    of $2.31
  • FY 2018 retail segment comparable sales up 1.2%

FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Tailored Brands, Inc. (NYSE:TLRD) today announced consolidated financial
results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended February 2, 2019
and provided guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

For the fourth quarter ended February 2, 2019, the Company reported GAAP
diluted earnings per share of $0.12 and adjusted diluted loss per share
of $0.28, compared to GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.01 and adjusted
diluted loss per share of $0.00 for the same period a year ago.

Fourth quarter 2018 GAAP results include a favorable non-cash adjustment
to net sales totaling $17.6 million reflecting a reduction of the
deferred revenue liability as a result of changes made to our loyalty
programs during the fourth quarter of 2018.

For the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019, the Company reported GAAP
diluted EPS of $1.64 and adjusted diluted EPS(1) of $2.31,
compared to GAAP diluted EPS of $1.95 and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.20
for the same period a year ago.

“In fiscal 2018, we delivered positive retail comps of 1.2%, with all
brands positive, and we reported full year adjusted EPS of $2.31,
consistent with the revised guidance we provided in January. We
significantly strengthened our balance sheet, reducing our total debt by
$232 million and extending the maturity on our term loan to 2025, and we
generated strong operating cash flow of $323 million,” said Tailored
Brands Executive Chairman Dinesh Lathi.

“While all of our retail brands delivered positive comps for the full
year, during the fourth quarter, comps at Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A.
Bank were down and this trend has continued into the first quarter of
2019. We attribute the current softness to both the macro-environment as
well as the need for us to execute more quickly and effectively on our
core growth strategies: deliver personalized products and services,
create inspiring and seamless experiences in and across every channel,
and build brands that stand for something more than just price. Our
teams are intently focused on delivering against these objectives in
fiscal 2019 as we look to build long-term sustainable value creation for
our stakeholders.”

In fiscal 2017, the fourth quarter and year included an additional
operating week (“53rd week”) compared to fiscal 2018. Net
sales related to the extra week in fiscal 2017 were $45.7 million and
the Company estimates that the impact of the extra week was $0.05 per
diluted share.

(1)     In fiscal 2018, adjusted items consisted of a favorable net sales
adjustment reflecting the impact of changes made to our loyalty
programs, a goodwill impairment charge related to our corporate
apparel business, losses on extinguishment of debt related to the
refinancing and repricing of the Company’s term loan and the partial
redemption of senior notes, costs related to the retirement of our
former CEO, costs related to the closure of a rental product
distribution center, a loss upon sale of our divestiture of the MW
Cleaners business and the finalization of the tax effects of the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. In fiscal 2017, adjusted items consisted
of costs to terminate our tuxedo rental license agreement with
Macy’s, a goodwill impairment charge related to our divestiture of
MW Cleaners and one-time tax adjustments. See Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures for additional information on items excluded from
adjusted EPS.

Net Sales

On a GAAP basis, total net sales decreased 8.6% to $785.8 million. On an
adjusted basis, which excludes the $17.6 million favorable impact of
changes made to our loyalty programs, total net sales decreased 10.7% to
$768.1 million.

On a GAAP basis, retail net sales decreased 7.3% to $730.0 million. On
an adjusted basis, retail net sales decreased 9.5% to $712.4 million.
The decrease was primarily due to the impact of last year’s 53rd
week, the 1.5% decrease in retail comparable sales, and a $12.0 million
decrease in alteration and other services revenue largely resulting from
the MW Cleaners divestiture.

Corporate apparel net sales decreased 23.3% to $55.7 million, primarily
due to lower replenishment demand in both the United Kingdom (“UK”) and
the U.S., the impact of last year’s 53rd week, and the impact
of a weaker British pound this year.

Comparable Sales

Men’s Wearhouse comparable sales decreased 3.2%. Comparable sales for
clothing decreased primarily due to decreases in both transactions and
units per transaction partially offset by an increase in average unit
retail. Comparable rental services revenue increased 0.7%.

Jos. A. Bank comparable sales decreased 0.5% primarily due to decreases
in both transactions and units per transaction partially offset by an
increase in average unit retail.

K&G comparable sales increased 0.9% due to an increase in average unit
retail partially offset by a decrease in transactions while units per
transaction were flat.

Moores comparable sales increased 2.8% primarily due to an increase in
average unit retail that more than offset decreases in both transactions
and units per transaction.

Gross Margin

On a GAAP basis, consolidated gross margin was $300.6 million, a
decrease of $20.3 million, primarily due to the impact of last year’s 53rd
week, somewhat offset by the $17.6 million favorable net sales
adjustment reflecting the impact of changes made to our loyalty
programs. As a percent of net sales, consolidated gross margin increased
100 basis points to 38.3%. On an adjusted basis, consolidated gross
margin decreased $37.9 million, or 50 basis points, to 36.8% primarily
due to deleveraging of occupancy costs driven by the impact of the 53rd
week partially offset by higher corporate apparel gross margins due to
customer mix and the impact of renegotiated pricing arrangements with
our UK customers.

