BURLINGTON, N.J., Aug. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE: BURL), a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel, footwear, accessories, and merchandise for the home at everyday low prices, today announced its results for the second quarter ended July 30, 2022.
Michael O’Sullivan, CEO, stated, “Our 17% comp sales decline for the quarter came in below our guidance of down 15% to down 13%. There were two major external factors that contributed to this weak trend – firstly, lower-to-moderate income shoppers continue to face tremendous economic pressure driven by the higher cost of living, and secondly, a massive overhang of inventory across the retail industry has driven a huge surge in promotional activity at other retailers.”
Mr. O’Sullivan continued, “We managed liquidity, inventory levels, and expenses tightly during the quarter and this meant that despite the external headwinds and the weak sales trend we were able to achieve earnings that were ahead of our guidance range. That said, we believe that the external factors – economic pressure on lower-to-moderate income shoppers, and very high levels of promotional activity – will continue well into the second half of the year. Accordingly, we are taking down our full year sales and earnings outlook.”
Mr. O’Sullivan concluded, “Although we believe that the current macro-headwinds will continue into the back-half of the year, we recognize that they are temporary. As we look further out, into 2023, we expect a recovery in sales and margins as inflation moderates, spending by low-income customers picks up, external promotional activity normalizes, other shoppers trade down to off-price looking for value, and expense pressures ease.”

Outlook*
For the full Fiscal Year 2022 (the 52-weeks ending January 28, 2023), the Company now expects:
- Comparable store sales to decrease in the range of down 15% to down 13% for Fiscal 2022, on top of the 15% increase during Fiscal 2021; this translates to a 3-year geometric comparable store sales stack of down 3% to down 1% versus Fiscal 2019.
- Capital expenditures, net of landlord allowances, to be approximately $640 million;
- To open 90 net new stores in Fiscal 2022;
- Depreciation and amortization, exclusive of favorable lease costs, to be approximately $280 million;
- Adjusted EBIT margin to be down 410 basis points to 360 basis points to last year;
- Net interest expense to be approximately $61 million;
- An effective tax rate of approximately 25%; and
- Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $3.70 to $4.30, as compared to $6.00 on a GAAP basis and $8.41 on a non-GAAP basis last year.
For the third quarter of Fiscal 2022 (the 13 weeks ending October 29, 2022), the Company expects:
- Comparable store sales to decrease 18% to 15%; this translates to a 3-year geometric comparable store sales stack of down 4% to down 1%;
- Adjusted EBIT margin to be down 360 to 260 basis points to last year;
- An effective tax rate of approximately 25%; and
- Adjusted EPS in the range of $0.36 to $0.66, as compared to $0.20 on a GAAP basis and $1.36 on a non-GAAP basis last year.
*Three year geometric comparable store sales stack is defined as a stacked comparable sales growth rate that accounts for the compounding of comparable store sales from Fiscal 2019 to Fiscal 2022. It is calculated for each Fiscal 2022 quarter and full year Fiscal 2022 as follows: (1 + QTD 2021 comparable store sales growth) * (1 + QTD 2022 comparable store sales growth) – 1, and (1 + FY 2021 comparable store sales growth) * (1 + FY 2022 comparable store sales growth) – 1. Comparisons for Fiscal 2021 periods are made versus the same periods in Fiscal 2019.
The Company has not presented a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures set out above to their most comparable GAAP financial measures because it would require the Company to create estimated ranges on a GAAP basis, which would entail unreasonable effort. Adjustments required to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty but may include, among others, costs related to debt amendments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and impairment charges, as well as the tax effect of such items. Some or all of those adjustments could be significant.
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The foregoing discussion of the Company’s operating results includes references to Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (or Adjusted EPS), Adjusted EBIT (or Operating Margin), and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The Company believes these supplemental measures are useful in evaluating the performance of our business and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. In particular, we believe that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what we consider to be our core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist investors and management in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures later in this document.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)
The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, all of which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) net favorable lease costs; (ii) costs related to debt issuances and amendments; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) impairment charges; (v) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (vi) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) costs related to debt issuances and amendments; (iv) loss on extinguishment of debt; (v) income tax expense; (vi) depreciation and amortization; (vii) impairment charges; (viii) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (ix) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains.
Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Margin) is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) costs related to debt issuances and amendments; (iv) loss on extinguishment of debt; (v) income tax expense; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) net favorable lease costs; (viii) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (ix) other unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains.
Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A less product sourcing costs, favorable lease costs and amounts related to certain litigation matters.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as the GAAP effective tax rate less the tax effect of the reconciling items to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (footnote (e) in the table below).
The Company presents Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what the Company considers to be its core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist investors and management in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable.
The following table shows the Company’s reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the periods indicated:
