FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Tailored Brands, Inc. (NYSE: TLRD) today announced consolidated
financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended November 3, 2018.

For the third quarter ended November 3, 2018, the Company reported GAAP
diluted earnings per share of $0.27 and adjusted diluted earnings per
share(1) of $1.01, compared to GAAP diluted earnings per
share of $0.75 for the same period a year ago. There were no adjusted
items in last year’s third quarter.

“We reported 2.3% positive comparable sales in the third quarter, with
all retail brands delivering positive comparable sales. Our sales growth
was driven primarily by custom suiting, which we sold at an average rate
of $5 million per week, up 150% versus last year,” said Tailored Brands
Executive Chairman Dinesh Lathi. “I am pleased with the team’s execution
on our custom growth strategy. During the quarter, we improved our
custom offering’s speed, selection and service, making custom even more
compelling to consumers.

“That said, as the third quarter progressed we saw a softening of
comparable sales due to lower transactions at Men’s Wearhouse and that
trend continued into November. As a result, we have taken a more
cautious outlook on fourth quarter comparable sales for Men’s Wearhouse
and now expect fiscal 2018 adjusted diluted EPS of $2.30 to $2.35.”

Lathi added, “We also executed our strategies to reduce inventories and
debt to improve capital efficiency and strengthen our balance sheet.
During the quarter, we reduced inventories 10% versus last year. We also
successfully repriced our term loan, reducing the interest rate spread
by 25 basis points, which lowers our annual cash interest expense by
more than $2 million. Our total debt is down approximately $300 million
versus a year ago.”

Third quarter 2018 GAAP results include a goodwill impairment charge of
$24.0 million related to our corporate apparel business, $9.4 million
related to the repricing of the Company’s term loan, $6.4 million
related to the retirement of our former CEO and $0.6 million related to
the previously announced closure of a rental product distribution center
in the second quarter of 2018. Of the $40.4 million total charges, $34.3
million were non-cash.

(1)   In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, adjusted items consist of a
goodwill impairment charge related to our corporate apparel
business, a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the repricing
of the Company’s term loan, costs related to the retirement of our
former CEO and costs related to the previously announced closure of
a rental product distribution center in the second quarter of 2018.
There were no adjusted items in last year’s third quarter. See Use
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information on items
excluded from adjusted EPS.

Comparable sales is defined as net sales from stores open at
least 12 months at period end and includes e-commerce sales. Due
to the 53-week to 52-week calendar shift, third quarter 2018
comparable sales are compared with the 13-week period ended
November 4, 2017.

The Moores comparable sales change is based on the Canadian
dollar.

On March 3, 2018, the Company sold its MW Cleaners business.

 

Net Sales

Total net sales increased 0.2% to $812.7 million. Retail net sales
increased 0.6% primarily due to an increase in retail clothing sales,
which drove positive 2.3% retail comparable sales. This was partially
offset by a $7.3 million decrease in alteration and other services
primarily resulting from the MW Cleaners divestiture.

Corporate apparel net sales decreased 3.6%, or $2.3 million, primarily
due to lower sales in the United Kingdom (“UK”) associated with
uncertainty surrounding Brexit, as well as the impact of a weaker
British pound this year. The Company now expects corporate apparel net
sales to decrease by a mid-single-digit percentage in fiscal 2018,
primarily due to continued soft trends in the UK business, versus
previous guidance of a low-single-digit percentage decrease.

Comparable Sales

Men’s Wearhouse comparable sales increased 1.7%. Comparable sales for
clothing increased primarily due to an increase in average unit retail
partially offset by a decrease in both units per transaction and
transactions. Comparable rental services revenue decreased 0.6%,
primarily reflecting the trend to purchase suits for special occasions
partially offset by the impact of more weddings in the third quarter,
which included the vanity wedding date of August 18, 2018, (“8/18/18”).
The Company expects to report comparable rental services revenue in the
fourth quarter of up low-single-digits versus last year and still
expects to report a mid-single-digit decrease in rental services revenue
for fiscal 2018.

Jos. A. Bank comparable sales increased 3.8% primarily due to an
increase in both transactions and average unit retail, partially offset
by a decrease in units per transaction.

K&G comparable sales increased 4.0% due to increases in transactions,
units per transaction and average unit retail.

Moores comparable sales increased 1.2% primarily due to an increase in
transactions partially offset by a decrease in units per transaction,
while average unit retail was flat.

Gross Margin

On a GAAP basis, consolidated gross margin was $362.7 million, an
increase of $4.0 million, primarily due to the increase in retail
clothing product sales. As a percent of sales, consolidated gross margin
increased 40 basis points to 44.6%. On an adjusted basis, consolidated
gross margin increased 40 basis points, primarily due to leveraging of
occupancy costs.

On a GAAP basis, retail segment gross margin was $346.1 million, an
increase of $4.1 million, primarily due to the increase in retail
clothing product sales. As a percent of sales, retail segment gross
margin increased 20 basis points to 46.0%. On an adjusted basis, retail
segment gross margin increased $4.1 million, or 20 basis points,
primarily due to leveraging of occupancy costs.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense decreased $1.3 million to $37.3 million and
decreased 20 basis points as a percent of sales to 4.6%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

On a GAAP basis, SG&A increased $2.8 million to $246.3 million and
increased 30 basis points as a percent of sales. On an adjusted basis,
SG&A decreased $4.1 million to $239.3 million primarily due to lower
share-based compensation and the impact of the MW Cleaners divestiture
partially offset by higher store commissions. As a percent of sales,
adjusted SG&A decreased 60 basis points to 29.4%.

