STAMFORD, Conn., March 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Lovesac Company (Nasdaq: LOVE) (“Lovesac” or the “Company”), the home furnishing brand best known for its Sactionals, The World's Most Adaptable Couch™, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022, which ended January 30, 2022.

Shawn Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Lovesac’s continued strong financial performance in the face of a myriad of macro and industry shifts affirms the power of our unique business model and products. Importantly, the key distinguishing attributes of this model, which include operational flexibility, highly-engaged customers, innovation and a proven omni-channel approach, will only grow stronger over time as our progress along the product adoption curve steepens and word of mouth continues to gain strength. This curve will benefit further from deep stock positions that allow us to deliver and execute for our customers in a more timely manner, leading to further share gains and solidified customer loyalty. We also continue to identify and drive operational initiatives that will lead to even greater improvements in our bottom-line results as we continue to scale the business.”

Mr. Nelson continued, “We enter fiscal 2023 with the people, strategy and platform primed to build on our success and deliver long-term, sustainable and profitable growth. We’ll drive this growth by remaining focused on key drivers: smart investments in product extensions and technology, creative deployment of our omni-channel sales model, supply chain and operating efficiencies. I am immensely proud of our resilient and passionate team and we are eager and enthusiastic for a successful fiscal 2023.”

² Total comparable sales include showroom transactions through the point of sale and internet net sales.
³ Comparable showroom sales reflect transactions through the point of sale and not necessarily product that has shipped to the customer. Product that has shipped to the customer is included in Net Sales. Showrooms were closed as required by local and state laws as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic effective March 18, 2020. As of the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, all showrooms had fully reopened to the walk-in phase, and remain open. We are abiding by federal, state and local guidelines with respect to the operating status of our showrooms.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended January 30, 2022:

• The net sales increase of 51.3% was due to higher sales volume and lower promotional discounting, driving an increase in showroom sales, which include kiosks and mobile concierges, of 59.8%, an increase in internet sales of 22.8%, and an increase of 164.9% in our “Other” channel, which principally includes pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops. The increase in showroom sales was driven by an increase of 72.6% in comparable showroom sales related to a strong holiday promotional campaign with lower discounting and the addition of 28 new showrooms, 8 kiosks, and 2 mobile concierge compared to the prior year period. Internet sales also increased due to the same promotional campaign. The increase in sales in our “Other” channel was principally related to higher productivity of our online pop-up-shops on Costco.com and hosting one additional event compared to the prior year period.
  
  
• Gross profit increased $34.5 million, or 45.9%, to $109.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from $75.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross margin decreased 200 basis points to 55.9% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from 57.9% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily driven by an increase of approximately 480 basis points in total freight including tariff expenses and warehousing costs, partially offset by an improvement of 280 basis points in product margin principally driven by lower promotional discounting and continuing vendor negotiations to assist with the mitigation of tariffs. The increase in total freight including tariffs and warehousing costs over the prior year period is principally related to a 590 basis point increase in inbound container freight costs and increased tariffs related to higher product sourcing from China, partially offset by a 110 basis point improvement due to higher leverage of warehousing and outbound freight costs.
  
  
• SG&A expense as a percent of net sales increased by 154 basis points due to deleverage within selling related expenses from sales agent fees, employment costs, travel, rent, infrastructure investments, and insurance, partially offset by leveraging credit card fees and equity-based compensation. The increase in sales agent fees is related to a one time settlement expense of $2.0 million within our “Other” channel to terminate an existing agreement with a vendor partner. The deleverage in other expenses is related to the investments we are making into the business that were put on hold in the prior year period due to COVID-19 financial resilience measures.
  
  
• Advertising and marketing expense increased 63.8% due to continued investments in marketing spend to support our sales growth. As a percent of net sales, advertising and marketing increased by 99 basis points due to an increase in national media spends focusing on holiday media and awareness campaigns, including spends expected to aid fiscal 2023 periods.
  
  
• Operating income was $24.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $21.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Operating margin was 12.3% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 16.8% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
  
  
• Net income was $32.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $21.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a benefit from income taxes of $8.5 million. This includes the release of a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets of $16.4 million.
  

Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ended January 30, 2022:

• The net sales increase of 55.3% was due to higher sales volume and lower promotional discounting, driving an increase in showroom sales, which include kiosks and mobile concierge, of 104.6%, and an increase of 106.7% in our “Other” channel, which principally includes pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops, partially offset by a slight decrease in internet sales of 0.3%. The increase in showroom sales was driven by an increase of 104.1% in comparable showroom sales. Sales in our “Other” channel increased principally due to higher productivity and hosting two additional online pop-up-shops on Costco.com and the addition of 18 new Best Buy shop-in-shops, partially offset by the closures of our Macy’s shop-in-shops. The slight decline in internet sales reflected the channel shift back to our showrooms that are now fully reopened.
  
  
• Gross profit increased $98.6 million, or 56.4%, to $273.3 million in fiscal 2022 from $174.8 million in fiscal 2021. Gross margin increased to 54.9% of net sales in fiscal 2022 from 54.5% of net sales in fiscal 2021. The increase in gross margin percentage of 40 basis points was primarily driven by an increase of 330 basis points due to lower promotional discounts and continuing vendor negotiations to assist with the mitigation of tariffs, partially offset by an increase of 290 basis points in total freight including tariff expenses and warehousing costs. The increase in total freight including tariffs and warehousing costs over the prior year period is principally related to the increase of 720 basis points in inbound container freight costs, partially offset by higher leverage of 430 basis points in warehousing and outbound freight costs.
  
  
• SG&A expense as a percent of net sales decreased by 221 basis points primarily due to higher leverage within infrastructure investments, rent, equity-based compensation, insurance, and selling related expenses, partially offset by deleverage in employment costs and travel. The deleverage in certain expenses is related to the investments we are making into the business that were put on hold in the prior year relating to COVID-19 financial resilience measures.
  
  
• Advertising and marketing expense increased 55.2% due to the ongoing investments in marketing spends to support our sales growth. As a percent of net sales, advertising and marketing were 13.1% for both fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021.
  
  
• Operating income was $38.4 million in fiscal 2022 compared to $14.9 million in fiscal 2021. Operating margin was 7.7% of net sales in fiscal 2022 compared to 4.6% of net sales in fiscal 2021.
  
  
• Net income was $45.9 million in fiscal 2022 compared to $14.7 million in fiscal 2021. During fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a benefit from income taxes of $7.6 million. This includes the release of a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets of $16.4 million.
  

Other Financial Highlights as of January 30, 2022:

• The cash and cash equivalents balance as of January 30, 2022 was $92.4 million as compared to $78.3 million as of January 31, 2021. There was no balance on the Company’s line of credit as of January 30, 2022 or January 31, 2021. The Company’s availability under the line of credit was $22.5 million and $15.9 million as of January 30, 2022 and January 31, 2021, respectively. On March 25, 2022, we amended our existing credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to, among other things, extend the maturity date to March 25, 2024 and increase the maximum revolver commitment from $25.0 million to $40.0 million, subject to borrowing base and availability restrictions.

Non-GAAP Information

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that is a supplemental measure of financial performance not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include management fees, equity-based compensation expense, write-offs of property and equipment, deferred rent, financing expenses and certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure within the schedules attached hereto.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of our business, facilitate a more meaningful comparison of our actual results on a period-over-period basis and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We have provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of our ongoing operations alongside GAAP measures such as gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss). Other companies in our industry may calculate these items differently than we do. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as a measure of financial performance, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
