This is allowing our buyers to be even more selective and offer our customers even better bargains on great quality branded merchandise. Our stores are full of Good Stuff Cheap and our customers know a great deal when they see it.”

Second Quarter Results

Net sales increased 16.1% to $211.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $181.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in net sales was driven by a 3.5% increase in comparable store sales and increased store count compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company opened eight stores in the second quarter and ended the quarter with 216 stores compared to 187 stores at the end of second quarter in fiscal 2015.

Gross profit increased 19.6% to $83.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $70.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and gross margin increased 120 basis points to 39.7% from 38.5% 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 slightly higher merchandise margin.

Operating income increased 30.5% to $22.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $16.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. As a percent of net sales, operating income increased 110 basis points to 10.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.  Included in operating income in the second quarter of 2016 are $260,000 of transaction related expenses incurred primarily in connection with the Company’s secondary stock offering on June 6, 2016. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2015 included $322,000 of transaction related expenses due to the Company’s IPO.  Excluding these transaction related expenses, Adjusted operating income(1) increased 29.6% to $22.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2015, and as a percent of net sales, Adjusted operating income increased 110 basis points to 10.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Net income increased 106.8% to $13.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $6.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding the transaction related expenses described above and the loss on extinguishment of debt incurred in the second quarter of 2015, both net of taxes, Adjusted net income (1) increased 65.5% to $13.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $8.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 27.0% to $28.6 million, or 13.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $22.5 million, or 12.4% of net sales, in the second 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, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA 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.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company's cash balance as of the end of second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $30.7 million compared to $0.8 million at the end of second quarter fiscal 2015.  The Company had no borrowings under its $100.0 million revolving credit and $97.6 million of availability under the facility at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016.  The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2016 with total debt of $197.7 million compared to $224.5 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Inventory at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 15.2% to $215.7 million compared to $187.2 million at the end the second quarter of fiscal 2015, due primarily to new store growth.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $5.2 million compared to $3.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Outlook

Ollie’s currently estimates the following results for the fiscal year ending January 28, 2017:

  • Total net sales of $880 million to $885 million;
  • Comparable store sales growth of 2.5% to 3.0%;
  • The opening of 28-32 new stores and no planned closures;
  • Operating income of $96 million to $98 million;
  • Net income per diluted share of $0.87 to $0.89;
  • Excluding transaction expenses, Adjusted net income per diluted share(2) of $0.88 to $0.90;
  • Estimated weighted diluted average shares outstanding of approximately 62.5 million; and
  • Capital expenditures of $16.5 million to $17.5 million.

(2) Adjusted net income per diluted share is not a measure recognized under GAAP. The $0.01 per diluted share difference between the guidance ranges for Net income per diluted share and Adjusted net income per diluted share reflects the transaction related expenses already incurred and reported for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2016.  The Company cannot predict future transaction related estimates without unreasonable effort and therefore excludes any such estimates from its Outlook.
