HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears Holdings
Corporation ("Holdings," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SHLD)
today reported its third quarter 2012 results. In summary, we reported:
o Adjusted EBITDA increased $34 million for the quarter to a loss of $156
million in 2012 versus a loss of $190 million in 2011. Domestic Adjusted
EBITDA increased $18 million (a loss of $164 million in 2012 versus a loss
of $182 million in 2011). Sears Canada's Adjusted EBITDA improved $16
million ($8 million in 2012 versus a loss of $8 million in 2011);
o Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Holdings' shareholders
for the third quarter of $498 million ($4.70 loss per diluted share) and
$410 million ($3.85 loss per diluted share), in 2012 and 2011,
respectively. The third quarter included an effective tax rate of 2.3% in
2012 versus a benefit rate of 18.0% in 2011;
o Adjusted loss per diluted share from continuing operations for the third
quarter of $1.99 in 2012 and $2.55 in 2011;
o For the quarter, selling and administrative expenses declined $139
million;
o Sears Domestic's comparable store sales declined 1.6% in the third quarter
of 2012, Kmart's comparable store sales declined 4.8%, and Sears Canada's
comparable store sales declined 5.7%;
o Continued discipline of our investment in inventory with domestic
inventory declining $1.4 billion from the prior year balance ($972 million
excluding the inventory related to the Sears Hometown and Outlet
businesses);
o Completed the separation of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. on
October 11, 2012 which raised $446.5 million in gross proceeds; and
o Partial spin-off to our shareholders of 45% of the outstanding common
shares of Sears Canada closed on November 13, 2012.
Lou D'Ambrosio, Sears Holdings' Chief Executive Officer and President, said,
"For the 3rd quarter and year-to-date, we improved EBITDA, accelerated our
strategic actions and generated significant cash by delivering on the actions
we outlined at our Annual meeting. Our EBITDA improvement in the quarter came
from some of our most important categories like Appliances, Apparel, and Home
Services as we introduced new offers, honed pricing, effectively managed costs
and implemented better inventory management. We did experience shortfalls,
however, in categories like Grocery and Household and Consumer Electronics,
and are taking actions to improve that performance.
We will continue to take the actions necessary to create value and retain the
flexibility to invest in the strategic priorities of our company. We are
rapidly moving to a member based business model. Our investments are focused
on our members and their experience -- at the store, online, and mobile --
which is why we are investing in Integrated Retail and our SHOP YOUR WAY
membership program. Over half of our revenues at Sears Domestic and Kmart now
come from SHOP YOUR WAY membership.
As we commence the holidays, I also want to thank our associates for their
hard work and commitment and for most recently their incredible support to
help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Associates across Sears Holdings worked
tirelessly to bring essential goods -- from water to blankets to generators -
to the people hit hardest by the storm."
Third Quarter Revenues and Comparable Store Sales
Revenues decreased $548 million to $8.9 billion for the quarter ended
October 27, 2012 compared to the prior year quarter. The decline in revenue
was primarily due to the effect of having fewer Kmart and Sears Full-line
stores in operation and lower domestic comparable store sales for the quarter.
Sears Canada's comparable store sales also decreased and included an increase
of $15 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Domestic comparable store sales declined 3.1%, comprised of declines of 1.6%
at Sears Domestic and 4.8% at Kmart. During the quarter, we saw increased
comparable store sales in our apparel and home appliance categories at Sears
Domestic. These increases were offset by four primary factors. The largest
impact at both Sears Domestic and Kmart was in consumer electronics, which
continues to be negatively impacted by price compression, as well as market
shifts such as moves to smartphone technology and away from digital cameras,
GPS devices, MP3 Players and camcorders in addition to transitions to online
gaming and applications. Adjusting for the decline in consumer electronics,
Sears Domestic comparable store sales were up over the prior year. Grocery and
household declined at Kmart partly due to the intensely competitive nature of
that industry. Lawn and garden declined at Sears Domestic due to strong
preseason sales of snow clean-up product in the third quarter of 2011 as a
result of product shortages during the prior year winter season. Lastly,
pharmacy sales declined at Kmart due to a conversion of brand name drugs to
equivalent generic drugs. Sears Canada's comparable store sales decreased 5.7%
for the quarter primarily due to sales decreases in snow throwers, women's
apparel, electronics, men's apparel and home decor partially offset by
improved performance in home appliances and mattresses.
