Sears Holdings Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Results
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Feb. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears Holdings Corporation ("Holdings," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: SHLD) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2010 results. In summary, we reported:
-- Net income attributable to Holdings' shareholders for the fourth quarter
of $374 million ($3.43 per diluted share) in 2010 and $430 million
($3.74 per diluted share) in 2009 and for the year of $133 million
($1.19 per diluted share) in 2010 and $235 million ($1.99 per diluted
share) in 2009;
-- Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of $3.67 in
2010 and $3.69 in 2009 and for the full year of $2.07 in 2010 and $3.19
in 2009;
-- Adjusted EBITDA of $933 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and
$1.453 billion for fiscal 2010;
-- These results were within our previously announced range (see
calculation in the attached schedule "Adjusted Earnings per Share"); and
-- An increase in comparable store sales at Kmart of 2.5% in the fourth
quarter 2010 and 0.7% for fiscal 2010.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Revenues and Comparable Store Sales
Revenues decreased $103 million to $13.1 billion for the quarter ended January 29, 2011. Full year revenues decreased $717 million to $43.3 billion. The decreases were primarily due to lower comparable store sales and fewer Kmart and Sears full-line stores. The fourth quarter and full year 2010 revenues included an increase of $69 million and $433 million, respectively, due to foreign currency exchange rates.
For the quarter, domestic comparable store sales declined 1.2%, which comprises an increase at Kmart of 2.5% and a decline at Sears Domestic of 4.5%. For the year, domestic comparable store sales declined 1.6%, with an increase at Kmart of 0.7% and a decline at Sears Domestic of 3.6%. The Kmart increases in comparable store sales were driven by increases in most categories, with notable increases in the apparel, footwear, jewelry, sporting goods and toys categories, partially offset by declines in the food and consumables and pharmacy categories. Declines in sales at Sears Domestic were primarily driven by the hardlines categories, as well as apparel. Over half of the total decline in both periods occurred in consumer electronics. In contrast, Sears' footwear, jewelry, and automotive categories generated comparable store sales growth during the periods.
Operating Income
Operating income was $663 million for the quarter ended January 29, 2011 and $749 million for the quarter ended January 30, 2010. Operating income decreased $86 million primarily due to a decline in gross profit dollars due to lower overall sales and a decrease of 60 basis points in margin rate. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2010 includes expenses of $55 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2009 includes expenses of $85 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance, as well as a $32 million gain recorded in connection with the settlement of Visa/MasterCard antitrust litigation.
Operating income was $474 million in 2010 and $713 million in 2009. Operating income decreased $239 million primarily due to lower gross profit dollars given lower overall sales and a decline in margin rate, partially offset by reductions in selling and administrative expenses, which includes incremental expenses of $135 million related to our continued investment in our multi-channel capabilities and the continued promotion of our Shop Your Way Rewards program. Operating income for fiscal 2010 also includes expenses of $156 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance and a gain on sale of assets of $35 million. Operating income for fiscal 2009 includes expenses of $301 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance, a $44 million gain recognized by Sears Canada on the sale of its former headquarters, and a $32 million gain recorded in connection with the settlement of Visa/MasterCard antitrust litigation. The impact these and other items had on our operating income and earnings is summarized in the attached schedule, "Adjusted Earnings per Share."
Financial Position
We had cash balances of $1.4 billion at January 29, 2011 ($960 million domestic and $430 million at Sears Canada) as compared to $1.7 billion at January 30, 2010. Commercial paper outstanding at January 29, 2011 was $360 million, as compared to $206 million at January 30, 2010. Uses of cash during fiscal 2010 included $603 million for the purchase of Sears Canada shares, repayments of long-term debt of $486 million, capital expenditures of $441 million, $394 million for share repurchases, and contributions to our pension and post-retirement benefit plans of $316 million. These uses of cash were funded in part from $1.25 billion of proceeds from our senior secured notes offering in October 2010.
