Hubert Joly, Best Buy president and CEO, commented, “In the second quarter, we delivered $8.9 billion in revenue and $0.44 in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share versus $0.32 last year. The ongoing benefits of our Renew Blue cost reduction and other SG&A cost containment initiatives drove these better-than-expected results. On the topline, as expected, sales in the NPD tracked Consumer Electronics categories declined 2.5%4, in line with our Domestic comparable sales decline of 2.0%.”
Joly continued, “Like other retailers and as reflected in this quarter’s performance, we continued to see a shift in consumer behavior: consumers are increasingly researching and buying online. As a result, traffic to our brick and mortar stores continued to decline, yet our in-store conversion and online traffic continued to increase due to the execution of our Renew Blue strategy which is in direct alignment with this shift. Our Renew Blue strategy is designed to (1) grow our online business; (2) enhance our in-store customer experience; and (3) leverage our multi-channel capabilities; all to deliver to our customers great advice, service and convenience at competitive prices in the channel they want to be served.
During the quarter, we continued to make progress against this strategy, including (1) increasing our Net Promoter Score across channels by 400 basis points year-over-year; (2) improving our in-store experience by rolling out over 800 new Samsung and Sony home theater, 18 Pacific Kitchen and Home and 7 Magnolia Design Center stores-within-a-store; and (3) leveraging our new ship-from-store and digital marketing capabilities to drive a 22% increase in Domestic comparable online sales.”
Joly concluded, “Looking ahead, our goal is to continue to create a differentiated multi-channel customer experience such that every interaction customers have with us, regardless of channel, makes them a promoter of the Best Buy brand. In support of this, we will be intensifying our investments in customer-facing initiatives across both channels in the back half of the year.”
Sharon McCollam, Best Buy EVP, CAO and CFO, commented, “As Hubert remarked, industry-wide sales are continuing to decline in many of the consumer electronics categories in which we compete. We are also seeing ongoing softness in the mobile phone category ahead of highly-anticipated new product launches. Therefore, absent any change in these declining industry trends and with limited visibility to new product launch quantities, we continue to expect comparable sales to decline in the low-single digits in both the third and fourth quarters. From an operating income rate perspective, we are expecting the following business drivers versus last year in the third and fourth quarters: (1) a similar promotional competitive environment, with better internal promotional effectiveness; (2) a greater mix of online revenue that will put pressure on the overall operating income rate due to a higher mix of lower-margin hardware sales and lower attach rates on services and accessories; (3) continued industry softness and higher promotionality in Canada and China; and (4) a net positive impact from our Renew Blue SG&A and COGS expense reductions which will more than offset our structural pricing investments, the remaining negative impact of our new credit card agreement, and the new incremental investment of $10 to $15 million in Q3 and $30 to $35 million in Q4 versus our original plan to intensify the investments in customer-facing initiatives that Hubert just referenced (a total of $40 to $50 million or $.07 to $0.09 per diluted share in the second half of FY15). As such, and particularly in light of the fixed cost deleverage that would accompany an expected low single-digit comparable sales decline, we are expecting the non-GAAP operating income rate in Q3 and Q4 to increase in line with the year-over-year improvement that we saw in the first half. Additionally, the estimated diluted earnings per share impact of the known discrete tax items that we discussed last quarter continue to be in the ranges of ‘flat to negative $0.01’ in Q3 FY15 and ‘negative $0.09 to $0.10’ in Q4 FY15.”
Domestic Segment Second Quarter Results
Domestic Revenue
Domestic revenue of $7.59 billion declined 2.4% versus last year. This decline was primarily driven by (1) a comparable sales decline of 2.0%; and (2) a revenue decline of $20 million, or 25 basis points, due to the less favorable economics of the new credit card agreement.
Domestic online revenue was $581 million and comparable online sales increased 22.0% due to (1) substantially improved inventory availability made possible by the chain-wide rollout of our ship-from-store capability that was completed in January 2014; (2) a higher average order value; and (3) increased traffic driven by greater investment in online digital marketing.
From a merchandising perspective, growth in gaming, computing, appliances and televisions was more than offset by declines in other categories, including mobile phones, tablets, and services.
Domestic Gross Profit Rate
Domestic gross profit rate was 23.4% versus 27.3% last year. Excluding prior year legal settlements discussed in the Q2 FY14 earnings release, non-GAAP Domestic gross profit rate was 23.4% versus 23.9% last year. This 50-basis point decline was primarily due to (1) a mix shift into the lower-margin gaming and computing categories; (2) structural investments in price competitiveness, particularly in accessories; and (3) a 20-basis point negative impact related to the less favorable economics of the new credit card agreement. These declines were partially offset by (1) an increased mix of higher-margin large screen televisions and (2) the realization of our Renew Blue cost reductions and other supply chain cost containment initiatives.
