FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

  June 5, 2012

 

Oxford Industries Reports First Quarter Results

 

Continued Strength at Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer

 

First Quarter Adjusted EPS of $1.12 Exceeds Guidance and Prior Year —

 

Full Year Adjusted EPS Guidance Increased to $2.85 - $2.95 —

 

ATLANTA, GA — Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2012 first quarter ended April 28, 2012. Consolidated net sales rose 11% to $231.0 million compared to $208.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. On an adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations increased 5% to $1.12 from $1.07 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. On a U.S. GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $1.09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $1.03 in the same period of the prior year. For reference, tables reconciling U.S. GAAP to adjusted measures are included at the end of this release.

 

“We are pleased to report excellent first quarter results driven, in particular, by strength in our direct to consumer businesses at Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer. Perhaps even more significant to our long-term growth strategy were some key store openings that happened during the first quarter. Notably, Lilly Pulitzer opened its first new company-owned store since we acquired them with a store in Charlotte and Tommy Bahama opened its first company-owned international store with an opening in Macau,” commented J. Hicks Lanier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Oxford Industries, Inc.

 

“Our retail expansion has continued in May with the opening of a Lilly Pulitzer store in Atlanta and a Tommy Bahama store in Singapore.  In the next twelve months, Tommy Bahama expects to open, among other locations, high profile stores in New York on Fifth Avenue, Chicago on Michigan Avenue, Hong Kong and the Ginza district of Tokyo. Lilly Pulitzer is slated to open one more store this year and is working on securing leases for additional retail locations.”

 

Mr. Lanier continued, “Continued growth in our direct to consumer business and development of an international business are two critical elements of our strategy to drive

long term profitable growth.  We are delighted with the progress we are making on both fronts and believe it bodes well for our future prospects.”

 

Operating Results

 

Tommy Bahama reported a 15% increase in net sales to $141.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in sales was driven by strength in the direct to consumer business, including high single-digit comparable store sales increases in full-price stores, the contribution from additional retail stores and significantly higher e-commerce sales. Increases in wholesale sales also contributed to the solid first quarter performance. Tommy Bahama’s operating income rose 8% to $25.6 million, driven by higher sales, but also reflecting the planned increase in SG&A from expenses associated with the Tommy Bahama international roll-out and the pre-opening costs for the New York store, and costs associated with operating additional retail stores. As of April 28, 2012, Tommy Bahama operated 96 retail stores compared to 89 stores at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Lilly Pulitzer’s sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 rose 19% to $35.6 million reflecting increases in comparable store sales in the upper teens, the addition of one retail store and continued dramatic growth in e-commerce sales. Wholesale sales also increased year over year. The sales strength at Lilly Pulitzer, as well as higher gross margins, resulted in a 35% increase in adjusted operating income to $11.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. On a U.S. GAAP basis, operating income increased 57% to $11.0 million from $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Ben Sherman reported net sales of $17.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. The operating loss for the first quarter was $2.7 million compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Ben Sherman sales and gross margins continued to be impacted by the economic conditions in the U.K. and Europe, which accounted for approximately 70% of its sales during the first quarter. Gross margins were also negatively impacted by higher product costs.

 

Net sales for Lanier Clothes were flat at $33.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 with operating income declining to $4.0 million from $4.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to continued gross margin pressures.

 

The Corporate and Other operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $5.1 million compared to an operating loss of $4.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, with the difference primarily due to the impact of LIFO accounting. The first quarter of fiscal 2012 included a LIFO charge of $0.2 million compared to a $0.6 million LIFO credit in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Consolidated Results

 

Consolidated gross margins for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased slightly to 55.9% from 56.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The year over year comparison reflected higher product costs and the impact of the depressed economic conditions that Ben Sherman faced in its U.K. and European businesses. The Company expects consolidated gross margins to improve in the second half of fiscal 2012 as input cost pressure eases versus the prior year. This easing of cost pressures, along with the anticipated increasing proportion of the higher gross margin Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer businesses relative to the prior year, is expected to result in expansion of its consolidated gross margin percentage for the year.

 

SG&A for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $100.8 million, or 43.6% of net sales, compared to $91.1 million, or 43.8% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Some leveraging of SG&A was achieved despite $2.4 million of costs in the first quarter associated with the Tommy Bahama international roll-out and the New York store, which is planned to open later this year.

 

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 25% to $3.6 million as a result of the Company’s repurchase of $45 million of its 11.375% Senior Secured Notes in fiscal 2011. As previously announced, the Company intends to redeem the remaining $105 million of notes in July 2012. To finance the redemption of the notes and ensure adequate liquidity, the Company expects to amend and restate its existing $175 million U.S. revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the size of the facility and extend the maturity date. As a result of the expected refinancing, the Company expects interest expense for fiscal 2012 to be approximately $9.5 million.

 

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was 38.3% compared to 34.2% in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is more indicative of the anticipated effective tax rate for future periods.

 

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

 

Inventory increased to $86.0 million at April 28, 2012 from $62.8 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily due to anticipated sales growth across all channels of distribution, the operation of additional retail stores, the timing of shipments from vendors and the impact of increased product costs.

 

As of April 28, 2012, the Company had $3.5 million of borrowings outstanding under its U.S. revolving credit facility and $6.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its U.K. revolving credit facility. Availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility was approximately $159 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company’s anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 2012, including $9.6 million incurred during the first quarter, are expected to approach $60 million. These expenditures are expected to consist primarily of costs associated with additional retail stores, information technology investments, retail store remodeling and distribution center enhancements.