Merchandise inventories at January 29, 2011 were $9.1 billion, as compared to $8.7 billion at January 30, 2010. Domestic inventory increased approximately $270 million to $8.3 billion at January 29, 2011. The increase was primarily in the Kmart apparel, electronics, toys, footwear and sporting goods categories. Sears Canada's inventory levels increased approximately $150 million to $868 million at January 29, 2011 primarily due to the change in exchange rates, lower sales and the timing of merchandise receipts.
There were no borrowings outstanding on our domestic revolver at the end of fiscal 2010, in contrast to fiscal 2009 when we had $119 million of borrowings outstanding. We had $235 million of letters of credit outstanding on the revolver at the end of the fiscal year, leaving remaining availability of $2.2 billion. We finished fiscal 2010 with total debt (consisting of short-term borrowings, long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations) of $3.5 billion, up from $2.5 billion at January 30, 2010, due primarily to the senior secured notes offering discussed above.
Share Repurchase
During the 13- and 52- week periods ended January 29, 2011, we repurchased approximately 1.2 million and 5.5 million common shares at a total cost of $77 million and $394 million, respectively, under our share repurchase program. Our repurchases for the 13- and 52- week periods ended January 29, 2011 were made at average prices of $66.35 and $71.76 per share, respectively. At January 29, 2011, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $187 million of common shares under the share repurchase program. The share repurchases may be implemented using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, the purchase of call options, the sale of put options or otherwise, or by any combination of such methods. Timing will be dependent on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors.
Adjusted EBITDA
For purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") measurement computed as net income attributable to Sears Holdings Corporation appearing on the statements of income excluding income attributable to noncontrolling interest, income tax expense, interest and investment income, other loss, interest expense, gains on sales of assets and depreciation and amortization. In addition, it further adjusts for certain significant items as set forth below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses, as well as executive compensation metrics. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items.
While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance because:
-- EBITDA excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by
eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation costs;
-- Management considers gains/losses on the sale of assets to result from
investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and
-- Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may
vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate
effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of results.
Adjusted EBITDA was determined as follows:

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Feb. 24, 2011
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Feb. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears Holdings Corporation ("Holdings," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: SHLD) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2010 results. Â In summary, we reported:
- Net income attributable to Holdings' shareholders for the fourth quarter of $374 million ($3.43 per diluted share) in 2010 and $430 million ($3.74 per diluted share) in 2009 and for the year of $133 million ($1.19 per diluted share) in 2010 and $235 million ($1.99 per diluted share) in 2009;
- Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of $3.67 in 2010 and $3.69 in 2009 and for the full year of $2.07 in 2010 and $3.19 in 2009;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $933 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $1.453 billion for fiscal 2010;
- These results were within our previously announced range (see calculation in the attached schedule "Adjusted Earnings per Share"); and
- An increase in comparable store sales at Kmart of 2.5% in the fourth quarter 2010 and 0.7% for fiscal 2010.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Revenues and Comparable Store Sales
Revenues decreased $103 million to $13.1 billion for the quarter ended January 29, 2011. Â Full year revenues decreased $717 million to $43.3 billion. Â The decreases were primarily due to lower comparable store sales and fewer Kmart and Sears full-line stores. Â The fourth quarter and full year 2010 revenues included an increase of $69 million and $433 million, respectively, due to foreign currency exchange rates.
For the quarter, domestic comparable store sales declined 1.2%, which comprises an increase at Kmart of 2.5% and a decline at Sears Domestic of 4.5%. Â For the year, domestic comparable store sales declined 1.6%, with an increase at Kmart of 0.7% and a decline at Sears Domestic of 3.6%. Â The Kmart increases in comparable store sales were driven by increases in most categories, with notable increases in the apparel, footwear, jewelry, sporting goods and toys categories, partially offset by declines in the food and consumables and pharmacy categories. Â Declines in sales at Sears Domestic were primarily driven by the hardlines categories, as well as apparel. Â Over half of the total decline in both periods occurred in consumer electronics. Â In contrast, Sears' footwear, jewelry, and automotive categories generated comparable store sales growth during the periods.
