Hooker Furniture Reports Higher Sales, Income and Increased Dividend
MARTINSVILLE, Va., Dec. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hooker Furniture (NASDAQ:HOFT) today reported consolidated net sales of $157.9 million and net income of $7.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for its fiscal 2018 third quarter ended October 29, 2017.
Consolidated net sales increased $12.6 million, or 8.7%, from the comparable prior year quarter. Net income increased $743,000, or 11.5%. Earnings per diluted share increased 8.9% from $0.56 in the comparable prior year quarter.
For the fiscal 2018 first nine months, consolidated net sales were $445.1 million, with net income of $19.7 million, or $1.69 per diluted share. Net sales increased $41.8 million, or 10.4%, compared to last year’s first nine months, and net income increased 37.9%. Earnings per diluted share increased 37.4% from $1.23 in the prior year first nine months.
“As expected, based on second-quarter order trends and backlogs entering the third quarter, we are pleased to report a sales increase of nearly 9%, with sales growth across all but one reportable segment,” said Paul B. Toms Jr., chairman and chief executive officer.
The consolidated sales gain was driven by higher shipments at the Home Meridian segment, which reported a 7% sales increase for the quarter, and in the Upholstery Segment, which had an approximate $7 million or 36% sales increase, including $3 million of revenues from new operating division Shenandoah Furniture for the month of October.
Hooker closed its acquisition of Valdese, N.C.-based upscale, domestically-produced upholstery maker Shenandoah Furniture on September 29, 2017. “We were excited to complete the acquisition this quarter, and expect Shenandoah to be a solid contributor in both sales and earnings,” said Toms. “While we benefited from their sales in the month of October, Shenandoah’s earnings contribution was tempered by amortization on certain Shenandoah acquisition-related intangibles recorded in the quarter.”
On the strength of higher revenues, consolidated operating income improved by $1.3 million, or 12.7% in the quarter. The improvement came despite approximately $700,000 in acquisition-related costs in the current year quarter. However, “There was a slight deterioration in operating income margin in our domestically-produced upholstery businesses due to inflation in some raw materials. Steps are underway to attempt to mitigate the impact of these factors,” Toms said.
Segment Reporting: Hooker Casegoods
While Hooker Casegoods shipments are flat for the year, with an approximate 1% decrease for the quarter and a 1% increase for the year to date, incoming orders are positive and the backlog is up 25%. With the increased backlog and orders up nearly 6% year-to-date, “we expect to see increased shipments in this segment in the fourth quarter,” Toms said. Hooker Casegoods operating income decreased 21.6% to $4.0 million or 11% of net sales from $5.1 million or 13.8% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the inclusion of approximately $700,000 of acquisition-related expenses in the quarter.
While characterizing the recent furniture market as solid for Hooker Casegoods, Toms added he believes the shipping impact of fall market introductions will not be realized until early in the next fiscal year, which begins on January 29, 2018.
Segment Reporting: Home Meridian
“Net sales for the quarter were up 7% compared to the prior year, and 13% year to date, as our core strategies continue to gain traction,” said George Revington, chief operating officer of Hooker Furniture. “Operating income also grew nicely over the prior year, up 31.5% and 79% for the quarter and year to date, respectively; attributed to higher sales and strategies we’ve implemented. Operating income was also favorably influenced by a reduction in intangible amortization. Our business with emerging channels continues to have robust sales growth, with e-commerce taking the lead by growing 45% year to date.”
“While our business has been solid, orders in the third quarter were down significantly due to an industry-wide retail slowdown in September and the timing of stock orders from large Home Meridian customers, causing our backlog to be down 15% at the end of the quarter as compared to the prior year. November orders were down in the low single digits. Consequently, our comp to last year’s record fourth quarter sales will be challenging,” Revington said.
Segment Reporting: Upholstery
Double-digit gains in both sales and operating income highlighted the robust performance of the Upholstery Segment. For the quarter, sales were up 36% on the strength of double-digit sales gains at Hooker Upholstery and high single-digit gains at Bradington-Young and Sam Moore. The addition of $3 million in revenues from Shenandoah for the month of October further boosted performance.
Operating income for the quarter was up nearly 90% in the Upholstery Segment. The increased profitability was driven by improvements at Hooker Upholstery, which has resolved the vendor quality issue that negatively impacted shipments during the prior year quarter, and by the addition of Shenandoah’s results in October.
Orders in the segment are up in the low single digits, and backlogs are down slightly due to quicker delivery times and a better in-stock position for the Hooker Upholstery imported line.
Segment Reporting: “All Other”
Although it represents a small portion of overall results, sales and profitability were up modestly at H Contract during the quarter. Unit volume decreased and average selling prices increased in the All Other Segment due to the lack of Homeware net sales during the quarter as that business completed its wind-down during the fiscal 2018 second quarter.
Cash, Debt and Inventory
“Even after paying $20 million out of cash for the Shenandoah acquisition, we believe our cash position is strong. That strong cash position, along with anticipated steady future earnings, allowed us to increase our quarterly dividend by 2 cents per share, or over 16%,” Toms said.
He added that he believes Hooker is properly inventoried for current and anticipated retail business.
The Company finished the fiscal 2018 third quarter with $32.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $55.2 million in acquisition-related debt. Additionally, $28.5 million was available on its $30.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $1.5 million reserved for standby letters of credit. Consolidated inventories stood at $83.6 million.
Outlook
“The third quarter had mixed results, in that retail weakened significantly across all segments in September, partially due to the hurricanes that hit Florida and Texas,” Toms said. “In October, retail bounced back, along with incoming order trends and shipments across all segments. The October High Point Furniture Market was solid for most of our reportable segments. However, due to a later than normal Chinese New Year, more of the heavy shipping activity that normally precedes the holiday will fall in the first quarter of next year.
"The order and shipment trends for Hooker Casegoods and the Upholstery Segment should have favorable impact on sales for the fourth quarter, but the reduced backlog and orders at Home Meridian compared to the same period a year ago could negatively impact sales comparisons for the Home Meridian Segment in the fiscal fourth quarter.
"We believe the overall macro-economic environment is strong, especially housing and consumer confidence. Pending home sales recently rebounded after three straight months of declines, which we believe may be indicative of improving existing home sales. Recent data revealed new home purchases to be at their fastest pace in a decade, with a 6.2% monthly increase, marking a third consecutive monthly gain. Additionally, November consumer confidence increased for the fifth consecutive month and remains at a seventeen-year high. Along with recent record-breaking stock market performance and the macro-economic environment, we believe the strategies we have in place are working, and we expect Shenandoah to be a solid contributor going forward.”
Dividends
On December 7, 2017, the Company’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share, an increase of 16.7% or $0.02 per share, payable on December 29, 2017 to shareholders of record at December 18, 2017.
