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). Such statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, without limitation, demand for our products, which may be impacted by competitive conditions and/or evolving consumer shopping patterns; macroeconomic factors that may impact consumer discretionary spending and pricing levels for apparel and related products, many of which may be impacted by current inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, concerns about the stability of the banking industry or general economic uncertainty; acquisition activities (such as the acquisition of Johnny Was), including our ability to integrate key functions, recognize anticipated synergies and minimize related disruptions or distractions to our business as a result of these activities; operations and financial results; supply chain disruptions; costs and availability of labor and freight deliveries, including our ability to appropriately staff our retail stores and food and beverage locations; costs of products as well as the raw materials used in those products, as well as our ability pass along price increases to consumers; energy costs; our ability to respond to rapidly changing consumer expectations; the ability of business partners, including suppliers, vendors, wholesale customers, licensees, logistics providers and landlords, to meet their obligations to us and/or continue our business relationship to the same degree as they have historically; retention of and disciplined execution by key management and other critical personnel; cybersecurity breaches and ransomware attacks, as well as our and our third party vendors’ ability to properly collect, use, manage and secure business, consumer and employee data; the level of our indebtedness, including the risks associated with heightened interest rates on the debt and the potential impact on our ability to operate and expand our business; changes in international, federal or state tax, trade and other laws and regulations, including the potential imposition of additional duties; the timing of shipments requested by our wholesale customers; weather or natural disaster; fluctuations and volatility in global financial and/or real estate markets; the timing and cost of retail store and food and beverage location openings and remodels, technology implementations and other capital expenditures; expected outcomes of pending or potential litigation and regulatory actions; the increased consumer, employee and regulatory focus on environmental, social and governance issues; the regulation or prohibition of goods sourced, or containing raw materials or components, from certain regions and our ability to evidence compliance; access to capital and/or credit markets; factors that could affect our consolidated effective tax rate; the risk of impairment to goodwill and other intangible assets; and geopolitical risks, including those related to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Forward-looking statements reflect our expectations at the time such forward-looking statements are made, based on information available at such time, 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 Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023

1. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year due to the seasonality of our business.

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The significant accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. No recently issued guidance adopted in Fiscal 2023 had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption or is expected to have a material impact in future periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Periods

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption are either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Operating Group Information: 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. Our operating group structure reflects a brand-focused management approach, emphasizing operational coordination and resource allocation across each brand’s direct to consumer, wholesale and licensing operations, as applicable. With our acquisition of Johnny Was on September 19, 2022, our business is organized as our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was and Emerging Brands operating groups.

Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes our corporate offices, substantially all financing activities, the elimination of inter-segment sales, any other items that are not allocated to the operating groups, including LIFO inventory accounting adjustments, and the operations of our Lyons, Georgia distribution center and our Oxford America business, which we exited in Fiscal 2022. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2022.

The First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 benefited from changes in uncertain tax positions.

The income tax expense for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 included the benefit of the utilization of certain net operating loss carryforward amounts in certain state and foreign jurisdictions, the recognition of certain tax credit amounts and the vesting of restricted stock awards at a price higher than the grant date fair value. These favorable items were partially offset by certain unfavorable permanent items which are not deductible for income tax purposes.

6. Shareholders’ Equity: From time to time, we repurchase our common stock mainly through open market repurchase plans. For the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, there were no repurchases. For the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, we repurchased 491,000 shares for $43 million. As of April 29, 2023, we have $50 million remaining under our existing Board of Directors’ authorization.

We also repurchase shares from our employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the vesting of shares of our common stock. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, there were no shares repurchased. For the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, we repurchased $3 million of shares from our employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the vesting of shares of our common stock.

7. Business Combinations: On September 19, 2022, we acquired JW Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Johnny Was”) (the “Acquisition”). We accounted for this transaction as a business combination, which generally requires that we record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date.

