J.Jill, Inc. (NYSE:JILL) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 30, 2021.

Claire Spofford, President and Chief Executive Officer of J.Jill, Inc. stated, “We are pleased with our third quarter performance and are encouraged by the ongoing customer response to our product at full price. These results reflect our continued recovery as we’ve made progress implementing our strategic initiatives resulting in healthy gross margin expansion and significant year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. Our focus on full price selling, improved inventory management, and the frequent flow of inspired products has further strengthened our operating model.”

Ms. Spofford continued, “Entering the holiday season, we are well-positioned to delight our customers with the newness and novelty that she has responded to throughout this year. Our teams have worked hard to manage the supply chain so that we have the right inventory levels for the holiday season and through the fourth quarter.

For the third quarter ended October 30, 2021:

  • Total company comparable sales, which includes comparable store and direct to consumer sales, increased by 42.2%.

  • Gross profit was $104.5 million compared to $69.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Gross margin was 68.9% compared to 58.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The year over year gross margin increase was driven by strong full price selling and reduced promotions which more than offset approximately 200bps of freight expense due to supply chain disruption.
  • SG&A was $85.5 million compared to $92.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. In third quarter of fiscal 2020, SG&A included $12.8 million of transaction costs related to the debt-restructuring completed on September 30, 2020, and other one-time expenses compared with a one-time benefit of $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Gross margin was 68.6% compared to 57.9% in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020. The year over year gross margin increase was driven by strong full price selling and reduced promotions.
  • SG&A was $250.5 million compared to $257.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, SG&A included $22.1 million of transaction costs related to the debt-restructuring completed on September 30, 2020, and other one-time expenses compared with $0.5 million of one-time expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021. Excluding these one-time items from both periods, SG&A as a percentage of total net sales was 56.8% compared to 78.4% in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020.

  • During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021, the Company recorded $59.8 million of non-cash charges associated with mark-to-market adjustments for the outstanding warrants and an embedded derivative associated with the Company’s Priming term loan. The mark-to-market adjustment was caused by the impact of J.Jill’s higher stock price on the valuation of the Company’s option to either paydown $4.9 million of principal on May 31, 2021 or issue additional shares to the lenders and the related antidilution provision in the warrant agreement.
  • During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $8.4 million compared to a benefit of $38.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, and the effective tax rate was -36.2% compared to 25.5% in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020.
  • Net loss was $31.7 million which includes $59.8 million of charges related to the fair value adjustment of the warrants and the Priming Loan embedded derivative, compared to a loss of $112.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020.
  • Net Loss per Diluted Share was $2.65 compared to a net loss of $12.49 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020 including the impact of non-recurring items. Excluding the impact of these items, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share* in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 was $1.84 compared to a loss of $5.97 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020.

  • On August 27, 2021, the Company made a $25.0 million voluntary principal payment on the Priming Loan. This payment was made to avoid increased PIK interest and fees.
  • Inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 15.8% to $56.9 million compared to $67.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

*Non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income from Operations and Adjusted Net Income” for more information.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company expects revenues to grow compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The company also expects strong Adjusted EBITDA growth for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year, driven by full price selling and a reduction in promotions which will more than offset expected incremental freight pressures and costs related to increased store operating hours and shipping costs.

The Company now expects total capital spend in fiscal 2021 to be about $6.0 million and expects to close approximately 20 stores in fiscal 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance:

  • Adjusted EBITDA, which represents net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, fair value adjustments of warrants and derivatives and other non-recurring expenses and one-time items. We present Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance of our business and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations. Further, we recognize Adjusted EBITDA as a commonly used measure in determining business value and as such, use it internally to report results.
  • Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, which represents operating income (loss) plus impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets and other non-recurring expense and one-time items. We present Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period.
  • Adjusted Net Income (Loss), which represents net income (loss) plus impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, fair value adjustments of warrants and derivatives and other non-recurring expenses and one-time items. We present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period.
  • Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”) represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted Diluted EPS is presented as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period.

While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are useful in evaluating our business, they are non-GAAP financial measures that have limitations as analytical tools. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered alternatives to, or substitutes for, net income (loss) or EPS, which are calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of such non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. We recommend that you review the reconciliation and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS to net income (loss) and EPS, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, under “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as well as Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Income (Loss) to Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations” and not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS or any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
