Oxford Industries Reports First Quarter Results
Announces 81% Increase in First Quarter EPS
Raises Guidance for Fiscal 2010
ATLANTA, GA Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2010 first quarter ended May 1, 2010. Consolidated net sales were $217.8 million compared to $216.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Diluted net earnings per common share were $0.76 compared to $0.42 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
J. Hicks Lanier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Oxford Industries, Inc., commented, Our first quarter results are solid by any measure. Increased consumer demand at both our own stores and those of our wholesale customers drove stronger than expected sales. In our retail stores, we achieved healthy comparable store sales. On the wholesale side, our customers had initially booked Spring 2010 very conservatively and finished 2009 with very lean inventories. As they began to experience positive sales trends during Holiday 2009 and the early part of this year, many of them scrambled to try to re-build inventories to what we believe are more normalized levels. We did everything we could to service these customers and, as a result, some sales originally planned for our second quarter shipped in the first quarter. With increased gross margins across the Company, we were able to leverage the additional sales into a respectable bottom line result of $0.76 per share despite a modest increase in SG&A that primarily resulted from the resumption of our performance-based bonus plan which we had suspended for fiscal 2009.
Looking forward, we continue to anticipate a steady recovery in the business and are increasing our guidance for the year to net sales of $790 to $805 million and EPS of $1.70 to $1.80. On the retail side, we expect to see continued positive comp store sales for the balance of the year. On the wholesale side, second quarter sales will be impacted by the sales our customers pulled forward into the first quarter. Excluding the impact of
businesses we exited, we generally expect to see continued steady sales improvement through the year. For the second quarter we expect net sales of $175 to $185 million and EPS of $0.30 to $0.35.
Mr. Lanier continued, While there is still significant uncertainty in the economy, we are pleased with our first quarter results and the improved trajectory of our business. The steps we took last year to protect our brands, mitigate risks and aggressively reduce our expense structure are paying off for our shareholders.
Operating Results
Tommy Bahama reported net sales of $109.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $98.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in sales was due to increases in both the direct to consumer and wholesale channels of distribution, as the retail environment improved. Tommy Bahamas operating income for the first quarter was $17.9 million compared to $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2009. The increase in operating income was due to increased sales, improved gross margins and higher royalty income, partially offset by increases in SG&A.
Ben Sherman reported net sales of $22.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $24.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in sales was primarily due to the exit and subsequent licensing of the footwear and kids businesses and the exit from the womens operations, partially offset by a 5.6% increase in the average exchange rate of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar and higher retail sales. Ben Sherman reported operating income of $0.5 million in the first quarter compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2009. The increase in operating income was primarily due to increased gross margins, reduced SG&A and increased royalty income.
Net sales for Lanier Clothes were $30.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $31.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in sales was due to Lanier Clothes exit from certain businesses resulting in close-out sales in the first quarter of last year. This decline was partially offset by higher sales levels in its owned and licensed branded businesses resulting from the improved retail environment. For the quarter, Lanier Clothes reported operating income of $4.4 million compared to operating income of $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in operating income was primarily due to increased gross margins partially offset by increased SG&A.
Oxford Apparel reported net sales of $56.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $63.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in sales was primarily due to Oxford Apparels exit from certain businesses resulting in close-out sales in the first quarter of last year. The decrease was partially offset by the impact of the improved retail environment. Operating income for Oxford Apparel increased to $6.0 million for the first quarter compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily due to decreased SG&A and improved gross margins.
The Corporate and Other operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $7.3 million compared to an operating loss of $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in the operating loss was due to increased SG&A resulting from increased incentive compensation and severance related costs. The first quarter of fiscal 2010 included a LIFO accounting charge of $0.7 million compared to a LIFO accounting charge of $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Consolidated gross margins for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased to 46.7% from 41.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Tommy Bahama sales, which generally have higher gross margins than the Companys other operating groups, increased in total and as a proportion of consolidated sales. All other operating groups also had improved gross margins in the first quarter.
SG&A for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased to $83.8 million, or 38.5% of net sales, from $78.7 million, or 36.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in SG&A was due primarily to costs associated with the Companys resumption of its incentive compensation program, which is tied to financial performance. The increase was also due to severance related costs.
Royalties and other operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $3.8 million compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to increased royalty income in both Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman as sales reported by certain licensees increased and new licensees were added.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity
As of May 1, 2010, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its U.S. revolving credit facility and $18.8 million of cash. The Companys anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 2010, including $1.6 million incurred during the first quarter, are expected to be approximately $15 million. These expenditures are expected to consist primarily of additional retail stores and the costs associated with investment in certain technology initiatives.
Outlook for Fiscal 2010
The Company increased its full year outlook for sales and EPS. For fiscal 2010, it expects diluted earnings per share in a range of $1.70 to $1.80 and net sales of $790 to $805 million. This compares to the Companys prior guidance of $1.40 to $1.50 in diluted earnings per share and net sales of $760 to $775 million.
For the second quarter, ending on July 31, 2010, the Company anticipates sales in a range from $175 to $185 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.30 to $0.35.

This press release may include statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Generally, the words believe, expect, intend, estimate, anticipate, project, will and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. We intend for all forward-looking statements contained herein or on our website, and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995).
