- Exceeds sales and earnings guidance -
- Fourth quarter adjusted EPS of $0.21 -
- Increases quarterly dividend to $0.11 per share -
ATLANTA, March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE: OXM) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and 2009 fiscal year ended January 30, 2010. Consolidated net sales were $190.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to $199.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, which ended January 31, 2009. On an adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share were $0.21 compared to $0.06 in the same period last year. On a U.S. GAAP basis earnings were $0.24 per diluted share in the fourth quarter compared to a loss of $18.19 per diluted share in the same period of the prior year. For reference, tables reconciling certain U.S. GAAP to adjusted measures for fiscal 2009 are included at the end of this release.
Amounts in this press release reflect a change in accounting principle related to inventory valuation and new accounting guidance related to the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. Both of these changes require retrospective restatement for all periods presented.
For fiscal 2009, consolidated net sales were $800.7 million compared to $947.5 million in fiscal 2008. On an adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share were $1.29 for the 2009 fiscal year compared to $1.41 in the prior year. On a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company reported earnings of $0.90 per diluted share in fiscal 2009 compared to a loss of $17.00 in the prior year.
J. Hicks Lanier, Chairman and CEO of Oxford Industries, Inc. commented, "Through focused risk management and effective operating discipline, we have weathered this turbulent year in a manner that has preserved the integrity of our brands and positioned us well for 2010. We went into 2009 with sales planned at a lower level, and still delivered improved gross margins, significantly reduced expenses, appropriately lower inventory levels and a respectable profit."
Mr. Lanier continued. "In 2010, our primary focus will be on organic growth in our existing lifestyle brands. We expect to see growth in Tommy Bahama driven by improvements in both our retail and wholesale businesses and we will set the stage for future growth primarily through store openings, ongoing development of our e-commerce business and an expanded international roll-out. We are excited by the prospect of renewed growth in Tommy Bahama and expect it to drive an increase in our consolidated operating margins."
The Company noted that inventories at the end of the fiscal year were $77.0 million compared to $119.6 million at January 31, 2009. This net reduction of 36% was planned to mitigate inventory markdown risk and promotional pressure for the Company's operating groups. Liquidity remained strong with no borrowings and $112.7 million of availability at fiscal year end under the Company's U.S. revolving credit facility. Total debt at the end of fiscal 2009 was $146.4 million compared to $199.3 million at January 31, 2009. This reduction of 27% was primarily a result of positive cash flow from operations.
Operating Group Results
Tommy Bahama reported net sales of $94.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $96.7 million in the same period of the prior year. The fourth quarter sales decrease was primarily due to conservative inventory purchases for Holiday 2009 by the Company's key wholesale customers, partially offset by increased retail and e-commerce sales in Tommy Bahama. Tommy Bahama reported an operating profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 of $9.7 million, which included a $0.5 million write-off associated with a New York office lease. This compares to an operating loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 of $211.8 million, which included a $221.6 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and intangible assets, a $0.4 million non-cash fixed asset impairment charge and $0.3 million in severance charges. On an adjusted basis, operating income for the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter was $10.3 million, compared to $10.5 million in the same period of the prior year. At January 30, 2010, Tommy Bahama operated 84 retail locations, 12 of which also included Tommy Bahama cafes and 15 of which were outlet stores.
Ben Sherman reported net sales of $24.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $26.2 million in the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the Company's exit from the kids and footwear businesses, which were subsequently licensed to firms that specialize in those product categories. The decrease was partially offset by an 8% increase in the average exchange rate of the British pound sterling versus the U.S. dollar, as well as increased retail sales. Ben Sherman reported an operating loss of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily due to the impact of lower sales and $0.7 million in charges related to its exit from the women's business. This compares to an operating loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 of $86.5 million, which included an $83.8 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and intangible assets and $0.5 million of severance charges. On an adjusted basis, the operating loss for the quarter was $2.0 million compared to an operating loss of $2.2 million in the same period of the prior year.
Net sales for Lanier Clothes were $22.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $24.4 million reported in the same period of the prior year, with the decline primarily resulting from exiting certain businesses partially offset by increased sales in the continuing operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, Lanier Clothes reported operating income of $1.7 million compared to a fourth quarter operating loss in fiscal 2008 of $1.4 million, which included $0.6 million of restructuring charges. On an adjusted basis, operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $1.7 million compared to a $0.8 million operating loss in the same period of the prior year. The impact of lower sales was more than offset by improved gross margins and reductions in operating expenses.
Oxford Apparel reported net sales of $48.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $52.3 million in the same period of the prior year, with the decline primarily resulting from exiting certain businesses partially offset by increased sales in the continuing operations. Oxford Apparel reported operating income of $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to an operating loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 of $4.8 million, which included a $6.2 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and an investment in a joint venture and a $0.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to fixed assets no longer in use. On an adjusted basis, operating income for the quarter was $3.7 million compared to operating income of $2.3 million in the same period of the prior year.
Corporate and Other reported an operating loss of $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to an operating loss of $9.7 million in the same period of the prior year primarily due to LIFO accounting. On an adjusted basis, the operating loss increased to $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to an operating loss of $3.4 million in the same period of the prior year primarily due to additional stock compensation expense.
