Total Revenue of $1.024 Billion

GAAP Diluted Loss per Share $0.10; Non-GAAP Diluted EPS $0.94

Cash From Operations $412 Million Year-to-Date; Free Cash Flow $363 Million Year-to-Date

Company Provides Guidance for the Fourth Quarter of 2022

Rent-A-Center, Inc. (the "Company" or "Rent-A-Center") (NASDAQ:RCII) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

"Our third quarter results demonstrated the resilient nature of the Company, as we continued to generate considerable profits and cash flow in the face of increasingly challenging external conditions that have strained the finances and spending of our traditional customers and, thus far, limited the inflow of non-traditional customers we have seen in past cycles,” said CEO Mitch Fadel.

"In response to this environment, we are taking action to support the Company’s near-term performance by focusing on controllable factors, like underwriting, cost management, and capital allocation, while also positioning us for long-term success with investments in areas like technology and talent, such as the recent addition of Fahmi Karam as CFO," continued Mr. Fadel.

"We expect that the environment will normalize over time, and we will be ready to capitalize on opportunities and push forward with our strategic agenda. We remain confident in the Company's compelling underlying fundamentals and ability to create value for underserved consumers and our shareholders," concluded Mr. Fadel.

Third Quarter Consolidated Results

  • Third quarter 2022 consolidated revenues of $1.0 billion decreased 13.3% year-over-year, primarily due to lower rental revenue in both Acima and the Rent-A-Center Business. The decrease in rental revenue was primarily attributable to Acima's smaller lease portfolio in the current year period. Merchandise sales revenue also decreased year-over-year, with most of the decrease attributable to lower Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) for Acima in the second and third quarters of 2022. Rent-A-Center Business Segment merchandise sales revenue was also down compared to the prior year period.
  • GAAP operating profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $37.1 million compared to $67.1 million in the prior year period. GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $5.8 million and included $62.0 million of costs, net of tax, relating to special items described below, compared to $21.3 million of GAAP net income and $82.5 million of costs, net of tax, relating to special items in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2022 was $115.0 million and decreased 34.6% year-over-year primarily, due to lower revenues and higher loss rates compared to the prior year period, partially offset by lower costs in the current year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.2% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 14.9% in the prior year period, with the decrease in margin attributable to the same factors that affected Adjusted EBITDA.
  • GAAP loss per share for the third quarter of 2022 was $0.10 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.31 in the prior year period. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which excludes the impact of special items described below, for the third quarter of 2022 was $0.94 compared to $1.52 in the prior year period.
  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated $412.1 million of cash from operations and ended the third quarter with $165.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, $1.4 billion of debt outstanding, $540 million of liquidity that included $374 million of undrawn revolving credit availability, and a net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.6 times.
  • During the third quarter of 2022, the Company returned $50.7 million of cash to shareholders through a $0.34 per share quarterly dividend and share repurchases. In the third quarter and October, the Company repurchased 3.537 million shares at an average price per share of approximately $21.21.

Third Quarter Segment Highlights

Acima Segment: Third quarter 2022 GMV decreased 23.0% year-over-year primarily due to a decrease in lease applications compared to the prior year period that resulted from lower durable goods demand at merchant partners, which was mainly attributable to pressure on consumer discretionary income and cycling over the impact on demand from stimulus programs in 2021. A secondary factor behind the decrease in lease applications was tighter underwriting implemented during the first half of 2022 to address changes in customer payment behavior.

Third quarter revenues of $504.4 million decreased 19.1% year-over-year, on lower rental and fees revenues and lower merchandise sales revenue. The decrease in rental and fees revenues was primarily due to fewer open lease agreements during the current year period for the same reasons as described above, and increased delinquencies for the current year period resulting in lower accrued revenue. The decrease in merchandise sales revenues was primarily attributable to year-over-year decreases in GMV in the second and third quarters of 2022.

Skip/stolen losses were 9.0% of revenue in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 8.7% on an adjusted basis in the prior year period and 11.6% in the second quarter of 2022. On a GAAP basis, segment operating profit was $48.9 million with an operating profit margin of 9.7% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $51.9 million and 8.3% in the third quarter of 2021 and $35.8 million and 6.8% in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was $63.6 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.6% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $86.5 million and 13.9% in the third quarter of 2021 and $53.0 million and 10.0% in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from the prior year period was primarily attributable to lower revenues as a result of lower GMV over the past two quarters of 2022.

Rent-A-Center Business Segment: Third quarter 2022 revenues of $473.8 million decreased 5.4% year-over-year on a 5.3% decrease in same-store sales that was primarily attributable to lower rental and fee revenues. On a two-year stacked basis, same-store-sales were up 7.0%. The decrease in rental and fee revenues in the third quarter was primarily attributable to a lower percentage of payments collected and a lower lease portfolio value compared to the prior year period. Merchandise sales revenue also decreased year-over-year primarily due to fewer customers electing early payout options. At the end of the third quarter, the segment lease portfolio value was 1.7% lower than the prior year period. E-commerce accounted for approximately 23% of revenue in our lease-to-own stores in the third quarter, compared to approximately 21% in the prior year period.