Table of Contents

The provisional estimated acquisition-date fair values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including a reconciliation to the total purchase consideration, are as follows:


	Provisional Amounts at January 28, 2023		Measurement Period Adjustments		Provisional Amounts at April 29, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	7,296	$	—	$	7,296
Receivables		8,777		—		8,777
Inventories		23,434		—		23,434
Prepaid expenses and other assets		6,353		—		6,353
Property and equipment		21,108		—		21,108
Intangible assets		134,640		—		134,640
Goodwill		96,637		359		96,996
Operating lease assets		54,859		—		54,859
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities		(34,777)		(359)		(35,136)
Non-current portion of operating lease liabilities		(47,009)		—		(47,009)
Purchase price	$	271,318	$	—	$	271,318

As of April 29, 2023, we considered these amounts to be provisional because we were still in the process of reviewing information to support the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We made measurement-period adjustments, as shown in the table above, that increased the amount of provisional goodwill. We expect that goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible assets allocated in connection with our preliminary purchase price allocation consisted of the following (in thousands):


		Johnny Was
	Useful life	acquisition
Finite lived intangible assets acquired, primarily consisting of customer relationships	8 - 13 years	$	56,740
Trade names and trademarks	Indefinite		77,900
		$	134,640

The following unaudited pro forma information presented below (in thousands, except per share data) shows the results of our operations for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 as if the acquisition of Johnny Was had occurred at the beginning of Fiscal 2021. The information presented below is for illustrative purposes only, is not indicative of results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had occurred as of that date and is not intended to be a projection of future results of operations. The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared from historical financial statements for Johnny Was and us for the periods presented, including without limitation, purchase accounting adjustments, but excluding any seller specific management/advisory or similar expenses and any synergies or operating cost reductions that may be achieved from the combined operations in the future.


	Actual		Pro Forma
Net sales	$	352,581	$	406,174
Earnings before income taxes	$	75,736	$	81,744
Net earnings	$	57,408	$	61,914
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	3.52	$	3.79
Diluted	$	3.45	$	3.72

8. Debt: On March 6, 2023, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $325 million, which may be used to fund working capital, to fund future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Agreement amended and restated our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement (1) extended the maturity of the facility

Table of Contents

from July 2024 to March 2028 and (2) modified certain provisions of the agreement. In other non-current assets, we capitalized debt issuance costs of $2 million in connection with commitments upon entering into the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, the interest rate applicable to our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are based on either the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 135 to 185 basis points or prime plus an applicable margin of 25 to 75 basis points.

The Revolving Credit Agreement generally (1) is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, (2) accrues variable-rate interest (weighted average interest rate of 7% as of April 29, 2023), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon average utilization or unused availability, as applicable, (3) requires periodic interest payments with principal due at maturity and (4) is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Oxford Industries, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, books and records, chattel paper, deposit accounts, equipment, certain general intangibles, inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), negotiable collateral, life insurance policies, supporting obligations, commercial tort claims, cash and cash equivalents, eligible trademarks, proceeds and other personal property.

We issued standby letters of credit of $7 million in the aggregate under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of April 29, 2023. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement reduce the amount of borrowings available to us.

As of April 29, 2023, we had $94 million of borrowings outstanding and $224 million in unused availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Under the Prior Credit Agreement as of January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, we had $119 million and $0 million of borrowings outstanding, and $199 million and $322 million of unused availability, respectively.

Compliance with Covenants

The Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to a number of affirmative covenants regarding the delivery of financial information, compliance with law, maintenance of property, insurance requirements and conduct of business. Also, the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to certain negative covenants or other restrictions including, among other things, limitations on our ability to (1) incur debt, (2) guaranty certain obligations, (3) incur liens, (4) pay dividends to shareholders, (5) repurchase shares of our common stock, (6) make investments, (7) sell assets or stock of subsidiaries, (8) acquire assets or businesses, (9) merge or consolidate with other companies or (10) prepay, retire, repurchase or redeem debt.

Additionally, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that applies only if excess availability under the agreement for three consecutive business days is less than the greater of (1) $23.5 million or (2) 10% of availability. In such case, our fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement must not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 for the immediately preceding 12 fiscal months for which financial statements have been delivered. This financial covenant continues to apply until we have maintained excess availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement of more than the greater of (1) $23.5 million or (2) 10% of availability for 30 consecutive days.

