FOURTH Quarter REVIEW
-- Total Company sales decreased 4.0% for the quarter.
o Clothing product sales, representing 85.3% of fiscal fourth quarter
2009 total net sales, decreased 4.1% due to decreases in the Company's
comparable store sales primarily driven by a reduction in store
traffic levels and a lower domestic average ticket.
o Tuxedo rental sales, representing 7.7% of fiscal fourth quarter 2009
total net sales, decreased 1.2%.
-- Gross margin before occupancy costs, as a percentage of total net sales,
decreased 105 basis points from 53.7% to 52.7%. Clothing product
margins, as a percentage of related sales, decreased 127 basis points
primarily due to increased promotional activities.
-- Occupancy costs increased, as a percentage of total net sales, by 35
basis points from 15.3% to 15.7%. On an absolute dollar basis, occupancy
costs decreased 1.9% from $73.0 million in the prior year to $71.6
million.
-- In the fourth quarter, the Company incurred a pretax non-cash asset
impairment charge related to 157 stores (145 Men's Wearhouse and Tux
stores and 12 K&G stores) in the amount of $19.5 million. Selling,
general, and administrative expenses, excluding this charge, were $184.3
million in the current year and decreased 4.3% from the prior year's
adjusted SG&A of $192.6 million which excludes an $8.8 million pretax
gain from an asset sale and a $1.8 million pretax non-cash asset
impairment charge. As a percentage of total net sales, adjusted SG&A
decreased 10 basis points from 40.4% to 40.3%. Adjusted SG&A excluding
advertising decreased 3.8% from the adjusted prior year quarter.
-- Operating loss excluding the $19.5 million pretax non-cash asset
impairment charge was $15.1 million or negative 3.3% of total net sales
compared to adjusted operating loss of $9.6 million or negative 2.0% of
total net sales for the same period last year, which excludes an $8.8
million pretax gain from an asset sale and a $1.8 million pretax
non-cash asset impairment charge.
-- Cash and cash equivalent balances as of the end of the fourth quarter of
2009 were $186.0 million, an increase of $81.5 million over the cash and
cash equivalent balances plus amounts held in short-term investments as
of the same period last year.
-- Total inventories as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2009 were
$431.5 million, a decrease of 2.0% from the prior year same period of
$440.1 million.
-- Long term debt as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2009 was $43.5
million, a decrease of $19.4 million from the same period last year.
-- Fiscal 2009 total capital expenditures were $56.9 million, which
consisted of $29.9 million for new stores, store remodels and store
relocations and $27.0 million related to information technology and
distribution centers and other corporate projects.
-- During fiscal 2009, the Company opened 5 new Men's Wearhouse stores and
1 Men's Wearhouse and Tux store and closed 4 Men's Wearhouse stores, 1
K&G store, and 36 Men's Wearhouse and Tux stores.
FIRST QUARTER 2010 GUIDANCE
-- For the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Company expects GAAP
diluted earnings per share in a range of $0.12 to $0.16.
-- The Company anticipates comparable store sales at its MW stores to be
flat to a decline in the low single digit range, at K&G a decrease in
the low single digit range and at Moores a flat to low single digit
decrease. Included in this outlook is a low single digit increase in
tuxedo rental revenues.
-- Total gross profit for the first quarter is expected to increase in the
low single digit range from the prior year. Occupancy costs are expected
to decrease in a low single digit range in absolute dollar terms.
Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase in
the low single digit range from the prior year.
-- This guidance includes an estimated effective tax rate of 35.2% for the
first quarter.
-- Fully diluted shares outstanding of 52.5 million are estimated for the
first quarter.
-- Capital expenditures for the full year are targeted in a range of $55
million to $60 million and depreciation and amortization is estimated at
