Hudson Group Reports First Quarter 2019 Results

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.--()--Hudson Ltd. (NYSE: HUD) (“Hudson Group”), a leader in North American travel retail, announced today its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Highlights of the Quarter:

  • Organic sales growth of 4.7%;
  • Gross margin increased 100 bps to 63.8% for the quarter;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $37.7 million, a 2.4% year-over-year increase;

“Performance started out strong in the first quarter of 2019 as demonstrated by our progress in driving growth in both turnover and profitability. We are particularly pleased with our solid organic sales growth, the increase in net new business, and the improvement in gross margin,” stated Roger Fordyce, CEO of Hudson Group. “We continue to be successful growing our footprint and partnerships with new brands and remain excited about the opportunities with our landlord partners. We have a robust pipeline of projects that we are working on as well as future opportunities in both retail and food & beverage. Finally, our strong reputation of offering a best-in-class merchandising product selection, unique store formats and digital enhancements position us well to drive long-term growth and profitability.”

Accounting and Financial Presentation Changes

In the first quarter the following accounting and financial presentation changes have been made:

  • IFRS 16 Leases was adopted as of January 1, 2019 which requires the capitalization of certain fixed lease payments. Please see Table 1 for results pre IFRS 16 impacts.
  • In conjunction with the new lease standard (IFRS 16) and its impact on the statement of consolidated income, the company took the opportunity to restructure the chart of accounts which is more representative of the company’s operating activities. Please see Table 6 for reclassifications.
  • The definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit Attributable to Equity holders of the parent have been revised. Please see Tables 4 and 5 for non-IFRS reconciliations.

Management Discussion of First Quarter 2019

Income Statement

  • Turnover increased $18.2 million or 4.3% to $445.0 million for the first quarter compared to $426.8 million in the first quarter 2018.
    • First quarter net sales increased $19.6 million to $434.6 million or 4.7% from the year-ago period.
    • First quarter organic sales growth was 4.7%, compared to 9.4% in the year-ago period.
    • First quarter like-for-like sales growth was 2.2% (3.2% in constant currency), compared to 5.5% (4.5% in constant currency) in the year-ago period.
  • Gross profit increased $15.8 million or 5.9% to $283.8 million in the first quarter compared to $268.0 million in the year-ago period. Gross margin increased 100 bps to 63.8% during the quarter due to improved vendor terms, as well as continued sales mix shift to higher margin categories.
  • Leases expenses (formerly included in Selling expenses) decreased $51.5 million or 53.1% to $45.4 million in the first quarter as compared to the year-ago period due to the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, which requires the capitalization of the fixed portion of rent payments. Beginning January 1, 2019, lease expenses are only comprised of lease payments that are variable in nature.
  • Personnel expenses increased $17.4 million or 17.8% to $115.0 million in the first quarter as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to $7.6 million of executive separation expenses, opening new store locations as well as wage increases and additional personnel expense upon becoming a public company. As a percentage of turnover, personnel expenses increased from 22.9% to 25.8%.
  • Other expenses (formerly General expenses) decreased $1.9 million or 4.8% to $37.4 million in the first quarter as compared to the year-ago period. As a percentage of turnover, other expenses decreased from 9.2% to 8.4%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.9 million or 2.4% to $37.7 million in the first quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. We have revised the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to add back the charge related to capitalized right of use assets which was adopted on January 1, 2019 for comparability to the prior year period.
  • Depreciation, amortization and impairment increased $48.7 million or 169.1% in the first quarter as compared to the year-ago quarter due to the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases which requires the capitalization and depreciation of right of use assets, which are primarily comprised of our leases and concessions.
  • Reported net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent was a loss of $6.7 million in the first quarter compared to a loss of $5.7 million in the year ago quarter, while reported basic and diluted earnings per share increased to a loss per share of $0.07 compared to a loss per share of $0.06 in the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent increased $4.3 million to $7.8 million in the first quarter ($11.1 million ex IFRS 16 impact), while adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $0.08 ($0.12 ex IFRS 16 impact) from $0.04 in the prior year quarter. Beginning this quarter, the calculation of this item has been revised to include impairment of assets, one-off income tax items, and income tax adjustment on amortization related to acquisitions. The prior year quarters have been recalculated in the accompanying tables for comparability purposes.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

  • Cash flows from operating activities for the quarter were $93.5 million compared to $50.5 million in the prior year quarter. The improvement in operating cash flows was due to the adoption of IFRS 16, which reclassifies capitalized lease payments from operating activities to financing activities.
  • At March 31, 2019, the Company’s adjusted net debt (total borrowings excluding lease obligations, minus cash) was $304.3 million resulting in adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage of 1.3 times, compared to 1.3 times at December 31, 2018.
  • Capital expenditures in the first quarter totaled $20.1 million compared to $15.3 million in the prior year quarter as the result of the timing of new projects.