We believe that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions under the Revolving Credit Agreement are customary for those included in similar facilities entered into at the time we amended the Revolving Credit Agreement. During Fiscal 2023 and as of April 29, 2023, no financial covenant testing was required pursuant to our Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Prior Credit Agreement, as applicable, as the minimum availability threshold was met at all times. As of April 29, 2023, we were compliant with all applicable covenants related to the Revolving Credit Agreement.

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 thereto 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 Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

Business Overview

We are a leading branded apparel company that designs, sources, markets and distributes products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was, Southern Tide, TBBC and Duck Head lifestyle brands.

Our business strategy is to develop and market compelling lifestyle brands and products that evoke a strong emotional response from our target consumers. We consider lifestyle brands to be those brands that have a clearly defined and targeted point of view inspired by an appealing lifestyle or attitude. Furthermore, we believe lifestyle brands that create an emotional connection can command greater loyalty and higher price points and create licensing opportunities. We believe the attraction of a lifestyle brand depends on creating compelling product, effectively communicating the respective lifestyle brand message and distributing products to consumers where and when they want them. We believe the principal competitive factors in the apparel industry are the reputation, value, and image of brand names; design of differentiated, innovative or otherwise compelling product; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing (including through rapidly shifting digital and social media vehicles); product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service. Our ability to compete successfully in the apparel industry is dependent on our proficiency in foreseeing changes and trends in fashion and consumer preference and presenting appealing products for consumers. Our design-led, commercially informed lifestyle brand operations strive to provide exciting, differentiated fashion products each season as well as certain core products that consumers expect from us.

On September 19, 2022, we acquired Johnny Was. Johnny Was products are sold through the Johnny Was website and full-price retail stores and outlets as well as select department stores and specialty stores. We continue to execute acquisition and integration activities, such as investing in technology infrastructure, and streamlining corporate and operational support structures.

During Fiscal 2022, 80% of our consolidated net sales were through our direct to consumer channels of distribution, which consist of our brand specific full-price retail stores, e-commerce websites and outlets, as well as our Tommy Bahama food and beverage operations. The remaining 20% of our net sales was generated through our wholesale distribution channels, which complement our direct to consumer operations and provide access to a larger base of consumers. Our wholesale operations consist of sales of products bearing the trademarks of our lifestyle brands to various specialty stores, better department stores, Signature Stores, multi-branded e-commerce retailers and other retailers.

For additional information about our business and our operating groups, see Part I, Item 1. Business of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. Important factors relating to certain risks which could impact our business are described in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.

Industry Overview

We operate in a highly competitive apparel market that continues to evolve rapidly with the expanding application of technology to fashion retail. No single apparel firm or small group of apparel firms dominates the apparel industry, and our competitors vary by operating group and distribution channel. The apparel industry is cyclical and very dependent on the overall level and focus of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as consumer preferences and regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. Also, in recent years consumers have chosen to spend less of their discretionary spending on certain product categories, including apparel, while spending more on services and other product

Table of Contents

categories. Further, negative economic conditions often have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel industry than on other industries due, in part, to apparel purchases often being more of a discretionary purchase.

This competitive and evolving environment requires that brands and retailers approach their operations, including marketing and advertising, very differently than they have historically and may result in increased operating costs and investments to generate growth or even maintain existing sales levels. While the competition and evolution present significant risks, especially for traditional retailers who fail or are unable to adapt, we believe it also presents a tremendous opportunity for brands and retailers to capitalize on the changing consumer environment.

We believe our lifestyle brands have true competitive advantages, and we continue to invest in and leverage technology to serve our consumers when and where they want to be served. We continue to believe that our lifestyle brands, with their strong emotional connections with consumers, are well suited to succeed and thrive in the long term while managing the various challenges facing our industry in the current environment.

The current macroenvironment, with heightened concerns about inflation, a global economic recession, geopolitical issues, the stability of the U.S. banking system, the availability and cost of credit and continued increases in interest rates, is creating a complex and challenging retail environment, which may impact our businesses and exacerbate some of the inherent challenges to our operations. There remains significant uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, and the impact of these and other factors could have a major effect on our businesses.

