Oxford Industries Reports Fiscal 2011 Results and Issues Fiscal 2012 Guidance

- Fourth Quarter Sales Increase 27% on Strength of Tommy Bahama and Inclusion of Lilly Pulitzer -

- Fourth Quarter Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations Increases 91% to $0.61 versus $0.32 in the Prior Year -

- Company Increases Quarterly Dividend to $0.15 per Share -

ATLANTA, GA — Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and 2011 fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.  Consolidated net sales rose 27% to $199.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $157.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, which ended January 29, 2011.  On an adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.61 compared to $0.32 in the same period last year. The Company noted that only six weeks of operating results for Lilly Pulitzer, which was acquired in December 2010, are included in the Company’s prior year results.

For fiscal 2011, consolidated net sales rose 26% to $758.9 million from $603.9 million in fiscal 2010.  On an adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $2.41 for the 2011 fiscal year compared to $1.26 in the prior year.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $0.43 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $0.10 in the same period of the prior year.  For the full year, on a U.S. GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations increased to $1.77 from $0.98 in the prior year.

For reference, tables reconciling U.S. GAAP to adjusted measures are included at the end of this release.

J. Hicks Lanier, Chairman and CEO of Oxford Industries, Inc. commented, “We were delighted with very strong fourth quarter results that capped an excellent performance for fiscal 2011.  In particular, our Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer businesses continued the strength they had shown throughout the year in retail and e-commerce and carried it through the holiday season and into January.”

Mr. Lanier continued, “Looking ahead, the strength demonstrated by Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer gives us the confidence to make significant investments in their long-term growth.  In Tommy Bahama, we expect to add 10 -12 domestic stores this year

(More)

including a retail store, bar and restaurant location on Fifth Avenue in New York and a store at a premier location on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.  We will also begin opening company-owned stores in Asia with Macau and Singapore already slated for this year and a retail store, bar and restaurant location in the Ginza district of Tokyo scheduled to open in early 2013.  We are continuing to look for other locations for Tommy Bahama in key Asian markets. In February, Lilly opened its first store since we acquired the business, at SouthPark Mall in Charlotte. Phipps Plaza in Atlanta is scheduled to open later this spring and we hope to secure one or two other Lilly locations this year.  In addition, we will continue to make the necessary investments to fuel continued growth in e-commerce for both Tommy and Lilly.  We believe these investments will support the long-term growth of our company and help generate strong returns for our shareholders.”

Operating Group Results

Tommy Bahama reported strong results in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, with a net sales increase of 17% to $127.6 million. The increase in net sales was driven by a comp store sales increase in the low double digits in the full-price stores, an increase in e-commerce sales exceeding 50%, sales from additional retail stores and a modest increase in wholesale sales. As of January 28, 2012, Tommy Bahama operated 96 retail stores, including 63 full-price stores, 13 restaurant-retail locations and 20 outlet stores, compared to 89 retail stores as of January 29, 2011.

Operating income for Tommy Bahama increased to $18.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 from $15.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The 20% increase in operating income was primarily due to the higher sales.

Lilly Pulitzer’s results continued to exceed the Company’s expectations.  Net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 44% to $23.1 million compared to $16.0 million during the same period of the prior year. Because the Company acquired Lilly Pulitzer on December 21, 2010, only $6.0 million of the $16.0 million of net sales were included in the Company’s fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements.  These sales results compared to the same period of the prior year reflect significant increases in each of the wholesale, retail and e-commerce channels of distribution, with e-commerce sales more than doubling.

Lilly Pulitzer’s operating income, as adjusted, was $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in operating income, as adjusted, was a result of owning Lilly Pulitzer for the entire quarter in fiscal 2011 compared to only six weeks in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 as well as higher sales during the period.  On a U.S. GAAP basis, Lilly Pulitzer’s operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $2.0 million compared to a loss of $0.4 million in the prior year.

Net sales for Ben Sherman increased from $20.9 million a year ago to $25.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The net sales in fiscal 2011 reflect an increase in wholesale sales in Europe and the United States as well as increased retail sales.

(More)

Ben Sherman incurred an operating loss of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, on both a U.S. GAAP and adjusted basis, compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million on an adjusted basis, or $4.3 million on a U.S. GAAP basis, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The improved operating results, as adjusted, were a result of the higher net sales for Ben Sherman, partially offset by gross margin erosion due to higher product costs.

Net sales for Lanier Clothes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were $19.8 million, up slightly from last year’s $19.7 million, as the sales mix continued to shift from private label tailored clothing to branded tailored clothing.

Operating income for Lanier Clothes was slightly lower than last year at $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in operating income resulted from gross margin pressures and increased SG&A associated with branded sales.

The Corporate and Other operating results, as adjusted, were a loss of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a loss of $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. On a U.S. GAAP basis, Corporate and Other reported a loss of $8.5 million compared to a loss of $4.7 million last year.

