Hooker Furniture Reports Double-Digit Sales, Income Gains for Fiscal Year, Fourth Quarter
MARTINSVILLE, Va., April 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hooker Furniture Corporation (NASDAQ-GS: HOFT) today reported consolidated net sales of $683.5 million and net income of $39.9 million, or $3.38 per diluted share, for its 2019 fiscal year ended February 3, 2019. Net sales increased 10.1%, or $62.9 million, compared to last year, and net income increased 41.1%, or $11.6 million. Earnings per diluted share increased 40% from $2.42 a year ago.
“Hooker Furniture performed extremely well during the year, growing sales and improving profitability in all segments, and increasing sales in 9 of our 11 business units and profits in 7 of them,” said Paul B. Toms Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. “Our robust results were achieved despite challenges including an unexpected 10% tariff on finished goods and component parts from China implemented this fall, and management transitions in the Home Meridian segment and several business units.”
Toms added, “We believe our solid performance validates our strategy to diversify our corporate portfolio around winning products, price points and distribution channels, while keeping a strong presence in traditional channels.”
The fiscal 2019 sales increase was driven by organic growth, as well as the addition of a full year of sales from Shenandoah Furniture, which was acquired in September 2017. Excluding Shenandoah’s impact, sales grew organically by approximately 6%, Toms said. Also favorably impacting sales, fiscal 2019 had 53 weeks, while fiscal 2018 and 2017 each had 52 weeks. The additional week in fiscal 2019 increased consolidated net sales by approximately $13.4 million based on the average net sales per shipping day.
“The 41% net income improvement for the year was favorably impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but we also are pleased to report a 15.9% improvement in operating income for the year, with significant increases in both the Hooker Branded segment and All Other, which includes our domestically-produced upholstery divisions and H Contract furnishings for senior living facilities,” Toms said.
The 2019 fiscal year ended on an upsurge in sales in the fourth quarter. For the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter, which began October 29, 2018 and ended February 3, 2019, consolidated net sales were $200.5 million, with net income of $14.7 million, or $1.24 per diluted share. Net sales increased $25 million, or approximately 14.2%, compared to last year’s fourth quarter, buoyed by net sales increases across both reportable segments and All Other. Net income increased 72.4% compared to the prior-year quarter.
“Home Meridian led the way in our strong fourth quarter shipments, and the additional shipping week contributed about 7% of the higher year-over-year sales for the quarter,” said Toms, adding that the 72% net income improvement was driven by higher incremental sales and lower income tax rates.
Segment Reporting: Hooker Branded
Net sales for the Hooker Branded segment increased approximately $12 million, or 7.2% in fiscal 2019, with Hooker Casegoods reporting a 6% sales increase, and Hooker Upholstery reporting a double-digit increase. “Hooker Upholstery continues to perform extremely well, due to product line extensions, dedicated management and several strong product introduction cycles,” said Jeremy Hoff, Hooker Branded President. “With the high-fashion, high-quality and high-value positioning of the brand, we are excited about the momentum we see in that brand,” he added. “We’re particularly pleased to report sales and profitability growth in the Hooker Casegoods division, a traditionally profitable but slower-growing part of our business. We attribute the growth to reenergized leadership, and an expanded team of merchandising and product development managers who are developing exceptional new products. Fiscal 2019 also was the first full year of implementing our integrated focus at Hooker Casegoods and Upholstery on the growth channels of e-commerce, interior design, hospitality and international sales, a strategy that we feel is benefitting all segments of our business,” Hoff said.
Segment Reporting: Home Meridian
The Home Meridian segment finished fiscal 2019 with a $22.4 million, or 6.1% year-over-year revenue improvement, despite a slow start to the year due to vendor interruptions in Asia. “Our sales increase was driven by growth in the hospitality, club and e-commerce distribution channels,” said Lee Boone, co-president, pointing to “top-line improvements at upholstery division PRI, Accentrics Home, our e-commerce dedicated division, and Samuel Lawrence Hospitality, our hospitality division. All three of these divisions are engaging in fast-growing channels of distribution in the market place.
“While we are pleased with our revenue increases, fiscal 2019 profitability was below expectation as a result of quality costs incurred,” Boone continued. “Additionally, because most of Home Meridian’s sales are shipped from our Asian manufacturing partners directly to our retailers via container, rather than stocked in our US warehouses, Home Meridian was not able to build inventory levels before the 10% tariff on Chinese finished furniture and component parts became effective. Increased product costs resulting from the tariff, and an unfavorable customer mix negatively impacted the Home Meridian segment’s gross margin. We have implemented counter-measures to address the quality issues and we are optimistic about better results going forward.”
For the fourth quarter, Home Meridian sales were up over 17%, and operating income was up over 22% over the comparable period in the prior year and it finished fiscal 2019 with orders up 9% and backlog up 3% over the previous year.
Segment Reporting: All Other
All Other increased net sales $28.6 million, or 32.3%, primarily due to the inclusion of Shenandoah’s full year sales, and to a lesser extent due to steady sales growth at Bradington-Young and H Contract. In fiscal 2019, Bradington-Young orders and net sales increased by 7.2% and 8.2%, respectively, due to increased demand for its luxury motion upholstery. H Contract continued to grow with orders up over 12% for the year and backlog up 73% compared to prior year end as of the end of fiscal 2019. These increases were partially offset by decreased sales at Sam Moore. Sam Moore management implemented cost reductions and more tightly controlled operating expenses, which yielded increased operating margins for the year.
Cash, Debt and Inventory
“As the parts of our business serviced by finished goods inventory have grown, our inventories have grown accordingly to ensure we are in-stock on bestsellers and in position to deliver in a timely manner to our customers,” Toms said. “In the Hooker Casegoods and Upholstery divisions, we intentionally increased inventories ahead of the 10% Chinese tariffs going into effect, and in anticipation of possible higher tariffs this year, which thankfully have not occurred.”
The Company finished fiscal 2019 with $11.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $35.5 million in acquisition-related debt. “We are very pleased with our year-end liquidity, especially given the nearly $18 million in principal payments on our terms loans made during the year, $6.7 million in dividends paid to our shareholders and the $3 million contribution to Home Meridian’s legacy pension plan.” At year-end, $27.7 million was available on its $30.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $2.3 million reserved for standby letters of credit. Consolidated inventories stood at $105 million.
Outlook
“Many long-term macro-economic indicators are positive,” Toms said. “Especially encouraging are developments in the housing market, including more affordable mortgage rates, a near-record level of home remodeling activity, and the highest rate of homeownership in five years. However, we have seen a softening of demand and retail activity in the first two months of fiscal 2020,” Toms added. “For the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter, incoming orders were essentially flat, but in February and March, incoming orders were down 13.6% on a consolidated basis, with backlogs down 16.1% similarly deflated versus the same period in the prior year. Based on industry dynamics and the macro-economic outlook for the year, we expect these are short-term headwinds and remain confident in our business model and strategies and our strategic execution. We believe our diversified business model allows us to perform well through economic fluctuations, and we are making the investments needed in products, programs, systems and people to continue to perform at a high level.”
