First Quarter Results
Net sales increased 19.2% to $193.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $162.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in net sales was driven by a 6.0% increase in comparable store sales and a 14.9% increase in store count over the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company opened five stores in the first quarter and ended the quarter with 208 stores compared to 181 stores at the end of first quarter in fiscal 2015.
Gross profit increased 23.4% to $79.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $64.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and gross margin increased 140 basis points to 40.8% from 39.4% in the same respective periods. The gross margin increase was driven primarily by lower transportation and distribution costs as a percent to sales and a higher merchandise margin.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 19.5% to $54.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $45.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Included in SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2016 were $890,000 of transaction related expenses primarily in connection with the Company’s secondary stock offering on February 18, 2016. Including the transaction related expenses, SG&A increased 10 basis points to 28.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 28.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding the $890,000 of transaction related expenses, SG&A expenses increased 17.5% to $53.9 million and as a percent of net sales decreased 40 basis points to 27.8%. Other than the transaction related expenses, the increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by increased selling expenses related to new store growth and increased sales volume. The increased selling expenses consisted primarily of store payroll and benefits, store occupancy costs, and other store related expenses.
Pre-opening expenses related to new stores were $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase was related to timing differences in the new store openings.
Operating income increased 35.5% to $21.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $15.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. As a percent of net sales, operating income increased 130 basis points to 10.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Excluding the $890,000 of transaction related expenses, Adjusted operating income(1) increased 41.2% to $21.9 million, or 11.3% of net sales, an increase of 180 basis points.
Net income increased 76.4% to $11.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $6.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding the transaction related expenses, adjusted net income (1) increased 84.5% to $12.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $6.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 37.6% to $27.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $19.7 million, or 12.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, pre-opening expenses, non-cash purchase accounting items and transaction related expenses.
(1) Adjusted operating income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per diluted share are not measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please see the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP tables included later in this release.
