Albertsons Companies, Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

Albertsons Companies, Inc. (NYSE: ACI) (the "Company") today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended June 17, 2023.

First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Highlights

  • Identical sales increased 4.9%
  • Digital sales increased 22%
  • Loyalty members increased 16% to 35.9 million
  • Net income of $417 million, or $0.72 per share
  • Adjusted net income of $546 million, or $0.93 per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $1,319 million

Vivek Sankaran, CEO commented, "Our first quarter results demonstrate the resilience of our business, and the effectiveness of our Customers for Life transformation strategy, even as the economic environment has become more challenging. We want to thank all our teams for their commitment to our customers and communities."

Mr. Sankaran continued, "As we look ahead to the balance of the year, we remain focused on driving operational excellence in our stores and continued growth in our digital and pharmacy operations. We will also continue to drive the initiatives supporting our Customers for Life strategy, including delivering on our customer promises, deepening our relationships with them, and serving them where, when and how they want to be served."

Mr. Sankaran concluded, "We are also mindful of the evolving economic backdrop, including slowing food inflation, declining government assistance and higher interest rates, and their potential effects on consumer spending and our business. We also expect to see ongoing labor investment, broad inflationary cost increases and significant declines in COVID-19 vaccination and test kit revenue. These headwinds, however, are expected to be partially offset by the benefits of our productivity initiatives."

First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Results

Net sales and other revenue was $24.1 billion during the 16 weeks ended June 17, 2023 ("first quarter of fiscal 2023") compared to $23.3 billion during the 16 weeks ended June 18, 2022 ("first quarter of fiscal 2022"). The increase was driven by the Company's 4.9% increase in identical sales, with retail price inflation across most categories, growth in pharmacy and increasing digital penetration contributing to the identical sales increase. The increase in Net sales and other revenue was partially offset by lower fuel sales.

Gross margin rate decreased to 27.7% during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 28.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding the impact of fuel and LIFO expense, gross margin rate decreased 91 basis points compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Pharmacy operations drove almost half of the rate decrease with the remaining decrease being the result of increases in shrink, picking and delivery costs related to the continued growth in digital sales, and warehouse costs. The rate decrease related to pharmacy operations was primarily due to growth in pharmacy sales and fewer COVID-19 vaccines in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. In addition, benefits from our productivity initiatives allowed us to provide incremental price investments to our customers during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 25.0% of Net sales and other revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 25.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding the impact of fuel, Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales and other revenue decreased 53 basis points. The decrease in Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales and other revenue was primarily attributable to sales leverage on employee costs, which includes the benefit of ongoing productivity initiatives, lower depreciation and amortization and lower legal and regulatory accruals and settlements, partially offset by Merger-related costs.

Net loss on property dispositions and impairment losses was $27.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a net gain of $79.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Interest expense, net was $154.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $138.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Other income, net was $16.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to other income, net of $6.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Income tax expense was $66.1 million, representing a 13.7% effective tax rate, during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $143.3 million, representing a 22.8% effective tax rate, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The favorability in the effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was driven by the reduction of a reserve for an uncertain tax position due to the expiration of a statute during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net income was $417.2 million, or $0.72 per share, during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which included the $49.7 million or $0.09 per share benefit related to the reduction in the reserve for an uncertain tax position. Net income was $484.2 million, or $0.84 per share, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted net income was $545.7 million, or $0.93 per share (which includes the tax benefit discussed above), during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $582.0 million, or $1.00 per share, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1,318.5 million, or 5.5% of Net sales and other revenue, during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $1,420.3 million, or 6.1% of Net sales and other revenue, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to fewer COVID-19 vaccinations and a decrease in gross margin rate compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. We expect a continued decline in providing COVID-19 vaccinations and at-home test kits, resulting in an approximate $130 million headwind to Adjusted EBITDA for the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2023.

Capital Expenditures

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, capital expenditures were $622.5 million, which primarily included the completion of 43 remodels, the opening of two new stores and continued investment in our digital and technology platforms.

Merger Agreement

On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with The Kroger Company ("Kroger") and Kettle Merger Sub, Inc. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Kroger (through Kettle Merger Sub, Inc.) will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock for total consideration of $34.10 per share, subject to certain reductions including a special cash dividend of $6.85 per share paid on January 20, 2023 (the "Merger"). Details regarding the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement can be found in the Form 8-K filed on October 14, 2022 and the joint press release issued by the Company and Kroger on October 14, 2022.

Convertible Preferred Stock

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, certain holders of the Company's convertible preferred stock converted approximately 50,000 shares of convertible preferred stock into 2,903,200 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. As a result, the Company has issued in the aggregate, 101,611,902 shares of Class A common stock to holders of convertible preferred stock, representing 100% of the originally issued convertible preferred stock. No shares of convertible preferred stock are outstanding.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements and risk factors. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect our view only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In evaluating our financial results and forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties more fully described in the "Risk Factors" section or other sections in our reports filed with the SEC including the most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C with respect to the approval of the Merger and has mailed the definitive information statement to the Company's stockholders.

Non-GAAP Measures and Identical Sales

Non-GAAP Measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per Class A common share and Net debt ratio (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are performance measures that provide supplemental information the Company believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate its ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, gross margin, and net income per Class A common share. These Non-GAAP Measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing the Company's ongoing core operating performance, and thereby provide useful measures to analysts and investors of its operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and provide for different adjustments, and comparability to the Company's results of operations may be impacted by such differences. The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA and Net debt ratio for board of director and bank compliance reporting. The Company's presentation of Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Identical Sales. As used in this earnings release, the term "identical sales" includes stores operating during the same period in both the current fiscal year and the prior fiscal year, comparing sales on a daily basis. Direct to consumer digital sales are included in identical sales, and fuel sales are excluded from identical sales.