Key Operating Results:

The following table sets forth our consolidated operating results (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022:


	First Quarter
	Fiscal 2023		Fiscal 2022
Net sales	$	420,097	$	352,581
Operating income	$	80,301	$	75,978
Net earnings	$	58,538	$	57,408
Net earnings per diluted share	$	3.64	$	3.45
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		16,071		16,622

Net earnings per diluted share were $3.64 in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 compared to $3.45 in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022. The 6% increase in net earnings per diluted share included a 2% increase in net earnings as well as a 3% reduction in weighted average shares outstanding due to open market share repurchases in Fiscal 2022. The increased net earnings included the operating income of Johnny Was in the First Quarter of 2023, as well as higher net sales, gross margin and royalties and other income. These increases were partially offset by increased SG&A, increased interest expense and a higher effective tax rate. Each of these changes are discussed further below.

COMPARABLE SALES

We often disclose comparable sales in order to provide additional information regarding changes in our results of operations between periods. Our disclosures of comparable sales include net sales from our full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites, excluding sales associated with e-commerce flash clearance sales. We believe that the inclusion of both full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites in the comparable sales disclosures is a more meaningful way of reporting our comparable sales results, given similar inventory planning, allocation and return policies, as well as our cross-channel marketing and other initiatives for the direct to consumer channels. For our comparable sales disclosures, we exclude (1) outlet store sales and e-commerce flash clearance sales, as those clearance sales are used primarily to liquidate end of season inventory, which may vary significantly depending on the level of end of season inventory on hand and generally occur at lower gross margins than our non-clearance direct to consumer sales, and (2) food and beverage sales, as we do not currently believe that the inclusion of food and beverage sales in our comparable sales disclosures is meaningful in assessing our branded apparel businesses. Comparable sales information reflects net sales, including shipping and handling revenues, if any, associated with product sales.

Table of Contents

For purposes of our disclosures, comparable sales consists of sales through e-commerce sites and any physical full-price retail stores that were owned and open as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year and which did not have during the relevant periods, and is not within the current fiscal year scheduled to have, (1) a remodel or other event which would result in a closure for an extended period of time (which we define as a period of two weeks or longer), (2) a greater than 15% change in the size of the retail space due to expansion, reduction or relocation to a new retail space or (3) a relocation to a new space that is significantly different from the prior retail space. For those stores which are excluded based on the preceding sentence, the stores continue to be excluded from comparable sales until the criteria for a new store is met subsequent to the remodel, relocation, or other event. A full-price retail store that is remodeled will generally continue to be included in our comparable sales metrics as a store is not typically closed for longer than a two-week period during a remodel; however, a full-price retail store that is relocated generally will not be included in our comparable sales metrics until that store has been open in the relocated space for the entirety of the prior fiscal year because the size or other characteristics of the store typically change significantly from the prior location. Any stores that were closed during the prior fiscal year or current fiscal year, or which we expect to close or vacate in the current fiscal year, as well as any pop-up or temporary store locations, are excluded from our comparable sales metrics.

Definitions and calculations of comparable sales differ among companies, and therefore comparable sales metrics disclosed by us may not be comparable to the metrics disclosed by other companies.

DIRECT TO CONSUMER LOCATIONS

The table below provides information about the number of direct to consumer locations for our brands as of the dates specified. For acquired brands, locations are only included subsequent to the date of acquisition. The amounts below include our permanent locations and exclude any pop-up or temporary store locations which have an initial lease term of 12 months or less.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022

The discussion and tables below compare our statements of operations for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 to the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022. Each dollar and percentage change provided reflects the change between these fiscal periods unless indicated otherwise. Each dollar and share amount included in the tables is in thousands except for per share amounts. We have calculated all percentages based on actual data, and percentage columns in tables may not add due to rounding. Individual line items of our consolidated statements of operations, including gross profit, may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as classification of certain expenses may vary by company.

Consolidated net sales	$	420,097	$	352,581	$	67,516	19.1	%

Consolidated net sales were $420 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 compared to net sales of $353 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022. The 19% increase in net sales included (1) $49 million of sales for Johnny Was, which was acquired during the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022 and (2) increases in each operating group. Although we did have some price increases in the last year to mitigate increased product and other costs, the increase in net sales was primarily driven by increased volume.

