Exhibit 99.1
Conn’s, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, March 29, 2023 - Conn’s, Inc. (NASDAQ: CONN) (“Conn’s” or the “Company”), a specialty retailer of home goods, including furniture, appliances and consumer electronics, with a mission to elevate home life to home love, today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended January 31, 2023.
“Our fourth quarter performance reflects the actions underway to refocus our efforts on serving our core credit constrained customers as we continue to face the impacts of macroeconomic headwinds and changes in consumer behavior. Providing multiple financing options is our key differentiator and we are pursuing profitable growth strategies aimed at enhancing the payment options we provide the tens of millions of consumers who visit our stores and website each year,” stated Norm Miller Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.
“During the fourth quarter, we completed the final phase of our eCommerce platform conversion, which further enhances our digital capabilities and produced record fourth-quarter and full-year eCommerce sales. In addition, we recently began originating our first in-house lease-to-own transactions and we expect to expand this program throughout fiscal year 2024. We believe our in-house lease-to-own program will be a transformative opportunity for the Company that has the potential to significantly benefit revenue and earnings in the coming years,” continued Mr. Miller.
“While we believe the economic landscape will remain challenging throughout the coming fiscal year, we are confident that the strategies we are pursuing will enable us to emerge from this period stronger, more focused and better positioned to create lasting value for our customers, employees, and shareholders,” concluded Mr. Miller.
Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Highlights as Compared to the Prior Fiscal Year (Unless Otherwise Noted):

1
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $36.7 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, which excludes charges and credits for asset disposal and store closure costs. This compares to adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 of $9.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, which excludes charges and credits for excess import freight costs related to unprecedented congestion in U.S. ports.
Retail Segment Fourth Quarter Results
Retail revenues were $270.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023 compared to $333.0 million for the three months ended January 31, 2022, a decrease of $62.2 million, or 18.7%. The decrease in retail revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in same store sales of 21.8%. The decrease in same store sales was primarily driven by lower discretionary spending for home-related products and lower lease-to-own sales. These decreases were partially offset by new store growth.
For the three months ended January 31, 2023, retail segment operating loss was $19.5 million compared to retail segment operating income of $10.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted retail segment operating loss for the three months ended January 31, 2023 was $11.7 million, which excludes charges and credits for asset disposal and store closure costs. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted retail segment operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2022 was $13.6 million, which excludes charges and credits for excess import freight costs related to unprecedented congestion in U.S. ports.

Credit revenues were $64.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023 compared to $69.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2022, a decrease of $5.4 million or 7.8%. The decrease in credit revenue was primarily due to a decrease of 8.9% in the average balance of the customer receivable portfolio as well as a decrease in insurance commissions.
Provision for bad debts increased to $44.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023 compared to $28.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2022, an increase of $15.9 million.

Credit segment operating loss was $13.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2023, compared to operating income of $4.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2022. The decrease in credit segment operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2022 was primarily driven by an increase in provision for bad debts as well as by a decline in credit revenue, as described above.
Additional information on the credit portfolio and its performance may be found in the Customer Accounts Receivable Portfolio Statistics table included within this press release and in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2023.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(unaudited)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Basis for presentation of non-GAAP disclosures:
To supplement the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company also provides the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted retail segment operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, comparable GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP. They are intended to provide additional insight into our operations and the factors and trends affecting the business. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to financial statement readers because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics we use in our financial and operational decision making and (2) they are used by some of our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our operating results.
