Exhibit 99.1
Conn’s, Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Results
THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS, June 2, 2015 – Conn’s, Inc. (NASDAQ:CONN), a specialty retailer of furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products, and provider of consumer credit, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2015.
Financial Results
First-quarter fiscal 2016 significant items included (on a year-over-year basis unless noted):
• | Consolidated revenues increased 8.8% to $365.1 million due to new store openings, partially offset by a decrease in same store sales of 4.3%, as well as an increase in credit revenue from growth in the average balance of the customer receivable portfolio, partially offset by a 100 basis point decrease in portfolio yield; |
• | Retail gross margin decreased 10 basis points to 41.3%; |
• | Adjusted retail segment operating income increased 9.3% to $43.2 million; |
• | Credit segment operating loss was $8.5 million, driven primarily by increased provision for bad debts; |
• | The percentage of the customer portfolio balance 60+ days delinquent was 8.4% as of April 30, 2015 compared to 8.0% as of April 30, 2014, with a sequential decrease of 130 basis points from January 31, 2015; and |
• | Diluted earnings for the three months ended April 30, 2015 were $0.43 per share compared to diluted earnings of $0.77 per share for the three months ended April 30, 2014. |
Theodore M. Wright, Conn’s chairman and chief executive officer commented, "In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the retail segment expanded with new store growth offset by declines in same store sales. Although greater than 60-day delinquency for the quarter is above prior year, delinquency rates have continued to improve sequentially as we have progressively tightened underwriting standards over the course of fiscal 2015 and our ability to resolve less than 60-day delinquency has remained stable."
Mr. Wright continued, "The retail segment successfully opened three new stores during the first quarter. Furniture and mattress sales were 33% of total product sales for the quarter. Retail gross margin was 41.3% compared to our long term goal of 42%."
Retail Segment First Quarter Results (on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted)
Total retail revenues were $298.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, an increase of $20.5 million, or 7.4%. The retail revenue growth reflects the impact of the net addition of 12 stores over the past 12 months partially offset by a decrease in same store sales of 4.3%.

The following provides a summary of items impacting performance by product category during the quarter compared to the prior-year period:
• | Furniture unit volume increased 12.4% offset by a 2.9% decrease in average selling price; |
• | Mattress unit volume increased 17.3% and the average selling price was flat; |
• | Home appliance unit volume increased 13.3%, offset by a 3.7% decrease in average selling price. Refrigeration sales increased 10.0%, laundry sales increased 8.8%, and cooking sales increased by 8.5%; |
• | Consumer electronic average selling price increased by 13.0%, offset by a 4.7% decrease in unit volume. Television sales increased 8.7% as average unit selling price increased 12.0% offset by a 2.9% decrease in unit volume. On a same store basis, television sales decreased 1.3%; |
• | Home office average selling price increased 10.2%, offset by a 16.5% decrease in unit volume. Tablet sales decreased by 49.5%; and |
• | The increase in repair service agreement commissions was driven by higher retrospective commissions and increased retail sales. |
Retail gross margin was 41.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 10 basis points from the prior-year period, primarily due to unleveraged warehousing costs.
Credit Segment First Quarter Results (on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted)
Credit revenues increased 15.9% in the first quarter to $66.4 million. The credit revenue growth was attributable to the increase in the average receivable portfolio balance outstanding. The total customer portfolio balance was $1.4 billion at April 30, 2015, rising 25.2%, or $278.4 million from April 30, 2014. The portfolio interest and fee income yield on an annualized basis was 16.6% for the first quarter, a decline of 100 basis points year-over-year as a result of a higher provision for uncollectible interest and the introduction of 18- and 24-month equal-payment, no-interest finance programs beginning in October 2014 to certain higher credit quality borrowers.
