CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Our SEC filings and public announcements may include forward-looking statements about future events. 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, in our press releases 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). Important assumptions relating to these forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding the impact of economic conditions on consumer demand and spending, demand for our products, timing and cost of shipments requested by our wholesale customers, expected pricing levels, competitive conditions, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, costs of products and raw materials we purchase, access to capital and/or credit markets, costs of labor, expected outcomes of pending or potential litigation and regulatory actions and disciplined execution by key management. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations, based on currently available information, and are not guarantees of performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations could prove inaccurate as such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Important factors relating to these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, as updated by Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.

 

We caution that one should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We disclaim any intention, obligation or duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

5.                                Consolidating Financial Data of Subsidiary Guarantors:  Our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 are guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (“Subsidiary Guarantors”). All guarantees are full and unconditional. For consolidated financial reporting purposes, non-guarantors consist of our subsidiaries which are organized outside the United States and certain domestic subsidiaries. We use the equity method with respect to our investment in subsidiaries included in other non-current assets in our condensed consolidating financial statements. Set forth below are our condensed consolidating balance sheets as of July 31, 2010, January 30, 2010 and August 1, 2009 (in thousands) as well as our condensed consolidating statements of operations for the second quarter and first half of each of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 (in thousands) and our condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the first half of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 (in thousands).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report and the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We generate revenues and cash flow primarily through the design, production, sale and distribution of branded and private label consumer apparel for men and women and the licensing of company-owned trademarks. Our principal markets and customers are located in the United States and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. We source substantially all of our products through third-party manufacturers located outside of the United States and United Kingdom. We distribute the majority of our products through our wholesale customers, which include chain stores, department stores, specialty stores, specialty catalog retailers, mass merchants and Internet retailers. Our products for certain owned brands are also sold through our owned and licensed retail stores and e-commerce websites.

 

As a result of the weak global economic conditions, fiscal 2009 was a particularly challenging year for each of our operating groups. While we have seen some signs of recovery, we believe these challenging economic conditions will continue to persist and impact each of our operating groups through the end of fiscal 2010, or beyond. Thus, we have purchased inventory for fiscal 2010 at levels which we believe should mitigate inventory markdown risk and promotional pressure; however, these precautions may also limit our growth opportunities. In the current economic environment, we also believe it is important to continue to focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity. We believe that the measures we have taken to reduce working capital requirements, moderate capital expenditures for retail stores, reduce our overhead and refinance our significant debt agreements have significantly enhanced our balance sheet and liquidity.

 

The apparel and retail industry is cyclical and dependent upon the overall level of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. The impact of negative economic conditions may have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel and retail industry than the same conditions have on other industries. Therefore, even if conditions improve in the general economy, the negative impact on the apparel and retail industry may continue.

 

The following table sets forth our consolidated operating results (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the first half of fiscal 2010 compared to the first half of fiscal 2009:

The primary reasons for the improvement in net earnings were:

 

·                  A change in our net sales mix, with Tommy Bahama sales, which generally have higher gross margins than our other operating groups, representing a higher proportion of consolidated net sales and sales related to certain exited businesses representing a lower proportion of consolidated net sales during the first half of fiscal 2010. The first half of fiscal 2009 included $26.4 million of net sales associated with businesses that we have exited.

 

·                  Improved gross margins, which benefitted from the first half of fiscal 2010 including a LIFO charge of $1.6 million compared to the first half of fiscal 2009 including a LIFO charge of $5.5 million.

Table of Contents

 

·                  Increased royalty income in both Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman resulting from increased sales during the first half of fiscal 2010 by existing licensees, as well as the addition of new licensees.

 

·                  The first half of fiscal 2009 included $1.4 million of restructuring charges related to Ben Sherman’s exit from and subsequent licensing of its footwear and kids operations and other streamlining initiatives.

 

·                  The first half of fiscal 2009 included a $1.8 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the satisfaction and discharge of the remaining 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes, which was included in interest expense.

 

These items were partially offset by increased SG&A primarily due to increased incentive compensation amounts resulting from the resumption of our incentive compensation program, which was suspended in fiscal 2009 and is tied to our financial performance.

