Shutterfly announces fourth quarter and full year 2018 financial results

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFLY), the leading retailer and manufacturing platform dedicated to helping capture, preserve, and share life’s important moments, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.
Christopher North, CEO, Shutterfly, will step down in August.

“2018 was a transformational year for Shutterfly, with the Lifetouch acquisition almost doubling the size of the company, and ending 2018 with $2 billion of Non-GAAP net revenue,” said Christopher North, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We articulated a unique value proposition for our customers going forward: together, Shutterfly and Lifetouch will help customers capture, preserve, and share the most important memories in their lives, bringing Shutterfly’s strengths as the leader in personalized photo-based products coupled with photo storage, together with Lifetouch’s strengths as the leader in school and family photography, to create the only end-to-end memory solution for families. In doing so, we’ve significantly increased our potential to create shareholder value. Looking forward, value creation will come from continuing to drive growth in all three of our divisions, from delivering substantial cost and revenue synergies from the Lifetouch integration, and from returning capital to shareholders.”

“Our results in the fourth quarter were mixed, with strong performance in Shutterfly Business Solutions and solid performance in Lifetouch offset by disappointing performance in Shutterfly Consumer, which had lower than expected growth of 1%.”

Please see the Company’s other two press releases issued today. The first announces that the Board of Directors has formed a Strategic Review Committee and retained a financial advisor, as it continues an ongoing review of strategic and financial alternatives. The second announces that Christopher North, President and CEO, will be stepping down at the end of August 2019, and that the Board of Directors has engaged an executive search firm to identify candidates to succeed him.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

GAAP net revenue was $950 million. Shutterfly Consumer segment net revenue totaled $528 million, a 1% year-over-year increase. Lifetouch segment net revenue was $348 million. Shutterfly Business Solutions segment net revenue totaled $74 million, a 3% year-over-year increase. GAAP operating income totaled $259 million. Net income was $178 million or $5.19 per share.

Non-GAAP net revenue, excluding purchase accounting adjustments related to the deferred revenue write-down, was $952 million, a 60% year-over-year increase driven by the Lifetouch acquisition. Non-GAAP Lifetouch segment net revenue was $350 million. Normalized operating income, excluding restructuring, acquisition-related charges and purchase accounting adjustments related to the deferred rent and deferred revenue write-down, was $264 million. Normalized net income was $187 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $320 million.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Information.”

Full Year 2018 Financial Highlights

GAAP net revenue was $1,962 million. Shutterfly Consumer segment net revenue totaled $972 million, a 3% year-over-year decrease, as 3% organic Shutterfly Brand growth was offset by lost revenue from the brands and websites the Company shuttered in the 2017 platform consolidation and a year-over-year decline in the TinyPrints Boutique. Lifetouch segment net revenue was $759 million. Shutterfly Business Solutions segment net revenue totaled $231 million, a 19% year-over-year increase. GAAP operating income totaled $115 million. Net income was $50 million or $1.45 per share.

Non-GAAP net revenue, excluding purchase accounting adjustments related to the deferred revenue write-down, was $2,001 million, a 68% year-over-year increase driven by the Lifetouch acquisition. Non-GAAP Lifetouch segment net revenue was $799 million. Normalized operating income, excluding restructuring, acquisition-related charges and purchase accounting adjustments related to inventory, deferred rent and the deferred revenue write-down, was $186 million. Normalized net income was $106 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $385 million.

Project Aspen

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company further developed its long-term plans to establish a single, next-generation manufacturing platform serving Shutterfly Consumer, Lifetouch and SBS, an initiative the Company refers to as Project Aspen. Project Aspen will yield a total of approximately $130 million in cash savings over the next five years, with annual run-rate savings from manufacturing operations of approximately $35 million from 2022 onward. In addition, while Project Aspen requires net investment in 2019, it will deliver net cash savings in every year beginning in 2020. In the first phase of Project Aspen, the Company will close four legacy Lifetouch facilities, including the two sites previously announced, and two additional facility closures announced today: Chico, California and Chattanooga, Tennessee, both of which will close in the second half of 2019. The Company will also open a new 237,000 square foot facility in Texas, in the first half of 2020, which will serve both Lifetouch and Shutterfly. Further details about Project Aspen will be shared as it progresses.

Adjusted EBITDA Target Update

The revenue and cost synergies from the Lifetouch acquisition are expected to generate between $67 million and $75 million of incremental annual Adjusted EBITDA in the next three years. The Company is updating the previously communicated 2020 Adjusted EBITDA target of $450 million for two reasons. First, the Company had lower-than-expected Shutterfly Consumer growth in the fourth quarter of 2018 and has moderated Shutterfly Consumer growth expectations in the near term. Second, while Project Aspen is expected to generate greater run-rate savings, it will also delay some of our 2020 cost synergies by one year. The Company now expects to achieve between $400 million and $450 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2021 as follows:

2021 Adjusted EBITDA Range[1]
Low-end High-end
FY19 Guidance range $ 315 $ 340
Incremental manufacturing cost synergies (between 2019 and 2021) 24 24
Reduced integration costs (between 2019 and 2021) 18 18
357 382
Baseline revenue growth (2020 and 2021)[2] 19 35
Revenue synergies (2020 and 2021)[3] 25 33
2021 Adjusted EBITDA range $ 400 $ 450
[1] The Company’s 2021 Adjusted EBITDA outlook is composed entirely of non-GAAP measures. The Company considers it unreasonably difficult to reconcile its outlook to comparable GAAP measures.
[2] Baseline revenue growth rate 3%-5% per year.
[3] Assumes $50 million – $65 million of revenue synergies at a 50% contribution margin.

