GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2020--Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) today reported financial results for its fiscal year 2020 first quarter (13 weeks) ended May 1, 2020.
“These are certainly unprecedented times, and our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Todd Vasos, Dollar General’s chief executive officer. “We are very grateful for those serving on the front lines, and particularly our store associates, distribution center employees and private fleet drivers for their incredible efforts. In the midst of a very challenging operating environment, our team members have been tirelessly committed to fulfilling the Company’s mission of Serving Others, and we could not be more proud of how they have responded to the needs of our communities. As a result of their efforts, we are very pleased to report strong first-quarter financial results.”
“Looking ahead, we remain committed to our operating priorities and strategic initiatives to drive continued growth and meaningful long-term value for shareholders. As one of America’s essential retailers, we believe our unique brick-and-mortar footprint positions us well to continue delivering value and convenience for our customers, particularly at a time when they need us most.”
First Quarter 2020 Highlights
Net sales increased 27.6% to $8.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $6.6 billion in the first quarter of 2019. The net sales increase included positive sales contributions from new stores and growth in
same-store sales, modestly offset by the impact of store closures. Same-store sales increased 21.7% compared to the first quarter of 2019, driven by increases in both average transaction amount and customer traffic. Same-store sales increased
in each of the consumables, seasonal, home products and apparel categories, with the largest percentage increase in the home products category. The Company believes consumer behavior driven by COVID-19 had a significant positive effect on net
sales and same-store sales.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 30.7% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 30.2% in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 49 basis points. This gross profit rate increase was primarily attributable to a reduction in markdowns as a percentage of net sales and higher initial markups on inventory purchases; partially offset by an increase in distribution costs, which were driven by increased volume and discretionary bonus expense. As a result of the significant increase in sales, the Company believes consumer behavior driven by COVID-19 also had a significant positive effect on gross profit dollars.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of net sales were 20.5% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 22.5% in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 204 basis points. Although the Company incurred certain incremental costs related to COVID-19, they were more than offset by the significant increase in net sales discussed above. Expenses that were lower as a percentage of net sales in the current year period include occupancy costs, retail labor, utilities, depreciation and amortization, and taxes and licenses. These items were partially offset by increased incentive compensation expenses.
Operating profit for the first quarter of 2020 increased 69.2% to $866.8 million compared to $512.2 million in the first quarter of 2019.
The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2020 was 22.2% compared to 20.8% in the first quarter of 2019. This higher effective income tax rate was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax earnings in the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period while items impacting the effective rate, such as the benefits from stock-based compensation and federal tax credits, remained materially the same in amount in both the 2020 and 2019 periods.
The Company reported net income of $650 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $385 million in the first quarter of 2019. Diluted EPS increased 73.0% to $2.56 for the first quarter of 2020 compared to diluted EPS of $1.48 in the first quarter of 2019.
COVID-19 Update
To demonstrate continued appreciation for the exceptional efforts of employees, and to further safeguard the well-being of its team members and customers, Dollar General took the following actions during the quarter:
Merchandise Inventories
As of May 1, 2020, total merchandise inventories, at cost, were $4.1 billion compared to $4.1 billion as of May 3, 2019, a decrease of 5.5% on a per-store basis.
Capital Expenditures
Total additions to property and equipment in the first quarter of 2020 were $195 million, including approximately: $75 million for improvements, upgrades, remodels and relocations of existing stores; $73 million for store
facilities, primarily for leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment in new stores; $32 million for distribution and transportation related projects; and $12 million for information systems upgrades and technology-related projects. During
the first quarter of 2020, the Company opened 250 new stores, remodeled 481 stores and relocated 17 stores.
Share Repurchases
The Company temporarily suspended repurchases of its common stock under its share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2020 to evaluate the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company repurchased $63
million of its common stock, or 0.5 million shares, under the share repurchase program at an average price of $139.83 per share in the first quarter of 2020 prior to the decision to suspend the program. The total remaining authorization for
future repurchases was $1.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2020. Under the authorization, purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time subject to market and other conditions.
The authorization has no expiration date.
Dividend
On May 27, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on or before July 21, 2020 to shareholders of record on July 7, 2020. While the
Board of Directors intends to continue regular cash dividends, the declaration and amount of future dividends are subject to the sole discretion of the Board and will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, cash
requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors the Board may deem relevant in its sole discretion.
Liquidity
To further strengthen the Company’s liquidity position during the quarter, the Company issued $1.0 billion of 3.5% Senior Notes due in 2030 and $500.0 million of 4.125% Senior Notes due in 2050. As of May 1, 2020, the
Company had $2.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents as well as $1.1 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility.
Fiscal Year 2020 Update
As noted above, the Company realized a significant sales benefit in the first quarter of the fiscal year as a result of COVID-19. In addition, since the end of the first quarter, the Company has continued to experience
elevated demand in its stores, albeit with slightly more variability and some moderation in recent days. As a result, through May 26, 2020, same-store sales have increased approximately 22% as compared to the comparable period in the 2019
fiscal year.
Due to the significant uncertainty that continues to exist around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on the U.S. economy, consumer behavior and the Company’s business, there is a lack of visibility for the remainder of 2020 with many unknowns. As a result, it is difficult to predict specific outcomes. While the Company expects it will exceed the fiscal 2020 net sales, same-store sales and diluted EPS guidance that was issued on March 12, 2020, the Company is not able to forecast the extent of such upside for the reasons mentioned above and accordingly is withdrawing the guidance issued on March 12, 2020.
However, for fiscal year 2020, the Company continues to plan for:
In addition, the Company currently intends to resume share repurchase activity as soon as management determines it is prudent and advisable to do so, which may be as early as the 2020 second quarter.
Conference Call Information
The Company will hold a conference call on May 28, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. CT/10:00 a.m. ET, hosted by Todd Vasos, chief executive officer, Jeff Owen, chief operating officer, and John Garratt, chief financial officer. To
