Secaucus, New Jersey – August 25, 2020 – The Children’s Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE), the largest pure-play children’s specialty apparel retailer in North America, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended August 1, 2020.

 

Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Second quarter digital sales increased 118 percent. We have clearly benefited from our $50 million digital transformation investment, which provided us with the omni-channel capabilities necessary to fulfill our strong online demand. Since the temporary store closures in March, we have increased new customers to our digital file by approximately 175 percent, converted our store-only customers to omni-channel customers at a rate approximately 3 times the pre-pandemic rate and increased our app downloads by nearly 115 percent. Combined, these provide a strong foundation for continued digital growth as digital adoption, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to drive online sales to an increasingly greater share of total sales and provides us with a long-term market share opportunity.”

 

Elfers continued, “We opened the majority of our stores during the last two weeks of June and, as of August 1, 2020, we had 771 stores open, representing 94 percent of our total fleet. We remain on track to close 300 stores by the end of fiscal 2021 with a target of 200 store closures in fiscal 2020, inclusive of the 102 stores that we permanently closed in the first half of 2020, and 100 closures in fiscal 2021.”

 

Elfers concluded, “Due to the large majority of schools adopting remote or hybrid learning models for the start of the school year, our back to school sales have been significantly impacted and we anticipate a meaningful negative impact on our Q3 results.”

 

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Net sales decreased 12.3% to $368.9 million in the three months ended August 1, 2020 from $420.5 million in the three months ended August 3, 2019, primarily as a result of the impact of temporary store closures, along with a decrease in back to school sales beginning in mid-July, partially offset by increased digital sales.

 

Net loss was ($46.6) million, or ($3.19) per diluted share, in the three months ended August 1, 2020, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the three months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted net loss was ($21.7) million, or ($1.48) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $3.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the comparable period last year.

 

Gross profit was $67.1 million in the three months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $138.8 million in the three months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted gross profit was $93.8 million in the three months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $138.8 million in the comparable period last year, and deleveraged 760 basis points to 25.4% of net sales, primarily as a result of higher fulfillment costs related to meaningfully higher levels of ship-from-store activity related to strong digital demand.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $114.3 million in the three months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $116.4 million in the three months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted SG&A was $103.5 million in the three months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $115.5 million in the comparable period last year, and deleveraged 60 basis points to 28.1% of net sales, primarily as a result of the deleverage of fixed expenses resulting from the decline in sales, partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses associated with actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Operating loss was ($64.5) million in the three months ended August 1, 2020, compared to operating income of $3.8 million in the three months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted operating loss was ($25.2) million in the three months ended August 1, 2020, compared to adjusted operating income of $5.8 million in the comparable period last year, and deleveraged 820 basis points to (6.8%) of net sales.

 

Fiscal Year-To-Date 2020 Results

Net sales decreased 25.1% to $624.1 million in the six months ended August 1, 2020 from $832.9 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019, primarily as a result of temporary store closures, partially offset by increased digital sales.

 

Net loss was ($161.4) million, or ($11.04) per diluted share, in the six months ended August 1, 2020, compared to net income of $6.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the six months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted net loss was ($50.3) million, or ($3.44) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $8.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the comparable period last year.

 

Gross profit was $47.4 million in the six months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $290.8 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted gross profit was $162.1 million in the six months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $290.3 million in the comparable period last year, and deleveraged 890 basis points to 26.0% of net sales, primarily as a result of higher fulfillment costs related to meaningfully higher levels of ship-from-store activity related to strong digital demand.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $212.8 million in the six months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $244.4 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted SG&A was $191.7 million in the six months ended August 1, 2020, compared to $242.6 million in the comparable period last year, and deleveraged 160 basis points to 30.7% of net sales, primarily as a result of the deleverage of fixed expenses resulting from the decline in sales, partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses associated with actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Operating loss was ($237.6) million in the six months ended August 1, 2020, compared to operating income of $8.9 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019. Adjusted operating loss was ($62.8) million in the six months ended August 1, 2020, compared to adjusted operating income of $12.5 million in the comparable period last year, and deleveraged 1,160 basis points to (10.1%) of sales.

 

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The Company’s results are reported in this press release on a GAAP and as adjusted, non-GAAP basis. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted gross profit (loss), adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, and adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP measures, and are not intended to replace GAAP financial information and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes the income and expense items excluded as non-GAAP adjustments are not reflective of the performance of its core business and that providing this supplemental disclosure to investors will facilitate comparisons of the past and present performance of its core business.

 

For the three months ended August 1, 2020, the Company’s adjusted results exclude net expenses of approximately $39.2 million, primarily related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including occupancy charges for rent at our stores temporarily closed and incremental COVID-19 operating expenses, including incentive pay and personal protective equipment for our associates.

 

 2 

 

 

The total impact on income taxes for the above items was $14.3 million, including a benefit of $3.9 million, primarily resulting from the changes in operating loss carryback rules as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act.

 

For the six months ended August 1, 2020, the Company recorded an inventory provision of $63.2 million and $37.6 million of impairment charges, including the right-of-use assets recorded in connection with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. The inventory provision relates to the adverse business disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the store closures. The impairment charges were primarily a result of decreased net revenue and cash flow projections resulting from the COVID-19 disruption.

 

In addition to the inventory provision and impairment charges, the Company’s adjusted results exclude net expenses of approximately $66.6 million, primarily related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including occupancy charges for rent at our stores temporarily closed; incremental COVID-19 operating expenses, including incentive pay and personal protective equipment for our associates; and payroll and benefits for certain store employees during the period our stores were closed, net of a payroll tax credit benefit resulting from the CARES Act.

 

Additionally, the Company excluded net costs of $7.4 million, primarily related to restructuring costs.

 

The total impact on income taxes for the above items was $63.7 million, including a benefit of $17.4 million, primarily resulting from the changes in operating loss carryback rules as a result of the CARES Act.

 

Store Update

On March 18, 2020, the Company suspended all store operations in the U.S. and Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Children’s Place started reopening stores on May 19, 2020 in 10 states and reopened the majority of its remaining stores during the last two weeks of June. As of August 1, 2020, the Company had 771 of its 824 stores open to the public in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, with the majority of the closed stores located in California.

 

Consistent with the Company’s store fleet optimization initiative, the Company opened two stores and permanently closed 98 stores in the three months ended August 1, 2020. The Company ended the quarter with 824 stores and square footage of 3.9 million, a decrease of 13.2% compared to the prior year. Since our fleet optimization initiative was announced in 2013, the Company has closed 373 stores.

 

The flexibility provided by its lease actions allows the Company to target 200 store closures in fiscal 2020, including 102 stores closed in the first half of fiscal 2020, and 100 additional closures in fiscal 2021.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of August 1, 2020, the Company had approximately $36.1 million of cash and cash equivalents with no long-term debt, and $250.8 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility. The Company used approximately $42.7 million in operating cash flow in the three months ended August 1, 2020.

 

Outlook

As a result of the continued uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is not providing financial guidance.

 

Conference Call Information
