Although unit sales increased 12.3%, a 16.7% decrease in the average unit selling price contributed to the overall dollar sales decline. The sales decrease was due primarily to the phase out of Polo for Boys and lower than planned shipments of private label apparel during the quarter. Cost of goods sold increased to 81.9% of net sales in the current quarter from 79.8% in the prior year. The shift in sales mix caused by the loss of Polo with its higher gross margin and the addition of Next Day with its lower gross margin was the primary cause for the relative increase in cost of goods sold. Gross margin was also negatively impacted by continued underabsorbed costs on several offshore manufacturing start-ups and plant expansions initiated last year. This underabsorption is expected to diminish in subsequent quarters as these plants emerge from the start-up phase and begin to contribute to profitability. Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) decreased both in absolute terms and as a percent of net sales. The decline is attributed to the absence of Polo with its higher S,G&A expense levels and the addition of Next Day with its lower S,G&A expense levels. Interest expense increased from 0.4% of net sales in the prior year to 0.5% of net sales in the current year. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.0% in the prior year and 38.0% in the current year and does not differ significantly from the Company's statutory rates. Segment Results Oxford Shirt Group Sales for the Oxford Shirt Group decreased 31.0% to $61,305,000 due primarily to the absence of the Polo for Boys business. Average unit selling price declined 4.6% and unit sales decreased 27.8%. Oxford Shirtings and Tommy Hilfiger Dress Shirts posted sales declines. Tommy Hilfiger Golf had a sales gain and OxSport and Ely & Walker were essentially flat. Profitability was significantly impacted by the loss of Polo. Operating profit declined 42.3% to $4,768,000 or 7.8% of net sales. Underabsorbed manufacturing costs at the new plants in Mexico and Honduras also contributed to the earnings shortfall. Operating expenses declined both in absolute terms and as a percentage of net sales. Lanier Clothes Lanier Clothes reported first quarter sales of $35,949,000 down 18.0% from last year's total of $43,856,000. For the group, unit sales decreased 14.9% and the average unit selling price decreased 3.7%. The sales decline was concentrated in the private label divisions, particularly among the direct mail and national chain customers. Branded sales were up, led by the Nautica Tailored Clothing division. Group operating profit declined 20.3% to $2,451,000 from $3,075,000 last year. Operating expenses decreased but were a higher percentage of sales due to the sales decline. Start-up costs for the new plant in Honduras also hurt profitability. Operating margin declined to 6.8% from 7.0% last year. Oxford Slacks Group Oxford Slacks posted a first quarter sales decline of $3,567,000 or 13.3% to $23,327,000. This decline was the result of an 11.0% decrease in the number of units shipped and a 2.5% decrease in the average unit selling price. Weaknesses in the Specialty Catalog, Young Men's and Mature Men's divisions were responsible for the sales decline. Group operating profit decreased by 42.4% to $1,253,000 for the quarter. Profitability was negatively impacted by the sales decline and start-up expenses for the new plant in the Dominican Republic. Operating margin declined to 5.4% from 8.1% last year. Oxford Womenswear Group First quarter net sales for the Oxford Womenswear Group increased 69.0% to $65,117,000. Unit sales increased 66.3% and average unit selling price increased 1.6%. Though a majority of the sales gain was attributable to the acquisition of Next Day Apparel, sales excluding Next Day increased by 8.0% for the quarter. The Sportswear Separates and Sportswear Collections divisions posted sales gains. Group operating profit increased 377.9% to $2,662,000 or 4.1% of net sales. The group continues to benefit from the leveraging of expenses over a higher sales base. FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS Last year's record sales and earnings will make for another difficult quarterly comparison. The Company expects second quarter sales and earnings declines comparable to those in the first quarter. The Company remains optimistic that more favorable quarterly comparisons in the second half, beginning in December, are achievable. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Operating Activities Operating activities used $1,932,000 in the first quarter of the current year and $28,088,000 in the same period of the prior year. The primary factors contributing to the change in the amount of funds used was a smaller increase in receivables in the current year, and a decrease in inventory in the current year compared to a slight increase in the prior year offset by a larger decrease in trade payables than in the prior year. Investing Activities Investing activities used $2,137,000 in the first quarter of the prior year and $1,268,000 in the first quarter of the current year. The change in investing activities was due to a slight decrease in the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Financing Activities Financing activities generated $2,072,000 in the first quarter of the current year and $24,328,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The primary factors contributing to this change in the funds generated was a smaller increase in short-term borrowing in the current year, slightly offset by decreased amounts used to purchase and retire common stock. On October 4, 1999 the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, payable on November 27, 1999 to shareholders of record on November 15, 1999. During the quarter, the Company purchased and retired 225,000 shares of the Company's common stock acquired in the open market. Working Capital Working capital declined from $164,447,000 at the end of the first quarter of the prior year to $154,734,000 at the end of the 1999 fiscal year and decreased to $149,981,000 at the end of the first quarter of the current year. