December 12, 2019 7:01 AM

Third quarter net sales growth of 25%
Third quarter total comparable sales increase of 32.5%
Comparable showroom sales up 27.1%,
Comparable internet sales up 47.7%

STAMFORD, Conn., Dec. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Lovesac Company (Nasdaq: LOVE) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2020, which ended on November 3, 2019.

The Company announced its third quarter fiscal 2020 performance, including net sales growth of 25% and total comparable sales growth of 32.5% driven by increases in new customers as well as increases in average order value (AOV). New product introductions including the Sactionals PowerHub and Storage Seat have exhibited 45% attachment rates and have lifted the blended AOV of all Sactionals purchases (new and repeat) significantly. The Company stated it has made good progress on all strategic priorities including supply chain optimization, sourcing, growth of the pop-up shop business, and the successful launch of four permanent shop in shop locations within Macy’s stores intended as a test toward a larger program.

Shawn Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are very pleased to have delivered better than expected third quarter Adjusted EBITDA results even with a slight top-line impact from a timing shift of showroom openings. This demonstrates our disciplined approach to managing the business while still achieving continued high growth.”

The Company experienced a timing shift of showroom openings in the third quarter. These showrooms are expected to open in the fiscal fourth quarter for an ending showroom count of 91, or a 21% increase over last year. As a result of these third quarter shifts, the Company is narrowing its expected net sales growth range for the year to 40% - 42% (from 40% - 45% previously) and continues to expect positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year.

Nelson added, “The all-important fourth quarter is off to a great start with greater than 42% growth over fourth quarter last year and we are on track to deliver positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year.”

Non-GAAP Information

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): adjusted net loss, adjusted diluted loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net loss excludes the effect of one-time costs related to the Company’s IPO in June 2018 and fees associated with fundraising and reorganizing activities. Adjusted diluted loss per share is defined as adjusted net loss divided by a pro forma share count which assumes the IPO took place before the relevant time period. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, sponsor fees, deferred rent, equity-based compensation, write-off of property and equipment, one-time IPO-related expenses, and fees associated with fundraising and reorganizing activities. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures” in this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of the Company’s business and facilitate a more meaningful comparison of its diluted income per share and actual results on a period-over-period basis. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate these items differently than the Company does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

Certain statements either contained in or incorporated by reference into this communication, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections and statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “aim(s),” “can,” “would,” “expect(s),” “estimate(s),” “project(s),” “forecast(s)”, “positioned,” “approximately,” “potential,” “goal,” “pro forma,” “strategy,” “outlook” and similar expressions.

We may not actually achieve the plans, carry out the intentions or meet the expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results and performance could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are the risk of disruptions to current plans and operations, including the timing of openings of new showrooms that further shift expect growth to later periods, slower than expected growth during the fourth quarter and risks related to tariffs, the countermeasures and mitigation steps that we adopt in response to tariffs and other similar issues, as well as those risks and uncertainties disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and similar disclosures in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which are available on our investor relations website at investor.lovesac.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