Operating Income
Operating income was $663 million for the quarter ended January 29, 2011 and $749 million for the quarter ended January 30, 2010. Â Operating income decreased $86 million primarily due to a decline in gross profit dollars due to lower overall sales and a decrease of 60 basis points in margin rate. Â Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2010 includes expenses of $55 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance. Â Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2009 includes expenses of $85 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance, as well as a $32 million gain recorded in connection with the settlement of Visa/MasterCard antitrust litigation. Â
Operating income was $474 million in 2010 and $713 million in 2009. Â Operating income decreased $239 million primarily due to lower gross profit dollars given lower overall sales and a decline in margin rate, partially offset by reductions in selling and administrative expenses, which includes incremental expenses of $135 million related to our continued investment in our multi-channel capabilities and the continued promotion of our Shop Your WayRewards program. Â Operating income for fiscal 2010 also includes expenses of $156 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance and a gain on sale of assets of $35 million. Â Operating income for fiscal 2009 includes expenses of $301 million related to domestic pension plans, store closings and severance, a $44 million gain recognized by Sears Canada on the sale of its former headquarters, and a $32 million gain recorded in connection with the settlement of Visa/MasterCard antitrust litigation. Â The impact these and other items had on our operating income and earnings is summarized in the attached schedule, "Adjusted Earnings per Share."
Financial Position
We had cash balances of $1.4 billion at January 29, 2011 ($960 million domestic and $430 million at Sears Canada) as compared to $1.7 billion at January 30, 2010. Â Commercial paper outstanding at January 29, 2011 was $360 million, as compared to $206 million at January 30, 2010. Â Uses of cash during fiscal 2010 included $603 million for the purchase of Sears Canada shares, repayments of long-term debt of $486 million, capital expenditures of $441 million, $394 million for share repurchases, and contributions to our pension and post-retirement benefit plans of $316 million. Â These uses of cash were funded in part from $1.25 billion of proceeds from our senior secured notes offering in October 2010.
Merchandise inventories at January 29, 2011 were $9.1 billion, as compared to $8.7 billion at January 30, 2010. Â Domestic inventory increased approximately $270 million to $8.3 billion at January 29, 2011. Â The increase was primarily in the Kmart apparel, electronics, toys, footwear and sporting goods categories. Â Sears Canada's inventory levels increased approximately $150 million to $868 million at January 29, 2011 primarily due to the change in exchange rates, lower sales and the timing of merchandise receipts.
There were no borrowings outstanding on our domestic revolver at the end of fiscal 2010, in contrast to fiscal 2009 when we had $119 million of borrowings outstanding. We had $235 million of letters of credit outstanding on the revolver at the end of the fiscal year, leaving remaining availability of $2.2 billion.  We finished fiscal 2010 with total debt (consisting of short-term borrowings, long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations) of $3.5 billion, up from $2.5 billion at January 30, 2010, due primarily to the senior secured notes offering discussed above.Â
Share Repurchase
During the 13- and 52- week periods ended January 29, 2011, we repurchased approximately 1.2 million and 5.5 million common shares at a total cost of $77 million and $394 million, respectively, under our share repurchase program. Â Our repurchases for the 13- and 52- week periods ended January 29, 2011 were made at average prices of $66.35 and $71.76 per share, respectively. Â At January 29, 2011, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $187 million of common shares under the share repurchase program. Â The share repurchases may be implemented using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, the purchase of call options, the sale of put options or otherwise, or by any combination of such methods. Â Timing will be dependent on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. Â Â
Adjusted EBITDA
For purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") measurement computed as net income attributable to Sears Holdings Corporation appearing on the statements of income excluding income attributable to noncontrolling interest, income tax expense, interest and investment income, other loss, interest expense, gains on sales of assets and depreciation and amortization. Â In addition, it further adjusts for certain significant items as set forth below. Â Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses, as well as executive compensation metrics. Â Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items. Â
While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance because:
- EBITDA excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation costs;
- Management considers gains/losses on the sale of assets to result from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and
- Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of results.
Adjusted EBITDA was determined as follows: | |||||||||