 

OPERATING GROUPS

 

Our business is operated through our four operating groups: Tommy Bahama, Ben Sherman, Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel. We identify our operating groups based on the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.

 

Tommy Bahama designs, sources and markets collections of men’s and women’s sportswear and related products. The target consumers of Tommy Bahama are affluent men and women age 35 and older who embrace a relaxed and casual approach to daily living. Tommy Bahama® products can be found in our owned and licensed Tommy Bahama retail stores and on our e-commerce website, as well as in certain department stores and independent specialty stores throughout the United States. We also license the Tommy Bahama name for various product categories and operate Tommy Bahama restaurants.

 

Ben Sherman is a London-based designer, marketer and distributor of branded sportswear and related products. Ben Sherman® was established in 1963 as an edgy, young men’s, “Mod”-inspired shirt brand and has evolved into a British lifestyle brand of apparel targeted at youthful-thinking men age 19 to 35 throughout the world. We offer a Ben Sherman men’s sportswear collection, as well as tailored clothing and accessories. Our Ben Sherman products can be found in certain department stores, a variety of independent specialty stores and our owned and licensed Ben Sherman retail stores, as well as on our e-commerce websites. We also license the Ben Sherman name for various product categories.

 

Lanier Clothes designs and markets branded and private label men’s suits, sportcoats, suit separates and dress slacks across a wide range of price points. Certain Lanier Clothes products are sold using trademarks licensed to us by third parties, including Kenneth Cole®, Dockers®, and Geoffrey Beene®. We also offer branded tailored clothing products under our Billy London® and Arnold Brant® trademarks. In addition to our branded businesses, we design and source certain private label tailored clothing products. Significant private label brands include Stafford®, Lands’ End® and Alfani®. Our Lanier Clothes products are sold to national chains, department stores, mass merchants, specialty stores, specialty catalog retailers and discount retailers throughout the United States.

 

Oxford Apparel produces branded and private label dress shirts, suit separates, sport shirts, casual slacks, outerwear, sweaters, jeans, swimwear, westernwear and golf apparel. We design and source certain private label programs for several customers, including programs for Costco, Sears, Target and Macy’s. Significant owned brands of Oxford Apparel include Oxford Golf®, Ely®, Cattleman® and Cumberland Outfitters®. Oxford Apparel also owns a two-thirds interest in the entity that owns the Hathaway® trademark in the United States and several other countries. Additionally, Oxford Apparel licenses from third parties the right to use certain trademarks, including Dockers and United States Polo Association®, for certain apparel products. Our Oxford Apparel products are sold to a variety of department stores, mass merchants, specialty catalog retailers, discount retailers, specialty stores, “green grass” golf merchants and Internet retailers throughout the United States.

 

Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes our corporate office, substantially all financing activities, elimination of inter-segment sales, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments and other costs that are not allocated to the operating groups. LIFO inventory calculations are made on a legal entity basis which does not correspond to our operating group definitions; therefore, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments are not allocated to operating groups.

Consolidated net sales decreased $6.4 million, or 3.3%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily due to $13.4 million of sales related to businesses that we have exited being included in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the other changes in each operating group discussed below.

 

Tommy Bahama:

 

The increase in net sales for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to improved comparable retail store sales and higher e-commerce sales. Tommy Bahama unit sales increased 8.5%, which was primarily a result of the improvement in the direct to consumer channels, while the average selling price per unit decreased by 2.9%. The decrease in the average selling price per unit for apparel was primarily due to a change in product mix. As of July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, we operated 86 and 84 Tommy Bahama retail stores, respectively.

 

Ben Sherman:

 

The decrease in net sales for Ben Sherman was primarily due to a 23.0% reduction in unit sales primarily resulting from our exit from and subsequent licensing of our footwear and kids’ businesses and our exit from the women’s operations. Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 related to these exited businesses totaled approximately $5.4

million. The decrease in unit sales was compounded by a 6.3% decrease in the average exchange rate of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the average exchange rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 resulting in a reduction in net sales of $1.2 million. These items that reduced net sales were partially offset by an increase in comparable retail store sales and increases in Ben Sherman’s men’s sportswear business. The average selling price per unit for Ben Sherman increased 0.8% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 due to the increased proportion of retail sales, which has a higher average selling price, as a percentage of total Ben Sherman sales, as well as the second quarter of fiscal 2009’s wholesale sales including a larger proportion of close-out sales.

