Dollar General Corporation Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

Raises Financial Guidance for Fiscal Year 2021

Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) today reported financial results for its fiscal year 2021 first quarter (13 weeks) ended April 30, 2021.

  • Net Sales Decreased 0.6% to $8.4 Billion
  • Same-Store Sales Decreased 4.6%; Increased 17.1% on a two-year stack basis1
  • Operating Profit Increased 4.9% to $908.9 Million
  • Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Increased 10.2% to $2.82
  • Cash Flows From Operations of $703.0 Million
  • Board of Directors Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.42 per share

1 Same-store sales on a two-year stack basis represents the sum of the Q1 2021 same-store sales decrease and the Q1 2020 same-store sales increase.

“We are pleased with our strong start to fiscal 2021, and I want to thank our associates for their unwavering commitment to supporting our customers, communities, and each other,” said Todd Vasos, Dollar General’s chief executive officer. “As a testament to their efforts, our first-quarter results exceeded our expectations, reflecting strong underlying performance across the business, which we believe was enhanced by the most recent round of government stimulus payment. Given our first-quarter outperformance, we are raising our financial outlook for fiscal 2021.”

“During the first quarter, we executed more than 800 real estate projects, including new store openings in our pOpshelf and larger footprint Dollar General formats. In addition, we remained focused on serving our customers, while further advancing our key strategic initiatives. Looking ahead, we are excited about our plans and believe we are well-positioned to continue delivering long-term sustainable growth and value for our shareholders.”

First Quarter 2021 Highlights

Net sales decreased 0.6% to $8.4 billion in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $8.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by a decline in same-store sales, as well as the impact of store closures, partially offset by positive sales contributions from new stores. Same-store sales decreased 4.6% compared to the first quarter of 2020, driven by a decline in customer traffic, partially offset by an increase in average transaction amount. Same-store sales in the first quarter of 2021 included a decline in the consumables category, partially offset by growth in the seasonal, apparel, and home products categories. The Company believes consumer behavior driven by government stimulus payments had a significant positive effect on sales in its non-consumable product categories.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 32.8% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 30.7% in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 208 basis points. This gross profit rate increase was primarily attributable to higher initial markups on inventory purchases; a reduction in markdowns as a percentage of net sales; a greater proportion of sales coming from the non-consumables product categories, which generally have a higher gross profit rate than the consumables product category; and a reduction in inventory shrink as a percentage of net sales. These factors were partially offset by increased transportation costs, which were primarily impacted by higher transportation rates. In light of the significant increase in sales within its non-consumable product categories, the Company believes consumer behavior driven by government stimulus payments also had a significant positive effect on gross profit dollars.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of net sales were 22.0% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 20.5% in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 152 basis points. Among the expenses that were greater as a percentage of net sales in the current year period were store occupancy costs, disaster expenses related to Winter Storm Uri, retail labor, depreciation and amortization, administrative compensation (driven by share-based compensation), utilities, and taxes and licenses.

Operating profit for the first quarter of 2021 increased 4.9% to $908.9 million compared to $866.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The first quarter of 2020 included approximately $80 million of incremental investments the Company made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily driven by $60 million in frontline employee appreciation bonuses, as well as measures taken to further protect the health and safety of employees and customers.

The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2021 was 22.0% compared to 22.2% in the first quarter of 2020. This lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to increased tax benefits associated with share-based compensation in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.

The Company reported net income of $677.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 4.2% compared to $650.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Diluted EPS increased 10.2% to $2.82 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to diluted EPS of $2.56 in the first quarter of 2020.

Merchandise Inventories

As of April 30, 2021, total merchandise inventories, at cost, were $5.1 billion compared to $4.1 billion as of May 1, 2020, an increase of 17.6% on a per-store basis. This increase compares to a 5.5% decrease in merchandise inventories, at cost, on a per-store basis in the first quarter of 2020.

Capital Expenditures

Total additions to property and equipment in the first quarter of 2021 were $278 million, including approximately: $126 million for improvements, upgrades, remodels and relocations of existing stores; $74 million for store facilities, primarily for leasehold improvements as well as fixtures and equipment in new stores; $66 million for distribution and transportation related projects; and $11 million for information systems upgrades and technology-related projects. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company opened 260 new stores, remodeled 543 stores and relocated 33 stores.