The increase in net sales by distribution channel consisted of the following:

●

an increase in full-price retail sales of $20 million, or 17%, including (1) $17 million of full-price retail sales in Johnny Was and (2) a $3 million, or 2% aggregate increase, in Lilly Pulitzer, Tommy Bahama, and Emerging Brands;

●

an increase in full-price e-commerce sales of $37 million, or 41%, including (1) $19 million of full-price e-commerce sales in Johnny Was and (2) an $18 million, or 20%, aggregate increase in full price e-commerce in sales in Lilly Pulitzer, Tommy Bahama, and Emerging Brands;

●

an increase in wholesale sales of $16 million, or 18%, including (1) $13 million of wholesale sales in Johnny Was and (2) a $6 million, or 12%, increase in Tommy Bahama. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Lilly Pulitzer and Emerging Brands;

Table of Contents

●

a decrease in Lilly Pulitzer e-commerce flash clearance sales of $7 million, with no e-commerce flash clearance in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023;

●

an increase in food and beverage sales of $1 million, or 4%; and

●

an increase in outlet sales of $2 million, or 10%.

The following table presents the proportion of our consolidated net sales by distribution channel for each period presented. We have calculated all percentages below on actual data, and percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.

Johnny Was	67.9	%	—	%
Emerging Brands	46.0	%	51.5	%
Corporate and Other	NM	%	NM	%
Consolidated gross margin	65.5	%	64.2	%

The increased gross profit of 22% was primarily due to the 19% increase in net sales as well as increased consolidated gross margin. The higher gross margin included (1) lower freight costs as both inbound freight costs have generally returned to pre-pandemic levels in Fiscal 2023 and our utilization of air freight on inbound products has decreased, (2) the 67.9% gross margin of Johnny Was, (3) the absence of e-commerce flash sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 and (4) improved initial product margins, as certain sales prices were increased more than the increased product costs during the last year. These increases were partially offset by lower gross margin in Emerging Brands.

Tommy Bahama:

The higher gross margin for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to (1) reduced freight costs, (2) increased wholesale gross margins and (3) increased food and beverage gross margins. These increases were partially offset by a change in sales mix with wholesale sales representing a higher proportion of net sales.

Lilly Pulitzer:

The higher gross margin for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to (1) lower freight costs, (2) an increase in initial product margins, (3) the absence of e-commerce flash sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 compared to $7 million of e-commerce flash sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 and (4) a change in sales mix as direct to consumer sales represented a greater proportion of total Lilly Pulitzer sales.

Johnny Was:

Gross margin for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 was 68%.

Emerging Brands:

The lower gross margin for Emerging Brands was primarily due to (1) off-price wholesale sales representing a higher proportion of net sales, as the brands were liquidating inventory that was marked down in the prior year and (2) more

inventory markdowns, particularly in Southern Tide. These decreases were partially offset by a change in sales mix with direct to consumer sales representing a greater proportion of net sales.

Corporate and Other:

The gross profit in Corporate and Other primarily reflects the impact of LIFO accounting adjustments, which was a $1 million charge in both periods, and the gross profit of the Lyons, Georgia distribution center and Oxford America businesses. The LIFO accounting impact in Corporate and Other in each period includes the net impact of (1) a charge in Corporate and Other when inventory that had been marked down in an operating group in a prior period was ultimately sold, (2) a credit in Corporate and Other when inventory had been marked down in an operating group in the current period, but had not been sold as of period end and (3) the change in the LIFO reserve, if any.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is through our design, sourcing, marketing and distribution of branded apparel products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was, Southern Tide, TBBC and Duck Head lifestyle brands. We primarily distribute our products to our customers via direct to consumer channels of distribution, but we also distribute our products via wholesale channels of distribution.

