MONTREAL, Aug. 10, 2022 /CNW/ - LXRandCo, Inc. ("LXR" or the "Company") (TSX: LXR), a North American socially responsible, digital-first omni-channel retailer of authenticated pre-owned handbags and personal accessories, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 ("Q2 2022").

For the last twelve-month period ("LTM") ending June 30, 2022, total net revenue was $21.2 million, including LTM e-commerce net revenue of $12.9 million, which represented an increase of 48% and 57%, respectively, over the same period last year.

"In Q2, a generally slower quarter in the year for us, we posted a respectable growth rate of over 30% for total and e-commerce net revenue, we drove AOVs higher and we maintained our gross margins at over 35%. For the second time in the last three quarters, Cash Earnings1 came in at a break-even or better level, with Q2 2022 Cash Earnings coming in at a break-even level as compared to a loss of $0.7 million in Q2 2021." said Cam di Prata, the Company's CEO.

"While we are cautious about the economic prospects for the second half of the year, our total net revenue guidance for 2022 remains unchanged at $25 million to $30 million and it is our current expectation that if the higher end of this revenue range is achieved, adjusted earnings will come in at the break-even to slightly positive range, thus positioning the Company for profitability next year." added Cam di Prata.

Provided below are the financial highlights and a discussion of our financial results for the three–months period ended June 30, 2022, which are to be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the period.

Overview of Results for Q2 2022, compared to Q2 2021

  • In Q2 2022, total net revenue increased 36.1% to $5.5 million from $4.0 million.
  • E-commerce net revenue increased 29.6% to $3.3 million, and e-commerce average order value ("AOV") increased 14.1% to $1,128 per transaction. E-commerce net revenue as a proportion of total net revenue ("E-commerce penetration") was 59.6.%.
  • Retail net revenue was $2.2 million versus $1.5 million, an increase of 47.2%. At quarter-end, we had nine stores in operation as compared to eight in Q2 2021.
  • Gross profit margin was stable at 35.5% compared to 35.7% in Q2 2021.
  • Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by 6.6% to $2.7 million, representing 50.0% of total net revenue, from $2.6 million, or 63.9% of total net revenue. SG&A expenses in Q2 2021 included the benefits of pandemic-related government wage subsidies. Excluding the benefit of these subsidies, Q2 2022 SG&A increased 5.8% versus Q2 2021.
  • Adjusted Net loss (a non-IFRS measure) improved to a loss of $0.7 million versus a loss of $1.1 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure) improved to a loss of $0.5 million versus a loss of $0.9 million.
  • Free Cash Flow (a non-IFRS measure) was negative $0.7 million an improvement as compared to negative $1.2 million.
  • For the second time in the last three quarters Cash Earnings1came in at break-even or better, with Q2 2022 Cash Earnings coming in at $778 as compared to a loss of $0.7 million in Q2 2021.
  • Cash availability at the end of Q2 2022 was $2.9 million as compared to $3.8 million in Q4 2021, the decline attributed primarily to increased investments in working capital and the partial repayment of debt.

 1 Cash Earnings (a non IFRS measure) means Net Profit/(Loss) plus non-cash items.

 

Discussion of the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted basis, are non-IFRS measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures" further below. For a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS, see "Select Consolidated Financial Information" further below.

Total Net Revenue

For Q2 2022, total net revenue increased by 36.1% to $5.5 million from $4.0 million in Q2 2021. During this period, approximately 59.6% of our total net revenue was generated from e-commerce and 40.4% from retail activities (stores and wholesale channels combined), as compared to 62.7% and 37.3%, respectively, in Q2 2021.

During this period, approximately 69.2% of our net revenue was generated in the U.S., with the balance coming from Canada, as compared to 67.3% from the U.S. in Q2 2021.

E-commerce

E-commerce net revenue during Q2 2022 was $3.3 million, an increase of 29.6% compared to the prior period. E-commerce penetration decreased to 59.6% versus 62.7% in Q2 2021. AOV during the period was $1,128, an increase of 14.1% versus the comparable period last year.

