   of the effects of these intercompany eliminations on our consolidated sales and operating income.

 

 

Net income for the quarter was $4.3 million or $0.40 per share as compared to net income of $5.8 million or $0.54 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. Included in net income for the prior year quarter was a $3.3 million pre-tax gain on the sale of an equity investment and a $1.1 million pre-tax loss on the write down of a store property previously operated by a licensee. Excluding the effects of these items, net income would have been $4.5 million or $0.42 per diluted share.

 

 

 

 

“We continued to invest energy and capital into all facets of our vertically integrated model during the fiscal 2018 second quarter,” commented Rob Spilman, Chairman and CEO. “As we navigate the competitive traditional brick and mortar marketplace and face the challenge of pure play e-commerce, we believe more than ever that our closed loop of proprietary product, a vibrant store and digital experience, and the end of transaction service provided by our logistics arm offers the consumer a unique home furnishings experience that builds customer loyalty and repeat business. To that end, we are broadening our product assortment, re-architecting our customer service paradigm, researching a new digital marketing template, and refining the capabilities of our middle mile and final mile delivery platform; all underway as we expand our store network. As previously communicated, these endeavors may prove detrimental to our short term financial performance as witnessed this past quarter. We are committed to the proper development of all elements of our strategy as we seek to further enhance Bassett’s position in today’s fluid retail environment.”

 

“Consolidated revenue grew by 2.5% to $117.0 million compared to last year’s 7.0% sales increase,” continued Spilman. “This year, the growth was generated by the Lane Venture acquisition as sales for the rest of the company were virtually flat. Two stores were opened in the quarter – a corporately owned location in El Paso, Texas and our third licensee owned store in the San Diego market. For the remainder of the fiscal year, we plan to open 3 to 4 new corporate locations and two licensee owned stores, re-position two more corporate stores, and open our first clearance center. Enhancements to our website, including our new sectional configurator and the addition of staff to augment our digital marketing capabilities, were important initiatives in the quarter. The foundational elements of our digital strategy are ongoing but necessary for us to effectively compete today and into the future. Part of our strategy involves the fusion of digital technology and our physical store environment which will initially culminate with the opening of our new Generation 3 stores in Texas this fall.”

 

Wholesale Segment

 

Net sales for the wholesale segment were $63.8 million for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to $62.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.5 million or 2.4%. This increase was driven by $3.3 million in sales from Lane Venture, acquired during the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by a 1.6% decrease in furniture shipments to the open market (outside the Bassett Home Furnishings network), and a 3.8% decrease in furniture shipments to the Bassett Home Furnishings network compared to the prior year period. Wholesale shipments of accessories, a much smaller component of the Company’s wholesale revenues, increased 17% over the prior year quarter. Gross margins for the wholesale segment were 32.9% for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to 33.8% for the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by lower margins in the Bassett Custom Upholstery operations from continued higher material costs coupled with lower absorption of fixed costs from lower volumes partially offset by improved margins in the Bassett Custom Wood operations due to operational efficiencies. In June 2018, the Company implemented targeted price increases to its custom upholstery line to mitigate the effects of the cost increases. Wholesale SG&A for the second quarter of 2018 was $17.9 million as compared to $16.3 million for the prior year period. SG&A as a percentage of sales increased to 28.1% as compared to 26.1% for the second quarter of 2017. This increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by planned higher digital marketing and other brand development costs coupled with the shift in timing of certain marketing costs that occurred in the third quarter of the prior year. Operating income was $3.0 million or 4.8% of sales as compared to $4.8 million or 7.7% of sales in the prior year.

