J.Jill, Inc. (NYSE:JILL) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 and that the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share payable on April 16, 2025 to stockholders of record of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of April 2, 2025. 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."

For the fourth quarter ended February 1, 2025:

Balance Sheet Highlights

*Non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “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 Flow” for more information.

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

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:

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:

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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains, and oral statements made from time to time by our representatives may contain, “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management, expected market growth and any activities, events or developments that we intend, expect or believe may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements are often identified by words such as “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “projects,” “goal,” “target” (although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words) and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding capital market conditions, our business, the economy and other future conditions and are not guarantees of future performance.

As a result, our 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 any forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, including risks regarding: (1) our sensitivity to changes in economic conditions and discretionary consumer spending; (2) the material adverse impact of pandemics, other health crises or natural disasters on our operations, business and financial results; (3) our ability to anticipate and respond to changing customer preferences, shifts in fashion and industry trends in a timely manner; (4) our ability to maintain our brand image, engage new and existing customers and gain market share; (5) the impact of operating in a highly competitive industry with increased competition; (6) our ability to successfully optimize our omnichannel operations, including our ability to enhance our marketing efforts and successfully realize the benefits from our investments in new technology, for example our recently implemented point-of-sale system and the forthcoming upgrade to our order management system; (7) our ability to use effective marketing strategies and increase existing and new customer traffic; (8) any interruptions in our foreign sourcing operations and the relationships with our suppliers and agents; (9) any increases in the demand for, or the price of, raw materials used to manufacture our merchandise and other fluctuations in sourcing and distribution costs; (10) any material damage or interruptions to our information systems; (11) our ability to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights; (12) our indebtedness restricting our operational and financial flexibility; (13) our ability to manage our inventory levels, size assortments and merchandise mix; (14) the fact that we are no longer a controlled company; (15) the impact of any new or increased tariffs; (16) our management succession plan; and (17) other factors that may be described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 28, 2024. You are encouraged to read our filings with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