Outlook for Fiscal 2012

 

Due to better than anticipated first quarter results, continued momentum at Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer, and the Company’s assumptions regarding its refinancing terms, the Company increased its full year outlook for net sales and adjusted earnings per share. For fiscal 2012, the Company expects adjusted earnings per diluted share in a range of $2.85 to $2.95 and net sales of $850 to $865 million. This compares to the Company’s prior guidance of $2.70 to $2.80 in adjusted earnings per diluted share and net sales of $840 to $855 million. The adjusted earnings per share guidance excludes the impact of approximately $9 million in charges associated with the expected refinancing of 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 for fiscal 2012 are now expected to be between $2.40 and $2.50.

 

For the second quarter, ending on July 28, 2012, the Company anticipates net sales in a range from $200 to $210 million compared to net sales of $180.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are expected to be $0.60 to $0.65 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.57 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. On a U.S. GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share for the second quarter are expected to be between $0.23 and $0.28, which includes the impact of approximately $9 million in charges associated with the expected refinancing of the senior secured notes in July 2012 and a $0.6 million charge associated with a change in the fair value of contingent consideration.

 

The earnings estimates for the year include the impact of approximately $12 million of expenses associated with the Tommy Bahama international rollout and the New York store, with approximately $3.1 million of these costs expected to occur in the second quarter.

RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN OPERATING RESULTS INFORMATION PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP TO CERTAIN OPERATING RESULTS INFORMATION, AS ADJUSTED (UNAUDITED)

 

Set forth below is our reconciliation, in thousands except per share amounts, of certain operating results information, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, to the operating results information, as adjusted, for certain historical periods. We believe that investors often look at ongoing operations as a measure of assessing performance and as a basis for comparing past results against future results. Therefore, we believe that presenting our operating results, as adjusted, provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to make decisions based on our ongoing operations. We use the operating results, as adjusted, to discuss our business with investment institutions, our board of directors and others. Further, we believe that presenting our results, as adjusted, provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to compare our results for the periods presented to other periods.

NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN OPERATING RESULTS INFORMATION PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP TO CERTAIN OPERATING RESULTS INFORMATION, AS ADJUSTED (UNAUDITED)

 


(1)         LIFO accounting adjustment reflects the impact on cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of earnings resulting from LIFO accounting adjustments in each period. LIFO accounting adjustments are included in Corporate and Other for operating group reporting purposes.

(2)         Inventory write-up costs, which are included in cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of earnings, reflect the impact of 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. These charges were included in cost of goods sold in the Lilly Pulitzer operating group results of operations. We do not anticipate any purchase accounting adjustments for inventory write-up costs in future periods.

(3)         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. 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. The change in fair value of contingent consideration is reflected in the Lilly Pulitzer operating group results of operations.

(4)         Impact of income taxes reflects the estimated earnings from continuing operations tax impact of the above adjustments based on the estimated effective tax rate on current year earnings, before any discrete items.

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

 

Set forth below is our reconciliation, in thousands, of operating income (loss) for each operating group and in total, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to operating income (loss), as adjusted, for certain historical periods. We believe that investors often look at ongoing operating group operating income (loss) as a measure of assessing performance and as a basis for comparing past results against future results. Therefore, we believe that presenting our operating income (loss), as adjusted, provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to make decisions based on our ongoing operating group results. We use the operating income (loss), as adjusted, to discuss our operating groups with investment institutions, our board of directors and others. Further, we believe that presenting our operating results, as adjusted, provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to compare our operating group operating income (loss) for the periods presented to other periods.

RECONCILIATION OF EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER DILUTED SHARE PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP TO EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER DILUTED SHARE, AS ADJUSTED (UNAUDITED)

 

Set forth below is our reconciliation of reported or reportable earnings from continuing operations per diluted share for certain historical and future periods, each presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to the earnings per diluted share, as adjusted, for each respective period. We believe that investors often look at ongoing operations as a measure of assessing performance and as a basis for comparing past results against future results. Therefore, we believe that presenting our earnings per diluted share, as adjusted, provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to make decisions based on our ongoing operations.

Further, we believe that presenting earnings per diluted share, as adjusted, provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to compare our results for the periods presented to other periods.

NOTES TO RECONCILIATIONS OF EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER  DILUTED SHARE PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP TO EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER DILUTED SHARE, AS ADJUSTED (UNAUDITED)

 


(1)         Guidance as issued on March 27, 2012.

(2)         LIFO accounting reflects the impact, net of income taxes, on earnings from continuing operations per diluted share resulting from LIFO accounting adjustments in each period. No estimate for future LIFO accounting adjustments are reflected in the guidance for any period presented.

(3)         Purchase accounting adjustments reflect the impact, net of income taxes, on earnings from continuing operations per diluted share resulting from the inventory write-up costs, which are included in cost of goods sold in Lilly Pulitzer. 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. We do not anticipate any purchase accounting adjustments for inventory write-up costs in future periods.

(4)         Change in fair value of contingent consideration reflects the impact, net of income taxes, on earnings from continuing operations per diluted share 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. 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.

(5)         Guidance as issued on June 5, 2012.

(6)         Life insurance death benefit gain reflects the impact on earnings from continuing operations per diluted share from 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.

(7)         Loss on repurchase of senior notes for fiscal 2012 reflects our estimate of the expected charge, net of income taxes, to continuing operations per diluted share associated with the anticipated redemption of our 11.375% Senior Secured Notes in July 2012. These costs include payment of the 5.688% premium, as well as the write-off of applicable deferred financing costs. The actual loss could differ from this estimate depending on various factors.

(8)         Loss on repurchase of senior notes for fiscal 2011 reflects the impact, net of income taxes, on earnings from continuing operations per diluted share resulting from the loss attributable to the repurchase of a portion of our 11.375% Senior Secured Notes.
