COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Lots, Inc. (NYSE: BIG) today reported income from continuing operations of $81.0 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 ended February 1, 2014. Excluding a deferred tax benefit of $0.41 per diluted share associated with the loss on our investment in our Canadian operations, adjusted income from continuing operations totaled $57.1 million, or $0.98 per diluted share (see non-GAAP table included later in this release). This compares to guidance issued on December 5, 2013 which called for net income from continuing operations of $0.65 to $0.90 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Income from continuing operations was $120.1 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
- Adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations of $1.45 per diluted share (non-GAAP), compares to guidance of $1.40 to $1.55 per diluted share and last year's income from continuing U.S. operations of $2.08 per diluted share (non-GAAP)
- Wind down of Canadian operations remains on schedule and closure activity resulted in a lower loss than originally anticipated
Fourth Quarter Results
U.S. Operations
Net sales for continuing U.S. operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 7.3% to $1,571.9 million, compared to $1,696.0 million for the fourth quarter last year. Comparable store sales for U.S. stores open at least fifteen months decreased 3.0% for the quarter, which is consistent with our previously communicated guidance. Excluding the deferred tax benefit associated with the loss on our investment in Canadian operations, adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations totaled $84.1 million, or $1.45 per diluted share (non-GAAP), which compares to our guidance of $1.40 to $1.55 per diluted share, and income from continuing U.S. operations of $119.9 million, or $2.08 per diluted share (non-GAAP), for the same period of fiscal 2012. As a reminder, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 had 13 weeks compared to 14 weeks in the fourth quarter last year. We estimate the impact of the extra week last year was approximately $0.05 per diluted share. Also, as anticipated, our wholesale operations closed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and are now reported as discontinued operations.
Canadian Operations
Net loss for Canadian operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled $27.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share (non-GAAP), which compares to our guidance of a net loss of $0.65 to $0.75 per diluted share. The favorable result in the fourth quarter resulted from the higher sell-through of merchandise at better margins, lower operating expenses, and the timing of recognition of lease liability charges and certain asset write downs.
Inventory and Cash Management
On a consolidated basis, Inventory ended the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 at $915 million, compared to $918 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The change in inventory was driven by the liquidation of inventory in Canada associated with store closings, partially offset by an increase in per store inventory in our U.S. stores.
We ended fiscal 2013 with $69 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents and $77 million of borrowings under our credit facility compared to $61 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents and $171 million of borrowings under our credit facility as of the end of fiscal 2012. Our use of cash generated by our U.S. operations during fiscal 2013 was focused on repaying debt.
FISCAL 2013
For the full year of fiscal 2013, consolidated income from continuing operations totaled $124.8 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, which compares to consolidated income from continuing operations of $177.0 million, or $2.93 per diluted share, for fiscal 2012. This year's result includes a deferred tax benefit for the loss on our investment in Canada of $23.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, and other non-recurring activity netting to $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Excluding these items, adjusted consolidated income from continuing operations for fiscal 2013 totaled $101.5 million, or $1.75 per diluted share (non-GAAP), which compares to adjusted consolidated income from continuing operations for fiscal 2012 of $180.4 million, or $2.98 per diluted share (non-GAAP).

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On March 4, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program ("2014 share repurchase program") providing for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common shares. The $125 million authorization is expected to be utilized to repurchase shares in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. Common shares acquired through the 2014 share repurchase program will be available to meet obligations under equity compensation plans and for general corporate purposes. The 2014 share repurchase program is eligible to begin on March 11, 2014 and will continue until exhausted.
2014 GUIDANCE
- Forecasting fiscal 2014 income from continuing U.S. operations to be $2.25 to $2.45 per diluted share (non-GAAP), compared to fiscal 2013 adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations of $2.45 per diluted share (non-GAAP)
- Forecasting U.S. comparable store sales in the range of flat to +2% for fiscal 2014
- Forecasting cash flow from continuing U.S. operations of $165 million and consolidated cash flow of approximately $140 million after the impact of the wind down of our Canadian discontinued operations
U.S. Operations
We estimate fiscal 2014 income from continuing U.S. operations will be in the range of $2.25 to $2.45 per diluted share (non-GAAP), compared to adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations of $2.45 per diluted share (non-GAAP) for fiscal 2013. This guidance is based on U.S. comparable store sales in a range of flat to up 2% and total U.S. sales in the range of flat to slightly down. From a real estate perspective, we expect to open 30 new stores and close 50 existing locations in the U.S. during fiscal 2014. We estimate this financial performance will result in cash flow (defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash used in investing activities) of approximately $165 million.
Fiscal Q1 2014 Guidance
For the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we estimate income from continuing U.S. operations in the range of $0.40 to $0.45 per diluted share (non-GAAP), compared to last year's adjusted income from continuing U.S. operations of $0.70 per diluted share (non-GAAP). This guidance assumes U.S. comparable store sales are in a range of slightly positive to slightly negative.
Discontinued Canadian Operations
With the closure of all Canadian stores by the end of February 2014, we will report our former Canadian business as discontinued operations beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We estimate a first quarter loss from our discontinued Canadian operations in the range of $37 to $41 million, or $0.64 to $0.71 per diluted share, as we continue our wind down efforts. This estimate includes charges related to lease liabilities, severance and asset impairment. We estimate approximately $25 million of cash outflow to satisfy our obligations could occur as early as first quarter of fiscal 2014.

The above adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling and administrative expenses, adjusted operating profit, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted effective income tax rate are "non-GAAP financial measures" as that term is defined by Rule 101 of Regulation G (17 CFR Part 244) and Item 10 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR Part 229). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") the impact of a U.S. tax benefit associated with the wind down of the operations of our Canadian segment of $23,899.

The above adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling and administrative expenses, adjusted operating profit, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted effective income tax rate are "non-GAAP financial measures" as that term is defined by Rule 101 of Regulation G (17 CFR Part 244) and Item 10 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR Part 229). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") a pretax charge for a change in an accounting principle associated with our implementation of new inventory management information systems of $5,574 ($3,388, net of tax).
Our management believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because the non-GAAP financial measures present an alternative method for measuring our operating performance, excluding special items included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, that management believes is more indicative of our on-going operating results and financial condition. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating performance.