Skip/stolen losses were 5.8% of revenue in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 3.4% in the prior year period and 4.2% in the second quarter of 2022. On a GAAP basis, segment operating profit in the quarter was $72.0 million with an operating profit margin of 15.2%, compared to $109.3 million and 21.8% in the third quarter of 2021 and $99.1 million and 20.2% in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $77.0 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.2%, compared to $114.6 million and 22.9% in the third quarter of 2021 and $104.1 million and 21.2% in the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decline in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to increased loss rates and lower revenues, both of which are attributable to pressure on customers' discretionary income. On September 30, 2022, the Rent-A-Center Business segment had 1,848 company-operated locations.

Franchising Segment: Third quarter 2022 revenues of $29.7 million decreased 27.4% year-over-year due to lower inventory purchases per store. Segment operating profit, on a GAAP basis, and Adjusted EBITDA were $5.1 million in the third quarter and increased $0.3 million year-over-year. On September 30, 2022, there were 452 franchise-operated locations.

Mexico Segment: Third quarter 2022 revenues of $16.0 million increased 1.9% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Segment operating profit, on a GAAP basis, and Adjusted EBITDA were $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. In the third quarter, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.2 million year-over-year, primarily due to an increased loss rate compared to the prior year period. On September 30, 2022, the Mexico business had 125 company-operated locations.

Corporate Segment: Third quarter 2022 non-GAAP basis expenses decreased $3.5 million year-over-year or 7.6%, reflecting lower incentive compensation versus the prior year period. Sequentially, non-GAAP expenses decreased $4.6 million.

Key Operating Metrics

Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV): The Company defines Gross Merchandise Volume as the retail value in U.S. dollars of merchandise acquired by the Company that is leased to customers through a transaction that occurs within a defined period, net of cancellations.

Same Store Sales (SSS): Same store sales generally represents revenue earned in stores that were operated by us for 13 months or more and are reported on a constant currency basis as a percentage of total revenue earned in stores of the segment during the indicated period. The Company excludes from the same store sales base any store that receives a certain level of customer accounts from closed stores or acquisitions. The receiving store will be eligible for inclusion in the same store sales base in the 30th full month following account transfer.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Guidance

The Company is providing the following guidance for the fourth quarter of 2022:

Table 2

 

 

Guidance

 

Fourth Quarter

2022

Consolidated (1)

 

 

Revenues ($'s billion)

 

$0.975 - $1.025

Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Stock Based Compensation (2) ($'s million)

 

$95.0 - $110.0

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (2)(3)

 

$0.65 - $0.85

(1) Consolidated includes Acima, Rent-A-Center Business, Franchising, Mexico and Corporate Segments.

(2) Non-GAAP financial measure. See descriptions below in this release. Because of the inherent uncertainty related to the special items identified in the tables below, management does not believe it is able to provide a meaningful forecast of the comparable GAAP measures or reconciliation to any forecasted GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Adjusted EBITDA figures exclude stock based compensation beginning with the first quarter of 2022.

(3) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of incremental depreciation and amortization related to the estimated fair value of acquired Acima assets, stock compensation expense associated with the Acima Acquisition equity consideration subject to vesting conditions, and one-time transaction and integration costs related to the Acima Acquisition. Guidance excludes the impact of future share repurchases.

Additional Commentary on the Fourth Quarter 2022 Outlook

  • Fourth quarter guidance assumes no material change in the macro economic conditions that existed at the end of the third quarter of 2022
  • The Company has modified its definition of Adjusted EBITDA beginning with first quarter 2022 results to exclude stock-based compensation. Therefore, fourth quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance excludes the impact of stock-based compensation. For comparability purposes, within the remainder of this press release, 2021 Adjusted EBITDA has also been adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release and the Company's related conference call contain certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), including (1) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (net loss, as adjusted for special items (as defined below), net of taxes, divided by the number of shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis), (2) Adjusted EBITDA (net earnings before interest, taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for special items) on a consolidated and segment basis and (3) Free Cash Flow (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). “Special items” refers to certain gains and charges we view as extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring in nature and which we believe do not reflect our core business activities. For the periods presented herein, these special items are described in the quantitative reconciliation tables included below in this release. Because of the inherent uncertainty related to the special items, management does not believe it is able to provide a meaningful forecast of the comparable GAAP measures or reconciliation to any forecasted GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

These non-GAAP measures are additional tools intended to assist our management in comparing our performance on a more consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. These measures are intended to assist management in evaluating operating performance and liquidity, comparing performance and liquidity across periods, planning and forecasting future business operations, helping determine levels of operating and capital investments and identifying and assessing additional trends potentially impacting our Company that may not be shown solely by comparisons of GAAP measures. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is also used as part of our incentive compensation program for our executive officers and others.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures also provide supplemental information that is useful to investors, analysts and other external users of our consolidated financial statements in understanding our financial results and evaluating our performance and liquidity from period to period. However, non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and are not substitutes for or superior to, and they should be read together with, our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare such measures to the non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, even if they have the same or similar names.

Reconciliation of net earnings to net earnings excluding special items and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share:
