Exhibit 99.1

At Home Group Inc. Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Results

Net sales of $537.1 million and a comparable store sales increase of 187.3%

EPS of $0.81 and adjusted EPS¹ of $0.87

Files preliminary proxy in connection with pending transaction and issues separate press release outlining financial projections through fiscal 2026

Plano, Texas, June 2, 2021 -- At Home Group Inc. (NYSE: HOME), the home décor superstore, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended May 1, 2021.

For the Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 2021

The Company opened nine and closed two stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, ending the quarter with 226 stores in 40 states. The Company opened a net eight stores since the first quarter of fiscal 2021, representing a 3.7% increase.

Net sales increased 182.9% to $537.1 million from $189.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Comparable store sales increased 187.3% driven by strong demand, including approximately $45 million of estimated sales benefit attributable to stimulus payments not expected to recur in future quarters and the continued execution of our strategic initiatives. Reported comparable store sales in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021 were (46.5%) and 42.3% respectively. Adjusting for the calendar shift as a result of the 53rd week in fiscal year 2021, comparable store sales in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021 would have been approximately 300 basis points lower and 800 basis points higher, respectively, largely due to the impact of temporary store closures during those periods related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit was $200.3 million compared to $16.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross margin was 37.3% compared to 8.6% in the prior year period primarily due to occupancy, depreciation, freight and distribution center expense leverage as a result of increased net sales and, to a lesser extent, product margin expansion. The Company continues to expect increased freight costs to significantly impact gross margin in the second half of fiscal 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased 63.3% to $108.5 million from $66.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 20.2% from 35.0% in the prior year period primarily due to expense leverage as a result of increased sales.

Operating income was $89.4 million compared to a loss of $(372.1) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 that included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $319.7 million. Adjusted operating income¹ increased to $90.0 million from a loss of $(52.3) million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin¹ increased to 16.8% from (27.6)% driven by the gross margin and SG&A factors described above.

Interest expense increased to $8.1 million from $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to interest incurred on our 8.750% senior secured notes and $35.0 million term loan tranche (the “FILO Loans”), and partially offset by interest avoided by the repayment of our term loan and no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”).

Income tax expense was $19.7 million, and our effective tax rate was 25.9%. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, income tax benefit was $20.1 million, and our effective tax rate was 5.3%.

Net income was $56.3 million compared to a loss of $(358.9) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted Net Income¹ was $60.7 million compared to a loss of $(39.2) million in the prior year period.

EPS was $0.81 compared to $(5.60) in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and adjusted EPS¹ was $0.87 compared to $(0.61) in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $110.6 million compared to $(14.6) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Balance Sheet Highlights as of May 1, 2021

The Company had $150.5 million of cash and no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility compared to $43.6 million of cash and $342.0 million of borrowings as of April 25, 2020. Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was $325.2 million, inclusive of $35.0 million of minimum required availability.

Net inventories decreased 9.3% to $369.0 million from $407.0 million as of April 25, 2020.

Long-term debt was $308.6 million compared to $334.2 million as of April 25, 2020. On April 30, 2021, the Company repaid in full the FILO Loans for $34.6 million, including a $2.0 million prepayment premium, which resulted in a $5.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

Subsequent Events

On May 6, 2021, the Company announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by funds affiliated with Hellman & Friedman LLC (“the transaction”). Under the terms of the agreement, At Home stockholders will receive $36.00 per share in cash.

Upon completion of the transaction, At Home will become a privately-held company and At Home’s shares will no longer trade on The New York Stock Exchange.

Outlook and At Home Preliminary Proxy Filing Regarding Pending Transaction

In a separate press release issued today, At Home announced the filing of its preliminary proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the transaction. Among other things, the preliminary proxy and press release include the Company’s financial projections through fiscal 2026.

Conference Call

Due to the pending transaction, the Company will not host a conference call to review the first quarter fiscal 2022 financial results.

Terminology

We define certain terms used in this release as follows:

“Adjusted EBITDA” means net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items as defined in our debt agreements, including certain legal settlements and consulting and other professional fees, stock-based compensation expense, impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on sale-leaseback, non-cash rent and other adjustments.

“Adjusted Net Income” means net income (loss), adjusted for impairment charges, (gain) loss on sale-leaseback, loss on extinguishment of debt, payroll tax expenses and the income tax associated with initial public offering non-cash stock-based compensation expense (the “IPO Grant”) and other adjustments.