Our primary uses of cash flow include the purchase of our branded apparel products from third party suppliers located outside of the United States, as well as operating expenses, including employee compensation and benefits, operating lease commitments and other occupancy-related costs, marketing and advertising costs, information technology costs, variable expenses, distribution costs, other general and administrative expenses and the periodic payment of interest. Additionally, we use our cash to fund capital expenditures and other investing activities, dividends, share repurchases and repayment of indebtedness, if any. In the ordinary course of business, we maintain certain levels of inventory, extend credit to our wholesale customers and pay our operating expenses. Thus, we require a certain amount of ongoing working capital to operate our business. Our need for working capital is typically seasonal with the greatest working capital requirements to support our larger spring, summer and holiday direct to consumer seasons. Our capital needs depend on many factors including the results of our operations and cash flows, anticipated growth rates, the need to finance inventory levels and the success of our various products.

We have a long history of generating sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our cash requirements for our ongoing capital expenditure needs as well as payment of dividends and repayment of our debt. Thus, we believe our anticipated future cash flows from operating activities will provide (1) sufficient cash over both the short and long term to satisfy our ongoing operating cash requirements, (2) ample funds to continue to invest in our lifestyle brands, direct to

consumer initiatives and information technology projects, (3) additional cash flow to repay outstanding debt and (4) sufficient cash for other strategic initiatives. Also, if cash inflows are less than cash outflows, we have access to amounts under our $325 million Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to its terms, which is described below.

Working capital ratio		1.35		1.23		1.80		1.77

Our working capital ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. Current assets as of April 29, 2023, decreased from April 30, 2022 primarily due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, which was used to fund a portion of the Johnny Was acquisition purchase price, partially offset by increased inventories, receivables, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, including the assets related to Johnny Was. Current liabilities as of April 29, 2023 increased from April 30, 2022 primarily due to the current liabilities associated with Johnny Was. Changes in current assets and current liabilities are discussed below.

Balance Sheet

The following tables set forth certain information included in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands). Below each table are explanations for any significant changes in the balances as of April 29, 2023 as compared to April 30, 2022.

Total current assets	$	327,704	$	330,463	$	407,912	$	400,335

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $10 million as of April 29, 2023, compared to $166 million as of April 30, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments from April 30, 2022 was due to the use of cash and short-term investments to fund a portion of the Johnny Was acquisition purchase price, with the remainder funded via borrowings pursuant to our Revolving Credit Agreement.

The increased receivables, net as of April 29, 2023 included $8 million of receivables associated with Johnny Was.

Inventories, net, included a $76 million and $71 million LIFO reserve as of April 29, 2023, and April 30, 2022, respectively. The increased inventories, net as of April 29, 2023 included inventories of $17 million associated with Johnny Was. The increase in inventories of our other brands was primarily due to (1) anticipated sales growth in each of our brands for the remainder of Fiscal 2023, (2) higher levels of core product and (3) increased product costs.

The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets as of April 29, 2023 was primarily due to prepaid expenses and other current assets associated with Johnny Was.

Property and equipment, net as of April 29, 2023, increased primarily due to the addition of $20 million of property and equipment associated with Johnny Was. The additional increase was due to capital expenditures exceeding depreciation since April 30, 2022.

Intangible assets, net and goodwill as of April 29, 2023, increased primarily due to the $135 million of intangible assets, less accumulated amortization, and $97 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Johnny Was. Operating lease assets as of April 29, 2023, increased primarily due to the operating lease assets associated with Johnny Was of $53 million. There was an additional increase in operating lease assets associated with new or extended operating leases in our other businesses that exceeded the net impact of amortization of existing operating leases and the termination or reduced term of certain operating leases. The increase in other assets, net as of April 29, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in equity investments in unconsolidated entities including the 2022 $8 million investment in the entity that owns the Tommy Bahama resort.

Current liabilities increased as of April 29, 2023 primarily due to current liabilities of $27 million associated with Johnny Was. This increase was partially offset by lower accrued income taxes and incentive compensation amounts.

The long-term debt of $94 million as of April 29, 2023, was primarily due to borrowing certain amounts to fund a portion of the acquisition of Johnny Was. The non-current portion of operating lease liabilities as of April 29, 2023, increased primarily due to $45 million of operating lease liability amounts associated with Johnny Was. This was partially offset by the net impact of the payment of operating lease liabilities and reductions in liabilities related to the termination or reduced term of certain operating leases which exceeded the operating lease liabilities associated with new or extended operating leases.

