– Conference call scheduled for Wednesday, September 9th at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Men’s Wearhouse (NYSE: MW) today announced consolidated financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended August 1, 2015.

GAAP diluted EPS for fiscal second quarter 2015 was $0.98 and adjusted EPS was $1.07 excluding non-operating items(1).

Doug Ewert, Men’s Wearhouse chief executive officer, stated, “We continue to be pleased with the performance of our legacy brands.  Comparable sales increased 3.1% at Men’s Wearhouse, 0.7% at Moores and 6.7% at K&G.  Excluding rental revenue, Men’s Wearhouse clothing comps were 6.5% driven by higher average unit retails.  Men’s Wearhouse comparable rental revenue decreased 3.3% which was slightly better than internal expectations.     

“The Jos. A. Bank business struggled in the second quarter with comparable sales decreasing 9.4%,” added Ewert.  “Now that we have a full year under our belt, we have become even more convinced that changing the promotional messages to be clear and compelling without unusual quantity requirements, like buy one get three free offers, will broaden the appeal of the Joseph A. Bank brand.  This fall we will be well positioned to fully implement our strategy as all systems will be integrated, new products will be introduced, the new customer rewards program will be available, we will have new sales force incentives supported with extensive training and we will have new marketing strategies in place.   

“We are focused on rebuilding the Jos. A. Bank profit model.  In doing so, we expect top-line volatility as we establish a promotional model with broader customer appeal and strengthen the margin profile.  Taking this into consideration, as well as the impact of the second quarter results, we still expect to be within our EPS guidance range of $2.70 to $2.90 and continue to be confident in our 2017 guidance,” concluded Ewert.

SECOND QUARTER SALES REVIEW

The table that follows is a summary of net sales for the fiscal 2015 second quarter ended August 1, 2015.  The dollars shown are U.S. dollars in millions and, due to rounded numbers, may not sum.  The Moores comparable sales change is based on the Canadian dollar.  The comparable sales shown below for Jos.

Net sales at our largest brand, Men’s Wearhouse, were up 4.4% from last year’s second quarter.  Comparable sales increased 3.1% due primarily to an increase in clothing product average unit retails. The higher margin rental revenues comparable sales decreased 3.3% in the second quarter of 2015. 

Jos. A. Bank comparable sales for the second quarter decreased 9.4% with decreases in both units sold per transaction and average transactions per store.  Moores, our Canadian retail brand, had a comparable sales increase of 0.7% due to an increase in clothing product average unit retails slightly offset by a decrease in average transactions per store.  However, net sales for Moores decreased 10.5% due to an unfavorable change in the currency translation rate.  K&G comparable sales increased 6.7% due to an increase in average transactions per store.  The Corporate Apparel segment had a sales decrease of 8.2% primarily driven by an unfavorable change in the currency translation rate.

Total net sales decreased 1.1%, or $9.9 million from $929.9 million baseline net sales.  Retail segment net sales for the quarter decreased by 0.5%, or $4.4 million, to $858.9 million due primarily to a decrease in rental volume.  Corporate apparel sales decreased by 8.2%, or $5.5 million.

UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided adjusted information for fiscal second quarter and six months of 2015 and a historical consolidated baseline for fiscal second quarter and six months of 2014 which includes Jos. A. Bank results.  This non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance.  Specifically, we believe the adjusted and baseline results provide useful information by excluding items we believe are not indicative of our core operating results as well as certain items related to the acquisition and integration of Jos. A. Bank. 

The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or as being superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of this non-GAAP information to our actual results follows and may not sum due to rounded numbers.
