Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. Reports Results For Fiscal 2018 First Quarter

-- Company Remains On Track with Fiscal 2018 Modeling Assumptions and 3-Year Financial Goals
-- Net Earnings Per Diluted Share of $.32
-- Net Sales Increased Approximately 0.4%; Comparable Sales Declined Approximately 0.6%
-- Board of Directors Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.16 Per Share

 
[27-June-2018]
 

UNION, N.J., June 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBY) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 ended June 2, 2018.

Fiscal 2018 First Quarter Results

For the fiscal 2018 first quarter, the Company reported net earnings of $.32 per diluted share ($43.6 million), which included the following: an unfavorable impact of approximately $0.06 from severance costs incurred in the first quarter, which was not included in the Company's fiscal 2018 modeling assumptions; and a favorable impact of approximately $0.05 from the adoption of the new accounting standard, FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was anticipated and included in the full-year modeling assumptions.  Net earnings for the fiscal 2017 first quarter were $.53 per diluted share ($75.3 million).

Net sales for the fiscal 2018 first quarter were approximately $2.8 billion, an increase of approximately 0.4% from the prior year quarter.  Comparable sales in the fiscal 2018 first quarter decreased by approximately 0.6%, and included strong sales growth from the Company's customer-facing digital channels, and sales from stores that declined in the mid-single-digit percentage range.

Capital Allocation

The Company's Board of Directors today declared a quarterly dividend of $.16 per share payable on October 16, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 14, 2018.

During the fiscal 2018 first quarter, the Company repurchased approximately $22 million of its common stock, representing approximately 1.2 million shares, under its existing $2.5 billion share repurchase program.  As of June 2, 2018, the program had a remaining balance of approximately $1.5 billion.

The Company ended the fiscal 2018 first quarter with $847 million in cash and investment balances, an increase of approximately $281 million, compared with approximately $565 million at the end of the fiscal 2017 first quarter.

Fiscal 2018

During the conference call with analysts and investors, the Company plans to review its quarterly results and its financial planning assumptions for fiscal 2018.

The Company's planning assumptions reflect actual results through the fiscal first quarter and the current trends the Company has been experiencing.  Based on its planning assumptions, the Company continues to model net earnings per diluted share for the full year to be in the low-to-mid $2.00 range.

The Company remains on track with its three-year financial goals that comprise its vision for 2020 which include:  to achieve comparable sales growth beginning in fiscal 2018; to achieve moderating declines in  operating profit and net earnings per diluted share in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019; and to achieve growth in net earnings per diluted share by fiscal 2020.