Statement of Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the net cash flows for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 (in thousands):

Table of Contents

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, in the aggregate, were $10 million and $166 million as of April 29, 2023, and April 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments from April 30, 2022 was due to the use of cash and short-term investments to fund the acquisition of Johnny Was, with the remainder of the purchase price funded via borrowings pursuant to our Revolving Credit Agreement. Changes in cash flows in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 related to operating activities, investing activities and financing activities are discussed below.

Operating Activities:

In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, operating activities provided $53 million and $22 million of cash, respectively. The cash flow from operating activities for each period primarily consisted of net earnings for the relevant period adjusted, as applicable, for non-cash activities including depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation, gain on sale of assets, and other non-cash items as well as the net impact of changes in deferred income taxes and operating assets and liabilities. In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, changes in operating assets and liabilities had a net unfavorable impact on cash flow from operations due to the seasonality of our business.

In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, the net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in receivables and a decrease in current liabilities that decreased cash flow from operations, partially offset by a decrease in inventories that increased cash flow from operations. In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, the net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in receivables, inventories, and prepaids, which all decreased cash flow from operations. The significant favorable impact in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 was primarily due to sales outpacing inventory purchases and cost increases, which resulted in a reduction in inventory levels during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023.

Investing Activities:

In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 used $16 million of cash, which primarily consisted of capital expenditures. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, investing activities provided $21 million of cash. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, we converted $30 million of short-term investments to cash based on our short-term cash needs which exceeded the $9 million of capital expenditures.

On an ongoing basis, our cash flow used in investing activities is expected to primarily consist of our capital expenditure investments in information technology initiatives, including e-commerce capabilities; direct to consumer operations, including opening, relocating and remodeling locations; and facilities enhancements for distribution centers and offices.

Financing Activities:

In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, financing activities used $36 million and $57 million of cash, respectively. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, we used cash to pay $10 million of dividends. In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, we used cash flow from operations to repurchase $46 million of shares, including repurchased shares of our stock pursuant to an open market stock repurchase program and of equity awards in respect of employee tax withholding liabilities; pay $9 million of dividends and pay $2 million of contingent consideration for the final contingent consideration payment related to the TBBC acquisition.

If net cash requirements are less than our net cash flows, we may repay amounts outstanding on our Revolving Credit Agreement, if any, like we did in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023. Alternatively, to the extent we are in a net debt position, and our net cash requirements exceed our net cash flows, we may borrow amounts from our Revolving Credit Agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Table of Contents

anticipated future cash flows from operating activities will provide (1) sufficient cash over both the short and long term to satisfy our ongoing operating cash requirements, (2) ample funds to continue to invest in our lifestyle brands, direct to consumer initiatives and information technology projects, (3) additional cash flow to repay outstanding debt and (4) sufficient cash for other strategic initiatives.

Our capital needs depend on many factors including the results of our operations and cash flows, future growth rates, the need to finance inventory and the success of our various products. To the extent cash flow needs in the future exceed cash flow provided by our operations, we will have access, subject to its terms, to our Revolving Credit Agreement to provide funding for operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions, if any, and any other investing or financing activities.

Our cash and debt, as well as availability, levels in future periods will not be comparable to historical amounts, particularly after the completion of the acquisition of Johnny Was in September 2022. We anticipate our debt will be reduced significantly during Fiscal 2023. Further, we continue to assess, and may possibly make changes to, our capital structure, which we may achieve by borrowing from additional credit facilities, selling debt or equity securities or repurchasing additional shares of our stock in the future. Changes in our capital structure, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

$325 Million Revolving Credit Agreement

On March 6, 2023, we amended the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2028. As of April 29, 2023, we had borrowings of $94 million, issued standby letters of credit of $7 million, and availability of $224 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

We believe that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions under the Revolving Credit Agreement are customary for those included in similar facilities entered into at the time we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement. During Fiscal 2023 and as of April 29, 2023, no financial covenant testing was required pursuant to our Revolving Credit Agreement or the Prior Credit Agreement, as applicable, as the minimum availability threshold was met at all times. As of April 29, 2023, we were compliant with all applicable covenants related to the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Operating Lease Commitments:

Refer to Note 4 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about our operating lease commitments as of April 29, 2023.

