The Aaron's Company, Inc. (NYSE: AAN), a leading, technology-enabled, omnichannel provider of lease-to-own and purchase solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

"We are pleased to announce another quarter of strong operating results, a significant return of capital to shareholders, and an increase in our revenue and earnings outlook for the full year 2021," said Douglas Lindsay, Chief Executive Officer of The Aaron's Company.

"Robust demand for our products, continued strength in customer payments, and ongoing execution of our strategic initiatives have led to a larger lease portfolio generating higher revenues, double-digit earnings growth and strong free cash flow. Our continued investments in customer-focused decisioning technology, digital payment and servicing platforms, and both in-store and online shopping experiences are yielding positive results and are collectively driving greater productivity and margin expansion."

Results of Operations - Second Quarter 2021
For the second quarter of 2021, total revenues were $467.5 million compared with $431.0 million for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of 8.5%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the improving size and quality of our lease portfolio and strong customer payment activity during the quarter, partially offset by the planned net reduction of 42 company-operated stores during the 15-month period ended June 30, 2021. E-commerce revenues were up 15.8% compared to the prior year quarter and represented 14.0% of lease revenues compared to 12.8% in the prior year quarter.

On a same store basis, lease and retail revenues increased 11.2% in the second quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Same store revenue growth was primarily driven by a larger same store lease portfolio size to begin the quarter, growth in the portfolio during the second quarter, and strong customer payment activity.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2021 were $33.0 million compared to $22.4 million in the prior year period. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2021 included $1.8 million in pre-tax restructuring charges and $1.2 million in pre-tax spin-related separation charges. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2020 included $7.0 million in pre-tax restructuring charges.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Company was $65.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $56.2 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $9.1 million, or 16.3%. As a percentage of revenues, Adjusted EBITDA was 14.0% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 13.0% for the same period in 2020, an improvement of 100 basis points. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to the items described above related to the revenue increase and an 80 basis point reduction in lease merchandise write-offs, partially offset by incremental public company costs and a return to more normalized levels of operating expenses compared to the second quarter of 2020, a period that included store shutdowns, employment furloughs, curtailment of marketing activities, franchisee royalty abatement, and other short-term actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2021 were $0.95 compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.66 in the year ago same period. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $1.05 in the second quarter of 2021 compared with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.83 for the same quarter in 2020, an increase of $0.22 or 26.5%.

During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 1,166,010 shares of Aaron's common stock for a total purchase price, including brokerage commissions, of approximately $38.6 million. For the year-to-date period through July 23, 2021, the company repurchased 1,839,313 shares of Aaron's common stock for a total purchase price, including brokerage commissions, of approximately $57.4 million. As of July 23, 2021, the Company had approximately $92.6 million remaining under its $150 million share repurchase program.

During the quarter, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share which was paid on July 6, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the company had a cash balance of $48.0 million, no debt, and total available liquidity of $281.5 million including availability under the Company's existing revolving credit facility.

Franchise Performance
Franchisee revenues totaled $82.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of 20.9% from the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a reduction in franchise locations. Same store revenues for franchised stores increased 1.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same quarter in 2020. Revenues and customers of franchisees are not revenues and customers of the Company.

2021 Outlook
The Company has revised its full year 2021 outlook. For the full year 2021, we increased our expected total revenues to between $1.775 billion and $1.800 billion.  We also increased our expected Adjusted EBITDA to between $215 million and $225 million.

For the full year 2021 updated outlook, we have assumed an effective tax rate for 2021 of approximately 26%, depreciation and amortization of between $70 million and $75 million, and a diluted weighted average share count of approximately 34 million shares. This outlook assumes no significant deterioration in the current retail environment, state of the U.S. economy, or global supply chain, as compared to its current condition.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:
Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").  Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2021 exclude certain charges including amortization expense resulting from franchisee acquisitions, restructuring charges, and separation costs associated with the separation and distribution transaction that resulted in our spin-off into a separate publicly-traded company. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2020 exclude certain charges including amortization expense resulting from franchisee acquisitions, early termination charges incurred to terminate a sales and marketing agreement, goodwill impairment charges, restructuring charges, and an income tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of a net operating loss carryback. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, which are tax-effected using estimated tax rates which are commensurate with non-GAAP pre-tax earnings, can be found in the Reconciliation of Earnings (Loss) Before Income Taxes and Earnings (Loss) Per Share Assuming Dilution to Non-GAAP Net Earnings and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share Assuming Dilution table in this press release.

The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA figures presented in this press release are calculated as the Company's earnings before interest expense, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and income taxes.  Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the other adjustments described in the calculation of non-GAAP net earnings above. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments can be found in the Quarterly EBITDA tables in this press release.

Management believes that non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, and are widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance.

Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share provide management and investors with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain items that generally arose from larger, one-time transactions that are not reflective of the ordinary earnings activity of our operations or transactions that have variability and volatility of the amount.  This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA also provide management and investors with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes.  These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because the measures:

  • Are widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors.
  • Are a financial measurement that is used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness.
  • Are used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of our operating entities and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

The Free Cash Flow figures presented in this press release are calculated as the Company's cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is an important measure of liquidity provides relevant and useful information, and are widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing liquidity.

Non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as the Company's GAAP basis net earnings and diluted earnings per share, the Company's GAAP revenues and earnings before income taxes and GAAP cash from operating activities, which are also presented in the press release.  Further, we caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner.

This Non-GAAP adjustment directly impacted income tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2020. While the inclusion of this adjustment is not necessary to reconcile from Non-GAAP earnings before income taxes to Non-GAAP net earnings in the above table, it is necessary to reconcile from losses per share assuming dilution (based on GAAP net earnings) to Non-GAAP earnings per share assuming dilution for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

In some cases, the sum of individual EPS amounts may not equal total non-GAAP EPS calculations due to rounding.
