HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Dec. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears Holdings Corporation SHLD today announced financial results for its third quarter ended November 1, 2014 in line with the third quarter estimate provided on November 7, 2014. Net loss attributable to Sears Holdings' shareholders was $548 million ($5.15 loss per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $534 million ($5.03 loss per diluted share) for the prior year third quarter. Domestic Adjusted EBITDA was $(296) million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $(310) million in the prior year third quarter. The tables attached to this press release provide a reconciliation of GAAP to as adjusted amounts, including Adjusted EBITDA.1  As a supplement to this announcement, a presentation, pre-recorded conference and audio webcast are available at our website http://searsholdings.com/invest.

"We remain intently focused on delivering an unparalleled integrated retail experience for our customers through Shop Your Way and above all, returning Sears Holdings to profitability," said Edward S. Lampert, Sears Holdings' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, we unveiled or expanded several Integrated Retail customer initiatives, which helped drive online and multi-channel sales. Our members are responding to our transformation, and we are encouraged by the year-over-year domestic Adjusted EBITDA trends, which mark a positive departure from the prior six quarters. At the same time, we continue to enhance the Company's capital structure and liquidity to support our transformation into an integrated membership-focused company."

Rob Schriesheim, Sears Holdings' Chief Financial Officer, said, "Over the past several months, we have taken a number of actions to enhance our financial flexibility, support our operations during the upcoming holiday and post-holiday season, and meet our obligations. We have proven that we are an asset-rich enterprise with multiple levers at our disposal to generate financial flexibility, while creating shareholder value. In total, the actions we have taken have generated $2.2 billion in liquidity in fiscal 2014 thus far. We will continue to strategically monetize assets and manage our resources more efficiently in order to redeploy capital in support of the transformation."

Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Online and multi-channel sales grew approximately 9% over the prior year third quarter and approximately 18% over the prior year first nine months as the Company continues to transform to an Integrated Retail Platform - with shopping at the store, online and on mobile;
  • Sales to Shop Your Way® members in Sears Full-line and Kmart stores were 72% of eligible sales, consistent with the third quarter last year;
  • Kmart comparable store sales increased 0.5% for the quarter, as compared to a 2.1% decline in the third quarter of last year. Apparel, outdoor living and toys were top performers. Excluding the impact of the consumer electronics and grocery & household goods businesses, comparable store sales would have increased 2.8%;
  • Sears Domestic comparable store sales decreased 0.7% for the quarter, as compared to a 4.0% decline in the third quarter of last year, reflecting the impact of consumer electronics industry trends. Excluding the impact of consumer electronics, Sears Domestic comparable store sales would have increased 1.0%;
  • The Company continues to demonstrate that it has the financial flexibility to fund its transformation and meet its obligations. As of December 3, 2014, we had approximately $1.5 billion in availability under our credit facility; and
  • Year-to-date, we closed, or announced for closure, approximately 235 underperforming stores, the majority of which are Kmart stores. The Company, which has more than 1,830 Sears and Kmart stores, expects to migrate the shopping activity of highly engaged members who previously shopped closed stores to alternative channels. As a result, we hope to retain a portion of the sales previously associated with these stores by nurturing and maintaining our relationships with the members that shopped these locations.

Financial Results

Revenues decreased approximately $1.1 billion to $7.2 billion for the quarter ended November 1, 2014, as compared to revenues of $8.3 billion for the quarter ended November 2, 2013. The majority of the decline related to the following significant items: $384 million from the separation of the Lands' End business, which was completed in the first quarter of 2014, $340 million in less revenue from fewer Kmart and Sears Full-line stores and $326 million associated with Sears Canada, which was de-consolidated in October 2014. For the quarter, domestic comparable store sales declined 0.1%, comprised of an increase of 0.5% at Kmart and a decrease of 0.7% at Sears Domestic.

Gross margin decreased $330 million to $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to the prior year quarter. Kmart's gross margin rate for the third quarter increased 50 basis points primarily driven by an increase in the apparel category due to lower promotional activity. Sears Domestic's gross margin rate declined 190 basis points for the quarter with decreases experienced in a majority of categories, most notably consumer electronics, home appliances (partially due to free delivery), tools and home.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $251 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding significant items noted in our Adjusted Earnings Per Share tables, domestic selling and administrative expenses declined $71 million primarily due to a decrease in advertising expenses.

Interest and investment income in the third quarter of 2014 included a gain of $70 million related to the de-consolidation of Sears Canada.

