Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter Highlights (December-January-February)

  • Comparable sales increased for the third consecutive quarter, with Total Enterprise comparable sales growth of 4%, led by strong digital growth of approximately 86%.  Comparable store sales decreased 20%.
     
    • The Bed Bath & Beyond banner had comparable sales growth of 6%, benefitting from strong digital growth of approximately 99%, and was driven by key destination categories including Bedding, Bath, Kitchen Food Prep, Indoor Décor and Home Organization. These top 5 categories had strong comp sales growth of 12% (combined) and represented almost two-thirds of total Bed Bath & Beyond banner sales in the fourth quarter.

    • The buybuy BABY banner returned to delivering comparable sales growth in the quarter, led by strong digital growth of over 50%, which represented almost two-thirds of BABY banner sales.

  • Net sales of $2.6 billion decreased 16% compared to the prior year period, driven by impacts from previously planned non-core banner divestitures and permanent store closures. Excluding these impacts of approximately 12%, Core banner1 net sales decreased approximately 3%, primarily due to store closing activity consistent with the Company's network optimization program. Total store net sales decreased 27%, and total digital net sales increased 86%.
     
  • Gross margin of 31.5% decreased 110 basis points compared to the prior year period. Excluding special items, adjusted gross margin2 increased 20 basis points to 32.8%, primarily driven by optimization of promotion and markdowns, favorable product mix and leverage of distribution and fulfillment costs, partially offset by higher digital channel mix, including significant industrywide freight cost increases.

  • SG&A expense of $763 million decreased $264 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A2 expense decreased $190 million compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by reductions from the non-core banner divestitures and lower occupancy expense on a smaller base of stores.

  • Net earnings per diluted share of $0.08 includes approximately $38 million from special items.  Excluding special items, adjusted net earnings per diluted share2 was $0.40. Special items include the net loss on sale of businesses, non-cash impairment charges related to certain store-level assets, charges recorded in connection with the restructuring and transformation initiatives, which includes markdowns and inventory reserves related to the planned assortment transition to Owned Brands and the income tax impact of these items.

  • Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 13% to $168 million, primarily due to higher comparable sales coupled with adjusted gross margin expansion and SG&A expense reduction. 

  • Cash flow from operations of $76 million and $14 million used in cash flow from investing, inclusive of $66 million of capital expenditures. Positive free cash flow2 of $62 million.

  • Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of approximately $1.4 billion increased $384 million compared to the prior year period.

  • Total Liquidity4 of approximately $2.1 billion, including the Company's asset based revolving credit facility.

 

Fiscal 2021 Outlook
During the Company's fiscal fourth quarter conference call with analysts and investors, it will discuss its outlook for fiscal 2021 and its long-term financial goals to strengthen and accelerate growth and unlock and drive sustainable total shareholder return. With the non-core banner divestitures now complete, the Company is reaffirming its previously communicated fiscal 2021 Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA outlook of between $8.0 - $8.2 billion and between $500 - $525 million, respectively.  The Company also announced an increase in its 3-year share repurchase program to $1 billion from $825 million.

Fiscal 2021 First Quarter Outlook:

The Company's fiscal 2021 first quarter net sales will be impacted by comparisons to last year when the majority of its stores were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as by non-core banner divestitures and its ongoing fleet optimization program. To provide further perspective on its portfolio transformation and the quarterly comparisons of Core Go-Forward banners, the Company has provided below a quarterly summary of fiscal 2019 and 2020 net sales, on both a reported basis and on a Core Go-Forward basis. The Core Go-Forward banners include Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy BABY, Harmon Face Values and Decorist.

Directionally, the Company expects its fiscal 2021 first quarter net sales, on a reported basis, to increase by over 40% versus the prior year period when the vast majority of its stores were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in spite of non-core banner divestitures. Excluding the impact from divested businesses in both periods, the Company expects first quarter net sales growth of its Core Go-Forward banners to be much higher by approximately +65 to +70%. 

The Company expects to show sequential improvement in gross margin as the fiscal year progresses. Directionally, it expects adjusted gross margin in the fiscal 2021 first quarter to be in the 34% range and expects to deliver between $80 and $90 million in adjusted EBITDA.

Additional details on the Company's fiscal 2021 outlook and visibility on the first quarter will be provided during its conference call as well as in its investor presentation available on the investor relations section of the Company's website at http://bedbathandbeyond.gcs-web.com/investor-relations

The Company is providing this additional transparency to help analysts and investors gain further perspective on the Company's recent portfolio transformation and the quarterly comparisons of the Core Go-Forward banners which include Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy BABY, Harmon Face Values and Decorist.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following table reconciles non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release or that may be presented on the Company's fourth quarter conference call with analysts and investors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide management, analysts, investors and other users of the Company's financial information with meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company's business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, but in addition to other financial measures prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP, including the year-to-year results. The Company's method of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and the Company does not recommend the sole use of this non-GAAP measure to assess its financial and earnings performance. For reasons noted above, the Company is presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures for its fiscal 2020 fourth quarter. In order for investors to be able to more easily compare the Company's performance across periods, the Company has included comparable reconciliations for the 2019 period in the reconciliation tables below. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its guidance with respect to Adjusted EBITDA because the Company is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the adjustments may be recognized. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