Retail

Retail net revenue during Q2 2022 was $2.2 million, an increase of 47.2% compared to $1.5 million in Q2 2021. The increase reflects the partial recovery of our retail activities from the adverse economic impact of COVID-19 on customer foot traffic and store opening restrictions.

Our store network consisted of nine stores, of which all were open in Q2 2022, compared to ten stores as at June 30, 2021, of which eight were open. During Q2 2022, we closed 1 store location.

Gross Profit & Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit in Q2 2022 increased 35.4% to $1.9 million as compared to $1.4 million in Q2 2021. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase in total net revenue, which grew 36.1%.

Gross margin in Q2 2022, remained consistent at 35.5% compared to 35.7% in Q2 2021, primarily due the ability to maintain effective inventory management and product sourcing.

SG&A Expenses

In Q2 2022, SG&A expenses increased by 6.6% to $2.7 million, compared to $2.6 million in Q2 2021. This net increase of $0.1 million in expense was primarily growth-related and due to higher wages and salaries from headcount additions, offset by lower marketing spend. During Q2 2022, nine stores were in operation as compared to eight stores in operation in Q2 2021 which, in turn, increased store related wages and salaries and licensing fees. In Q2-2022, wages and salaries included a reformed commission structure and retroactive adjustments to January 1, 2022. In Q1 2021, SG&A expenses included the benefits of pandemic-related government wage subsidies in the amount of $18,255. Excluding the benefit of these subsidies, Q2 2022 SG&A increased by 5.8% versus Q2 2021.

On June 30, 2022, we employed 61 people across our nine retail stores, and our two office locations in Montreal, Canada and Tokyo, Japan. At the end of Q2 2021, our employee headcount was 54.

Net Loss

Despite an increase in gross profit to $1.9 million, as described above, SG&A expense increased to $2.7 million offset by foreign exchange gain of 0.7 million, which resulted in a reported Net Loss in Q2 2022 of $0.4 million as compared to a Net Loss of $1.6 million in Q2 2021.

Adjusted Net Loss

In Q2 2022, Adjusted Net Loss was $0.7 million as compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $1.1 million. Adjusted Net Loss as a percent of total net revenue was 12.7% compared to 27.0% in Q2 2021. This $0.4 million improvement was primarily due to a higher gross profit during Q2 2022 combined with a favorable foreign exchange position.

Adjusted EBITDA

In Q2 2022, Adjusted EBITDA improved by 43.3% to a loss of $0.5 million as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.9 million in Q2 2021. This improvement was primarily due to a higher gross profit during Q2 2022 combined with a favorable foreign exchange position.

Cash earnings and Free Cash Flow

As set forth below, for the second time in the last three quarters, Cash Earnings (or net cash generated before changes in non-cash working capital) for Q2 2022 came in at a significantly improved break-even level ($788) compared to a loss of $1,189,931 in Q2 2021.

In Q2 2022, we generated negative Free Cash Flow of $0.7 million, a significant improvement as compared to negative Free Cash Flow of $1.2 million in Q2 2021. This $0.6 million improvement was primarily due to superior results from continuing operations resulting in a lower net profit or loss compared to prior period. Capital expenditures, as was the case in Q2 2021, were negligible.

About LXR

LXR is a socially responsible, digital-first omni-channel retailer of authenticated pre-owned handbags and personal accessories. Since 2010, we have been providing consumers with authenticated branded luxury products from Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada and Chanel, among other high-quality brands, by promoting their reuse and providing an environmentally responsible way for consumers to purchase luxury products.

Our omni-channel model is also supported by retail "shop-in-shop" experience centers and by wholesale activities with select retail partners across North America.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of LXR's performance and results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of LXR's financial information reported under IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS measures including: "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted Net Loss", "Free Cash Flow", "LTM Total Net Revenue", "LTM E-commerce Net Revenue" and "Inventory Turns". These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of LXR's operating performance and thus highlight trends in LXR's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Management believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of company performance. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. For a definition of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Loss, and a reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to IFRS measures, see the above tables presented.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are prospective in nature and constitute forward-looking information or forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking statements generally, but not always, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "outlook", "objective", "may", "could", "would", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "forecasts", "project", "seek", "anticipate", "believes", "should", "plans" or "continue", or similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events and the negative of any of these terms.
