Business Wire

Thu, May 1, 2025, 2:05 PM 25 min read

Total Company net sales increased 4.5% to $370.1 million; constant-currency net sales¹ increased 7.1%; and comparable store sales increased 2.8%.
For the United States ("U.S."), net sales increased 9.4% and comparable store sales increased 4.2%.
For Canada, net sales decreased 4.1% due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates; constant-currency net sales¹ increased 2.2%; and comparable store sales increased 0.6%.
Opened 2 new stores as planned, ending the first quarter with 353 stores.
Net loss was $4.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, which included a $2.7 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt. Net loss margin was 1.3%.
Adjusted net income¹ was $3.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA")¹ was $42.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ was 11.6%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA¹ by $1.5 million during the first quarter.
Total active members enrolled in our U.S. and Canadian loyalty programs increased high-single digits to nearly 6.0 million.

Mark Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Savers Value Village, Inc. stated, "We are pleased with the progress across our business in the first quarter, including almost 10% growth in the U.S. market and continued sequential improvement in Canada. We believe our focus on execution, selection and value are serving us well and position us for long term profitable growth."

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $8.43 per share. As of the end of the first quarter, the Company had $6.4 million remaining under its $50.0 million share repurchase program.

In addition, on February 6, 2025, the Company redeemed $44.5 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes.

¹Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as amounts presented on a constant currency basis, are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). For additional information on our use of non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", "Constant Currency" and the accompanying financial tables which reconcile GAAP financial measures to these non-GAAP measures.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook¹

The Company’s outlook for the fifty-three weeks ending January 3, 2026 ("fiscal 2025") remains unchanged from prior guidance, reflecting:

New store openings	25 to 30
Net sales	$1.61 billion to $1.65 billion
Comparable store sales growth over fiscal 2024²	0.5% to 2.5%
Net income	$36 million to $52 million, or $0.21 to $0.31 per diluted share
Adjusted net income³	$62 million to $77 million, or $0.37 to $0.46 per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDA³	$245 million to $265 million
Capital expenditures	$125 million to $150 million

¹ The Company’s outlook for fiscal 2025 assumes an exchange rate of 1 Canadian dollar ("CAD") = 0.70 U.S. dollar ("USD").

² Fiscal 2025 comparable store sales has been adjusted to remove the impact of the 53rd week for year-over-year comparative purposes.

³ Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures recognized under GAAP. For additional information on our use of non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the accompanying financial tables which reconcile GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP measures.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "could," "may," "might," "will," "likely," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "seeks," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "continues," "projects" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. In particular, statements about future events and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections, the outlook for the Company’s future business, prospects, financial performance, including its fiscal 2025 outlook or financial guidance, and industry outlook are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the impact on both the supply and demand for the Company’s products caused by general economic conditions, such as the macroeconomic pressures in Canada and/or the U.S., and changes in consumer confidence and spending; the Company’s ability to anticipate consumer demand and to source and process a sufficient quantity of quality secondhand items at attractive prices on a recurring basis; risks related to attracting new, and retaining existing customers, including by increasing acceptance of secondhand items among new and growing customer demographics; risks associated with its status as a "brick and mortar" only retailer and its lack of operations in the growing online retail marketplace; its failure to open new profitable stores, or successfully enter new markets on a timely basis or at all; the risks associated with conducting business internationally, including challenges related to serving customers that are international manufacturers and suppliers, such as transportation and shipping challenges, regulatory risks in foreign jurisdictions (particularly in Canada, where the Company maintains extensive operations) and exchange rate risks, which the Company may not choose to fully hedge; the loss of, or disruption or interruption in the operations of, its centralized processing centers and other offsite processing locations; risks associated with litigation, the expense of defense, and the potential for adverse outcomes; its failure to properly hire and to retain key personnel and other qualified personnel or to manage labor costs; risks associated with the timely and effective deployment, protection, and defense of computer networks and other electronic systems, including e-mail; changes in government regulations, procedures and requirements; its ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls and produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations; risks associated with heightened geopolitical instability due to the conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe; outbreak of viruses or widespread illness, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters or other highly disruptive events and regulatory responses thereto; and each of the other factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in its filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. The Company is not under any obligation (and specifically disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company include Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures in this press release as they are key measures used by its management and its board of directors to evaluate its operating performance and the effectiveness of its business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and have limitations as analytical tools. You should not consider them in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including those amounts presented in accordance with the Company’s definitions of Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as they may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by the Company’s competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the same manner. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including, as applicable, net income and the Company’s other GAAP results. The Company presents Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because it considers these meaningful measures to share with investors as they best allow comparison of the performance of one period with that of another period. In addition, by presenting Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the Company provides investors with management’s perspective of the Company’s operating performance.

The Company defines Adjusted net income as net loss excluding the impact of loss on extinguishment of debt, IPO-related stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs, foreign currency exchange rate impacts, certain other adjustments, the tax effect on the above adjustments and the excess tax shortfall (benefit) from stock-based compensation. The Company defines Adjusted net income per diluted share as Adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding the impact of interest expense, net, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, lease intangible asset expense, transaction costs, foreign currency exchange rate impacts and certain other adjustments. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales, expressed as a percentage.

Constant Currency

The Company reports certain operating results on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the Company's operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the USD into the USD. Because the Company is a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on its reported results. In general, given the Company's significant operations in Canada, the Company's financial results are affected positively by a weakening of the USD against the CAD and are affected negatively by a strengthening of the USD against the CAD. References to operating results on a constant-currency basis indicate operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The Company believes disclosure of constant-currency net sales is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of its results by increasing the transparency of its underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. However, constant-currency results are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for, or superior to, comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Constant-currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, the USD was stronger relative to the CAD and the Australian dollar which resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency impact on our operating results. The Company calculates constant-currency net sales by translating current period net sales using the average exchange rates from the comparative prior period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect.
