Bassett Announces Fiscal Third quarter Results
(Bassett, Va.) – October 2, 2014 – Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: BSET) announced today its results of operations for its fiscal quarter ended August 30, 2014.
Fiscal 2014 Third quarter Highlights
● |
Consolidated sales were $85.2 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $77.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 10.4%. |
● |
Operating income for the quarter was $3.4 million or 4.0% of sales as compared to $0.8 million or 1.0% of sales for the prior year quarter. |
● |
Wholesale operating profit increased to $3.2 million or 5.7% of sales as compared to $2.4 million or 4.5% of sales for the prior year quarter. |
● |
Company-owned store delivered sales increased 17%, including a comparable store sales increase of 13%, compared to the prior year quarter. |
● |
Comparable store operating income was $0.5 million for the quarter, a $1.9 million improvement over the prior year’s loss of $1.4 million. |
● |
Net income increased to $2.3 million or $0.21 per diluted share as compared to $0.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the prior year. |
● |

● |
Generated $4.8 million in operating cash during the third quarter of 2014. |
On a consolidated basis, the Company reported net sales for the third quarter of 2014 of $85.2 million as compared to $77.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $8.0 million or 10.4%. Operating income for the quarter increased by $2.6 million to $3.4 million, or 4.0% of sales, primarily due to improved gross margins, partially offset by $0.2 million of higher new store related losses (both pre- and post-opening). The Company reported net income of $2.3 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $0.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2013.
“Our team was excited with our third quarter financial results as we grew our top line by 10.4% and quadrupled our operating income to $3.4 million,” said Robert H. Spilman, Jr. “We are executing our strategy at a higher level as witnessed by a 13% comparable store sales increase in our Company-owned stores and a strong incoming wholesale order rate during the period. Our balance sheet is strong as cash and investments grew to $42.6 million, partially due to the generation of $4.8 million of operating cash flow in the period. Finally, our Board of Directors voted to increase our quarterly dividend by 33% in July and the Company retired 125,100 shares of common stock at an average price of $13.52 in the quarter.”
Wholesale Segment
Net sales for the wholesale segment were $56.1 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $52.9 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $3.2 million or 6.1%. Wholesale shipments to the Bassett Home Furnishings store network increased by 9.2% while shipments to the open market (outside the Bassett Home Furnishings store network) increased 1.8% as compared to the prior year quarter. Gross margins for the wholesale segment were 32.5% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 32.2% for the third quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to improved margins in the upholstery operations with higher sales volumes providing greater leverage of fixed costs. Wholesale SG&A increased $0.3 million to $15.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2013. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.8% as compared to 27.7% for the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to greater leverage of fixed costs from higher sales volumes coupled with tighter expense control. Operating income was $3.2 million or 5.7% of sales as compared to $2.4 million or 4.5% of sales in the prior year quarter.
“Shipments of wholesale furniture grew by 6.0% during the quarter with all of the increase coming from products produced in our domestic manufacturing facilities,” cited Spilman. “In fact, 58% of our wholesale volume resulted from products completely or partially manufactured in our U.S. factories compared to 46% four years ago. These facilities allow us to quickly produce the custom products that are the defining point of differentiation in our retail stores and our product line in general. Our recent capital investment in our unique domestic manufacturing model is paying off with higher levels of productivity and service. Furthermore, this strategy drove our wholesale segment’s 36% increase in operating profit for the quarter.”
Retail Segment
Net sales for the 60 Company-owned Bassett Home Furnishings stores were $54.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $46.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $7.8 million or 17%. The increase was primarily due to a $5.6 million or 13% increase in comparable store sales coupled with a $2.2 million increase in non-comparable store sales from 7 new stores opened in the last 12 months.
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 increased by 12% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013.
The consolidated retail operating loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $0.2 million, compared to a loss of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2013. The 53 comparable stores generated operating income of $0.5 million for the quarter, or 1.0% of sales, as compared to a loss of $1.4 million or 3.3% of sales for the prior year quarter. Gross margins for comparable stores improved to 49.9% compared to 48.1% in the prior year quarter due primarily to improved pricing strategies implemented late in 2013. SG&A expenses for comparable stores increased $1.6 million to $23.9 million or 48.9% of sales as compared to 51.4% of sales for the third quarter of 2013. This decrease is primarily due to greater leverage of fixed costs due to higher sales volumes.
Losses from the non-comparable stores were $0.6 million which include $0.1 million of pre-opening costs incurred for the Rockville, Maryland store which opened in mid-July 2014. These costs generally range between $0.1 million to $0.3 million per store, depending on the overall rent costs for the location and the length of time between when the Company takes physical possession of the store and when the store opens. The Company had incurred $0.4 million of pre-opening costs for Rockville prior to the third quarter. Also included in the non-comparable store loss is $0.3 million in post-opening losses from Rockville and a store opened late in the second quarter of 2014 in Hartsdale, New York. The Company incurs losses in the two to three months following a store opening as sales are not recognized until the furniture is delivered to its customers, resulting in operating expenses without the offset from normal sales volume. Because the Company-owned stores do not maintain a stock of retail inventory that would result in quick delivery, and because of the high percentage of custom furniture sold in the stores, such deliveries are generally not made until 30 days after the furniture is ordered by the customer. The remaining seven non-comparable stores generated an operating loss of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. As the Company does not plan to have any further new store openings in 2014, no further pre-opening costs or post-opening losses are expected during the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Company expects to continue opening new stores in the future, primarily in underpenetrated markets where it currently has stores. The Company and certain licensees are actively engaged in site selection and lease negotiations for several locations and expect to open at least three to five new stores in 2015. While the Company currently expects to renew or extend three leases for Company-owned stores that expire in 2015, the Company will continue to evaluate whether it is more appropriate to reposition the stores to a more favorable location within the market as it does with any leases that come up for renewal.
“Our corporate retail team met the challenge of the seasonally slow summer months very well this year,” continued Spilman. “Although we incurred significantly higher levels of new store startup costs, we were able to improve our quarterly corporate retail operating performance by $1.3 million compared to last year. A more aggressively formulated advertising calendar produced a divisional sales increase of $7.7 million while gross margins actually improved by 190 basis points. We are especially encouraged by the fact that all of our enhanced profitability resulted from comparable stores – those open 15 months or more. We believe this is attributable to the caliber of the store management and designers that the Company has developed over the past few years and to the inviting consumer experience that our stores now provide.”