Operating Loss
Operating loss was $428 million and $447 million for the quarters ended
October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, respectively. The improvement in
operating loss of $19 million was primarily due to the reduction in selling
and administrative expenses, which was offset by a decline in gross margin
dollars driven by lower overall sales and a slight decline in margin rate.
For the quarter, our gross margin decreased $141 million to $2.3 billion in
2012, predominately due to the above noted decline in overall sales. Gross
margin included charges of $32 million and $14 million related to store
closures for 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, Sears Canada's gross
margin included an increase of $5 million related to the impact of foreign
currency exchange rates.
Sears Canada's gross margin rate improved 220 basis points for the third
quarter as the prior year included activity related to clearing excess
inventory. Sears Domestic's gross margin rate improved 10 basis points during
the third quarter mainly due to improvements in apparel, home appliances and
home services, which were partially offset by declines in consumer
electronics, fine jewelry, lawn and garden, and our Lands' End customer direct
business. These improvements were offset by a 110 basis point decline in
Kmart's gross margin rate during the third quarter as improvements in pharmacy
and apparel were more than offset by declines in consumer electronics and
grocery and household.
Domestic selling and administrative expenses decreased $132 million in the
third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 predominately due
to decreases in payroll and advertising expenses, which were partially offset
by higher pension expense. Selling and administrative expenses at Sears Canada
for the quarter decreased $7 million compared to the prior year quarter, and
included an increase of $4 million related to the impact of foreign currency
exchange rates. On a Canadian dollar basis, selling and administrative
expenses decreased $11 million primarily due to decreases in advertising and
payroll expenses. Selling and administrative expenses included expenses
related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance of $48 million
and $28 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The third quarter of 2012
also included $7 million of transaction costs associated with strategic
initiatives while the third quarter of 2011 included expense of $9 million
related to hurricane Irene losses.
Operating loss for both the third quarter of 2012 and 2011 included expenses
related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance which
aggregated to $89 million and $42 million, respectively. Operating loss for
the third quarter of 2012 also included the $7 million of transaction costs
associated with strategic initiatives as well as a gain on sales of assets of
$12 million related to the sale of a store in Texas operated under The Great
Indoors format, while the third quarter of 2011 also included $9 million of
expense related to hurricane Irene losses. See the attached schedule,
"Adjusted Earnings per Share," for a reconciliation from GAAP to as adjusted
amounts, including adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing
operations.
Our effective tax rate provision was 2.3% for the third quarter of 2012 as
compared to an effective tax benefit rate of 18.0% in 2011. The current year
tax rate was impacted by the establishment of a valuation allowance in 2011
against certain deferred income tax assets and the utilization of part of our
net operating loss deferred tax asset in 2012. In addition, the current year
tax rate reflects the effect of not recognizing the benefit of current period
losses in certain domestic jurisdictions where it is not more likely than not
that such benefits will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset
considered realizable, however, could be adjusted in the future if estimates
of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or
increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses
is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence
such as our projections for growth. The third quarter of 2011 included a
non-cash charge of $100 million to establish a valuation allowance against
certain state income deferred tax assets.
Financial Position
Rob Schriesheim, Sears Holdings' Chief Financial Officer, said, "In February,
we laid out a number of actions intended to generate more than $1 billion of
additional liquidity, improve our financial performance and unlock value. We
have executed against these goals, are on track to generate $1.8 billion of
additional liquidity and improved our EBITDA by $271 million through the first
three quarters of this fiscal year as compared to the same period last year.
In addition to generating liquidity, these actions served to de-risk our
operations and balance sheet as we transform the Company to a member-centric
business model that is less asset-intensive. Specifically, we reduced our risk
related to our lease obligations, investment in inventory, fixed cost base, as
well as began the process of settling a portion of our legacy pension
obligations. We intend to continue to be proactive in generating at least $500
million in additional liquidity over the next 12 months through selective
actions that are consistent with our focus on creating long term value. The
exact form and amount will depend on specific circumstances and opportunities,
including market conditions."