 

Lanier Clothes:

 

The decrease in net sales for Lanier Clothes was primarily due to $1.8 million of close-out sales associated with exited businesses during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Unit sales declined 14.1% and the average selling price per unit increased 5.1%, both primarily as a result of the second quarter of fiscal 2010 not including any close-out sales associated with the exited businesses.

 

Oxford Apparel:

 

The decrease in net sales for Oxford Apparel was primarily due to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 including $6.2 million of close-out sales related to certain businesses that we previously exited. Unit sales declined 7.9%, as a result of the inclusion of the close-out sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and the average selling price per unit was relatively flat between the two periods.

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to (1) improved gross margins in each operating group resulting from changes in product mix as a result of the prior year including a greater proportion of close-out sales, (2) the increase in Tommy Bahama’s net sales, which generally have higher gross margins than our other operating groups, both in total and as a proportion of consolidated net sales and (3) the impact of LIFO accounting charges.  Gross margins increased to 47.1% of net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from 40.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Gross profit included charges for LIFO accounting of $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and $4.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. We anticipate that consolidated gross margins in fiscal 2010 will continue to increase compared to the prior year as our consolidated sales mix is more heavily weighted towards Tommy Bahama; however, this change is expected to be partially offset by increases in cotton prices, wages in Asia and ocean shipping costs. Our gross profit may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as statement of operations classification of certain expenses may vary by company.

Operating income, on a consolidated basis, increased to $15.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $6.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The $9.0 million increase in operating income was primarily due to the improved gross margins in each operating group and higher royalty income, which was partially offset by decreased net sales and increased SG&A, each as described above. Operating income included charges for LIFO accounting of $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and $4.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The second quarter of fiscal 2009 also included restructuring charges of $1.4 million in Ben Sherman. Changes in operating income by operating group are discussed below.

The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the $1.8 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount related to the 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes, which were satisfied and discharged in June 2009, as well as a lower level of borrowings in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 resulting from the cash flow from operations generated subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2009. These items were partially offset by the higher interest rate associated with our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes.

The rates for both periods reflect the impact of permanent differences which do not necessarily fluctuate with earnings, as well as the impact of certain discrete items. Also, the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was impacted by a reduction in the anticipated benefit of favorable permanent differences expected for the year, as compared to our estimates as of the first quarter of fiscal 2009, resulting from changes in the mix of earnings between taxing jurisdictions, which had a significant impact on the effective tax rate due to the low earnings in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The increase in diluted net earnings per common share was primarily due to (1) the change in consolidated sales mix with a greater proportion of net sales being sales of Tommy Bahama products and a lower proportion of net sales being related to exited businesses, (2) the impact of LIFO accounting in each period, (3) higher royalty income, (4) the $1.4 million of restructuring charges incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 related to Ben Sherman’s exit from and

These items were partially offset by increased SG&A primarily due to higher incentive compensation amounts resulting from the resumption of our incentive compensation program which was suspended in fiscal 2009 and is tied to our financial performance.

Consolidated net sales decreased $5.3 million, or 1.3%, in the first half of fiscal 2010 compared to the first half of fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of the first half of fiscal 2009 including $26.4 million of net sales related to businesses that we have exited and the other changes in each operating group discussed below.

 

Tommy Bahama:

 

The increase in net sales for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to improved comparable retail store sales and higher e-commerce sales. Tommy Bahama unit sales increased 14.1%, which was primarily a result of the improvement in the direct to consumer channels, while the average selling price per unit decreased by 4.6% due to a change in product mix.

 

Ben Sherman:

 

The decrease in net sales for Ben Sherman was primarily due to a 15.6% reduction in unit sales primarily resulting from our exit from and subsequent licensing of our footwear and kids’ businesses and our exit from our women’s

operations. Net sales related to the footwear, kids’ and women’s businesses totaled approximately $10.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2009 compared to $2.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2010. The decrease related to these exited businesses was partially offset by an increase in comparable retail store sales and increases in wholesale sales in Ben Sherman’s men’s sportswear business. The average selling price per unit for Ben Sherman was relatively flat between the two periods.

