Tilly’s, Inc. Announces 2023 Holiday Period Net Sales, Updates Fourth Quarter Outlook

Tilly’s, Inc. (NYSE: TLYS, the “Company”) today announced net sales results for the nine-week period ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 holiday period”) in advance of its attendance and participation in the ICR Conference 2024 on January 8-9, 2024.

“Condensed peaks of increased consumer activity over Black Friday weekend, just before Christmas and in the week following Christmas were more than offset by significant decreases in consumer activity outside of those event-driven peaks, producing a slightly softer holiday season for us overall than we originally anticipated,” commented Ed Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We anticipate ending fiscal 2023 with a strong cash position, a reasonable inventory level, and no debt as we continue to focus on opportunities to improve our business in fiscal 2024.”

  • Total net sales of $139.7 million decreased by (7.4)% for the 2023 holiday period compared to $150.9 million for last year’s comparable nine-week holiday period ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 holiday period”).
  • Total comparable net sales, including both physical stores and e-commerce, decreased by (9.0)% during the 2023 holiday period compared to the 2022 holiday period. Comparable net sales of Footwear increased by a single-digit percentage, Girls and Mens apparel decreased by single-digit percentages, while Boys, Womens and Accessories decreased by double-digit percentages compared to the 2022 holiday period.
    • Comparable net sales in physical stores decreased by (12.3)% during the 2023 holiday period compared to the 2022 holiday period. Comparable net sales in physical stores were single-digit negative in the Midwest, New England and the Northwest and double-digit negative elsewhere on a percentage basis compared to the 2022 holiday period. Net sales in physical stores represented 71.9% of total net sales during the 2023 holiday period compared to 74.4% of total net sales during the 2022 holiday period.
    • E-commerce net sales increased by 1.6% during the 2023 holiday period compared to the 2022 holiday period. E-commerce net sales represented 28.1% of total net sales during the 2023 holiday period compared to 25.6% of total net sales during the 2022 holiday period.
  • As of January 2, 2024, the Company had approximately $129 million of cash and marketable securities and no debt outstanding.

Fiscal 2023 Fourth Quarter Outlook Update

Based on the Company’s net sales results for the 2023 holiday period and historical trends for the remainder of the quarter, the Company now expects its fiscal 2023 fourth quarter net sales to be in the range of approximately $169 million to $172 million and its loss per share to be in the range of $(0.20) to $(0.24). The Company expects to end fiscal 2023 with 248 total stores, total cash and marketable securities of approximately $90 million reflecting the normal seasonal fluctuation of such balances, and no debt outstanding.

The scope and nature of the impacts of current market conditions on the Company’s business continue to evolve. As a result, there can be no guarantee that the Company’s financial results through the remainder of the fourth quarter will remain consistent with those of the 2023 holiday period. In addition, the foregoing information does not reflect the full financial results for the 2023 holiday period. The Company’s actual financial results for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, are subject to completion of the period, the finalization of its normal quarter-end and year-end accounting procedures, and the audit of its fiscal 2023 financial statements. The Company currently expects to report its actual results for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full fiscal year on or about March 14, 2024.
