IRVING, Texas, Aug. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Michaels Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIK) today announced financial results for the quarter ended August 2, 2014.
Chuck Rubin, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased to build on our solid start to fiscal 2014 with another quarter of strong performance. Broad-based sales strength was accompanied by healthy margins and our characteristic expense discipline, even as we invested in our strategic initiatives."
"We are in the implementation phase of our multi-year strategic plan which is designed to not only improve the experience of our core enthusiast shopper but also to attract the under-served novice customer to Michaels, enabling us to further extend our leadership position within the fragmented arts and crafts industry," Mr. Rubin continued.
Mr. Rubin concluded, "We enter the back half of 2014 confident in our business, our outlook and our initiatives. While we will be lapping the huge success of Rainbow Loom, the Michaels' team is enthusiastic, energized and aligned on our priorities to serving our customers and maximizing our sales and margin performance."

Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes non-GAAP measures including Adjusted EBITDA, operating income excluding IPO and related party/sponsor expenses ("Adjusted operating income,") net income excluding IPO, related party/sponsor fees and refinancing expenses ("Adjusted net income,") weighted average shares outstanding assuming the IPO shares had been outstanding the entire period and adjusting for the anti-dilutive impact of equity awards ("Adjusted shares outstanding") and earnings per share excluding IPO, related party/sponsor fees, refinancing expenses and including adjusted shares outstanding ("Adjusted earnings per share.") The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in a table accompanying this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of the Company's business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of its quarterly and fiscal year 2014 diluted earnings per common share and actual results on a comparable basis with its quarterly and fiscal year 2013 results. In evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses or be involved in transactions that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these items differently than it does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the effect of economic uncertainty, risks associated with our substantial outstanding indebtedness of $3.4 billion, changes in customer demand, risks relating to our data breach or our failure to adequately maintain security and prevent unauthorized access to electronic and other confidential information, increased competition, including internet-based competition, from other retailers, risks relating to our reliance on foreign suppliers, risks relating to how well we manage our business, risks related to our ability to open new stores and increase comparable store sales growth, damage to the reputation of the Michaels brand or our private and exclusive brands, and events that may affect our financial operations in the fourth quarter.

If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company's assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this news release speaks only as of the date on which the Company makes it.