 

Lanier Clothes:

 

The decrease in net sales for Lanier Clothes was primarily due to our exit from certain businesses as the first half of fiscal 2009 included $3.6 million of close-out sales associated with these businesses. Unit sales declined 7.5% and the average selling price per unit increased 1.4%, in both cases as a result of the first half of fiscal 2010 not including any close-out sales associated with the exited businesses.

 

Oxford Apparel:

 

The decrease in net sales for Oxford Apparel was primarily due to the first half of fiscal 2009 including $12.5 million of close-out sales related to certain businesses that we exited. Unit sales declined 9.4% and the average selling price per unit was relatively flat between the two periods.

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to (1) improved gross margins in each operating group resulting from changes in product mix in each operating group as a result of the prior year including a greater proportion of close-out sales, (2) the increase in Tommy Bahama’s net sales, which generally have higher gross margins than our other operating groups, both in total and as a proportion of consolidated net sales and (3) the impact of LIFO accounting charges.  Gross margins increased to 46.9% of net sales during the first half of fiscal 2010 from 40.8% in the first half of fiscal 2009. Gross profit included charges for LIFO accounting of $1.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2010 and $5.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. We anticipate that consolidated gross margins in fiscal 2010 will continue to increase compared to the prior year as our consolidated sales mix is more heavily weighted towards Tommy Bahama; however, this change is expected to be partially offset by increases in cotton prices, wages in Asia and ocean shipping costs. Our gross profit may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as statement of operations classification of certain expenses may vary by company.

Operating income, on a consolidated basis, increased to $36.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2010 from $19.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. The $17.0 million increase in operating income was primarily due to the improved gross margins in each operating group and higher royalty income, which was partially offset by increased SG&A, each as described above. Operating income included charges for LIFO accounting of $1.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2010 and $5.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. The first half of fiscal 2009 also included restructuring charges of $1.4 million in Ben Sherman. Changes in operating income by operating group are discussed below.

The decrease in the operating loss was primarily due to LIFO accounting charges of $1.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2010 and $5.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. After removing the impact of LIFO accounting charges, the increase in operating loss is primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs resulting from the resumption of our incentive compensation program, which was suspended in fiscal 2009 and is tied to our financial performance.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is our operating activities in the United States and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. When cash inflows are less than cash outflows, we also have access to amounts under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement (each as described below), subject to their terms, each of which is described below. We may seek to finance future capital investment programs through various methods, including, but not limited to, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our current or additional credit facilities and sales of debt or equity securities.

 

Our liquidity requirements arise from the funding of our working capital needs, which include inventory and accounts receivable, other operating expenses, funding of capital expenditures, payment of quarterly dividends, periodic interest payments related to our financing arrangements and repayment of our indebtedness. Some of our product purchases are facilitated by trade letters of credit which are drawn against our lines of credit at the time of shipment of the products and reduce the amounts available under our lines of credit and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities when issued.

Our working capital ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. Current assets increased and current liabilities decreased from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010, as described below, resulting in the higher working capital ratio. For the ratio of debt to total capital, debt is defined as short-term and long-term debt, and total capital is defined as debt plus shareholders’ equity. The change in the debt to total capital ratio from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 was primarily a result of the $32.8 million reduction in debt since August 1, 2009 due to cash flows from operations, as well as increased shareholders’ equity due to our net earnings subsequent to August 1, 2009. Our debt levels and ratio of debt to total capital in future periods may not be comparable to historical amounts as we continue to assess and may periodically make changes to our capital structure. Changes in our capital structure, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Cash and cash equivalents increased at July 31, 2010 primarily due to our positive cash flows from operating activities subsequent to August 1, 2009. Receivables, net decreased due to the lower wholesale sales in the last two months of the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the last two months of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  Inventories, net decreased primarily due to the significant decline at Ben Sherman resulting from our exit from and subsequent licensing of our footwear and kids’ businesses and our exit from the Ben Sherman women’s operations. Prepaid expenses have increased from August 1, 2009 primarily as a result of the timing of payment of income taxes and certain other operating expenses. The increase in deferred tax assets was primarily related to the tax impact associated with inventory levels at July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009.

