TUESDAY MORNING CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2022 RESULTS
Q2 fiscal 2022 comparable store sales increased 1.0% versus Q2 fiscal 2020
First six months of fiscal 2022 comparable store sales increased 1.9% versus first six months of fiscal 2020
DALLAS, TX – February 3, 2022 – Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ: TUEM), a leading off-price retailer of home goods and décor, today announced its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 ended December 31, 2021.
Fred Hand, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our overall execution during the second quarter and with the fact that we achieved a positive comparable store increase versus fiscal 2020 despite ending with 26% less store inventory and being up against 14 promotional events. We ended the second quarter with minimal seasonal carryover, and are very pleased with the level and currency of our store inventories heading into the third quarter. While we are operating in a dynamic macro environment, we continue to be focused on improving our execution of the off price model across all areas of the organization.”
Comparability to prior periods is difficult due to the Company’s reorganization under Chapter 11, Covid-19, and the elimination of promotional activity. For comparable store sales and inventory specifically, the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2020 are the most applicable comparisons due to significant impacts from Covid-19 that occurred in the first six months of fiscal 2021. The other financial statement line items are compared to the respective periods in fiscal 2021 as our store count and associated operational costs have changed significantly since fiscal 2020.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results
First Six Months Fiscal 2022 Results
The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2022 with $4.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $17.9 million outstanding under its line of credit with availability on the line of $58.0 million, compared to $26.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and no borrowings outstanding under its line of credit in the same period of fiscal 2021. Inventories at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022 were $157.1 million compared to $114.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2021.
Outlook
The Company expects its third quarter fiscal 2022 comparable store sales to increase in the mid-single digits when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Comparable stores sales growth for the second half of fiscal 2022 is expected to be in the low to mid-single digits when compared to the second half of fiscal 2021.
The Company continues to expect to report an Adjusted EBITDA loss for fiscal 2022, slightly improved from fiscal 2021.
Gross margin for the second half of the fiscal year is expected to decline as compared to the first half due to higher supply chain costs.
The Company also continues to expect to maintain sufficient liquidity to cover its obligations and plans for the fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unaudited
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define EBITDA as net earnings or net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash items and other items that we believe are not representative of our core operating performance. These measures are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss as a measure of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustments. We believe it is useful for investors to see these EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures that management uses to evaluate our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are included to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because we use these measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of our business as a supplement to GAAP measures and we believe the presentation of these non-GAAP measures enhances investors’ ability to analyze trends in our business and evaluate our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. The non-GAAP measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
