Oxford Industries Clarifies Statement in Conference Call
Fiscal 2006 Guidance Remains Unchanged
ATLANTA, GA.—In its conference call held this afternoon, Oxford Industries, Inc. inadvertently stated that the anticipated fiscal 2006 sales growth rate for its entire Menswear Group was 30% to 35%. In fact, the correct projected sales growth rate for the Menswear Group should be 11% to 13%. The twelve month fiscal 2006 contribution of the Ben Sherman division of the Menswear Group is expected to be 30% to 35% above the ten month fiscal 2005 sales contribution.
This clarification does not change the Company's guidance for fiscal year 2006. For the full year, the Company continues to project total sales of $1.37 billion to $1.39 billion, driven by growth in the Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman brands as well as the Menswear Group. Diluted earnings per share for the full year are projected to be between $3.20 and $3.30.
