BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2025-- Savers Value Village, Inc. (NYSE: SVV), (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2024 (the “fourth quarter”).

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter; Comparisons are to the Thirteen Weeks Ended December 30, 2023

Comparable store sales increased 1.6%, with the U.S. increasing 4.7% and Canada decreasing 2.5%.
Opened 9 new stores, ending the fourth quarter with 351 stores. For the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”), the Company opened a total of 29 new stores, consisting of 22 organic new store openings and 7 stores from its 2 Peaches acquisition.
Net loss and Adjusted net income¹ were $1.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively. Net loss per diluted share and Adjusted net income per diluted share¹ were $0.01 and $0.10, respectively. Net loss margin was 0.5%.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)¹ was $73.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ was 18.4%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA¹ by $1.1 million during the fourth quarter.
Total active members enrolled in our U.S. and Canadian loyalty programs increased 11.3% to 5.9 million.

Mark Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Savers Value Village, Inc. stated, “We ended 2024 with strong momentum, and I am particularly proud of our double-digit revenue growth in the U.S. in the fourth quarter. We are well positioned to capitalize on strong long-term secular tailwinds and continue our pivot to growth with 25 to 30 new store openings in 2025.”

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $9.67 per share. As of the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had approximately $18.1 million remaining under its share repurchase program.

In addition, on February 6, 2025, the Company redeemed $44.5 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes, equal to 10% of the outstanding balance at December 28, 2024.

¹Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as amounts presented on a constant-currency basis, are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company include Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures in this press release as they are key measures used by its management and its board of directors to evaluate its operating performance and the effectiveness of its business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and have limitations as analytical tools. You should not consider them in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including those amounts presented in accordance with the Company’s definitions of Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as they may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by the Company’s competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the same manner. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including, as applicable, net income and the Company’s other GAAP results. The Company presents Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because it considers these meaningful measures to share with investors as they best allow comparison of the performance of one period with that of another period. In addition, by presenting Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the Company provides investors with management’s perspective of the Company’s operating performance.

Adjusted net income through fiscal 2024 is defined as net (loss) income excluding the impact of loss on extinguishment of debt, IPO-related stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs, dividend-related bonus, loss (gain) on foreign currency, net, executive transition costs, certain other adjustments, the tax effect on the above adjustments, excess tax shortfall (benefit) from stock-based compensation and non-recurring tax benefit. Tax effect on adjustments as defined through fiscal 2024 is calculated based on the overall effective tax rate for the respective periods. The Company defines Adjusted net income per diluted share as Adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA through fiscal 2024 is defined as net (loss) income excluding the impact of interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash occupancy-related costs, lease intangible asset expense, pre-opening expenses, store closing expenses, executive transition costs, transaction costs, dividend-related bonus, loss (gain) on foreign currency, net, and certain other adjustments. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales, expressed as a percentage.

Changes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As previously reported on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2025, when the Company reports its first quarter results for fiscal 2025, it will do so using an updated definition of Adjusted EBITDA and comparable store sales, and a refined approach towards tax effect on adjustments within its Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share metrics. The Company believes it is appropriate to refine these metrics beginning in fiscal 2025 to better reflect the impact of its accelerating new store growth on both sales and profitability, and to improve consistency with the reporting practices of peer companies with similar growth characteristics. These changes have no impact on reported net (loss) income or the related per share amounts.

The Company is updating its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include non-cash occupancy-related costs, pre-opening expenses and store closing expenses, all of which were excluded under its previous definition of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is reporting its fourth quarter and fiscal 2024 full year results using the previous definition of Adjusted EBITDA for the final time so as to be consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. The Company’s outlook for Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2025 utilizes the new definition of Adjusted EBITDA as described above. For comparability purposes, the Company has recast Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2024 using the new definition as described above (see “Supplemental Information – Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release).

Further, the Company is updating its definition of comparable store sales. Previously, the Company defined comparable store sales to be sales by stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or, in other words, stores that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. The new approach will define comparable store sales to be sales by stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of 14 months to more closely conform with common retail practice. The impact of this change to previously reported comparable store sales is de minimis.

Lastly, the Company is adjusting its approach for calculating the tax effect on adjustments within its Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share metrics. Through fiscal 2024, the Company applied the overall effective tax rate for the year to the respective adjustments in determining Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share. Effective fiscal 2025, the Company will utilize the tax rate specifically applicable to the respective adjustments. The Company is reporting its fourth quarter and fiscal 2024 full year results using the previous approach for the final time so as to be consistent with its approach used in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024. The Company’s outlook for Adjusted net income for fiscal 2025 utilizes the new approach as described above. For comparability purposes, the Company has recast Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2024 using the new approach as described above (see “Supplemental Information – Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release).

Constant-currency

The Company reports certain operating results on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the Company's operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the USD into USD. Because the Company is a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on its reported results. In general, given the Company’s significant operations in Canada, the Company's financial results are affected positively by a weakening of the USD against CAD and are affected negatively by a strengthening of the USD against CAD. References to operating results on a constant-currency basis mean operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The Company believes disclosure of constant-currency net sales is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of its results by increasing the transparency of its underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. However, constant-currency results are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for, or superior to, comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Constant-currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. During the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024, as compared to the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 2023, the USD was stronger relative to CAD and the Australian dollar which resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency impact on our operating results. The Company calculates constant-currency net sales by translating current period net sales using the average exchange rates from the comparative prior period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect.

The Company calculates constant-currency net sales by translating current-period net sales using the average exchange rates from the comparative prior period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect. The Company’s constant-currency net sales are not financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following unaudited tables present a reconciliation of GAAP net sales to constant-currency net sales. In each table, “Other” is attributable to the Australia Retail and Wholesale operating segments which have been combined.

(1)		Comparable store sales is the percentage change in comparable store sales over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Through fiscal 2024, comparable store sales is defined as sales by stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or, in other words, stores that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. In fiscal 2024, comparable store sales excludes stores acquired in the 2 Peaches acquisition. In fiscal 2023, comparable store sales excludes stores acquired in the 2nd Ave. acquisition because those stores were not yet fully integrated during the prior year comparative period. Comparable store sales is measured in local currency for Canada, while total comparable store sales is measured on a constant-currency basis.
(2)		Total comparable store sales and total number of stores include our Australia retail locations, in addition to retail stores in the U.S. and Canada.
(3)		The Company defines sales yield as retail sales generated per pound processed on a currency neutral and comparable store basis.
