November Same Store Sales up 8.5% in Non-Harvey Markets, Demonstrating Strong Start to Fourth Quarter
Third Quarter GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share of $0.45, compared to $0.05 during Prior Year Period
Record Third Quarter Retail Gross Margin of 41.2%
Third Quarter Credit Spread of 940 basis points
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Dec. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Conn’s, Inc. (NASDAQ: CONN) (“Conn’s” or the “Company”), a specialty retailer of furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products, and provider of consumer credit, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2018.
“Fiscal year 2019 is shaping up to be one of the best years of profitability in Conn’s 128-year history. This is primarily due to our growing credit spread and strong retail gross and operating margins. Conn’s credit spread was 940 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 as a result of record interest income and fee yield and lower charge-offs of bad debts. From a retail perspective, even with Hurricane Harvey’s impact on same store sales, we achieved a retail operating margin of 12.4% during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019,” stated Norm Miller, Conn’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our successful credit transformation combined with the investments underway to maximize our retail performance have created the strongest foundation since I came to the company over three years ago. We are well positioned headed into the fourth quarter as November same store sales increased 8.5% in our non-Harvey markets. Total same store sales increased 3.6% in November, even as we lapped strong sales in the prior year in our Hurricane Harvey impacted markets.”
“As we plan for our next fiscal year, we expect stronger retail growth driven by improving same store sales trends, coupled with opening 12 to 15 new Conn’s HomePlus locations. I am pleased with the progress we are making, and the positive momentum our highly profitable and differentiated business is achieving,” concluded Mr. Miller.
Third quarter of fiscal year 2019 highlights include:
- Opened three new Conn’s HomePlus locations in Virginia
- Record third quarter retail gross margin of 41.2%
- Retail operating margin of 12.4%, 230 basis points higher than the third quarter of last fiscal year
- Credit spread of 940 basis points, the best third quarter credit spread in five years
- Record quarterly credit segment revenues of $89.8 million
- 60+ day delinquency rate of 9.7%, representing the fifth consecutive quarter that the rate has declined year-over-year
- Third consecutive quarter of positive credit segment operating income, which has generated a $24.5 million improvement fiscal year-to-date compared to the prior fiscal year period
- Interest expense of $15.1 million, compared to $18.1 million for the same period last fiscal year
- GAAP earnings of $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $0.05 per diluted share for the same period last fiscal year
- Adjusted earnings of $0.59 per diluted share, an increase of 228% over the prior year period
Third Quarter Results
Net income for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was $14.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to net income for the three months ended October 31, 2017 of $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was $18.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, which excludes severance costs related to a change in the executive management team and costs related to a legal judgment from a 2014 sale of charged-off accounts (refer to Note 6, Contingencies, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended October 31, 2018). This compares to adjusted net income for the three months ended October 31, 2017 of $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, which excludes a loss from the write-off of previously capitalized costs for a software project that was abandoned during the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 related to the implementation of a new point of sale system that began in fiscal year 2013 and a loss from extinguishment of debt related to the early redemption of our 2016-A Notes.
Retail Segment Third Quarter Results
Retail revenues were $284.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to $291.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2017, a decrease of $7.9 million or 2.7%. The decrease in retail revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in same store sales of 4.4%, partially offset by new store growth. The decrease in same store sales was due to a decrease in same store sales for markets impacted by Hurricane Harvey of 11.8% and a decrease in same store sales for non-Hurricane Harvey markets of 1.3%. We believe that the decrease in same store sales in markets impacted by Hurricane Harvey was primarily a result of the impact of rebuilding efforts during the three months ended October 31, 2017. For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, retail segment operating income was $35.3 million and $29.6 million, respectively. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted retail segment operating income for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was $36.0 million, after excluding severance costs related to a change in the executive management team. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted retail segment operating income for the three months ended October 31, 2017 was $35.4 million, after excluding a loss from the write-off of previously capitalized costs for a software project that was abandoned during the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 related to the implementation of a new point of sale system that began in fiscal year 2013.

(1) | During the three months ended October 31, 2017, we reclassified certain products from the consumer electronics and home office product categories into the furniture and mattress product category. Net sales of these products reflected in the consumer electronics and home office product categories for the three months ended October 31, 2017 were $2.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The change in same store sales reflects the current product classification for both periods presented. | |
(2) | The total change in sales of repair service agreement commissions includes retrospective commissions, which are not reflected in the change in same store sales. |
The following provides a summary of the same store sales performance of our product categories during the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017:
- Furniture unit volume decreased 8.9%, partially offset by a 2.8% increase in average selling price;
- Mattress unit volume decreased 16.6%, partially offset by a 11.3% increase in average selling price;
- Home appliance unit volume decreased 14.0%, partially offset by a 8.8% increase in average selling price;
- Consumer electronic unit volume decreased 7.4%, partially offset by a 7.8% increase in average selling price; and
- Home office unit volume increased 24.5%, partially offset by a 11.7% decrease in average selling price.
Enhancements to the product assortment and improved product sales mix for higher-priced items have driven an increase to average sales prices in most product categories.
Credit Segment Third Quarter Results
Credit revenues were $89.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to $81.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2017, an increase of $8.5 million or 10.5%. The increase in credit revenue was driven by the origination of our higher-yielding direct loan product, which resulted in an increase in the portfolio yield rate to 21.7% from 19.8% for the comparative periods, and by a 2.2% increase in the average balance of the customer receivable portfolio. The total customer portfolio balance was $1.53 billion at October 31, 2018 compared to $1.49 billion at October 31, 2017, an increase of 2.7%.
The provision for bad debts decreased to $47.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 from $56.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2017, a decrease of $9.0 million. The decrease was driven by a year-over-year reduction in net charge-offs of $9.7 million.
Credit segment operating income was $0.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to an operating loss of $8.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2017. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted credit segment operating income for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was $5.0 million, after excluding costs related to a legal judgment from a 2014 sale of charged-off accounts (refer to Note 6, Contingencies, in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended October 31, 2018). On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted credit segment operating loss for the three months ended October 31, 2017 was $8.7 million.
Additional information on the credit portfolio and its performance may be found in the Customer Receivable Portfolio Statistics table included within this press release and in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2018, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 4, 2018.

Basis for presentation of non-GAAP disclosures:
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company also provides the following non-GAAP financial measures: retail segment adjusted operating income, retail segment adjusted operating margin, credit segment adjusted operating income (loss), credit segment adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, comparable GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP. They are intended to provide additional insight into our operations and the factors and trends affecting the business. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to financial statement readers because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making, and (2) they are used by some of our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our operating results.
