Additional Highlights:

  • Comparable club sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 4.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Comparable club sales, excluding the impact of gasoline sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 3.4% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Comparable club sales for the first half of fiscal 2021 increased 2.2% compared to the first half of fiscal 2020. Comparable club sales, excluding the impact of gasoline sales, for the first half of fiscal 2021 decreased 4.2% compared to the first half of fiscal 2020.
  • Gross profit increased to $763.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 from $756.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, increased 30 basis points over the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Merchandise margins benefited from improved private label penetration and the mix of our general merchandise sales, partially offset by increased freight costs and price investments in inflationary categories. Gross profit decreased to $1,490.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2021 from $1,493.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, increased by approximately 50 basis points over the first half of fiscal 2020. Merchandise margins benefited from the mix of our general merchandise sales, improved private label penetration and continued execution of our category profitability improvement initiatives, partially offset by increased freight costs and price investments in inflationary categories.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to $598.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to $590.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in SG&A expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was driven by a team member recognition bonus of approximately $8.0 million. SG&A increased to $1,198.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to $1,181.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. SG&A in the first half of fiscal 2021 included $17.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of stock awards associated with the passing of Lee Delaney, $2.3 million of severance charges associated with labor reductions that resulted from the realignment of our field operations and $8.0 million associated with a team member recognition bonus.
  • Operating income increased to $163.8 million, or 3.9% of total revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $163.6 million, or 4.1% of total revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Operating income decreased to $290.0 million, or 3.6% of total revenues, in the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to $307.3 million, or 4.0% of total revenues, in the first half of fiscal 2020.
  • Interest expense, net, decreased to $16.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $20.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 included a $3.2 million release of accumulated other comprehensive income related to the July 2021 payment on the Company’s ABL Facility. Interest expense, net, decreased to $35.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to $42.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. Interest expense in the first half of fiscal 2021 included an $8.0 million release of accumulated other comprehensive income and $0.7 million expense of deferred financing costs associated with the principal prepayment on the Company's First Lien Term Loan and payment on the ABL Facility. The decrease in interest expense was driven by continued de-levering.
  • Income tax expense was $36.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to income tax expense of $36.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The second quarter of fiscal 2021 included a benefit of $3.2 million from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Income tax expense was $61.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to income tax expense of $62.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. The first half of fiscal 2021 included a benefit of $6.4 million from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation compared to $7.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2020.
  • Under our share repurchase program, we repurchased 1,054,116 shares of common stock, totaling $49.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. In the first half of fiscal 2021, we repurchased 1,369,116 shares of common stock, totaling $63.5 million, under such program.

     

Fiscal 2021 Ending January 29, 2022 Outlook

"Looking ahead, we remain confident our business will continue to thrive and that our solid membership trends, assortment initiatives, enhanced digital capabilities and robust real estate pipeline will drive sustained and strong profitable growth," said Laura Felice, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, BJ's Wholesale Club. "Given the level of uncertainty associated with the evolution of the pandemic, fiscal 2021 remains difficult to forecast. Our view of the future has improved from last quarter but we will continue to refrain from offering formal detailed guidance."

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to last twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA.

We define adjusted net income as net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: stock-based compensation related to acceleration of stock awards; severance charges and expenses related to debt payments; loss on cash flow hedge; and the tax impact of the foregoing adjustments on net income.

We define adjusted net income per diluted share as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

We define adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including: stock-based compensation expense; pre-opening expenses; non-cash rent; severance and other adjustments.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property and equipment, net of disposals, plus proceeds from sale leaseback transactions.

We define net debt as total debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents.

We define net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA as net debt at the balance sheet date divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period.

We present adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA, which are not recognized financial measures under GAAP, because we believe such measures assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes pre-opening expenses, because we do not believe these expenses are indicative of the underlying operating performance of our clubs. The amount and timing of pre-opening expenses are dependent on, among other things, the size of new clubs opened and the number of new clubs opened during any given period.

Management believes that adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA are helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance compared to other measures, which can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. We use adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies; to make budgeting decisions; and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. We also use adjusted EBITDA in connection with establishing discretionary annual incentive compensation.

We present free cash flow, which is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, because we use it to report to our Board of Directors and we believe it assists investors and analysts in evaluating our liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure. We present net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, which are not recognized as financial measures under GAAP, because we use them to report to our Board of Directors and we believe they assist investors and analysts in evaluating our borrowing capacity. Net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of the Company.

You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or like some of the adjustments in our presentation of these metrics. Our presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP and they should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA or net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be material. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries. Additionally, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