“Adjusted operating income” means operating income (loss), adjusted for impairment charges, (gain) loss on sale-leaseback, payroll tax expenses associated with IPO Grant stock option exercises and other adjustments.

“Adjusted operating margin” means adjusted operating income (loss) divided by net sales.

“Adjusted SG&A” means selling, general and administrative expenses adjusted for certain expenses, including payroll tax expenses associated with IPO Grant stock option exercises and other adjustments.

“Comparable store sales” means, for any reporting period, the change in period-over-period net sales for the comparable store base. A store is included in the comparable store sales calculation on the first day of the sixteenth full fiscal month following the store’s opening, which is when we believe comparability is achieved. When a store is being relocated or remodeled, we exclude sales from that store in the calculation of comparable store sales until the first day of the sixteenth full fiscal month after it reopens. Sales resulting from our omnichannel initiatives occur at the store level and are included in the calculation of comparable store sales.

“EPS” means diluted earnings (loss) per share.

“GAAP” means accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

“Leverage ratio” means Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months.

“Net Debt” includes long-term debt, borrowing under the ABL revolving credit facility, and current portion of long-term debt and financing obligations, less unamortized deferred debt issuance cost and cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt excludes operating lease liabilities recognized in accordance with ASC 842 Leases.

“Adjusted EPS” means Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

“Store-level Adjusted EBITDA” means Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted further to exclude the impact of costs associated with new store openings and certain corporate overhead expenses that we do not consider in our evaluation of the ongoing operating performance of our stores from period to period.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain financial measures presented in this release, such as leverage ratio, Net Debt, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, Adjusted Net Income, adjusted EPS and Store-level Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, “non-GAAP financial measures”), are not presented in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used by our management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We present leverage ratio and Net Debt because we believe that investors find these metrics useful in evaluating our overall liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. In addition to covenant compliance, we use Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. We use Store-level Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the performance and profitability of each of our stores, individually and in the aggregate, especially given the level of investments we have made in our home office and infrastructure over the past eight years to support future growth. We also believe that Store-level Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure in evaluating our operating performance because it removes the impact of general and administrative expenses, which are not incurred at the store level, and the costs of opening new stores, which are non-recurring at the store level, and thereby enables the comparability of the operating performance of our stores during the period. We use Store-level Adjusted EBITDA information to benchmark our performance versus competitors. Store-level Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for consolidated measures of profitability of performance because it does not reflect corporate overhead expenses that are necessary to allow us to effectively operate our stores and generate Store-level Adjusted EBITDA. We present adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, Adjusted Net Income and adjusted EPS because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

You are encouraged to evaluate these non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.

(a)

Includes the portion of depreciation and amortization expenses that are classified as cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(b)

For the thirteen weeks ended April 25, 2020, represents a non-cash impairment charge of $319.7 million related to full impairment of goodwill.

(c)

Primarily consists of other transaction costs, including $0.5 million in costs related to the pending merger with Hellman & Friedman LLC during the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021.

(d)

Non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the ongoing equity incentive program that we have in place to incentivize, retain and motivate our employees, officers, consultants and non-employee directors.

(e)

Consists of the non-cash portion of rent, which reflects the extent to which our GAAP straight-line rent expense recognized exceeds or is less than our cash rent payments. The GAAP straight-line rent expense adjustment can vary depending on the average age of our lease portfolio, which has been impacted by our significant growth. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments while for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments. During the thirteen weeks ended April 25, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we began renegotiating leases to include significant deferrals which resulted in higher non-cash rent expense.

(f)

Other adjustments include amounts our management believes are not representative of our ongoing operations.

(g)

Reflects non-capital expenditures associated with opening new stores, including marketing and advertising, labor and cash occupancy expenses. Costs related to new store openings represent cash costs, and you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are similar to these costs. We anticipate that we will continue to incur cash costs as we open new stores in the future. We opened nine and six new stores during the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 and April 25, 2020, respectively.

(h)

Reflects corporate overhead expenses, which are not directly related to the profitability of our stores, to facilitate comparisons of store operating performance as we do not consider these corporate overhead expenses when evaluating the ongoing performance of our stores from period to period. Corporate overhead expenses, which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, are comprised of various home office general and administrative expenses such as payroll expenses, occupancy costs, marketing and advertising, and consulting and professional fees.