 

 

 

 

“Growth in Bassett Casegoods and the volume from the Lane Venture acquisition provided the revenue increase in our wholesale segment,” added Spilman. “The successful launch and retail sell through of our Bassett Modern line this spring propelled Bassett Casegoods to positive year over year sales for the first time in several quarters. Bassett Custom Wood also grew modestly in the period. A sales decline in Bassett Custom Upholstery, excluding Lane Venture, coupled with ongoing raw material inflation and the previously referenced digital marketing investments were the main culprits in our wholesale operating profit decline. A complete refresh of our signature Bassett Custom Upholstery program is scheduled for this fall. This product has been the stalwart of our assortment for many years and we have been working on the new version since mid-2017. The new program, replete with a more robust interactive web component, will begin shipping this fall in anticipation of an early 2019 introductory promotion. On the cost side, we implemented a price increase in early June to cover the material cost escalation being passed on to us by our suppliers and we expect to begin to see margin relief in July and beyond as a result. We made progress in the integration of Lane Venture and in establishing a new manufacturing platform that will offer its dealer base a level of service to which they have previously been unaccustomed.”

 

Retail Segment

 

Net sales for the 64 Company-owned Bassett Home Furnishings stores were $68.7 million for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to $67.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.6 million or 2.3%. The overall increase was due to a $2.6 million increase in non-comparable store sales partially offset by a 1.8% decrease in comparable store sales.

 

While the Company does not recognize sales until goods are delivered to the consumer, management tracks written sales (the retail dollar value of sales orders taken, rather than delivered) as a key store performance indicator. Written sales for comparable stores decreased by 2.6% for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2017.

 

The consolidated retail operating income for the second quarter of 2018 was $1.6 million as compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.2 million. The 53 comparable stores generated operating income of $2.7 million for the quarter, or 4.4% of sales, as compared to $2.8 million, or 4.5% of sales, for the prior year quarter. Gross margins for comparable stores were 52.0% for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to 50.9% for the second quarter of 2017.  This increase was primarily due to improved pricing strategies and product mix. SG&A expenses for comparable stores increased $0.2 million to $28.6 million or 47.6% of sales as compared to 46.3% of sales for the second quarter of 2017 due primarily to higher personnel and health care costs.

 

Non-comparable stores generated sales of $8.6 million with an operating loss of $1.0 million as compared to sales of $6.0 million and an operating loss of $1.4 million in the prior year quarter. As part of the $1.0 million loss for the second quarter of 2018, the Company incurred $0.2 million in new store pre-opening costs, a decrease of $0.3 million from the prior year. In addition, the Company incurred $0.4 million of post opening startup losses compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. As previously stated, the Company’s retail expansion is initially costly. However, the Company believes that site selection and new store presentation will generally result in locations that operate at or above a break-even level within a reasonable period of time following store opening.

 

“We ended the quarter with a total of 64 corporate stores in operation compared with 62 a year ago,” said Spilman. “The additional stores opened in the past year provided our overall corporate retail sales increase as comparable store sales fell by 1.8% compared to last year’s 6.3% increase. At the mid-point of fiscal 2018, comparable store sales stand at a positive 0.7%. Historically high retail gross margins helped to generate a 19% improvement in retail operating income. Our average ticket and close ratio continue to improve and have somewhat mitigated the decline in physical store traffic that we have experienced in most of our stores this year. Our marketing efforts are centered on the changing dynamics in which consumer’s access information and the corresponding effects on store traffic. With the help of outside expertise, we are aggregating the many sources of consumer interface data that flow into Bassett and will use that information to customize market specific strategies on a case by case basis. These studies are ongoing and their fruit will be brought to bear later this year in several test markets. Another important piece of work is our testing of a new home delivery model for our Zenith Logistics division. We believe that we can ultimately operate fewer delivery centers and maintain our industry leading speed-to-home proposition for truly customized furniture more efficiently and more profitably. Given the importance of these initiatives and the pending debut of our Generation 3 prototype, we plan to slow the pace of new corporate store openings once we enter 2019.”

 

 

 

 

Logistical Services Segment

 

Revenue for Zenith was $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to $24.6 million for 2017, an increase of $0.3 million or 1.2%. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues from non-Bassett customers. Zenith’s operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $24.6 million or 98.8% of revenue as compared to $23.8 million or 96.8% for the second quarter of 2017. This resulted in operating profit of $0.3 million or 1.2% of sales for the current quarter as compared to $0.8 million or 3.2% of sales for the prior year quarter. This operating profit decrease was primarily due to increased fleet insurance costs due to claims experience, higher fuel costs and inefficiencies in the final mile operation.