Consolidated Operating Results

Consolidated net sales increased $42.0 million, or 27%, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily due to increased sales at Tommy Bahama, sales related to the Lilly Pulitzer business, which were only included in the Company’s operating results for six weeks in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, and the increase in sales at Ben Sherman.

Consolidated gross margins were 51.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011compared to 53.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  Gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011was impacted by $5.8 million of LIFO accounting charges compared to $2.4 million of LIFO accounting charges and $0.8 million of purchase accounting charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

Consolidated gross margins, as adjusted, for the fourth quarter were 54.8% compared to 55.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  The decrease in gross margins in the fourth quarter, as adjusted, was primarily due to the impact of higher product costs particularly at Ben Sherman, partially offset by a change in sales mix towards higher gross margin branded sales and direct to consumer sales as a percentage of consolidated net sales.

SG&A for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $93.6 million, or 46.9% of net sales, compared to $80.9 million, or 51.3% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  The dollar increase in SG&A was primarily due to $10.7 million of SG&A associated with Lilly Pulitzer during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, increased costs associated with retail stores and certain

(More)

infrastructure costs related to the Tommy Bahama international expansion. These increases in SG&A were partially offset by life insurance proceeds of approximately $1.2 million.

SG&A as a percentage of net sales, as adjusted, was 47.5% and 50.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, respectively. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales reflects the leveraging of SG&A as certain operating costs do not fluctuate with sales.

Royalties and other income was $4.2 million, comparable to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

Consolidated operating income, as adjusted, increased 41% to $18.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 from $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. On a U.S. GAAP basis, consolidated operating income in the fourth quarter was $13.6 million compared to $8.1 million in the prior year.  The increase in operating income was primarily due to the strong operating results at Tommy Bahama and the inclusion of a full quarter of operating income for Lilly Pulitzer compared to only six weeks in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $3.5 million compared to $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the Company’s repurchase of $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 11.375% Senior Secured Notes during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011.

For fiscal 2011, consolidated net sales increased 26% to $758.9 million compared to $603.9 million in fiscal 2010.  Consolidated gross margins improved slightly in fiscal 2011 to 54.4% from 54.2% in fiscal 2010.  Consolidated SG&A as a percentage of net sales improved to 47.2% in fiscal 2011 from 50.0% in fiscal 2010.  Consolidated operating margins for the year rose to 9.1% compared to 6.7% in the prior year.

As adjusted, consolidated gross margins increased to 55.3% in fiscal 2011 from 55.0% in fiscal 2010.  Consolidated SG&A, as adjusted, as a percentage of net sales was 47.4% in fiscal 2011 compared to 49.7% in fiscal 2010.  For the year, consolidated operating margins, as adjusted, increased significantly to 10.1% in fiscal 2011 compared to 7.8% in the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total inventories at January 28, 2012 increased 21% to $103.4 million, compared to $85.3 million at January 29, 2011.  The increase in inventories was primarily to support anticipated sales growth as well as the timing of spring 2012 shipments, which were received earlier in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010, and the increased product cost of inventories at January 28, 2012. Receivables increased to $59.7 million from $50.2 million primarily due to the increased wholesale sales in the last two months of fiscal 2011 compared to the last two months of fiscal 2010.

(More)

As of January 28, 2012, the Company had total debt of $106.0 million compared to $147.1 million at January 29, 2011, consisting primarily of the Company’s 11.375% Senior Secured Notes.  At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company had $13.4 million of cash on hand, $148.1 million of availability under its U.S. revolving credit facility and $3.2 million in unused availability under its U.K. revolving credit facility.

Cash flow from operations was $44.6 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $35.7 million in the prior year primarily due to higher earnings.

Dividend

The Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share payable on April 27, 2012 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 13, 2012. This represents a 15% increase from the dividend paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.  The Company has paid dividends every quarter since it became publicly owned in 1960.

Outlook for Fiscal 2012

Significant investments by the Company in fiscal 2012 are expected to drive long-term growth for its brands.  Investment highlights include:

·                  Tommy Bahama plans to increase its U.S. store count by 10-12 stores in fiscal 2012.  These plans include a retail store and restaurant on Fifth Avenue in New York, slated to open in late fall, as well as a high profile store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago planned to open late summer.

·                  Tommy Bahama’s international investments include capital expenditures and expenses associated with building the Tommy Bahama platform in Asia, costs associated with a store and restaurant in Tokyo (Ginza) and costs associated with stores in Macau and Singapore.

·                  Lilly Pulitzer is expected to open three or four stores in fiscal 2012 and will continue to invest in systems and people to support a rapidly growing business.

·                  Ongoing development of the Company’s information technology and distribution center infrastructure to support growth in e-commerce.

The Company has the opportunity to refinance its $105 million of 11.375% Senior Secured Notes at par plus a half-coupon premium at the first call date in July 2012. The Company expects to redeem the notes and refinance the debt at a lower interest rate.