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.3 at the end of the first quarter of the prior year, 2.2 at the end of the 1999 fiscal year and 2.1 at the end of the first quarter of the current year. FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company believes it has the ability to generate cash and/or has available borrowing capacity to meet its foreseeable needs. The sources of funds primarily include funds provided by operations and both short-term and long-term borrowings. The uses of funds primarily include working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases, dividends and repayment of short-term and long-term debt. The Company regularly utilizes committed bank lines of credit and other uncommitted bank resources to meet working capital requirements. On August 27, 1999 the Company had available for its use lines of credit with several lenders aggregating $52,000,000. The Company has agreed to pay commitment fees for these available lines of credit. On August 27, 1999, $52,000,000 was in use under these lines, of which $40,000,000 was long-term. In addition, the Company has $226,500,000 in uncommitted lines of credit, of which $128,500,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit. The Company pays no commitment fees for these available lines of credit. On August 27, 1999, $30,500,000 was in use under these lines of credit. Maximum borrowings from all these sources during the current year were $82,500,000 of which $40,000,000 was long-term. The Company anticipates continued use and availability of both committed and uncommitted resources as working capital needs may require. The Company considers possible acquisitions of apparel- related businesses that are compatible with its long-term strategies. The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on the open market and in negotiated trades as conditions and opportunities warrant. There are no present plans to sell securities (other than through employee stock option plans and other employee benefits) or enter into off-balance sheet financing arrangements. YEAR 2000 UPDATE The Company is continuing to assess the effects of the Year 2000 issue on its information systems. The Year 2000 issue, which is common to most businesses, concerns the inability of information systems to properly recognize and process dates and date sensitive information on and beyond January 1, 2000. In 1996, the Company began a Company-wide assessment of the vulnerability of its systems to the Year 2000 issue. Based on such assessment, the Company has developed a Year 2000 compliance plan, under which all primary information systems have been tested, and non-compliant software or technology has been modified or replaced. The Company is continuing to survey the Year 2000 compliance status and compatibility of customers and suppliers systems which interface with the Company's systems or could otherwise impact the Company's operations. (As the Company adds new customers and suppliers constantly, this portion of the review will be on-going.) The company also continues to evaluate, test, or replace all secondary systems (e.g. alarm systems, computer controlled equipment). While the Company currently believes it will be able to modify or replace all affected systems in ample time to minimize any detrimental effects on its operations, failure to do so, or the failure of the Company's major customers and suppliers to modify or replace their affected systems, could have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or consolidated financial positions in the future. The most reasonably likely worst case scenario of failure by the Company or its customers or suppliers to resolve the Year 2000 issue would be a temporary slow down or cessation of manufacturing operations at one or more of the Company's facilities and a temporary inability on the part of the Company to timely process orders and billings and to deliver finished product to customers. The Company is considering various contingency options, including identification of alternate suppliers, vendors and service providers, and manual alternatives to systems operation, which will allow the Company to minimize the risks of any unresolved Year 2000 problems on its operations, and to minimize the effect of any unforeseen Year 2000 failures. The Company currently estimates the incremental cost of the work needed to resolve the Year 2000 issue, since the inception of the project in 1996 to its completion, to be approximately $1,600,000. These costs are being expensed as incurred.
