Savers Value Village, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

Quarterly net sales increased 4.4% or 4.5% in constant currency1

Quarterly comparable store sales increased 2.6%

Opened five new stores in the quarter

Savers Value Village, Inc. (NYSE: SVV), (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2023 (the “fourth quarter”) and the fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”).

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2023, Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2022

  • Net sales increased 4.4% to $382.8 million. Constant currency net sales1 increased 4.5% to $383.5 million.
  • Comparable store sales increased 2.6%, with the U.S. and Canada up 3.1% and 2.0%, respectively.
  • Sales yield2 increased 2.0% to $1.54 per pound.
  • The Company opened five new stores during the fourth quarter, ending the fourth quarter with a total of 326 stores.
  • Net income increased 66.0% to $43.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, from $26.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted net income1 and Adjusted net income per diluted share1 were $25.4 million and $0.15, respectively.
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)1 increased 5.0% to $83.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin1 increased 10 basis points to 21.7%. Adjusted EBITDA1 included a $0.1 million negative impact from changes in foreign currency rates.

Mark Walsh, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We finished the year on a strong note and are pleased with the underlying performance and resiliency of our business. We believe our results, once again, demonstrate the power of our vertically integrated model – which allows us to align our processing levels with demand trends to generate strong profitability and cash flow. Despite some weather impact early in the fourth quarter, we delivered better than expected adjusted EBITDA of more than $83 million in the fourth quarter and $322 million in 2023.”

Mr. Walsh continued, “With the strong secular trends and the investments in people, processes and technology we have made over the last few years, we are well-positioned to accelerate our organic unit growth up to the high-single-digit percent range over the next few years. We feel very good about our 22 planned store openings in 2024 and the tremendous growth opportunities ahead of us.”

1 Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as amounts presented on a constant currency basis, are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For additional information on our use of non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, “Constant Currency” and the accompanying financial tables which reconcile GAAP financial measures to these non-GAAP measures.



2 We define sales yield as retail sales generated per pound processed on a currency neutral and comparable store basis.

Balance Sheet Highlights

  • As of December 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $180.0 million, compared to $112.1 million as of December 31, 2022.
  • As of December 30, 2023, the Company had total borrowings of $816.8 million outstanding and its net leverage, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months, was 2.0x.
  • There were no borrowings under the Company’s $75.0 million revolving credit facility as of December 30, 2023.

On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facilities resulting in a reduction of approximately 175 basis points on existing borrowings under the Term Loan Facility as a result of a reduction in the margin at the time of the reprice, the elimination of the SOFR adjustment margin and an additional reduction of the margin conditional on the Company achieving certain public corporate family ratings, which condition was met during February when Moody’s upgraded the Company’s corporate family rating to B1 Stable from B2 Stable.

On March 4, 2024, the Company redeemed $49.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes. Subsequent to the redemption, the Company had total borrowings of $767.3 million outstanding.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

The Company expects the following for the fifty-two weeks ending December 28, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”):

  • The opening of approximately 22 new stores;
  • Total net sales of approximately $1.57 to $1.59 billion;
  • Comparable store sales growth of approximately 2% to 3%;
  • Net income of approximately $78 million;
  • Adjusted net income1 of approximately $123 million;
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 of approximately $340 million;
  • Capital expenditures in the range of $105 to $115 million; and
  • GAAP-based diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 172 million.

1 Adjusted net income is not a measure recognized under U.S. GAAP. For additional information on our use of non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and the accompanying financial tables which reconcile GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures.



