SECAUCUS, N.J., Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. (NYSE: VSI), an omni-channel, specialty retailer of nutritional products, today announced preliminary results for the three months ended June 29, 2019 (second quarter) and that it has agreed to be acquired by Liberty Tax. 

Reported net loss per share from continuing operations in second quarter 2019 was $0.15, compared to earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $0.22 in the same period of the prior year.  Excluding special items in both second quarter 2019 and second quarter 2018 as shown in Table 4 at the end of this press release, EPS from continuing operations was $0.20 in second quarter 2019 compared with $0.31 in second quarter 2018. 

Second Quarter 2019 Results

Total sales of $270.9 million in the quarter were 7.6% lower than the same period of the prior year.  Total comparable sales were down 7.2% in the quarter.  The Company closed four stores in the quarter and did not open any new ones. 

Cost of goods sold, which includes product, distribution and store occupancy costs, were $180.6 million, 9.2% lower than the same period of the prior year, primarily attributable to lower sales volume. In addition, the Company continues to see improvement as it works with landlords to execute on its store planned closures to reduce store occupancy costs.

Second quarter 2018 included $3.6 million in net expenses related to inventory optimization.  Adjusting for this, cost of goods sold in second quarter 2019 were 7.5% lower than the prior year. 

Gross profit was $90.3 million, compared with $94.2 million in second quarter 2018.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 33.3% in second quarter 2019, compared to 32.2% in the same period of 2018.  Second quarter 2019 benefitted year-over-year from product margin improvement of 90 basis points offset by deleverage in occupancy.   Excluding the special items for 2Q18 shown in Table 4 at the end of this press release, gross profit was $97.9 million in second quarter 2018 and as a percentage of net sales was 33.4%. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), including store operating payroll and related benefits and advertising expense, was $83.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, compared with $88.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.  Second quarter 2019 includes approximately $0.8 million for store closing expenses, and $0.4 million for management realignment costs while second quarter 2018 includes $1.8 million for management realignment costs and another $1.1 million in other costs.  SG&A as a percent of sales was 30.7% in second quarter 2019 compared with 30.3% in second quarter 2018.  Adjusted for the items mentioned above and shown in Table 4, for both years, SG&A as a percentage of sales in second quarter 2019 was 30.2% compared to 29.3% in second quarter 2018.  Percentage of sales higher due to deleverage of the topline. 

The Company reported impairment charges on fixed, intangible and right of use assets of $10.9 million in second quarter 2019. 

Adjusted EBITDA in second quarter 2019 was $17.6 million and a margin of 6.5%, compared with $22.0 million and a margin of 7.5% in the same period of the prior year.  (Refer to Table 5 at the end of this press release for a GAAP reconciliation.)

Operating loss in second quarter 2019 was $3.7 million compared to operating income of $5.2 million in the same period of the prior year.  Adjusted for the items noted in Table 4 for both second quarter 2019 and 2018, adjusted operating income was $7.7 million in second quarter 2019 compared with adjusted operating income of $11.7 million in second quarter 2018.  (Refer to Table 4 at the end of this press release for a reconciliation.) 

Reported net loss from continuing operations was $3.6 million for second quarter 2019 compared to net income from continuing operations of $5.3 million in the same period of the prior year.  Adjusting for the items shown in Table 4 for the periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, net income from continuing operations would have been $4.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Reported loss per share from continuing operations was $0.15 in second quarter 2019, compared to earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.22 in second quarter 2018.  Earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis (for the items described in Table 4) in second quarter 2019 was $0.20 compared to $0.31 in second quarter 2018.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and equivalents at June 29, 2019 were $14.8 million.  At quarter end, the Company had a convertible notes liability with a total face value of $60.4 million and nothing borrowed on its revolving line of credit. 

Capital expenditures were $8.2 million in the quarter with funds primarily expended on IT and other digital investments.  Depreciation and amortization in second quarter 2019 was $9.9 million compared to $10.3 million in second quarter 2018.  The lower amount primarily reflects less stores in operation year over year.  The Company generated operating cash flow of $23.6 million in the quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted information is non-GAAP financial information. These supplemental non-GAAP measures should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, and should be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures presented.  The Company believes such non-GAAP financial information facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because it excludes items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to the Company's core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying business. These adjustments are consistent with how management views our business. Management uses such non-GAAP financial information in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating the Company's ongoing performance. A reconciliation of adjusted financial information to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in Tables 4 and 5.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization), as further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain income and expense items that management believes make it more difficult to assess the Company's actual operating performance including certain items which are generally non-recurring.  The Company has excluded the impact of such items from internal performance assessments.  The Company believes that excluding such items helps investors compare operating performance with the results in prior periods.  The Company believes it is appropriate to exclude these items as they are not related to ongoing operating performance and, therefore, limit comparability between periods.  (See Table 5 for a reconciliation of 2Q19 and 2Q18 Adjusted EBITDA.)