For fiscal year 2012, which ends on February 2, 2013, the Company expects solid sales and earnings growth, with sales growing at a slightly faster pace than earnings due to the

(More)

investments described above.  The Company expects net sales of $840 million to $855 million in fiscal 2012 compared to $758.9 million in fiscal 2011.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share are expected to be between $2.70 and $2.80 excluding approximately $9 million in anticipated charges associated with refinancing the senior secured notes and approximately $2.4 million associated with a change in the fair value of contingent consideration.  On a U.S. GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share are expected to be between $2.26 and $2.36.

The earnings estimates above include the impact of approximately $12 million of expenses associated with the Tommy Bahama Asian roll-out and the New York store opening, with approximately $2 million of these costs expected to occur in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

For the year, the Company expects Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer net sales to increase approximately 15% and relatively flat net sales at Ben Sherman and Lanier Clothes. The Company anticipates that the first and fourth quarters will be the Company’s largest quarters, both in terms of net sales and operating income.  Conversely, with retail demand for the Company’s brands being weakest in the third quarter, the Company expects that its lowest operating margins will, as in the past, occur in the third quarter.

For the first half of the year, particularly in the first quarter, higher product costs will impact gross margins.  The Company expects year over year gross margins to improve in the second half of the year, with slightly higher consolidated gross margins for the full year.

SG&A is expected to rise at a pace slightly higher than the planned increase in net sales. Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets are expected to be approximately $28 million in fiscal 2012.  Royalty income is expected to be flat with fiscal 2011.

The $3.5 million of interest expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 should approximate interest expense for each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2012.  The Company’s earnings guidance assumes a reduction in interest expense of approximately 30% to $11 million for the full year due to the anticipated refinancing of its senior secured notes.  Changes in market conditions or other factors could impact this assumption.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 is anticipated to rise to approximately 38% compared to an effective tax rate of 32.8% in fiscal 2011.  The fiscal 2011 effective tax rate benefited from certain discrete items.

In fiscal 2011, capital expenditures were $35.3 million.  Capital expenditures for fiscal 2012 are expected to approach $60 million as the Company increases its pace of retail store openings, including Tommy Bahama’s high profile stores in New York and Chicago, Tommy Bahama’s international roll-out, three or four new Lilly Pulitzer stores,

(More)

remodeling costs for existing stores and continued investment in information technology and distribution center enhancements.

The Company expects net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to be in the range of $220 million to $230 million compared to net sales of $208.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2012 are expected to be approximately flat with last year due to the impact of increased product costs and expenses to support growth initiatives.

NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP TO OPERATING INCOME (LOSS), AS ADJUSTED (UNAUDITED)

(1)          Change in fair value of contingent consideration reflects the statement of earnings impact resulting from the change in fair value of contingent consideration pursuant to the earnout agreement with the sellers of the Lilly Pulitzer brand and operations. Pursuant to the purchase method of accounting, the fair value of contingent consideration was reflected in the opening balance sheet of the acquired company. This amount must be reassessed periodically and recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, with the changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration, if any, recognized in our consolidated statements of earnings. The periodic assessment of fair value is based on assumptions regarding the probability of the payment of all or part of the contingent consideration, cash flows of the Lilly Pulitzer operations and discount rates, among other factors. The change in fair value of contingent consideration is recorded quarterly with the passage of time as the payment date of the contingent consideration approaches and additional amounts may also be recognized as an increase or decrease in the expense as a result of the periodic assessment of fair value. A change in assumptions could result in a material change to the fair value of the contingent consideration.

(2)          LIFO accounting reflects the impact on cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of earnings resulting from LIFO accounting adjustments in each period.

(3)          Life insurance death benefit gain reflects the proceeds received related to a corporate owned life insurance policy less the cash surrender value of the policy. The death benefit is non-taxable income.

(4)          Purchase accounting adjustments reflect the inventory write-up costs, which are included in cost of goods sold in Lilly Pulitzer, and acquisition costs, which are included in SG&A in Corporate and Other. The inventory write-up costs reflect the purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the write-up of inventory at acquisition related to the December 2010 acquisition of the Lilly Pulitzer brand and operations. The amount of inventory write-up was charged to cost of goods sold in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as the acquired inventory was sold. Acquisition costs reflect the transaction costs associated with our acquisition of the Lilly Pulitzer brand and operations. We do not anticipate any purchase accounting adjustments for inventory write-up costs or acquisition costs related to the Lilly Pulitzer acquisition in future periods. 

(5)          Restructuring and other charges included in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, which are included in SG&A in our consolidated statements of earnings, primarily relate to Ben Sherman’s termination of certain retail store leases and the impairment of certain assets.

(6)          Change in estimate related to an environmental reserve liability reflects the impact on Corporate and Other SG&A resulting from the reduction in estimated costs to remediate a property with an existing environmental reserve liability.