2 We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we cannot determine the probable significance of the various reconciling items, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements can be identified by words such as “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “projects” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections, the outlook for the Company’s future business, prospects, financial performance, including its fiscal 2024 outlook or financial guidance, and industry outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the impact on both the supply and demand for the Company’s products caused by general economic conditions and changes in consumer confidence and spending; the Company’s ability to anticipate consumer demand and to source and process a sufficient quantity of quality secondhand items at attractive prices on a recurring basis risks related to attracting new, and retaining existing customers, including by increasing acceptance of secondhand items among new and growing customer demographics; risks associated with its status as a “brick and mortar” only retailer and its lack of operations in the growing online retail marketplace; its failure to open new profitable stores, or successfully enter new markets on a timely basis or at all; the risks associated with doing business with international manufacturers and suppliers including, but not limited to, transportation and shipping challenges, regulatory risks in foreign jurisdictions (particularly in Canada, where the Company maintains extensive operations) and exchange rate risks, which the Company may not be able to fully hedge; the loss of, or disruption or interruption in the operations of, its centralized distribution centers; risks associated with litigation, the expense of defense, and the potential for adverse outcomes; its failure to properly hire and to retain key personnel and other qualified personnel; risks associated with the timely and effective deployment, protection, and defense of computer networks and other electronic systems, including e-mail; changes in government regulations, procedures and requirements; its ability to maintain an effective system of controls and produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations; and risks associated with heightened geopolitical instability due to the conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe; outbreak of viruses or widespread illness, including the continued impact of COVID-19 and continuing or renewed regulatory responses thereto; ; together with each of the other factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in its filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. The Company is not under any obligation (and specifically disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company include Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures in this press release as they are key measures used by its management and its board of directors to evaluate its operating performance and the effectiveness of its business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including those amounts presented in accordance with the Company’s definitions of Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as they may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by its competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the same manner. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including, as applicable, net income and the Company’s other GAAP results. The Company presents Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because we consider these meaningful measures to share with investors because they best allow comparison of the performance of one period with that of another period. In addition, by presenting Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, we provide investors with management’s perspective of the Company’s operating performance.

Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding the impact of loss on extinguishment of debt, IPO-related stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs, dividend-related bonus, (gain) loss on foreign currency, net, certain other adjustments, the tax effect on the above adjustments, and non-recurring tax benefit. The Company defines Adjusted net income per diluted share as Adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding the impact of interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash occupancy-related costs, lease intangible asset expense, pre-opening expenses, store closing expenses, executive transition costs, transaction costs, dividend-related bonus, gain (loss) on foreign currency, net, and certain other adjustments. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales, expressed as a percentage.

Constant Currency

The Company reports certain operating results on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refer to the exchange rates used to translate the Company's operating results for all countries where the transactional currency is not the U.S. Dollar into U.S. Dollars. Because the Company is a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on its reported results. In general, the Company's financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. Dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. Dollar. References to operating results on a constant-currency basis mean operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The Company believes disclosure of constant-currency results is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of its results by increasing the transparency of the underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. However, constant-currency results are non-GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. During the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 2023, as compared to the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 31, 2022, the U.S. dollar was stronger relative to the Canadian and Australian dollars which resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency impact on our operating results. To present this information, our current operating results in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the comparative prior period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect.

(1)

 

Comparable store sales growth is the percentage change in comparable store sales over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. We define comparable store sales to be sales by stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or, in other words, stores that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. We consider any store temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic to be open and comparable during the period for the purposes of calculating comparable store sales growth. Comparable store sales growth excludes stores acquired in the 2nd Ave. acquisition because those stores were not yet fully integrated during the prior year comparative period. Comparable store sales growth is measured in local currency for Canada, while total comparable store sales growth is measured on a constant currency basis.

(2)

 

Comparable store daily sales growth represents net sales by stores in the relevant geography that were or would have been open for the entirety of both periods if not for temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, divided by the aggregate number of days those stores were open. Comparable store daily sales growth is the percentage change in comparable store daily sales over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Comparable store daily sales growth excludes stores acquired in the 2nd Ave. Acquisition, because those stores were not yet fully integrated during the prior year comparative period. Comparable store daily sales growth is measured in local currency for Canada, while total comparable store daily sales growth is measured on a constant currency basis.

(3)

 

Total comparable store sales growth, total comparable store daily sales growth and total number of stores include our Australia retail locations, in addition to the United States and Canada.

(4)

 

We define sales yield as retail sales generated per pound processed on a currency neutral and comparable store basis.
