PHOENIX, Aug. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leslie’s, Inc. (“Leslie’s”, “we”, “our” or “its”; NASDAQ: LESL), the largest and most trusted direct-to-consumer brand in the U.S. pool and spa care industry, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Mike Egeck, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter results fell below our expectations as a result of a highly unusual pool season for Leslie’s and the industry. Unfavorable weather, increased consumer price sensitivity and pool owners with an elevated level of chemicals left over from last year contributed to double-digit traffic declines and a 9% sales decline in the quarter. In addition, we absorbed elevated distribution costs and increased product costs which impacted our margins for the quarter.”
Mr. Egeck continued, “As our team is taking the necessary actions to work our way through these headwinds, we also continue to execute towards the long-term market opportunity. The aftermarket pool and spa care industry has proven over time to be one of the most durable and advantaged consumer products categories, and Leslie’s has a long track record of profitable growth in the industry. We remain focused on the execution of our strategic initiatives to drive long-term market share gains and shareholder returns.”
Three Months Ended July 1, 2023 Highlights
- Sales decreased $62.7 million, or 9.3%, to $610.9 million compared to $673.6 million in the prior year period. Comparable sales decreased 11.8% compared to the prior year period driven by double-digit traffic declines. Non-comparable sales including acquisitions and new stores were $16.1 million in the period.
- Gross profit decreased $52.0 million, or 17.1%, to $251.6 million compared to $303.6 million in the prior year period and gross margin was 41.2% compared to 45.1% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by product margin rate declines associated with increased product costs that could not be passed through to the consumer, elevated distribution expenses and occupancy deleverage.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $4.3 million to $135.8 million compared to $131.5 million in the prior year period, driven by non-comparable SG&A related to acquisitions and new stores and investments in our associates, partially offset by expense reduction actions.
- Operating income was $115.8 million compared to $172.1 million in the prior year period.
- Interest expense increased $10.9 million to $17.7 million compared to $6.8 million in the prior year period as a result of higher effective interest rates and increased borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

- Adjusted net income was $76.4 million compared to $125.7 million in the prior year period.

- The rate on our term loan during the third quarter of Fiscal 2023 was LIBOR plus the applicable rate, resulting in an effective interest rate of 7.61% compared to an effective interest rate of 3.02% during the third quarter of Fiscal 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures and other operating measures, including comparable sales growth and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted earnings per share, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. These non-GAAP financial measures and other operating measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures and other operating measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, and accordingly, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.
Comparable Sales Growth
We measure comparable sales growth as the increase or decrease in sales recorded by the comparable base in any reporting period, compared to sales recorded by the comparable base in the prior reporting period. The comparable base includes sales through our locations and through our e-commerce websites and third-party marketplaces. Comparable sales growth is a key measure used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest (including amortization of debt issuance costs), taxes, depreciation and amortization, management fees, equity-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment, costs related to equity offerings, strategic project costs, executive transition costs, severance, losses (gains) on asset dispositions, merger and acquisition costs, and other non-recurring, non-cash or discrete items. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other GAAP measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other companies using similar measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP but is used by some investors to determine a company’s ability to service or incur indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, and accordingly, is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indicator of a company’s operating performance in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), cash flows from operations or cash flow data, all of which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. In the future, we may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these items.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings per Share
Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings per share are additional key measures used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings per share are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other GAAP measures.
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude management fees, equity-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment, costs related to equity offerings, strategic project costs, executive transition costs, severance, losses (gains) on asset dispositions, merger and acquisition costs, and other non-recurring, non-cash, or discrete items. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Note: A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.