On a GAAP basis, retail segment gross margin was $283.7 million, a
decrease of $18.5 million, primarily due to the impact of last year’s 53rd
week, somewhat offset by the $17.6 million favorable net sales
adjustment reflecting the impact of changes made to our loyalty
programs. As a percent of net sales, retail segment gross margin
increased 50 basis points to 38.9%. On an adjusted basis, retail segment
gross margin decreased $36.2 million, or 110 basis points to 37.3%,
primarily due to deleveraging of occupancy costs driven by the impact of
the 53rd week.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense decreased $3.4 million to $49.2 million. As a
percent of net sales, advertising expense increased 20 basis points to
6.3%. As a percent of adjusted sales, advertising expense increased 30
basis points to 6.4% primarily due to deleveraging from lower sales.

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

On a GAAP basis, SG&A decreased $17.9 million to $234.9 million and as a
percent of net sales increased 50 basis points to 29.9%, primarily due
to the impact of last year’s 53rd week and the impact of the
MW Cleaners divestiture. As a percent of adjusted sales, SG&A increased
120 basis points to 30.6%, primarily due to deleveraging from lower
sales.

Operating Income

On a GAAP basis, operating income was $16.0 million compared to $13.3
million last year. On an adjusted basis, operating loss was $1.7 million
compared to operating income of $14.8 million last year.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $17.8 million compared to $25.0 million last
year. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the reduction of
outstanding debt as well as the impact of last year’s 53rd
week.

Effective Tax Rate

On a GAAP basis, the effective tax rate was a benefit of 433.0% compared
to a benefit of 96.1% last year. Our GAAP effective tax rate includes a
$6.1 million credit reflecting finalization of the provisional amounts
that were recorded in last year’s fourth quarter related to the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act of 2017. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was
27.0% compared to 99.3% last year. Both the GAAP and the adjusted
effective tax rates reflect the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of
2017.

of $0.5 million last year. Diluted EPS was $0.12 compared to a diluted

of $0.1 million last year. Adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.28
compared to an adjusted diluted loss per share of $0.00 last year.

Corporate apparel net sales decreased 6.3%, or $15.9 million, primarily
due to lower replenishment demand in the UK and the U.S. as well as the
impact of last year’s 53rd week, partially offset by a
stronger British pound for the full year.

adjustment reflecting the impact of changes made to our loyalty

shift from rental services to retail clothing sales and the divestiture
of MW Cleaners.

apparel segment’s goodwill was fully impaired and recorded a non-cash
goodwill impairment charge of $24.0 million.

Operating Income

Net Interest Expense and Net Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Net interest expense was $79.0 million compared to $99.9 million last
year reflecting the reduction in our outstanding debt.

On a GAAP basis, net loss on extinguishment of debt was $30.3 million
compared to a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $5.4 million last
year. The net loss on extinguishment of debt resulted primarily from the
refinancing and re-pricing of our term loan as well as the partial
redemption of $175 million of our senior notes. On an adjusted basis,
net loss on extinguishment of debt for fiscal 2018 was $0.9 million
compared to a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $5.4 million last
year.

On a GAAP basis, the effective tax rate was 18.9% compared to 28.3% last
year. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 23.7% compared to

reflect the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Net Earnings and EPS

On a GAAP basis, net earnings were $83.2 million compared to $96.7
million last year. Diluted EPS was $1.64 compared to $1.95 last year.

$108.6 million last year. Adjusted diluted EPS was $2.31 compared to
$2.20 last year. The Company estimates that the impact of the 53rd
week in 2017 was $0.05 per diluted share.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2018 were $55.4 million,
a decrease of $48.2 million compared to the end of 2017, primarily
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 2018, there were $48.5 million of borrowings
outstanding on our revolving credit facility.

Inventories decreased $21.5 million to $830.4 million at the end of 2018
compared to the end of 2017, primarily due to a 10.6% reduction in
corporate apparel segment inventories, including the impact of foreign
exchange. Retail segment inventories were down 1.2%.

Total debt at the end of 2018 was approximately $1.2 billion, a decrease
of $231.9 million compared to the end of 2017. During the fourth
quarter, the Company made its scheduled $2.3 million payment on its term
loan and repaid $10.0 million on its revolving credit facility.

Cash flow from operating activities for fiscal 2018 was $322.7 million
compared to $350.8 million last year. The decrease was driven by higher
inventory purchases compared to last year partially offset by higher net
earnings, after adjusting for certain items primarily related to
extinguishment of debt and goodwill impairment, as well as favorable
fluctuations in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current
liabilities primarily due to timing.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2018 were $82.3 million compared to
$95.0 million last year.

  • Earnings per Share: The Company expects to achieve adjusted
    diluted EPS in the range of $0.10 to $0.15.

    stores.

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 our fiscal fourth quarters and
twelve months of 2018 and 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 fiscal 2018, adjusted items consisted of a
favorable adjustment to net sales reflecting a reduction of the deferred
revenue liability as a result of changes made to our loyalty programs
during the fourth quarter of 2018, a goodwill impairment charge related
to our corporate apparel business, losses on extinguishment of debt
related to the refinancing and re-pricing of the Company’s term loan and
the partial redemption of senior notes, costs related to the retirement
of our former CEO, costs related to the closure of a rental product
distribution center, a loss upon sale of our divestiture of the MW
Cleaners business and finalization of the tax effects of the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act of 2017. For fiscal 2017, adjusted items consisted of costs
to terminate our tuxedo rental license agreement with Macy’s, a goodwill
impairment charge related to our divestiture of MW Cleaners and one-time
tax adjustments.

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 first quarter fiscal 2019 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 our multi-year cost saving initiative 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.