Dividends:

On June 5, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.65 per share payable on July 28, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 14, 2023. Although we have paid dividends each quarter since we became a public company in July 1960, we may discontinue or modify dividend payments at any time if we determine that other uses of our capital, including payment of outstanding debt, funding of acquisitions, funding of capital expenditures or repurchases of outstanding shares, may be in our best interest; if our expectations of future cash flows and future cash needs outweigh the ability to pay a dividend; or if the terms of our credit facility, other debt instruments or applicable law limit our ability to pay dividends. We may borrow to fund dividends or repurchase shares in the short term subject to the terms and conditions of our credit facility, other debt instruments and applicable law. All cash flow from operations will not be paid out as dividends.

Capital Expenditures:

Our anticipated capital expenditures for Fiscal 2023, including the $17 million incurred in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, are expected to be approximately $90 million, as compared to $47 million for Fiscal 2022. The planned increase in capital expenditures includes spend associated with new brick and mortar locations and relocations and remodels of existing locations resulting in a net increase of full price stores of approximately 25 by the end of Fiscal 2023. The spend associated with these brick and mortar locations represents about one-half of the planned capital expenditure amount for 2023. Additionally, we will continue with our investments in our various technology systems initiatives, including e-commerce and omnichannel capabilities, data management and analytics, customer data and insights, cybersecurity, automation including artificial intelligence and infrastructure. Finally, we anticipate spend associated with a multi-year project at our Lyons, Georgia distribution center to enhance its direct-to-consumer throughput capabilities for our brands.

Other Liquidity Items:

Our contractual obligations as of April 29, 2023 except for the increased operating lease commitments and increased debt outstanding, both as discussed above, have not changed materially from the contractual obligations outstanding at January 28, 2023, as disclosed in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in a consistent manner. The preparation of these financial statements requires the selection and application of accounting policies. Further, the application of GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are 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.

Table of Contents

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same set of facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We believe that we have appropriately applied our critical accounting policies. However, in the event that inappropriate assumptions or methods were used relating to the critical accounting policies, our consolidated statements of operations could be materially misstated.

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 Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. There have not been any significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023. A detailed summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.

SEASONAL ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS

Each of our operating groups is impacted by seasonality as the demand by specific product or style, as well as by distribution channel, may vary significantly depending on the time of year. As a result, our quarterly operating results and working capital requirements fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Typically, the demand for products for our larger brands is higher in the spring, summer and holiday seasons and lower in the fall season (the third quarter of our fiscal year). Thus, our third quarter historically has had the lowest net sales and net earnings compared to other quarters. Further, the impact of certain unusual or non-recurring items, economic conditions, our e-commerce flash clearance sales, wholesale product shipments, weather, acquisitions or other factors affecting our operations may vary from one year to the next. Therefore, due to the potential impact of these items, we do not believe that net sales or operating income in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 is indicative of the expected proportion of amounts by quarter for future periods.

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 Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in our exposure to these risks during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 other than our decreased exposure to interest rates resulting from our decreased borrowings relative to January 28, 2023.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our company, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to litigation and regulatory actions arising in the ordinary course of business. These actions may relate to trademark and other intellectual property, employee relations matters, real estate, licensing arrangements, importing or exporting regulations, product safety requirements, taxation or other topics. We are not

Table of Contents

currently a party to any litigation or regulatory action or aware of any proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, our assessment of any litigation or other legal claims could potentially change in light of the discovery of additional factors not presently known or determinations by judges, juries, or others which are not consistent with our evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to numerous risks. Investors should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing business environment and additional risks and uncertainties that we currently consider immaterial or not presently known to us may also adversely affect our business. The risks described in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company.

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

(a)	During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, we did not make any unregistered sales of equity securities.

(c)

We have certain stock incentive plans as described in Note 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, all of which are publicly announced plans. Under the plans, we can repurchase shares from employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the vesting of shares of our stock. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, no shares were repurchased from employees.

No shares were repurchased through open market repurchase programs during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023. As of April 29, 2023, $50 million remained under the Board of Directors’ authorization.
