MONTREAL, July 3, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Birks Group Inc. (the "Company" or "Birks Group") (NYSE American: BGI), today reported its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 ("fiscal 2018"). During this period, the Company announced the sale of its subsidiary, Mayor's Jewelers, Inc. ("Mayors"), which was completed on October 23, 2017 for total cash consideration of $106.8 million (net of closing adjustments), which resulted in a net gain of $29.9 million for the Company. As a result of the sale of Mayors, the Company is presenting Mayors' results as a discontinued operation in its financial statements for the current and comparable prior periods.

The Company reported a net income of $11.7 million, or $0.65 per share, for fiscal 2018, comprised of a net loss from continuing operations of $16.8 million, or $0.93 per share and a net income from discontinued operations of $28.5 million (that included a gain on disposal of Mayors of $29.9 million), or  $1.58 per share, compared to a net income of $4.9 million, or $0.27 per share for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2017 ("fiscal 2017"), comprised of a net loss from continuing operations of $7.1 million, or $0.39 per share and a net income from discontinued operations of $12.0 million, or $0.66 per share.

Jean-Christophe Bédos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Birks Group, commented: "Our fiscal 2018 results are reflective of the major transformative changes undertaken by the Company during the fiscal year, most notably the sale of Mayors, which enabled us to substantially reduce our debt and strengthen our balance sheet.  This allowed us to better position the Company for long-term growth and the creation of shareholder value. Other transformative changes that took place in fiscal 2018 include the on-going implementation of our new ERP system (Microsoft D365) and the renovation of our Toronto and Montreal flagship stores which led to temporary business interruptions at both locations. This fiscal year's results have also been impacted by the various challenges that the Company faced in 2017, such as relatively softer retail conditions during the holiday period.  On a positive note, the Montreal flagship store re-opened on June 11, 2018 and currently features some of the most reputable watch and jewelry brands in the world, alongside Birks jewelry and bridal collections, setting a high standard for luxury shopping in North America."

Mr. Bédos added: "We have now turned our full attention to the execution of our 5-year strategic plan, which focuses largely on the five following initiatives:

  • offering our customers a complete omni-channel experience supported by the implementation of our new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system;
  • enhancing our retail store offering through the renovations of our three flagship locations in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver;
  • expanding our e-commerce and wholesale channels through pointed strategic investments; and
  • renewing our bridal and fine jewelry product offerings accentuating quality, design and accessible price points and;
  • most importantly, developing the Birks product to position it as an international brand.

We believe the execution of our strategic initiatives has put the Company on a clear path to long-term growth and value creation."

The newly renovated Montreal flagship store is in line with the Company's latest store concept which will also be reflected in the new Toronto and Vancouver flagship designs. It offers a fresh take on Birks' legacy and redefines the watch and jewelry shopping experience in Canada.

Through the development of the Birks product Brand, the Company has increased awareness for its brand in both Canada and at the international level. The Birks jewelry collections were launched in the U.K in September 2017 via an exclusive distribution agreement with Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths jewelers. The Company intends to increase its international presence over the next five years.

Fiscal 2018 Financial Overview

  • Net sales from continuing operations for fiscal 2018 decreased by $2.0 million to $114.4 million, compared to $116.4 million in fiscal 2017. The decrease in net sales was reflective of a 4% decline in comparable store sales on a constant exchange rate basis (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below) primarily driven by a softening of luxury retail conditions across Canada as well as by the fact that, as part of its strategic plan, the Company began renovations affecting two of its three flagship stores (Montreal and Toronto) that led to a temporary decline in sales volume during the construction period. When the impact of lower sales of these two flagship stores are excluded, comparable store sales increased by 1% (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below) driven by increased sales of Birks-branded products, the successful execution of targeted marketing campaigns and growth in wholesale and e-commerce sales;
  • Gross profit from continuing operations was $43.6 million, or 38.1% of net sales, during fiscal 2018, compared to $46.8 million, or 40.2% of net sales, during fiscal 2017. The gross margin rate decrease was primarily attributable to increased sales promotions as a result of the Montreal and Toronto flagship locations undergoing major renovations;
  • Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses from continuing operations, increased by $4.6 million mainly due to increased marketing and operational costs related to the Company's strategic focus on the promotion and development of the Birks product brand and the development of its wholesale channel as well as by higher professional fees incurred in relation to the Company's new strategic plan; and
  • The Company's fiscal 2018 operating loss from continuing operations was $13.7 million, an increase of $10.0 million compared to $3.7 million in fiscal 2017. Adjusted operating loss from continuing operations (see "Non-GAAP Measures" below), which excludes restructuring costs and impairment of long-lived assets was $10.8 million, an increase of $7.8 million compared to $3.0 million in fiscal 2017 (excluding restructuring costs).

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports information in accordance with U.S Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S GAAP"). The Company's performance is monitored and evaluated using various sales and earnings measures that are adjusted to include or exclude amounts from the most directly comparable GAAP measure ("non-GAAP measures"). The Company presents such non-GAAP measures in reporting its financial results to investors and other external stakeholders to provide them with useful complimentary information which will allow them to evaluate the Company's operating results using the same financial measures and metrics used by the Company in evaluating performance. The Company does not, nor does it suggest that investors and other external stakeholders should, consider non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Constant currency basis

The Company evaluates its sales performance using non-GAAP measures which eliminates the foreign exchange effects of translating net sales, comparable store sales and gross profit made in Canadian dollars to U.S dollars (constant currency or constant exchange rate basis). Net sales, comparable store sales, and gross profit on a constant exchange rate basis are calculated by taking the current period's sales and gross profit in local currency and translating them into U.S. dollars using the prior period's foreign exchange rates. The Company believes that such measures provide useful supplemental information with which to assess the Company's performance relative to the corresponding period in the prior year. The following tables reconcile the net sales, comparable store sales and gross profit increases (decreases) from GAAP to non-GAAP versus the comparable prior fiscal year period:

Adjusted operating expenses and adjusted operating income

The Company evaluates its operating earnings performance using financial measures which exclude expenses associated with operational restructuring plans, impairment losses, as well as a non-recurring gain on disposal of assets. The Company believes that such measures provide useful supplemental information with which to assess the Company's results relative to the corresponding period in the prior year and can result in a more meaningful comparison of the Company's performance between the periods presented. The table below provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated with GAAP.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains certain "forward-looking" statements concerning the Company's performance and strategies, including that the sale of Mayors, enabled the Company to substantially reduce its debt and strengthen its balance sheet and allowed the Company to better position itself for long-term growth and shareholder value; that the Company's latest store concept will be reflected in the Toronto and Vancouver flagship designs; that the Toronto store renovations are expected to be finalized at the end of fiscal 2019; that the Company's execution of its strategic initiatives has put the Company on a clear path to long-term growth and value creation; and that the Company intends to increase its international presence over the next five years.