Share Repurchases

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased $1.0 billion of its common stock, or 5.0 million shares, at an average price of $201.74 per share, under its share repurchase program. The total remaining authorization for future repurchases was $1.7 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Under the authorization, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, including pursuant to trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, market conditions, compliance with the covenants and restrictions under the Company’s debt agreements and other factors. The authorization has no expiration date.

Dividend

On May 25, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on or before July 20, 2021 to shareholders of record on July 6, 2021. While the Board of Directors intends to continue regular cash dividends, the declaration and amount of future dividends are subject to the sole discretion of the Board and will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors the Board may deem relevant in its sole discretion.

Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Guidance and Store Growth Outlook

As noted above, the Company believes its first quarter results were positively impacted by consumer behavior related to government stimulus payments. Nonetheless, significant uncertainty continues to exist regarding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on the U.S. economy, consumer behavior and the Company’s business, which makes it difficult for the Company to predict specific financial outcomes for the fiscal year ending January 28, 2022 (“fiscal year 2021”). In addition, such outcomes could be impacted by several variables, which include, but are not limited to, any additional government stimulus payments, economic recovery, employment levels, COVID-19 vaccine status, and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, to reflect the strong results in the first quarter, which exceeded the Company’s expectations, the Company is updating its financial guidance issued on March 18, 2021.

For fiscal year 2021, the Company now expects the following:

  • Net sales in the range of a 1% decline to an increase of 1%; compared to its previous expectation in the range of a 2% decline to flat
  • Same-store sales decline of 5% to 3%, which reflects growth of approximately 11% to 13% on a two-year stack basis2; compared to its previous expectation of a decline of 6% to 4%
  • Diluted EPS in the range of $9.50 to $10.20, which reflects a compound annual growth rate in the range of approximately 20% to 24% (or in the range of approximately 19% to 23% compared to 2019 Adjusted diluted EPS) over a two-year period3; compared to its previous expectation in the range of $8.80 to $9.50
    • This Diluted EPS guidance assumes an effective tax rate in the range of 22% to 23%
  • Share repurchases of approximately $2.2 billion; compared to its previous expectation of approximately $1.8 billion

In addition, the Company continues to expect capital expenditures, including those related to investments in the Company’s strategic initiatives, in the range of $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion.

The Company is also reiterating its plans to execute 2,900 real estate projects in fiscal year 2021, including 1,050 new store openings, 1,750 store remodels, and 100 store relocations.

2 Same-store sales on a two-year stack basis represents the sum of actual 2020 same-store sales and the corresponding low and high ends of the 2021 guidance range.

3 Two-year compound annual growth rates utilize 2019 diluted EPS and 2019 Adjusted diluted EPS (see “Non-GAAP Disclosure” herein) as the base.

Conference Call Information

The Company will hold a conference call on May 27, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CT/10:00 a.m. ET, hosted by Todd Vasos, chief executive officer, Jeff Owen, chief operating officer, and John Garratt, chief financial officer. To participate via telephone, please call (877) 407-0890 at least 10 minutes before the conference call is scheduled to begin. The conference ID is 13718757. There will also be a live webcast of the call available at https://investor.dollargeneral.com under “News & Events, Events & Presentations.” A replay of the conference call will be available through June 24, 2021, and will be accessible via webcast replay or by calling (877) 660-6853. The conference ID for the telephonic replay is 13718757.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Adjusted diluted EPS, and its respective growth metric, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 has not been derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather excludes the impact of significant legal expenses associated with wage and hour and consumer/product certified class action litigation and related matters. Due to the nature, infrequency, and financial magnitude of such matters, the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors in assessing the Company’s operating performance as this measure provides an additional relevant comparison of the Company’s operating performance across periods. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is provided in the accompanying schedules.

The non-GAAP measure discussed above is not a measure of financial performance or condition, liquidity or profitability in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted EPS or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
