FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Tailored Brands, Inc. (NYSE: TLRD) today announced consolidated financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended November 2, 2019.

For the third quarter ended November 2, 2019, the Company reported GAAP earnings from continuing operations per diluted share of $0.56 compared to earnings from continuing operations per diluted share of $0.69 in the third quarter last year. Excluding the impact of certain items in both periods, third quarter 2019 adjusted earnings from continuing operations per diluted share(1) were $0.53 compared to adjusted earnings from continuing operations per diluted share(1) of $0.95 last year.

Third quarter 2019 pre-tax results include $6.2 million of charges related to our multi-year cost savings and operational excellence programs consisting of $5.5 million in consulting costs, $0.6 million in severance costs and $0.1 million in lease termination costs. In addition, we have reflected the results of the corporate apparel business, including the loss on sale, as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Tailored Brands President and CEO Dinesh Lathi said, “We are pleased to report third quarter comparable sales and adjusted earnings per share above our expectations. We delivered sequential comparable sales improvement at both Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank, with a return to positive comparable sales at Jos. A. Bank. On a sequential basis, both brands generated higher transactions and increased comparable sales across multiple merchandise categories. Our third quarter performance reflects continued progress in each of our transformational strategies, including improved sales in our polished casual categories, higher online sales driven by enhanced e-commerce experiences and online marketing, and new customer acquisition and increased traffic reflecting more effective marketing campaigns and channel strategies.”

_________________________________________

(1) We have reflected the results of the corporate apparel business, including the loss on sale, as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In addition, we have recast our non-GAAP presentation for prior periods to remove the results of the corporate apparel business and provide results from continuing operations. The Company believes that disclosure of non-GAAP results for its continuing operations is meaningful to the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, adjusted items consist of $6.2 million in costs related to our multi-year cost savings and operational excellence programs including consulting, severance and lease termination costs and the net release of tax-related valuation allowances totaling $5.9 million. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, adjusted items consisted of 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 in the second quarter of 2018. See Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information on items excluded from adjusted EPS for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and with respect to the Company’s outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Lathi added, “While we still have much more work in front of us, we are encouraged by the improved momentum in the business. To further accelerate our transformation, we have created a new chief customer officer role providing common leadership for our Men’s Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank and Moores brands, and we have eliminated the brand president positions for these brands. Carrie Ask, currently brand president of Men’s Wearhouse and Moores, has been appointed chief customer officer. We believe the new structure heightens our focus and ability to unlock value across our brand portfolio and will enable us to show up for our customers in more effective and efficient ways.”

Lathi concluded, “After more than a decade of impactful leadership at Tailored Brands, Mary Beth Blake, brand president, Jos. A. Bank, is resigning from the Company. We are immensely grateful for everything Mary Beth has done to enhance our performance and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

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

Net Sales

Total net sales decreased 3.0% to $729.5 million primarily due to a decrease in comparable sales of 2.2%.

Comparable Sales

Men’s Wearhouse comparable sales decreased 2.8%. Comparable sales for clothing decreased due to a decrease in average unit retail partially offset by an increase in both transactions and units per transaction. Comparable rental services revenue decreased 2.6%, primarily reflecting a tough comparison against the most popular wedding date of 2018.

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

K&G comparable sales decreased 1.5% primarily due to a decrease in both units per transaction and transactions partially offset by an increase in average unit retail.

Moores comparable sales decreased 5.5% primarily due to a decrease in both average unit retail and transactions while units per transaction were essentially flat.

Gross Margin

On a GAAP basis, consolidated gross margin was $308.0 million, a decrease of $37.5 million, primarily due to the decrease in net sales. As a percent of sales, both total gross margin and adjusted total gross margin decreased 380 basis points to 42.2%, primarily due to increased promotional activities, as well as deleveraging of occupancy costs.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense decreased $3.1 million to $34.0 million primarily driven by reductions in television advertising reflecting a shift to more efficient online advertising, as well as the timing of marketing spend. As a percent of sales, advertising expense decreased 20 basis points to 4.7%.

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

On a GAAP basis, SG&A decreased $4.6 million to $228.5 million and increased 30 basis points as a percent of sales. On an adjusted basis, SG&A decreased $3.8 million to $222.3 million primarily due to lower employee-related benefit costs. As a percent of sales, adjusted SG&A increased 40 basis points to 30.5% primarily due to deleveraging from lower sales.

Operating Income

On a GAAP basis, operating income was $45.5 million compared to $75.3 million last year and operating margin decreased 380 basis points. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $51.7 million compared to $82.3 million last year. As a percent of sales, adjusted operating margin decreased 380 basis points to 7.1%.

Net Interest Expense and Net Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Net interest expense was $17.4 million compared to $18.6 million last year. The decrease in interest expense was due to the reduction of outstanding debt.

On a GAAP basis, net loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million this year compared to $9.4 million last year. This year’s net loss on extinguishment of debt resulted from the Company’s open market repurchases of senior notes. Last year’s 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 a $0.1 million net loss on extinguishment of debt this year with no such loss last year.

Effective Tax Rate

On a GAAP basis, the effective tax rate was 0.9% compared to 26.5% last year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the net release of valuation allowances totaling $5.9 million. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 23.1% compared to 24.4% last year.

Net Earnings and EPS

On a GAAP basis, net earnings from continuing operations were $27.8 million compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $34.8 million last year. Diluted EPS was $0.56 compared to diluted EPS of $0.69 last year.

On an adjusted basis, net earnings from continuing operations were $26.3 million compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $48.2 million last year. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.53 compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $0.95 last year.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2019 were $21.2 million, a decrease of $35.1 million compared to the end of the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to the decrease in sales and the use of cash on hand for costs related to our multi-year cost savings and operational excellence programs, and debt reduction. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, there were $67.5 million of borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility. Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter was $477.0 million, comprised of availability on our revolving credit facility and cash and cash equivalents.

Inventories increased $6.1 million, or 0.8%, to $778.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2019 compared to the end of the third quarter of 2018.

Total debt at the end of the third quarter of 2019 was approximately $1.1 billion, down $56.2 million compared to the end of the third quarter of 2018. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased and retired $54.8 million in face value of its senior notes and made its scheduled $2.3 million payment on its term loan, while borrowings on our revolving credit facility increased $22.5 million for seasonal working capital needs.

Cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 was $65.6 million compared to $277.8 million last year. The decrease was driven by lower net earnings after adjusting for non-cash items, fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily due to timing, and anniversarying $15.0 million of income tax refunds received in the third quarter last year.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 were $63.4 million compared to $46.9 million last year. The Company expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2019 of $90.0 million to $95.0 million.

During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 2,336,852 shares through open market repurchases for $10.0 million at an average price of $4.28 per share, as part of a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in March 2013. At November 2, 2019, the remaining balance available under the Board’s authorization was $38.0 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 the fiscal third quarters and nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018. 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. In addition, we have recast our non-GAAP presentation for prior periods to remove the results of the corporate apparel business and provide results from continuing operations. The Company believes that disclosure of non-GAAP results for its continuing operations is meaningful to the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, adjusted items consist of costs related to our multi-year cost savings and operational excellence programs and the net release of tax-related valuation allowances. For the third quarter of fiscal 2018, adjusted items consisted of 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.

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 from continuing operations 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 fourth quarter fiscal 2019 adjusted EPS from continuing operations, 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 savings and operational excellence programs 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.
