Company Overview

Known for its oversized, premium beanbags, Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE) is a specialty furniture brand selling modular furniture.

Revenue Growth

Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, Lovesac grew its sales at a 16.8% compounded annual growth rate. Though this growth is acceptable on an absolute basis, we need to see more than just topline growth for the consumer discretionary sector, which can display significant earnings volatility. This means our bar for the sector is particularly high, reflecting the non-essential and hit-driven nature of the products and services offered. Additionally, five-year CAGR starts around Covid, when revenue was depressed then rebounded.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within consumer discretionary, product cycles are short and revenue can be hit-driven due to rapidly changing trends and consumer preferences. Lovesac’s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its revenue was flat over the last two years.

This quarter, Lovesac reported modest year-on-year revenue growth of 2.7% but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 2.5%. Company management is currently guiding for a 1.7% year-on-year decline in sales next quarter.

Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 4.9% over the next 12 months. While this projection indicates its newer products and services will catalyze better top-line performance, it is still below the sector average.

Operating Margin

Operating margin is a key measure of profitability. Think of it as net income - the bottom line - excluding the impact of taxes and interest on debt, which are less connected to business fundamentals.

Lovesac’s operating margin has shrunk over the last 12 months and averaged 1.4% over the last two years. The company’s profitability was mediocre for a consumer discretionary business and shows it couldn’t pass its higher operating expenses onto its customers.

This quarter, Lovesac generated an operating margin profit margin of 18.1%, down 1.6 percentage points year on year. This reduction is quite minuscule and indicates the company’s overall cost structure has been relatively stable.

Earnings Per Share

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Sadly for Lovesac, its EPS declined by 20.1% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew by 16.8%. We can see the difference stemmed from higher interest expenses or taxes as the company actually improved its operating margin and repurchased its shares during this time.

In Q4, Lovesac reported EPS of $2.19, up from $2.13 in the same quarter last year. This print beat analysts’ estimates by 7.2%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Lovesac’s full-year EPS of $0.28 to grow 84.1%.

Key Takeaways from Lovesac’s Q4 Results

We were impressed by Lovesac’s optimistic EBITDA guidance for next quarter, which blew past analysts’ expectations. We were also happy its revenue outperformed Wall Street’s estimates. On the other hand, its full-year EBITDA guidance missed and its revenue guidance for next quarter fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this was a mixed quarter, but it seems like expectations were low and a relief rally is ensuing. The stock traded up 18.8% to $13.16 immediately following the results.

So do we think Lovesac is an attractive buy at the current price? When making that decision, it’s important to consider its valuation, business qualities, as well as what has happened in the latest quarter. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here (it’s free).