The decrease in property, plant and equipment, net was primarily due to depreciation expense exceeding capital expenditures during the twelve months subsequent to August 31, 2009, as we reduced our investments in new retail stores during the challenging economic environment. The decrease in intangible assets, net is primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets subsequent to August 1, 2009 and the decrease in the period-end exchange rate for the British pound sterling versus the U.S. dollar from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010.

The decrease in current liabilities was primarily due to the $19.2 million reduction in the current maturities of long-term debt from the prior year. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in accrued compensation and trade accounts payable and other accrued expenses compared to August 1, 2009. The decrease in long-term debt less current maturities and current maturities of long-term debt are primarily due to cash flow from operating activities for the twelve months preceding July 31, 2010. The cash flow from operating activities was a result of net earnings and improved working capital positions. The change in non-current deferred income taxes primarily resulted from (1) changes in book/tax differences for depreciation and deferred compensation, (2) changes in tax accrued on undistributed foreign earnings, (3) the indirect federal benefit of certain reserves for uncertain tax positions and (4) adjustments to reflect changes in the effective tax rate at which certain deferred items are expected to be realized, which are partially offset by changes in foreign currency rates.

Operating Activities:

 

The operating cash flows for the first half of fiscal 2010 and the first half of fiscal 2009 were primarily the result of net earnings for the relevant period, adjusted for non-cash activities such as depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense as well as changes in our working capital accounts. In the first half of fiscal 2010, the significant changes in working capital were increases in prepaid expenses and decreases in other non-current liabilities, whereas the first half of fiscal 2009 reflected a significant reduction in inventories, partially offset by a reduction in current liabilities.

 

Investing Activities:

 

During the first half of fiscal 2010 and the first half of fiscal 2009, investing activities used $3.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of cash. In each of the applicable periods, these investing activities primarily consisted of

Table of Contents

 

capital expenditures related to new retail stores and costs associated with investment in certain technology initiatives, including the continuing implementation of our new integrated financial systems.

 

Financing Activities:

 

During the first half of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, financing activities used $2.2 million and $27.7 million, respectively, of cash. In the first half of fiscal 2010, the primary use of cash for financing purposes was the payment of dividends, partially offset by short-term borrowings under our U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement. In the first half of fiscal 2009, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the proceeds from the issuance of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes were used to repurchase $166.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes, to pay $2.9 million of dividends and to pay $4.9 million of financing costs associated with the issuance of our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes in June 2009.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The table below provides a description of our significant financing arrangements and the amounts outstanding under these financing arrangements (in thousands) as of July 31, 2010:

 

$175 million U.S. Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”), which is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, accrues interest, unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon a pricing grid which is tied to average unused availability, requires interest payments monthly with principal due at maturity (August 2013) and is secured by a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable (other than royalty payments in respect of trademark licenses), inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), general intangibles (other than trademarks, trade names and related rights), deposit accounts, intercompany obligations, equipment, goods, documents, contracts, books and records and other personal property of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries and a second priority interest in those assets in which the holders of the 113/8% Senior Secured Notes have a first priority interest

£10 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement”), which accrues interest at the bank’s base rate plus 3.5% (4.0% as of July 31, 2010), requires interest payments monthly with principal payable on demand and is collateralized by substantially all of the United Kingdom assets of Ben Sherman

 

1,195

 

11.375% Senior Secured Notes (“113/8% Senior Secured Notes”), which accrue interest at an annual rate of 11.375% (effective interest rate of 12%) and require interest payments semi-annually in January and July of each year, require payment of principal at maturity (July 2015), are subject to certain prepayment penalties, are secured by a first priority interest in all U.S. registered trademarks and certain related rights and certain future acquired real property owned in fee simple of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its consolidated domestic subsidiaries and a second priority interest in those assets in which the lenders under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement have a first priority interest, and are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries

Our credit facilities are used to finance trade letters of credit, as well to provide funding for other operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions. As of July 31, 2010, approximately $38.3 million of trade letters of credit and other limitations on availability in the aggregate were outstanding against the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement. On July 31, 2010, we had approximately $120.1 million and $10.5 million in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement, respectively, subject to the respective limitations on borrowings set forth in the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement and the indenture for the 113/8% Senior Secured Notes.