Domestic Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
Domestic SG&A expenses were $1.52 billion or 20.1% of revenue versus $1.70 billion or 21.9% of revenue last year. On a non-GAAP basis, Domestic SG&A expenses were $1.51 billion or 19.9% of revenue versus $1.66 billion or 21.3% of revenue last year. This 140-basis point (or $147 million) rate decline was primarily driven by (1) the realization of Renew Blue cost reduction initiatives; and (2) tighter expense management throughout the company.
International Segment Second Quarter Results
International Revenue
International revenue of $1.31 billion declined 12.1% versus last year. This decline was primarily driven by (1) a comparable sales decline of 6.7% driven by China, Canada, and Mexico; (2) the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; and (3) the loss of revenue from large-format store closures in China.
International Gross Profit Rate
International gross profit rate was 21.1% versus 22.3% last year. This 120-basis point rate decline was primarily driven by our Canadian business due to increased promotional activity and an increased mix of the lower-margin gaming category.
International SG&A
International SG&A expenses were $291 million or 22.2% of revenue versus $334 million or 22.4% of revenue last year. On a non-GAAP basis, International SG&A expenses were $290 million or 22.1% of revenue versus $332 million or 22.3% of revenue last year. This 20-basis point (or $42 million) rate decline was primarily driven by Renew Blue cost reductions and tighter expense management in Canada, and to a lesser extent, in China.
Renew Blue Cost Reduction Initiatives Update
Since our Q1 FY15 earnings release, Renew Blue annualized cost reductions have increased an additional $40 million, bringing the total Renew Blue annualized cost reductions to $900 million ($670 million in SG&A expenses and $230 million in cost of goods sold). This $40 million in cost reductions ($25 million in SG&A and $15 million in cost of goods sold) is primarily driven by (1) efficiency improvements in the US and Canada; (2) supply chain efficiencies; and (3) lower costs associated with returns, replacements and damages.
Dividends
On July 3rd, 2014, the company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per common share outstanding, or $59 million.
Conference Call
Best Buy is scheduled to conduct an earnings conference call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (7:00 a.m. Central Time) on August 26, 2014. A webcast of the call is expected to be available at www.investors.bestbuy.comboth live and after the call.
(1) Best Buy’s comparable sales is comprised of revenue at stores, websites and call centers operating for at least 14 full months, as well as revenue related to certain other comparable sales channels. Relocated stores, as well as remodeled, expanded and downsized stores closed more than 14 days, are excluded from the comparable sales calculation until at least 14 full months after reopening. Acquisitions are included in the comparable sales calculation beginning with the first full quarter following the first anniversary of the date of the acquisition. The portion of the calculation of comparable sales attributable to the International segment excludes the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The calculation of comparable sales excludes the impact of revenue from discontinued operations. The method of calculating comparable sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, Best Buy’s method of calculating comparable sales may not be the same as other retailers’ methods. Comparable online sales are included in Best Buy’s comparable sales calculation.
(2) The company defines non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP SG&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the periods presented as its gross profit, SG&A, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for those periods calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), adjusted to exclude LCD-related legal settlements, restructuring charges, non-restructuring asset impairments, gains on sales of investments and the acceleration of a non-cash tax benefit as a result of reorganizing certain European legal entities.
These non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with an understanding of the company’s financial performance adjusted to exclude the effect of the items described above. These non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making a ready comparison of the company’s financial results for its fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2014, against the company’s results for the respective prior-year periods and against third-party estimates of the company’s financial results for those periods that may not have included the effect of such items. Additionally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as an internal measure to analyze trends, allocate resources, and analyze underlying operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures and may differ from similar measures used by other companies. Please see the table titled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this release for more detail.
(3) During Q2 FY14, the company reached legal settlements with multiple defendants regarding lawsuits filed by the company alleging antitrust violations relating to the supply of TFT-LCD panels. We recorded a net settlement amount of $229 million in Q2 FY14. The company has excluded the impact of the settlements reached during Q2 FY14 in its non-GAAP financial results to provide meaningful comparisons on a year-over-year basis. Please see the table titled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this release, as well as the company’s most recent Form 10-K, for more detail.
(4) According to The NPD Group’s Weekly Tracking Service as published August 25, 2014, revenue for the CE industry was down 2.5% during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2014 compared to the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013. The CE industry, as defined by The NPD Group, includes TVs, desktop and notebook computers, tablets not including Kindle, digital imaging and other categories. Sales of these products represent approximately 65% of our Domestic revenue. It does not include mobile phones, gaming, movies, music, appliances or services.