Provision for bad debts for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $47.5 million, an increase of $25.3 million from the same prior-year period. This increase was impacted by the following:
• | A 26.4% increase in the average receivable portfolio balance resulting from new store openings and same store growth over the past 12 months; |
• | A 17.5% increase in the balances originated during the quarter compared to the prior year quarter; |
• | An increase of 40 basis points in the percentage of customer accounts receivable balances greater than 60 days delinquent to 8.4% at April 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year period. Delinquency increased year-over-year across product categories and years of origination and many of the credit quality levels and geographic regions; |
• | Higher expected charge-offs over the next twelve-month period as losses are occurring at a faster pace than previously experienced, due to the increased proportion of new customers of the total customer portfolio balance and continued elevation of delinquency rates; and |
• | The balance of customer receivables accounted for as troubled debt restructurings increased to $95.6 million, or 6.9% of the total portfolio balance, driving $9.0 million of the increase in provision for bad debts. |
Additional information on the credit portfolio and its performance may be found in the Customer Receivable Portfolio Statistics table included within this press release and in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2015, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
First Quarter Net Income Results
Net income for the three months ended April 30, 2015 was $15.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, which included charges and credits of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share on an after-tax basis, related to store closures and relocations and legal and professional fees related to the exploration of strategic alternatives and securities-related litigation. This compares to net income for the three months ended April 30, 2014 of $28.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, which included charges and credits of $1.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share on an after-tax basis, related to store closures and relocations.
Store Update
During the first quarter, we opened three new Conn's HomePlus® stores in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, and closed two stores in Louisiana and Texas.
Capital and Liquidity
As of April 30, 2015, we had $473.8 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, including standby letters of credit issued. We had $356.3 million of immediately available borrowing capacity, with an additional $48.8 million that could become available upon increases in eligible inventory and customer receivable balances under the borrowing base.
Recent Developments and Operational Changes
In October 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized management to explore a full range of strategic alternatives to enhance value for stockholders, including, but not limited to, a sale of the Company, separating its retail and credit businesses or slowing store openings and returning capital to investors. The Company and its advisors have conducted a thorough review of strategic alternatives, including alternatives not identified in the October announcement. In March 2015, after appropriate diligence and consideration, the Board of Directors authorized management to actively pursue the sale of all or a portion of the loan portfolio, or other refinancing of our loan portfolio. BofA Merrill Lynch and Stephens Inc. have been retained as our financial advisors to assist with this process, which is currently ongoing as we are engaged in discussions with interested parties. There is no assurance that we will complete a sale of all or a portion of the loan portfolio, and no timetable has been set for completion of this process. The Board of Directors may also determine that a refinancing transaction or no transaction is in the best interests of stockholders. As a result, we have determined that the loan portfolio does not meet the criteria for treatment as an asset held for sale, which would require recording at the lower of cost, net of allowances, or fair value. Because the fair value will be based on the expected return on the loan portfolio over its expected life whereas a significant portion of our allowances are based on expected charge-offs over the next twelve months, the fair value of the loan portfolio could be less than the amount
currently recorded. However, certain conditions and variables may result in the fair value of the loan portfolio being greater than the amount currently recorded, including the current loan portfolio at a weighted average contractual annual percentage rate of 21.4% and buyers having the potential to use higher leverage on the portfolio at a lower cost of capital than us. We have not made an adjustment to the customer accounts receivable balance in anticipation of any gain or loss that may occur should a sale of the receivables be completed.
On April 24, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 pursuant to which we exchanged the Senior Notes for an equivalent amount of 7.25% Senior Notes due July 2022 that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exchange Notes”). The exchange offer was completed on June 1, 2015, and all of the outstanding Senior Notes were tendered in exchange for the Exchange Notes. The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the Senior Notes.
Additionally, in April 2015, we hired a Chief Credit Officer, who reports to the Chief Operating Officer. The Board of Directors continues to search for additional senior leadership.
Outlook and Guidance
During fiscal 2016, we will discontinue offering video game products, digital cameras and certain tablets. During fiscal 2015, net sales and product margin from the sale of these products were approximately $50.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. We have experienced significantly higher charge-off rates and lower product margins associated with purchases of these products by our customers.
The following are our expectations for the business for the second quarter of fiscal 2016:
• | Percent of bad debt charge-offs (net of recoveries) to average outstanding balance between 11.5% and 12.0%; and |
• | Interest income and fee yield between 16.5% and 17.0% (as a point of reference, generally for every 100 basis point change in the provision rate, yield is impacted by approximately 15 basis points). |
We are reaffirming our expectations for the business for fiscal year 2016:
• | Change in same stores sales to range from flat to up low single digits; |
• | Retail gross margin between 40% and 41%; |
• | Opening of 15 to 18 new stores; and |
• | Closure of two stores. |

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"), we also provide retail segment adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures but should be considered in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, and 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 its institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our operating results.
