compared to $30.7 million, or 26.3% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The improvement as a percentage of net sales was primarily a result of lower distribution center and outbound freight costs, partially offset by the deleverage of store occupancy costs and lower merchandise margins.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were $34.5 million, or 30.2% of net sales, compared to $37.3 million, or 32.0% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The decline in operating expenses was driven by reduced advertising costs, corporate salaries and asset impairment expenses.

Operating loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $2.4 million compared to operating loss of $6.7 million in the prior year quarter. The improvement was primarily a result of the aforementioned lower operating expenses and improved gross profit. Adjusted operating loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $1.9 million compared to adjusted operating loss of $6.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating loss removes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, severance charges, asset impairment, and any financing related legal or professional fees not subject to capitalization.

EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was a loss of $0.1 million compared to a loss of $3.6 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was income of $0.5 million compared to a loss of $3.2 million in the prior year quarter.

Loss on extinguishment of debt, related to the payoff of the "first-in, last-out" asset-based term loan (the "FILO Term Loan"), was $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2024, of which $2.6 million was for a prepayment penalty and the remainder was for the write off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $7.7 million, or a loss of $0.59 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.4 million, or a loss of $0.50 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted net loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $3.8 million, or an adjusted loss of $0.29 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $5.9 million, or an adjusted loss of $0.45 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net loss removes the impact of the loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, severance charges, asset impairment and any financing related legal or professional fees not subject to capitalization.

Balance Sheet

As of November 2, 2024, inventory was $111.2 million, a 5.7% increase compared to the prior year quarter, mainly due to inventory being received later in the current year compared to the prior year period.

As of November 2, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $6.8 million, with $65.0 million of outstanding debt under its $90.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and $15.4 million in debt to Beyond, Inc. ("Beyond") related to a non-convertible term loan and a convertible term loan (collectively the "Beyond Credit Agreement") and a collaboration agreement fee liability, net of debt issuance and original issue discount costs. As of November 2, 2024, the Company had approximately $16.0 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility, after the minimum required excess availability covenant.

Availability under the Company's revolving credit facility 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 November 2, 2024, the Company repaid a net $19.0 million under the revolving credit facility, and as of December 6, 2024, the Company had $46.0 million of outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility with availability of $35.0 million, after the minimum required excess availability covenant.

Strategic Partnership with Beyond, Inc.

The Company entered into a strategic partnership with Beyond on October 21, 2024, with the purpose of enabling cohesive collaboration between the companies and leveraging the strengths of each business to drive sustainable profitable growth and value for all stakeholders. As part of this partnership Beyond is investing $25 million in the Company through a combined debt and equity transaction. Proceeds of $17 million from the Beyond Credit Agreement were used by Kirkland's to repay its existing FILO Term Loan, including prepayment fees and transaction expenses, and to reduce borrowings under Kirkland's existing revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. The $8 million equity purchase and the mandatory debt conversion are both subject to the approval of Kirkland's shareholders at the Company's special meeting of shareholders on December 23, 2024 ("Special Shareholders Meeting") in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules and other customary closing conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this earnings release and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share. 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 is defined as EBITDA adjusted to remove stock based compensation expense, due to the non-cash nature of this expense, to remove severance, as it fluctuates based on the needs of the business and does not represent a normal recurring operating expense, and to remove any financing related legal or professional fees not subject to capitalization. Adjusted operating loss is defined as adjusted EBITDA including depreciation. The Company defines adjusted net loss as net loss adjusted for stock compensation, severance, financing related legal or professional fees not subject to capitalization and the loss on extinguishment of debt, due to either the non-recurring or non-cash nature of these expenses and the related tax adjustments. The Company defines adjusted loss per diluted share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted share count.

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 following table shows an unaudited non-GAAP measure reconciliation of operating loss to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss and a reconciliation of net loss and diluted loss per share to adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share data) for the periods indicated:

(1)  

Asset impairment charges are related to property and equipment, software costs and cloud computing implementation costs. Asset 
impairment was previously shown as a non-GAAP adjustment. The current presentation includes asset impairment as a reconciling
item between operating loss and EBITDA. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

(2)  

Stock-based compensation expense includes amounts amortized to expense related to equity incentive plans.

(3)  

The costs incurred during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended November 2, 2024, include consulting and legal fees relating to
the Company's transaction with Beyond that, due to their nature, were not capitalized as deferred debt or equity issuance costs. 
Given the magnitude and scope of this strategic transaction, which is not expected to recur in the foreseeable future, the Company 
considers the incremental consulting and legal fees incurred not reflective of the ongoing costs to operate its business.

(4)  

Severance charges include expenses related to severance agreements and permanent store closure compensation costs.

(5)  

Loss on extinguishment of debt includes expenses related to the extinguishment of the FILO Term Loan including a $2.6 million 
prepayment penalty and the write off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs.