Operational Update

As of March 31, 2019, Hudson Group operated 1,012 stores, across 88 locations, totaling 1.1 million square feet of retail space.

During the first quarter, the Company retained and expanded business through an RFP win in Philadelphia International Airport, bringing the total footprint in this airport to approximately 17,000 square feet.

Additionally, the Company successfully won an RFP at Indianapolis International, a new market for the Company, which includes approximately 9,000 incremental square feet.

Hudson also successfully extended a lease at San Francisco International Airport during the quarter.

Website Information

We routinely post important information for investors on the Investor Relations section of our website, investors.hudsongroup.com. We intend to use this website as a means of disclosing material information. Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts.

Non-IFRS and Other Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is not a uniformly or legally defined financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial performance. Because adjusted EBITDA is not determined in accordance with IFRS, and is susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. We also believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our capital structure (primarily interest expense), asset base (depreciation and amortization), charges related to right of use assets, and non-recurring transactions, impairments of financial assets and changes in provisions (primarily relating to costs associated with the closing or restructuring of our operations). Our management also uses adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including financial projections. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS as issued by IASB. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net profit is provided in the attached schedules.

Adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is a non-IFRS measure. We define adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent as net profit attributable to equity holders of parent adjusted for the items set forth in the table below. Adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is a non-IFRS measure and is not a uniformly or legally defined financial measure. Adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall operating performance. Because adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is not determined in accordance with IFRS, and is susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is included in this press release because it is a measure of our operating performance and we believe that adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. We also believe adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it removes the effects of purchase accounting for acquired intangible assets (primarily concessions), non-recurring transactions, impairments of assets, one-off tax items, changes in provisions (primarily relating to costs associated with the closing or restructuring of our operations), and tax adjustments where applicable. Management does not consider such costs for the purpose of evaluating the performance of the business and as a result uses adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent for planning purposes. Adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS as issued by IASB. A reconciliation of adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of parent to net profit attributable to equity holders of parent is provided in the attached schedules.

Organic net sales growth represents the combination of growth in aggregate monthly sales from (i) like-for-like net sales growth and (ii) net new business and expansions. Like-for-like growth represents the growth in aggregate monthly net sales in the applicable period at stores that have been operating for at least 12 months. Like-for-like growth excludes growth attributable to (i) net new business and expansions until such stores have been part of our business for at least 12 months and (ii) acquired stores until such stores have been part of our business for at least 12 months. Net new business and expansions consists of growth from (i) changes in the total number of our stores (other than acquired stores), (ii) changes in the retail space of our existing stores and (iii) modification of store retail concepts through rebranding. Net new business and expansions excludes growth attributable to acquired stores until such stores have been part of our business for at least 12 months. Like-for-like growth in constant currency is calculated by keeping exchange rates constant for each month being compared from period to period. We believe that the presentation of like-for-like growth in constant currency basis assists investors in comparing period to period operating results as it removes the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage represents total borrowings (excluding lease obligations) less cash at March 31, 2019 divided by adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019.

(1)

The company has revised the calculation of Adjusted Net Profit Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent to exclude not only
amortization related to acquisitions and other operational charges (net of income tax), but also to exclude impairment of assets,
income tax adjustment on amortization related to acquisitions and impairment and other one-off income tax items. The company
believes the new calculation is useful to investors because it removes the effects of purchase accounting for acquired intangible
assets (primarily concessions), non-recurring transactions and impairments of assets.

 

(2)

Although the values assigned to the concession rights during the purchase price allocation are fair values, we believe that their
additional amortization doesn't allow a fair comparison with our existing business previous to the business combination, as the
costs of the intangible assets have been incurred.

 

(3)

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, other operational charges consisted of $7.6 million of executive separation expense and
$0.4 million of other non-recurring items.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, other operational charges consisted of $0.7 million of asset write-offs related to conversions
and store closings, $0.5 million of uncollected receivables, $0.4 million of restructuring expenses, $0.4 million of IPO transaction
costs and $0.6 million of other non-recurring items.
