Sales Decline: Tandy's 2023 sales fell 5.1% to $76.2 million, mainly due to continued weak consumer demand and store closures.
Profitability Up: Operating income rose by $3 million to $4.4 million, driven by improved gross margin and a 9.7% reduction in operating expenses.
Gross Margin Improvement: Gross margin rate improved by 130 basis points, benefiting from lower freight and warehouse costs, better full-price selling, and product mix shifts.
Strong Cash Position: Cash increased by over $4 million to $12.2 million, with no debt and flat inventory year-over-year.
New Store Model: The company opened a new, smaller-format store in Queens and plans to open 2 more soon, focusing on a full-service model to leverage in-store expertise.
Conservative Approach: Management emphasized disciplined capital allocation, a cautious balance sheet, and growing long-term shareholder value.
2024 Outlook: The focus will remain on profitability, cash, and opening 3 to 5 new stores; the sale of the Fort Worth property is also being explored.