 

Covenants, Other Restrictions and Prepayment Penalties:

 

Our credit facilities and 113/8% Senior Secured Notes are subject to a number of affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions as discussed in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 5 in our consolidated financial statements, both

Table of Contents

 

included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009. We believe the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions are customary for those included in similar facilities and notes entered into at the time we entered into our agreements. As of July 31, 2010, we were compliant with all covenants related to our credit facilities and 113/8% Senior Secured Notes. If we were to redeem any of our 113/8% Senior Secured Notes prior to July 15, 2014 pursuant to the indenture governing the notes, we would be required to pay certain premiums above the principal amount, which are also discussed in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 5 in our consolidated financial statements, both included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.

 

Other Liquidity Items:

 

We anticipate that we will be able to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements during fiscal 2010 which generally consist of working capital needs, capital expenditures and interest payments on our debt, primarily from cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations and borrowings under our lines of credit, if necessary. Our need for working capital is typically seasonal with the greatest requirements generally existing in the fall and spring of each year. Our capital needs will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the need to finance inventory levels and the success of our various products. At maturity of the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the 113/8% Senior Secured Notes or if the U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement was required to be paid, we anticipate that we will be able to refinance the facilities and debt with terms available in the market at that time, which may or may not be as favorable as the terms of the current agreements.

 

Our contractual obligations as of July 31, 2010 have not changed significantly from the contractual obligations outstanding at January 30, 2010 other than changes in the amounts outstanding under our U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement and pursuant to letters of credit (each as discussed above).

 

Our anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 2010, including $3.4 million incurred during the first half of fiscal 2010, are expected to be approximately $13 million. These expenditures are expected to consist primarily of additional retail stores and costs associated with investment in certain technology initiatives, including the continuing implementation of new integrated financial systems.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into agreements which meet the SEC’s definition of an off balance sheet financing arrangement, other than operating leases, and have made no financial commitments to or guarantees with respect to any unconsolidated subsidiaries or special purpose entities.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, stock compensation expense, contingencies and litigation and certain other accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009. There have not been any significant changes to the application of our critical accounting policies and estimates during the first half of fiscal 2010.

 

A detailed summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.

 

SEASONALITY

 

Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles may be seasonal. For example, the demand for Tommy Bahama in our principal markets is higher in the spring season.

Table of Contents

 

Generally, our wholesale products are sold prior to each of the retail selling seasons, including spring, summer, fall and holiday. As the timing of product shipments and other events affecting the retail business may vary, we do not believe that results for any particular quarter are necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The following table presents the percentage of net sales and operating income by quarter (unaudited) for fiscal 2009.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to certain interest rate, foreign currency, commodity and inflation risks as discussed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009. There have not been any significant changes in our exposure to these risks during the first half of fiscal 2010.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we converted our accounts receivable system in our United States operations, to a new integrated financial system. After this conversion our accounts receivable, general ledger, payables and fixed assets systems for our United States operations are all on one integrated financial system. As a result of this conversion, certain controls were modified, as necessary, to supplement and complement our existing internal controls over financial reporting. We anticipate converting certain foreign regions and other of our financial systems to the new integrated financial system in future periods. The conversion of certain of our financial systems to an integrated financial system was undertaken to provide a more integrated financial system across our operating groups, more timely management reporting, efficiencies in our operations and enhanced customer service, and not in response to any actual or perceived deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Except for the conversion of our accounts receivable system to a new integrated financial system as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not currently a party to any litigation or regulatory action that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

 

We believe that an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, which are not the only risks facing our company. We do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009. If any of the risks described in such Annual Report, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could suffer.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

(a)          During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we did not make any unregistered sales of our equity securities.

 

(c)          We have certain stock incentive plans as described in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, all of which are publicly announced plans. Under the plans, we can repurchase shares from employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the exercise of stock options or the vesting of previously restricted shares.  No shares were purchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $50 million to repurchase shares of our common stock and/or 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes. This authorization superseded and replaced all previously existing authorizations to repurchase shares of our common stock and/or our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes. As of July 31, 2010, no shares of our common stock nor any of our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes had been repurchased pursuant to this authorization, which has no automatic expiration.