We had cash balances of $633 million at October 27, 2012 ($406 million
domestic and $227 million at Sears Canada) as compared to $754 million at
January 28, 2012. The decrease in cash during the first nine months of 2012
was primarily due to uses of cash for contributions to our pension and
post-retirement benefit plans of $493 million, capital expenditures of $257
million, repayments of long-term debt of $247 million and other working
capital needs, partially offset by cash generated from the dividend from and
sale of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. of $447 million and from the
sales of properties of $511 million.
Merchandise inventories at October 27, 2012 were $9.6 billion, as compared to
$10.9 billion at October 29, 2011. Domestic inventory decreased $1.4 billion
to $8.6 billion at October 27, 2012. Excluding the inventory related to the
Sears Hometown and Outlet businesses, domestic inventory decreased $972
million from the prior year third quarter driven by both improved productivity
and store closures. Sears Domestic inventory decreased in all categories, with
the most notable decreases in the home appliances, apparel and consumer
electronics categories. Kmart inventory also decreased in all categories with
the most notable decreases in apparel, consumer electronics and pharmacy and
drug. Sears Canada's inventory levels increased $16 million to $941 million at
October 27, 2012, primarily due to the timing of merchandise receipts.
Total debt (consisting of short-term borrowings, long-term debt and capital
lease obligations) was $4.0 billion at October 27, 2012, compared to $3.5
billion at January 28, 2012 and $4.2 billion at October 29, 2011. Availability
under our credit facilities was approximately $1.4 billion as of October 27,
2012 ($1.0 billion domestic and approximately $0.4 billion at Sears Canada,
after taking into account possible reserves).
On September 14, 2012 the Company voluntarily elected to contribute an
additional $203 million to its domestic pension plan ("Plan") bringing the
Plan to the 80% funded level under applicable law thereby allowing the Plan to
offer lump-sum settlements to former associates who have vested pension
benefits. The Company believes that it is beneficial to settle pension
obligations through lump-sum payments to Plan participants so as to reduce the
Company's exposure to the gross pension obligation (which was $6.1 billion as
reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 28, 2012). Specific risks of the gross pension obligation that the
Company would expect to be mitigated through settlement of a portion of the
gross pension obligation include:
o Investment return risk on pension assets;
o Interest rate risk on pension liabilities;
o Mortality risk on pension participants; and
o Regulatory risk from changes in applicable laws and associated fees.
This voluntary offer was made to approximately 86,000 former associates with
vested pension benefits, representing approximately $2.0 billion of the
Company's total qualified pension plan liabilities. Eligible participants will
have until November 19, 2012 to make their election. The Company expects to
make the payments in December 2012 and will fund the payments from existing
pension plan assets. The Company currently estimates that it will incur a
non-cash charge to operations of approximately $300 million to $400 million
pre-tax in the fourth quarter as a result of the requirement to expense the
unrealized actuarial losses. The charge will have no effect on equity because
the unrealized actuarial losses are already recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income/(loss). Accordingly, the effect on retained earnings will
be offset by a corresponding reduction in accumulated other comprehensive
loss. Actual participation rates and payout amounts will not be known until
December 2012. The Company now estimates that its minimum contribution to its
domestic pension plan for fiscal 2013 will be approximately $350 million.
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our net loss determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes
of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA")
measurement.
Adjusted EBITDA is computed as net loss attributable to Sears Holdings
Corporation appearing on the statements of operations excluding income (loss)
attributable to noncontrolling interest, loss from discontinued operations,
net of tax, income tax (expense) benefit, interest expense, interest and
investment income, other income (loss), depreciation and amortization and gain
on sales of assets. In addition, it is adjusted to exclude certain significant
items as set forth below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the
operating performance of our businesses, as well as executive compensation
metrics, for comparable periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by
investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment
decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring
items.
While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it
is an important indicator of operating performance because:
o EBITDA excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by
eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation costs;
o Management considers gains/(losses) on the sale of assets to result from
investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and
o Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may
vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate
effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of results.
Adjusted EBITDA was determined as follows:
