National Vision Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results
•Net revenue decreased 39.5% to $260.0 million
•Negative comparable store sales growth of (44.7)%; Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth of (36.5)%
•For June, comparable store sales growth of 14.3% and Adjusted Comparable Stores Sales Growth of 19.3%
•Net loss of $(43.8) million; Diluted EPS of $(0.55)
•Adjusted EBITDA of $(14.4) million
•Adjusted Operating Income of $(34.4) million
•Adjusted Diluted EPS of $(0.41)
•Extended partnership with Walmart Inc. for three years
Duluth, Ga. -- August 6, 2020 -- National Vision Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYE) (“National Vision” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2020.
“The second quarter represented one of the most eventful periods in our Company's history and our respective careers,” stated Reade Fahs, chief executive officer. “Following our March closings, we are pleased to have safely reopened our stores by early June. With our many new protocols in place, we believe we have an effective, safety first approach to serve patients and customers in a COVID-19 environment. While we expect the macro environment will continue to evolve, we believe we are well positioned to continue operations throughout the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Mr. Fahs further commented, “Since reopening, our stores have experienced consistently strong demand from our patients and customers. June comps increased over 19%, the best reported comp increase in my 18 years at National Vision, with similar momentum continuing throughout July. Results were likely helped by pent-up demand during the lock-down and benefits from government stimulus payments. But performance also reflects successful macro and micro navigation of this dynamic situation by our operations and product teams. As our stores provide essential healthcare services and products, and given the state of the economy, we believe ever more consumers are drawn to our affordably priced eye exams, eyeglasses, and contact lenses.”
Mr. Fahs continued, “In May, we took the financial steps to strengthen our balance sheet and are confident in our financial flexibility and liquidity to navigate the remainder of the pandemic. In July, we were pleased to extend our 30-year partnership with Walmart for another three years into 2024. This contract extension comes on the heels of the successful transition of the five additional Vision Centers that Walmart granted in January. We have been encouraged by the initial results at these stores to date and see tremendous future potential for them as well.”
Mr. Fahs concluded, “As matters of diversity and inclusion are ever more on the minds of both consumers and associates, especially relative to the Black community, they remain a priority at National Vision as we strive to be an ever more inclusive workplace. In the second quarter, we established a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council to give a stronger voice to our Black associates and other minorities within the National Vision family. And, as we continue to strive to provide a life-giving culture for our associates and doctors who practice alongside our stores, we made investments in our people including a one-time $250 ‘appreciation’ bonus to our front line associates and network of doctors for their exceptional work under difficult circumstances over the past several months. I derive constant inspiration by the work and determination of the extended National Vision team. While there remains uncertainty about the future, I am confident that we will emerge stronger and better from this extraordinary experience.”
Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and EBITDA are not measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

COVID-19 Response Update
The Company continues to take actions to manage its business through the dynamic and challenging environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Following temporary store closures to the public in March 2020, the Company completed the process of reopening stores with enhanced safety and cleaning protocols in early June 2020. In addition, the Company continues to take actions to manage the business that the Company believes are prudent in these circumstances, including:
•In May 2020, the Company completed the issuance of $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2025;
•In May 2020, the Company and the lenders under its credit facility entered into an amendment to the facility. This amendment is intended to prevent the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the temporary closure of stores, from creating uncertainty relative to the Company’s ability to comply with certain financial covenants and allow it to focus on prudent management of the business over the quarters ahead. The amendment suspends certain financial maintenance covenants contained in the facility until testing at the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2021;
•In connection with the reopening to the public of its retail stores, the Company returned to previous levels of compensation and work hours across the organization, and the respective base salaries of executive officers were reinstated to pre-COVID-19 levels effective as of June 7, 2020;
•In May 2020, the Company resumed unit growth and expects to open between 50 and 55 new stores in 2020. In addition to new store openings, as previously announced, the Company transitioned five additional Vision Centers in Walmart stores to its management during the second quarter of 2020; and
•The Company recorded a credit of $10.8 million as a reduction of costs applicable to revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a result of the employee retention credits made available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
Given the uncertainties, dynamic nature, resurgence, and unknown duration of the pandemic, the Company is continuing to evaluate additional operational and financial measures that may be taken as the Company continues to respond to the impact of COVID-19 on its business.
Second Quarter 2020 Summary
•Net revenue decreased 39.5% to $260.0 million from $429.5 million for the second quarter of 2019.
•Net revenue was negatively impacted by 10.0% due to the timing of unearned revenue, which also resulted in material impacts to profitability. The Company experienced an increase in unearned revenue of $34.4 million in the second quarter compared to a decrease in unearned revenue of $8.5 million for the same period of 2019. The increase in unearned revenue resulted from the temporary store closures at the end of the first quarter of 2020 as well as stronger sales at the end of the second quarter of 2020.
•Comparable store sales growth was (44.7)% and Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth was (36.5)%.
•In light of the temporary store closures, the Company is providing certain additional comparable store sales growth information. For the respective months ended April 25, 2020, May 30, 2020, and June 27, 2020:
◦Comparable store sales growth was (83.9)%, (56.6)% and 14.3%; and
◦Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth was (86.6)%, (38.5)% and 19.3%.

As a percentage of net revenue, costs applicable to revenue increased 690 basis points to 54.1% from 47.2% for the second quarter of 2019. This increase as a percentage of net revenue was primarily driven by optometrist costs incurred during store closures and increased contact lens mix.
•SG&A decreased 25.1% to $136.6 million from $182.3 million for the second quarter of 2019. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A increased 1,010 basis points to 52.5% from 42.4% for the second quarter of 2019. This increase as a percentage of net revenue was primarily driven by store and corporate payroll and occupancy costs incurred during store closures, partially offset by lower advertising investment. SG&A for the second quarter of 2020 includes $2.5 million of incremental costs directly related to adapting the Company's operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
•Net income decreased 527% to a net loss of $43.8 million compared to net income of $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2019.

Additional information about these and other factors that could cause National Vision’s results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in filings by National Vision with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Form 8-K filed on March 19, 2020, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2020 and August 6, 2020, and subsequent filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” “Adjusted Operating Income,” “Adjusted Operating Margin,”, “Adjusted Diluted EPS,” “Adjusted SG&A” and “Adjusted SG&A Percent of Net Revenue.” We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A Percent of Net Revenue assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.
To supplement the Company’s comparable store sales growth presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides “Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is useful because it provides timely and accurate information relating to the two core metrics of retail sales: number of transactions and value of transactions. Management uses Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth as the basis for key operating decisions, such as allocation of advertising to particular markets and implementation of special marketing programs. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth provides timely and accurate information relating to the operational health and overall performance of each brand. We also believe that, for the same reasons, investors find our calculation of Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth to be meaningful.
In the first quarter of 2020, we introduced Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin as measures of performance we will use in connection with Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Diluted EPS. Further, consistent with our presentation of Adjusted Operating Income, we no longer exclude new store pre-opening expenses and non-cash rent from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS. See our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020 for more information.
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company updated its definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted Diluted EPS discussed below, so that they no longer exclude new store pre-opening expenses and non-cash rent.
EBITDA: We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock compensation expense, asset impairment, litigation settlement, management realignment expenses, long-term incentive plan expenses, and other expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue.
Adjusted Operating Income: We define Adjusted Operating Income as net income (loss), plus interest expense and income tax provision (benefit), further adjusted to exclude stock compensation expense, asset impairment, litigation settlement, management realignment expenses, long-term incentive plan expenses, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and other expenses.
Adjusted Operating Margin: We define Adjusted Operating Margin as Adjusted Operating Income as a percentage of net revenue.
Adjusted Diluted EPS: We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted for the per share impact of stock compensation expense, asset impairment, litigation settlement, management realignment expenses, long-term incentive plan expenses, amortization of acquisition intangibles, amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs, losses (gains) on change in fair value of derivatives, other expenses, and tax benefit of stock option exercises, less the tax effect of these adjustments.
Adjusted SG&A: We define Adjusted SG&A as SG&A, adjusted to exclude stock compensation expense, management realignment expenses, long-term incentive plan expenses, and other expenses except for the share of losses on equity method investments.
Adjusted SG&A Percent of Net Revenue: We define Adjusted SG&A Percent of Net Revenue as Adjusted SG&A divided by net revenue.
Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth: We measure Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth as the increase or decrease in sales recorded by the comparable store base in any reporting period, compared to sales recorded by the comparable store base in the prior reporting period, which we calculate as follows: (i) sales are recorded on a cash basis (i.e., when the order is placed and paid for or submitted to a managed care payor, compared to when the order is delivered), utilizing cash basis point of sale information from stores; (ii) stores are added to the calculation during the 13th full fiscal month following the store’s opening; (iii) closed stores are removed from the calculation for time periods that are not comparable; (iv) sales from partial months of operation are excluded when stores do not open or close on the first day of the month; and (v) when applicable, we adjust for the effect of the 53rd week. Quarterly, year-to-date and annual adjusted comparable store sales are aggregated using only sales from all whole months of operation included in both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period. When a partial month is excluded from the calculation, the corresponding month in the subsequent period is also excluded from the calculation. There may be variations in the way in which some of our competitors and other retailers calculate comparable store sales. As a result, our adjusted comparable store sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other retailers. We did not adjust our calculation of Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth for the temporary closure of our stores to the public as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A Percent of Net Revenue, and Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, the ratio of net income to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, SG&A, the ratio of SG&A to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, comparable store sales growth as a measure of operating performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

(a)Total comparable store sales based on consolidated net revenue excluding the impact of (i) Corporate/Other segment net revenue, (ii) sales from stores opened less than 13 months, (iii) stores closed in the periods presented, (iv) sales from partial months of operation when stores do not open or close on the first day of the month and (v) if applicable, the impact of a 53rd week in a fiscal year. Brand-level comparable store sales growth is calculated based on cash basis revenues consistent with what the CODM reviews, and consistent with reportable segment revenues presented in Note 10. “Segment Reporting” in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1. Item 1. in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with the exception of the Legacy segment, which is adjusted as noted in clause (b) (ii) below.
(b)There are two differences between total comparable store sales growth based on consolidated net revenue and Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth: (i) Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth includes the effect of deferred and unearned revenue as if such revenues were earned at the point of sale, resulting in the following changes from total comparable store sales growth based on consolidated net revenue: an increase of 8.1% and a decrease of 0.4% for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, an increase of 0.3% and an increase of 0.2% for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, a decrease of 3.3% for the one month ended April 25, 2020, an increase of 17.7% for the one month ended May 30, 2020, and an increase of 6.0% for the one month ended June 27, 2020; and (ii) Adjusted Comparable Store Sales Growth includes retail sales to the Legacy partner’s customers (rather than the revenues recognized consistent with the management & services agreement with the legacy partner), resulting the following changes from total comparable store sales growth based on consolidated net revenue: an increase of 0.1% and a decrease of 0.2% for three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, an increase of 0.1% and a decrease of 0.3% for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, an increase of 0.6% for the one month ended April 25, 2020, an increase of 0.4% for the one month ended May 30, 2020, and a decrease of 1.0% for the one month ended June 27, 2020.