Goodwill Impairment Charge

During the third quarter of 2018, sales, profitability and cash flow of
our corporate apparel segment underperformed in comparison to our
forecast. The performance of our corporate apparel business was and
continues to be impacted by increasing uncertainty surrounding Brexit,
which is resulting in lower replenishment demand from existing accounts
in the UK. In addition, in the third quarter of 2018, we received
notification from a significant U.S. customer of their decision not to
renew their existing agreement with us in 2019. As a result of the
continued uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the notification from our
U.S. customer, we lowered our forecast of sales, profitability and cash
flow for the corporate apparel segment for the fourth quarter of 2018
and future years.

As a result of the factors above, we determined that a triggering event
occurred during the third quarter of 2018 and an interim goodwill
impairment test for our corporate apparel segment was required. We
concluded that the segment’s goodwill was fully impaired and recorded a
non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $24.0 million during the third
quarter of 2018.

Operating Income

On a GAAP basis, operating income was $55.1 million compared to $76.6
million last year. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $86.1
million, up 12.3% compared to $76.6 million last year. As a percent of
sales, adjusted operating margin increased 110 basis points to 10.6%.

Net Interest Expense and Net Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Net interest expense was $18.6 million compared to $24.3 million last
year. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the reduction of
outstanding debt.

On a GAAP basis, net loss on extinguishment of debt was $9.4 million
compared to a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million last
year. The net loss on extinguishment of debt resulted from the repricing
of our term loan and consisted of the write-off of original issue
discount and deferred financing costs. On an adjusted basis, there was
no net loss on extinguishment of debt for the quarter compared to a net
gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million in the third quarter last
year.

Effective Tax Rate

On a GAAP basis, the effective tax rate was 48.9% compared to 32.8% last
year. The increased rate this year primarily reflects the
non-deductibility of both the goodwill impairment charge and CEO
retirement costs. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 23.9%
compared to 32.8% last year. Both the GAAP and the adjusted effective
tax rates reflect the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Net Earnings and EPS

On a GAAP basis, net earnings were $13.9 million compared to $36.9
million last year. Diluted EPS was $0.27 compared to $0.75 last year.

On an adjusted basis, net earnings were $51.4 million compared to $36.9
million last year. Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.01 compared to $0.75 last
year.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2018 were
$68.4 million, a decrease of $57.8 million compared to the end of the
third quarter of 2017, resulting from the use of cash on hand in the
second quarter of 2018 to fund a portion of the $175 million partial
redemption of senior notes. At the end of the third quarter of 2018,
there were $58.5 million of borrowings outstanding on our revolving
credit facility.

Inventories decreased $98.0 million to $875.0 million at the end of the
third quarter of 2018, compared to the end of the third quarter of 2017,
primarily due to a 10% reduction in retail segment inventories.

During the third quarter, the Company made its scheduled $2.3 million
payment on its term loan and repaid $46.0 million on its revolving
credit facility. Total debt at the end of the third quarter of 2018 was
approximately $1.2 billion, a decrease of $299.6 million compared to the
end of the third quarter of 2017.

Cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended November
3, 2018, was $277.8 million compared to $252.5 million last year. The
increase was driven by higher net earnings, after adjusting for certain
items primarily related to extinguishment of debt and goodwill
impairment, and favorable timing fluctuations in accounts payable,
partially offset by an increase in inventories ahead of the fourth
quarter holiday season.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended November 3, 2018, were
$46.9 million compared to $56.0 million last year.

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, if applicable, for our fiscal third
quarter and nine months ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017.
This non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the user’s
overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance by removing
the impacts of large, unusual or unique transactions that we believe are
not indicative of our core business results. For the third quarter of
fiscal 2018, adjusted items consist of a goodwill impairment charge
related to our corporate apparel business, a loss on extinguishment of
debt related to the repricing of the Company’s term loan, costs related
to the retirement of our former CEO and costs related to the closure of
a rental product distribution center. There were no adjusted items in
last year’s third quarter.

Management uses these adjusted results to assess the Company’s
performance, to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to
develop expectations for future performance. In addition, adjusted EPS
is used as a performance measure in the Company’s executive compensation
program to determine the number of performance units that are ultimately
earned for certain equity awards.

The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to,
not as a substitute for or as being superior to, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management strongly encourages
investors and shareholders to review the Company’s financial statements
and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any
single financial measure.

A reconciliation of full year fiscal 2018 adjusted EPS, which is a
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the Company
is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort.
The inability to provide this reconciliation is due to the uncertainty
and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact
and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized.
These GAAP measures may include the impact of items such as costs
related to optimizing our capital structure and the tax effect of such
items. Historically, the Company has excluded these types of items from
non-GAAP financial measures. The Company currently expects to continue
to exclude these items in future disclosures of non-GAAP financial
measures and may also exclude other items that may arise. The decisions
and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP
adjustments are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may
occur. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the
probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be
material to future results.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP information to our actual results follow and
amounts may not sum due to rounded numbers. In addition, only the line
items affected by adjustments are shown in the tables.
