Quarter Summary

Management Commentary – Cabell Lolmaugh, CEO
“Our focus on improving the performance of our existing store portfolio again yielded strong topline results with another quarter of double-digit comps and sales in excess of $100 million . Both are great metrics for us and a testament to our entire team. We also saw a nice sequential improvement in gross margin from the first quarter. While we continue to navigate challenges presented by inflation and have seen our sales growth start to decelerate, we believe our strong balance sheet, improved in-stock levels, and exceptional team put us in a great position for long term success.”

(1) As compared to the prior year period. (2) The comparable store sales operating metric is the percentage change in sales of comparable stores period over period. A store is considered comparable on the first day of the 13th full month of operation. When a store is relocated, it is excluded from the comparable store sales calculation. Comparable store sales includes total charges to customers less any actual returns. The Company includes the change in allowance for anticipated sales returns applicable to comparable stores in the comparable store sales calculation.
SECOND QUARTER 2022
Net Sales $11.4 million , or 11.9% , over the second quarter of 2021. Sales increased at comparable stores by 12.0% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in average ticket driven by higher prices.
Gross Profit $4.6 million , or 6.9% , in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The gross margin rate was 66.0% and 69.1% during the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin rate was primarily due to vendor price increases in response to increases in the cost of energy, labor and other inflationary cost pressures as well as higher international freight rates. These cost increases were partially offset by an increase in our selling prices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses $2.4 million , or 4.1% , from $58.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 to $61.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in pay and benefits expenses excluding bonus expenses due to an increase in staffing levels, sales commissions and benefits costs. Additionally, store occupancy costs increased by $1.0 million due to inflationary cost pressures that resulted in higher common area maintenance, store repair and utility expenses, a $0.7 million increase in marketing expenses and a $0.4 million increase in travel expenses. These expense increases were partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in bonus expense during the quarter due to a reduction in accruals for annual incentives and lower levels of sales bonuses and a $0.7 million decrease in depreciation expense.
Inventory $5.3 million from $104.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022 to $110.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2022. The higher inventory level is attributable to an increase in the cost of the products purchased from our suppliers as well as steps taken to accelerate certain purchases ahead of announced price increases by our suppliers.
Capital Structure and Liquidity $10.5 million and our debt balance remained at $5.0 million .

Pretax Return on Capital Employed
Pretax Return on Capital Employed was 15.0% for the trailing twelve months as of the end of the second quarter in 2022 compared to 13.9% for the trailing twelve months as of the end of the second quarter in 2021. See the Pretax Return on Capital Employed calculation in the table below.

(1) Income statement accounts represent the activity for the trailing twelve months ended as of each of the balance sheet dates. Balance sheet accounts represent the average account balance for the four quarters ended as of each of the balance sheet dates.
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company calculates Pretax Return on Capital Employed by taking income (loss) from operations divided by capital employed. Capital employed equals total assets less accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liability and other long-term liabilities. Other companies may calculate both Adjusted EBITDA and Pretax Return on Capital Employed differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Company performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, for budgeting and planning purposes and for assessing the effectiveness of capital allocation over time. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and the Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Company management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