The Company reported an operating loss of $490 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $497 million for the prior year period.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2014 was 33.9%, primarily due to a non-cash valuation allowance established on Sears Canada's deferred income taxes prior to de-consolidation.

Financial Position

As a result of the Sears Canada rights offering, the Company no longer consolidates the results of Sears Canada as of October 16, 2014. As such, the financial position as of the third quarter 2014 does not include Sears Canada.

The Company had cash balances of $326 million at November 1, 2014 compared with $384 million (domestic only) at November 2, 2013 and $577 million (domestic only) at February 1, 2014.

Short-term borrowings totaled $2.1 billion ($1.6 billion domestic credit facility, $400 million secured short-term loan and $91 million commercial paper) at the end of the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $1.8 billion ($1.6 billion domestic credit facility and $160 million commercial paper) at the end of the third quarter of 2013 and $1.3 billion ($1.3 billion domestic credit facility and $9 million commercial paper) at February 1, 2014.

At December 3, 2014, the amount available to borrow under our credit facility was approximately $1.5 billion.

Total long-term debt (long-term debt and capital lease obligations) was $2.8 billion at November 1, 2014 and $2.9 billion at both November 2, 2013 and February 1, 2014.

Merchandise inventories at November 1, 2014 were $6.5 billion, as compared to $8.0 billion (domestic only) at November 2, 2013. Excluding inventory from the Lands' End business of approximately $464 million, domestic inventory decreased approximately $1.1 billion driven by both improved productivity and store closures.

Forward-Looking Statements

Results are unaudited. This press release contains forward-looking statements, including about our transformation through our integrated retail strategy, our plans to redeploy and reconfigure our assets, our liquidity and our ability to exercise financial flexibility as we meet our obligations and possible strategic transactions. Forward-looking statements, including these, are based on  the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the statements concerning our evaluation of strategic alternatives for our Sears Auto Centers business or with respect to the sale-leaseback/real estate investment trust transaction regarding certain owned real estate also are subject to risks and uncertainties, including our ability to enter into or complete any such transaction on acceptable terms, on intended timetables or at all, the form or terms and conditions of any such transaction, and the impact of the evaluation and/or completion of any such transaction on our other businesses. There can be no assurance that any of these efforts will be successful. The following additional factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: our ability to offer merchandise and services that our customers want, including our proprietary brand products; our ability to successfully implement our integrated retail strategy to transform our business; our ability to successfully manage our inventory levels; our ability to successfully implement initiatives to improve our liquidity through inventory management and other actions; competitive conditions in the retail and related services industries; worldwide economic conditions and business uncertainty, including the availability of consumer and commercial credit, changes in consumer confidence and spending, the impact of rising fuel prices, and changes in vendor relationships; vendors' lack of willingness to provide acceptable payment terms or otherwise restricting financing to purchase inventory or services; possible limits on our access to our domestic credit facility, which is subject to a borrowing base limitation and a springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, capital markets and other financing sources, including additional second lien financings, with respect to which we do not have commitments from lenders; our ability to successfully achieve our plans to generate liquidity through potential transactions or otherwise; potential liabilities in connection with the separation of Lands' end, Inc. and disposition of a portion of our ownership interest in Sears Canada, Inc.; our extensive reliance on computer systems, including legacy systems, to implement our integrated retail strategy, process transactions, summarize results, maintain customer, member, associate and Company data, and otherwise manage our business, which may be subject to disruptions or security breaches; the impact of seasonal buying patterns, including seasonal fluctuations due to weather conditions, which are difficult to forecast with certainty; our dependence on sources outside the United States for significant amounts of our merchandise; our reliance on third parties to provide us with services in connection with the administration of certain aspects of our business and the transfer of significant internal historical knowledge to such parties; impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets or fixed-asset impairment for long-lived assets; our ability to attract, motivate and retain key executives and other associates; our ability to protect or preserve the image of our brands; the outcome of pending and/or future legal proceedings, including product liability and qui tam claims and proceedings with respect to which the parties have reached a preliminary settlement; the timing and amount of required pension plan funding; and other risks, uncertainties and factors discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While we believe that our forecasts and assumptions are reasonable, we caution that actual results may differ materially.  We intend the forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time made and do not undertake to update or revise them as more information becomes available, except as required by law.

1We believe that our use of Adjusted EBITDA, Domestic Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS provides an appropriate measure for investors to use in assessing our performance across periods, given that these measures provide adjustments for certain significant items which may vary significantly from period to period, improving the comparability of year-to-year results and is therefore representative of our ongoing performance. Therefore, we have adjusted our results for them to make our statements more useful and comparable. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you, solely use Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance.