Capital Update

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of December 31, 2018, totaled $566 million. In January 2019, as anticipated, the Company repaid $200 million of Term Loan B debt that was used to finance the acquisition of Lifetouch. The Company ended January with cash, cash equivalents, and investments of approximately $225 million, down from December 31, 2018, driven by the debt repayment, and working capital used to pay vendors and suppliers used in the fourth quarter.

The Board and management have also reviewed Shutterfly’s capital structure, including appropriate leverage levels and potential share buybacks. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company paid down $200 million of debt, consistent with its previous commitment to retain a BB debt rating, while remaining compliant with its debt covenants. As part of this review, the Company affirmed its objective of maintaining gross leverage of 2.5-3.0x Adjusted EBITDA on an annual basis, and to return cash in excess of our operating and financing needs to shareholders in the form of share repurchases, within the parameters of appropriate cash management that meets the needs of Shutterfly’s highly seasonal business, where substantially all of the Company’s cash flow is generated in the last four months of the year. Currently, management believes it will be in position to begin executing on a capital return plan during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Impact of New Lease Accounting Standard

The new lease accounting standard, ASC 842 (Leases) is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is finalizing the evaluation of the effects to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosure. The Company expects the most significant impact relates to the leases designated as operating leases that will be recognized as right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption. Additionally, the Company derecognized its build-to-suit leases upon adoption of ASC 842. Post adoption of ASC 842, the Company’s build-to-suit leases will be accounted for as operating leases and will be recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, with lease expense recorded in the income statement. Prior to adoption of ASC 842, the Company’s build-to-suit leases were recorded as assets and financing obligations, with depreciation expense and interest expense recorded in the income statement, respectively. As a result, the Company expects that its Adjusted EBITDA in 2019 will be negatively impacted by approximately $5.0 million from the change in accounting treatment related to the Company’s build-to-suit leases.

Notes to the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results and Operating Metrics and 2019 Business Outlook

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, capital lease termination, restructuring and acquisition-related costs.

The Company expanded segment reporting in the second quarter of 2018, which now includes segment margin. Segment reporting continues to report net revenue and cost of net revenue, consistent with previous reporting, but now it also includes technology and development, sales and marketing, and credit card fees, arriving at a margin for the segment. The margin of the Company’s three segments compares to non-GAAP operating income by adding corporate expenses, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and other non-recurring items including restructuring and acquisition-related charges.

Shutterfly Consumer segment includes sales from the Shutterfly brand, the Tiny Prints boutique and BorrowLenses, and are derived from the sale of a variety of products such as, professionally-bound photo books, cards and stationery, custom home décor products and unique photo gifts, calendars and prints, and the related shipping revenue, as well as rental revenue from the BorrowLenses brand. Consumer also includes revenue from advertising displayed on the Company’s website.

Lifetouch segment includes net revenue from professional photography services for schools, preschools and churches, as well as retail studios operated by Lifetouch under the JCPenney Portrait brand.

Shutterfly Business Solutions (“SBS”) segment includes net revenue from personalized direct marketing and other end-consumer communications as well as just-in-time, inventory-free printing for the Company’s business customers.

Average Order Value (“AOV”) is defined as total net revenue (excluding Lifetouch and SBS) divided by total orders.

The financial guidance herein replaces any of the Company’s previously issued financial guidance which should no longer be relied upon.

[1] The margins reported reflect only costs that are directly attributable or allocable to a specific segment and exclude corporate expenses, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and other non-recurring charges.
[2] The Company acquired Lifetouch on April 2, 2018.
[3] Yearbook sales and collections for the Lifetouch segment are made throughout the school year, whereas yearbooks are typically delivered toward the end of the school year in the second quarter of the fiscal year. Business combination accounting principles require the Company to record the assumed deferred revenue at fair value on the acquisition date measured based on the cost to manufacture and deliver the yearbooks, plus a profit margin. Segment reporting includes this purchase accounting adjustment which primarily relates to yearbook sales in net revenue for the Lifetouch segment.
[4] Business combination accounting principles require the Company to measure acquired inventory at fair value. The fair value of inventory reflects the acquired company’s cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin. Segment reporting excludes this purchase accounting adjustment from cost of net revenue for the Lifetouch segment.

The following table reconciles operating segment margin to total operating income, operating segment net revenue to total net revenue, and operating segment cost of net revenue to total cost of net revenue:

[1] During the third quarter of 2018, the Company identified certain amounts attributable to the repayment of accreted interest on its convertible senior notes that were misclassified within the statement of cash flows. This misclassification resulted in a $64 million understatement of net cash used in operating activities with a corresponding understatement of cash provided by financing activities for the second quarter of 2018. The quarterly amounts in the above table have been revised to appropriately reflect such repayment of accreted interest in cash used in operating activities during the second quarter of 2018.
