Dollar Tree

I am continuing to look at the non-food discounter sector and have carried out a small financial analysis in order to better assess the market situation.

Dollar General $DG (+1,64%) and Dollar Tree $DLTR (+4,98%) are clearly the heavyweights in the US market. Both have sales of over 30 billion dollars and are positive. However, compared to their competitors Dollarama $DOL (-0,51%) only have a tiny profit margin.

The share prices of US companies have also fallen sharply in recent months. The US market is struggling with problems. Inflation and high costs are leading to smaller profit margins and poor future forecasts. Another major issue is the threat of tariffs on China, which is depressing share prices.

Dollarama, on the other hand, is a Canadian company and has at least nothing to do with China tariffs. The majority of the stores are located in Canada and South America, here under the Dollercity brand. The profit margins are really impressive for a "1 dollar store" and that is why the share has performed so extremely in recent months. Over the year, the share price has risen by 48%.

In my opinion, there is potential for further growth as the company continues to expand, especially in South America. South America is an exciting market for me anyway.

Of course, there is also a large network of non-food discount stores in the USA. With Dollar Tree ($DLTR (+4,98%)), Dollar General ($DG (+1,64%)) and Five Below ($FIVE (-2,19%)), there are at least three listed companies. I have also included the off-price retailer TJX Companies, better known here as TK Maxx, on the list.

In FY2023, the leading non-food discounters Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Five Below and TJX Companies posted respectable sales and solid EBITDA performance, indicating robust demand and their efficiency strategies.

Dollar Tree generated sales of USD 30.6 billion and EBITDA of USD 3.004 billion. The discount giant was able to increase its performance through a broad product range and a successful store network.

Dollar General achieved the highest sales in this group with USD 37.8 billion and an EBITDA of USD 4 billion. The company benefited from its extensive presence and a strong price-performance strategy that appeals to price-conscious customers.

Five Below achieved sales of USD 3.1 billion and EBITDA of USD 516 million. Focusing on young customer groups and inexpensive trend articles, the company recorded further growth, albeit at a lower sales level than its established competitors.

TJX Companies, the parent company of TK Maxx, reported sales of USD 49.9 billion and the highest EBITDA in the Group at USD 6.1 billion. With off-price offers and an established brand, TJX was able to further expand its leading position in the market for affordable fashion and household goods.

You can invest directly in all companies. It is interesting to note that the asset managers Black Rock and Vanguard are invested in all US companies, in some cases with considerable stakes.

Dollar Tree $DLTR (+4,98%) CEO Rick Dreiling steps down as Chairman and CEO due to health concerns. COO Michael Creedon Jr. steps in as interim CEO, while Edward Kelly becomes Chairman. The company remains on track with its Q3 guidance, noting that same-store sales have “tracked well” and expressing optimism for the upcoming holiday season.

Dollar Tree also reports strong progress on its strategic review of Family Dollar, exploring options like a sale or spin-off. They aim to complete this process with ongoing input from advisors. Additionally, Dollar Tree's board is actively searching for a permanent CEO, considering both internal and external candidates.

Creedon, who joined Dollar Tree in 2022 and expanded his oversight this year, expressed confidence in the company’s current direction, stating, "We’re excited about our trajectory and committed to finding the best path for Family Dollar.”

🔸 Generated $307 million in net cash from operating activities.

🔸 Repurchased 0.75 million shares for $90.8 million.

CEO Rick Dreiling's Commentary:

🔸 "We are encouraged by the continuous progress we are making in the transformation underway at Dollar Tree and Family Dollar, despite immense pressures from a challenging macro environment. Customers are responding favorably to initiatives like our expanded multi-price offering and we are already seeing a meaningful sales lift at the 1,600 Dollar Tree stores that have been converted to our newest in-line multi-price format."

CFO Jeff Davis' Insight:

🔸 "Our adjusted EPS of $0.67 was $0.38 below the midpoint of our previous outlook range. While the vast majority of this variance was attributable to an adjustment of our general liability accrual, a portion was attributable to a comp shortfall which reflected the increasing effect of macro pressures on the purchasing behavior of Dollar Tree’s middle- and higher-income customers."

Strategic Updates:

🔸 Ongoing review of strategic alternatives for the Family Dollar business segment, including potential sale, spin-off, or other disposition.

🔸 Implemented a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review, resulting in the closure of approximately 655 underperforming Family Dollar stores, with plans to close an additional 45 stores by the end of FY2024.

🔸 Tornado damage at the Marietta, Oklahoma distribution center led to $117M in losses, fully offset by insurance recoveries.

Revised FY2024 Outlook:

🔸 The updated full-year guidance reflects Q2 results, a more conservative sales outlook, incremental conversion costs for recently acquired 99 Cents Only Stores leases, and higher depreciation and amortization expenses.

In the picture: OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is an organization of 13 oil-producing countries based in Vienna, Austria. Key member countries include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela and the United Arab Emirates.

OPEC's main task is to coordinate the production volumes of its member countries in order to influence the global oil market and oil prices. By setting production quotas, OPEC can control supply and demand on the oil market and thus influence prices. This power enables the organization to exert both economic and political influence, which can have a global impact.
