Company Overview
Known for its oversized, premium beanbags, Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE) is a specialty furniture brand selling modular furniture.
Revenue Growth
A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, Lovesac grew its sales at a 12.3% annual 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’s $161.2 million of revenue was flat year on year and in line with Wall Street’s estimates. Company management is currently guiding for a 3.4% year-on-year decline in sales next quarter.
Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 5.8% over the next 12 months. While this projection implies its newer products and services will fuel better top-line performance, it is still below average for the sector.

Operating Margin
Lovesac’s operating margin has generally stayed the same over the last 12 months, and we generally like to see margin increases due to economies of scale and cost efficiency over time.
In Q2, Lovesac generated an operating margin profit margin of 6.8%, up 12.3 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient.
Earnings Per Share
Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth — for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.
Sadly for Lovesac, its EPS declined by 11% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew by 12.3%. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded due to non-fundamental factors such as interest expenses and taxes.
In Q2, Lovesac reported EPS of $0.51, up from negative $0.45 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts’ estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Lovesac’s full-year EPS to shrink by 68.2% from $1.22 to $0.39.
Key Takeaways from Lovesac’s Q2 Results
It was good to see Lovesac beat analysts’ EPS expectations this quarter. We were also happy its EBITDA outperformed Wall Street’s estimates. On the other hand, its full-year EBITDA guidance missed and its EBITDA guidance for next quarter fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this quarter could have been better. The stock traded down 12.7% to $14 immediately following the results.
Lovesac didn’t show its best hand this quarter, but does that create an opportunity to buy the stock right now?
