J.Jill, Inc.

The quarterly dividend reflects a 14.3% increase over the previous dividend and equates to an annualized dividend rate of $0.32 per common share.

Claire Spofford, President and Chief Executive Officer of J.Jill, Inc. stated, "Fiscal 2024 performance is a testament to our disciplined operating model as we delivered on our objectives while strengthening our balance sheet, implementing robust total shareholder return strategies and investing in new store growth and systems. Although this year was not without challenges as we continued to navigate a dynamic macro environment, I am proud of all that the team has accomplished enabling us to continue to drive strong cash generation supporting the recent increase of the quarterly dividend and ongoing investment in growth strategies and capital priorities. As we enter fiscal 2025, despite the uncertain outlook near-term with the slow start to Q1 and continued price sensitivity from customers, I am confident in the team's ability to continue to operate with discipline while positioning the brand for long-term success. With the implementation of the new Order Management System underway, a pipeline of new stores building and new leadership with Mary Ellen Coyne joining later this spring, there is much to look forward to as J.Jill enters its next chapter well positioned to lean into growth."

Share Repurchase Authorization

On December 6, 2024, J.Jill's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $25.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock over the next two years. The program is expected to be funded through the Company's existing cash and future free cash flow. The timing of any repurchases and the number of shares repurchased are subject to the discretion of Board of Directors and may be affected by various factors, including general market and economic conditions, the market price of the Company's common stock, the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and levels of indebtedness, legal requirements, and other factors that management may deem relevant. The share repurchase program authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any shares of its common stock and may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares may be repurchased from time to time through open market transactions, block trades, or such other manner as the Company may determine, in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and share repurchase parameters determined by the Board.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company purchased 19,831 shares of common stock and has $24.5 million of availability remaining under its stock repurchase authorization.

Quarterly Dividend Payment

On December 4, 2024, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share, payable on January 9, 2025 to stockholders of record of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of December 26, 2024.

Outlook

For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company expects:

Net sales to decline 1% to 4% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024
Comparable Sales to decline 2% to 5% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024
Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $25.0 million to $27.0 million

The above outlook reflects the most difficult quarterly comparison and contemplates the negative revenue impacts from adverse weather in February and approximately $1.5 million related to the initial phase of OMS implementation.

For the full year fiscal 2025, the Company expects:

Net Sales to be up 1% to 3% compared to fiscal 2024
Comparable Sales to be in the range of flat to up 2% compared to fiscal 2024
Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $101.0 million to $106.0 million
New Net Store Growth of 5 to 10 stores
Total Capital Expenditures of approximately $25.0 million
Free Cash Flow of about $40.0 million.

The above outlook contemplates factors described above in Q1 fiscal 2025 as well as the expected benefit from new store openings and new omni-channel capabilities from the OMS implementation in the second half of fiscal 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we use the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance:

Adjusted EBITDA, which represents net income plus depreciation and amortization, income tax provision, interest expense, interest expense - related party, interest income, equity-based compensation expense, write-off of property and equipment, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on debt refinancing, adjustment for exited retail stores, impairment of long-lived assets, gain/loss due to hurricane, and other non-recurring items, primarily consisting of non-ordinary course professional fees, non-employee share-based payments, and legal settlements and fees associated with certain non-recurring transactions and events. We present Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance of our business and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations. Further, we recognize Adjusted EBITDA as a commonly used measure in determining business value and as such, use it internally to report results. We also use Adjusted EBITDA margin which represents, for any period, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted Income from Operations, which represents operating income plus equity-based compensation expense, write-off of property and equipment, adjustment for exited retail stores, impairment of long-lived assets, gain/loss due to hurricane, and other non-recurring items. We present Adjusted Income from Operations because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period.
Adjusted Net Income, which represents net income plus income tax provision, equity-based compensation expense, write-off of property and equipment, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on debt refinancing, adjustment for exited retail stores, impairment of long-lived assets, gain/loss due to hurricane, and other non-recurring items. We present Adjusted Net Income because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period.
Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share is presented as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating performance from period to period.
Free Cash Flow represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is presented as a supplemental measure in assessing our liquidity, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative liquidity and operating performance from period to period.

While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are useful in evaluating our business, they are non-GAAP financial measures that have limitations as analytical tools. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered alternatives to, or substitutes for, Net Income, Income from Operations, Net Income per Diluted Share or Cash from Operations, which are calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of such non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. We recommend that you review the reconciliation and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow to Net Income, Income from Operations, Net Income per Diluted Share and Cash from Operations, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, under "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA", "Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Income to Adjusted Income from Operations", "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income" and "Reconciliation of GAAP Cash from Operations to Free Cash Flows" and not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow or any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
