Second Quarter Division Results

Retail Division

Retail Division sales were $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1.2 billion in the prior year period. The decline in sales was due to the impact of planned store closures over the past twelve months and a 6% decline in comparable store sales in the quarter versus the prior year due primarily to lower store traffic and average order value of purchases.

Retail Division operating income was $20 million, or 1.8% of sales, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $30 million, or 2.4% of sales, in the second quarter of 2016. The decline from the prior year quarter primarily reflected the negative flow-through impact from lower sales and a lower gross margin rate, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses realized from the company’s store closure program and Comprehensive Business Review initiatives.

During the second quarter, the company closed 31 stores and ended the quarter with a total of 1,408 retail stores in the Retail Division.

Business Solutions Division

Business Solutions Division sales were $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2017, a decline of 6% in constant currency compared to the second quarter of 2016. The sales decline was primarily driven by continued competitive pressures, prior period customer losses in the contract channel, the ongoing reduction in catalog sales through our call centers and the impact of sales from omnichannel programs that are recorded in the Retail Division.

Business Solutions Division operating income was $64 million, or 5.1% of sales, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $63 million, or 4.8% of sales, in the second quarter of 2016. Although operating income increased slightly compared to the prior year quarter, operating margin benefited as the flow-through impact from lower sales and a lower gross margin rate was more than offset by cost savings and efficiencies including lower selling, general and administrative expenses.


Sale of International Businesses

During the second quarter of 2017, the company successfully completed the sale of its business in South Korea. As announced on June 2, 2017, the company also reached an agreement during the quarter to sell its business in mainland China, with that sale being finalized on July 28, 2017.

In addition to these transactions, the company also announced on April 18, 2017, that it had entered into a definitive sale and purchase agreement related to the company’s operations in Australia and New Zealand. Closing is subject to the buyer obtaining the necessary regulatory approval and is expected to close within the next several months.

The company’s retained sourcing and trading operations in Asia contributed $4 million in sales for the second quarter of 2017 and an operating loss of $1 million. These results are reported as an “Other” segment outside of the primary two operating segments.

Corporate Results

Corporate includes support staff services and certain other expenses that are not allocated to the company’s operating divisions. Unallocated expenses decreased to $16 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $17 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of July 1, 2017, Office Depot had $0.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.0 billion available under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, for total available liquidity of approximately $1.8 billion. Total debt was $375 million, excluding $787 million of non-recourse debt related to the credit-enhanced timber installment notes.

For the second quarter of 2017, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $27 million and included the impact of $15 million in restructuring costs and $13 million in OfficeMax merger–related costs. Capital expenditures were $25 million in the second quarter of 2017, $3 million of which were related to the merger integration.

During the second quarter, the company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.025 per share on June 15, 2017 for approximately $13 million.

Office Depot repurchased approximately 2 million shares at a total cost of $7 million in the second quarter of 2017. Since the share repurchase program began in May 2016, Office Depot has repurchased approximately 41 million shares, at a total cost of $149 million, for a weighted average price of $3.65 per share. At the end of the second quarter, $101 million remained available for repurchase under the current $250 million buyback authorization.

Outlook (2)

Office Depot continues to expect total company sales in 2017 to be lower than 2016, primarily due to the impact of planned store closures, prior year contract customer losses, continued challenging market conditions and returning to a 52-week fiscal year. However, the company expects the rate of sales decline to improve in the second half of 2017 based on improvements in customer retention, implementation of new customer wins and growth from strategic business initiatives.

The company expects to be substantially complete with the OfficeMax integration and realize the majority of the synergy benefits by the end of 2017. Merger integration expenses are now estimated to total approximately $40 million in 2017 and approximately $15 million in merger-related capital expenditures.


Office Depot’s additional cost saving initiatives are expected to deliver over $250 million in annual benefits by the end of 2018. About half of these benefits are anticipated to be realized in 2017. In addition, the company estimates it will incur up to approximately $125 million in costs to implement the cost saving programs, of which $75 million has been incurred in 2016 and through the first half of 2017. The majority of the remaining costs are expected to be incurred by the end of 2017.

The company continues to expect adjusted operating income of approximately $500 million in fiscal 2017. This includes funding a number of strategic initiatives and opportunities to grow the business throughout the year. The 2017 target is a comparable year-over-year increase of about 10%, excluding the $15 million estimated 53rd week operating income benefit realized in 2016.

Capital expenditures in 2017 are now expected to be approximately $150 million including investments to support the company’s critical priorities and the Store of the Future test formats. Depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $150 million in 2017.

Office Depot continues to anticipate free cash flow(3) from continuing operations to be more than $300 million in 2017.

The company anticipates a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 41% in fiscal 2017, dependent on the mix and timing of income. As the company continues to utilize available tax operating loss carry forwards and credits, the estimated cash tax rate is expected to be approximately 15%.

 

(2) The company’s outlook for 2017 included in this release, includes expected adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP number, which excludes charges or credits not indicative of our core operations, which may include but not be limited to merger integration expenses, restructuring charges, executive transition costs, asset impairments, and other significant items that currently cannot be predicted. The exact amount of these charges or credits are not currently determinable, but may be significant. Accordingly, the company is unable to provide equivalent reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP for these financial measures.
(3) Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(Unaudited)

We report our results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We also review certain financial measures excluding impacts of transactions that are not related to our core operations (“non-GAAP”). Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the ability of its investors to analyze trends in its business and provides a means to compare periods that may be affected by various items that might obscure trends or developments in its business. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assist in making business decisions and assessing overall performance. Non-GAAP measures help to evaluate programs and activities that are intended to attract and satisfy customers, separate from expenses and credits directly associated with Merger, restructuring, and certain similar items. Certain non-GAAP measures are also used for short and long-term incentive programs.

Our measurement of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled financial measures used by others and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to the GAAP measures, but only to clarify some information and assist the reader. We have included reconciliations of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures in the tables included within this material.

The company’s outlook for 2017 adjusted operating income included in this release, excludes charges or credits not indicative of our core operations, which may include but not be limited to merger integration expenses, restructuring charges, asset impairments and other significant items that currently cannot be predicted. The exact amount of these charges or credits are not currently determinable, but may be significant. Accordingly, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation to an equivalent operating income outlook for 2017.
