Diluted earnings per share were $0.19 for the first quarter ended May 3,
2008. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.20 after excluding $0.9
million of closure costs incurred in connection with the Company’s previously
announced planned closure of the Canadian based manufacturing facility
operated by its subsidiary, Golden Brand. This compares to adjusted diluted
earnings per share guidance given March 12, 2008 of $0.20 to $0.24. Diluted
earnings per share for the prior year first quarter, after pro forma
adjustments for the April 9, 2007 After Hours acquisition as if it had
occurred on January 29, 2006, were $0.59 (refer to the Company’s first quarter
fiscal 2007 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and comments below). Prior year
first quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.75.
FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
The condensed consolidated statements of earnings attached to this press
release reflect the Company’s GAAP results of operations for the three months
ended May 3, 2008 and May 5, 2007, as well as pro forma results of operations
for the three months ended May 5, 2007. Since the acquisition of After Hours
occurred on April 9, 2007, the inclusion of its off-season operations as if
the acquisition had occurred prior to the beginning of the 2007 first quarter
reduces that quarter’s diluted earnings per share from $0.75 on a GAAP basis
to $0.59 on a pro forma basis and allows for a comparison of the first quarter
results on a comparable operations basis. Accordingly, the following
highlights of the Company’s operating results are based on a comparison of the
pro forma results for the 2007 first quarter with the GAAP results for the
2008 first quarter.
-- Total company sales decreased 6.7% for the quarter. - Apparel sales, representing 79.11% of 2008 total net sales, decreased 4.6% due primarily to decreases in the Company's comparable store sales driven by a reduction in store traffic levels. - Tuxedo rental revenues, representing 14.29% of 2008 total net sales, decreased 18.6%. This decline was primarily driven by reduced tuxedo rental sales at the Company's stores acquired from After Hours as well as the sale of the acquired wholesale tuxedo rental operations in July 2007. These declines were partially offset by increases at the Company's Men's Wearhouse stores. -- Gross margin before occupancy costs, as a percentage of total net sales, decreased 28 basis points from pro forma 58.38% to 58.10%. Increases in clothing product margins, as a percentage of related sales, of 97 basis points were offset by a reduction in the percentage of total net sales derived from tuxedo rentals from 16.38% to 14.29% as well as deleveraging of fixed costs related to alteration and other services. -- Occupancy costs increased, as a percentage of total net sales, by 271 basis points from pro forma 12.27% to 14.98% primarily due to the deleveraging effect of reduced comparable store sales, increased rental rates for new and renewed leases and increased depreciation expense from the rebranding of After Hours stores to MW Tux. -- Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total net sales, increased 378 basis points from pro forma 36.26% to 40.04%. This increase was primarily due to the deleveraging effect of reduced net sales. -- Operating income was $15.1 million compared to pro forma $51.8 million for the same period last year and net income was $9.9 million compared to pro forma $32.1 million. -- The effective tax rate for the 2008 first quarter was 30.6%.
SECOND QUARTER 2008 GUIDANCE
In the summer of 2008, the Company expects to close the Canadian based
manufacturing facility operated by its subsidiary, Golden Brand. The company
estimates the pre tax cost to close the facility will be approximately $8.1
million or the equivalent of $0.10 per diluted share outstanding for the
fiscal year. The pre tax cost for the first quarter was $0.9 million or the
equivalent of $0.01 per diluted share outstanding. The pre tax cost for the
second quarter is estimated at $5.2 million or the equivalent of $0.06 per
diluted share outstanding and the pre tax cost for the third quarter is
estimated at $2.0 million or the equivalent of $0.02 per diluted share
outstanding. Due to the effect of rounding, the sum of the quarterly per
share amounts does not equal the full year.
Excluding the Golden Brand closure costs for the second quarter, the
Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share to be $0.75 to $0.79.
Including these costs, GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be
$0.69 to $0.73. This guidance assumes same store sales at MW, including MW
Tux stores, to decrease in the mid to high single digit range, at K&G to
decrease in the low teens digit range and at Moores to decrease in the low
single digit range.
The guidance includes an estimated effective tax rate of approximately
38.8% for the second quarter. The fully diluted shares outstanding are
estimated to be 51.4 million.
FISCAL 2008 GUIDANCE
Based on its actual results for the first quarter, the Company believes
achieving a level of operating performance for the second half of the fiscal
year anticipated in its initial annual guidance provided on March 12, 2008
will be challenging under current market conditions.
The Company, therefore, is updating its adjusted diluted earnings per
share outlook for the year to a range of $1.75 to $1.85 excluding the Golden
Brand closure costs. Including these costs, GAAP diluted earnings per share
are expected to be $1.65 to $1.75. This annual guidance reflects a comparable
store sales decrease in the mid single digits for TMW, a low double digit
decrease at K&G, and a low single digit decrease for Moores.