Consolidated Operating Results
Consolidated net sales were $190.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $199.9 million in last year's fourth quarter. For fiscal 2009, consolidated net sales were $800.7 million compared to $947.5 million in the prior fiscal year. Approximately half of the sales decline for the year resulted from exiting certain businesses in Oxford Apparel, Lanier Clothes and Ben Sherman with the balance primarily due to the depressed market conditions.
Consolidated gross margins for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 were 45.2% compared to 39.4% in the same period of the prior year. On an adjusted basis, excluding the impact of LIFO accounting and certain restructuring charges, fourth quarter fiscal 2009 gross margins were 44.4% compared to 42.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in gross margins for the quarter was primarily due to increased retail sales, which generally have higher gross margins than wholesale sales, as well as improved gross margins at Lanier Clothes. Consolidated gross margins for fiscal 2009 were 41.7% compared to 40.9% in fiscal 2008.
SG&A for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $79.6 million, or 41.8% of net sales, compared to $84.8 million, or 42.4% of net sales, in the same period of the prior year. For the full year, SG&A was $304.3 million, or 38.0% of net sales, compared to $358.1 million, or 37.8% of net sales in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A for the year reflected reductions in headcount and other overhead costs across all operating groups, cost reductions associated with the Company's exit from certain businesses, the impact of a 13% reduction in the average value of the British pound versus the U.S. dollar and lower restructuring charges. These cost savings were partially offset by expenses associated with the operation of additional retail stores.
For the year, amortization of intangible assets was $1.3 million compared to $2.9 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease resulted from amortization typically being greater in the earlier periods following an acquisition.
Royalties and other operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 were $4.1 million compared to $4.2 million in the same period of the prior year. For fiscal 2009, royalties and other operating income were $13.1 million compared to $17.3 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease for the year was primarily due to the termination of the license agreement for footwear in Tommy Bahama, the challenging economic conditions and the impact of foreign currency rates on royalty income in Ben Sherman.
Interest expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 increased to $5.2 million from $4.9 million in the same period of the prior year. Interest expense decreased to $21.4 million for fiscal 2009 compared to $23.7 million in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower debt levels resulting from the net impact of various changes to the Company's debt facilities, partially offset by the net impact of the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
Balance Sheet
Receivables were $74.4 million at January 30, 2010 compared to $78.6 million at January 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower wholesale sales in the last two months of fiscal 2009 compared to the last two months of fiscal 2008. The Company believes it is properly reserved for these receivables and that the overall quality of the receivables is sound.
Inventories at the end of fiscal 2009 were $77.0 million compared to $119.6 million at January 31, 2009. Inventory levels were reduced in each operating group as the Company focused on mitigating inventory markdown risk and promotional pressure and has exited certain lines of business.
Cash flow from operations was $81.6 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $90.4 million in the prior year. Fiscal 2009 cash flow from operations was driven by working capital reductions and earnings before the impact of non-cash items.
Dividend
The Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per share payable on April 30, 2010 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 15, 2010. This represents a 22% increase from the dividend paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company has paid dividends every quarter since it became publicly owned in 1960.
Outlook for Fiscal 2010
For fiscal year 2010, which ends on January 29, 2011, the Company expects net sales of $760 million to $775 million compared to $800.7 million in fiscal 2009. The Company expects an increase in Tommy Bahama sales in fiscal 2010 driven by growth in all channels of distribution. In Ben Sherman, Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel, the Company expects sales reductions in fiscal 2010, including approximately $35 million in sales related to businesses the Company has exited. The Company expects improved profitability at Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman will result in increased consolidated operating margins for 2010. Diluted earnings per common share are expected to be between $1.40 and $1.50.
In fiscal 2009, capital expenditures were $11.3 million. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2010 are planned to be approximately $15 million for additional retail stores as well as continuing information technology enhancements.
The Company expects net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to be in the range of $200 million to $210 million compared to net sales of $216.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The first quarter of 2009 included approximately $13 million in sales related to businesses that have been exited. Diluted earnings per common share are expected to be between $0.55 and $0.60 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to adjusted diluted earnings per common share of $0.48 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

As a result of the change in method of accounting for inventory, all of our domestic inventory is accounted for using the LIFO method and all of our international inventory is accounted for using the FIFO method. As LIFO accounting adjustments are not allocated to our operating groups, the restatement only impacted the operating results of Corporate and Other. RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN OPERATING RESULTS INFORMATION PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP TO CERTAIN OPERATING RESULTS, AS ADJUSTED Set forth below is our reconciliation of certain operating results information, presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, to the operating results information, as adjusted, for each of the four quarters of and full year fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008. We believe that investors often look at ongoing operations as a measure of assessing performance and as a basis for comparing past results against future results. Therefore, we believe that presenting our operating results excluding these items provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to make decisions based on our ongoing operations. We use the operating results excluding these items to discuss our business with investment institutions, our board of directors and others.

RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME (LOSS), PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP TO OPERATING INCOME (LOSS), AS ADJUSTED Set forth below are our reconciliations, of operating income (loss) for each operating group and in total, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to operating income (loss), as adjusted for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009. We believe that investors often look at ongoing operating group operating income (loss) as a measure of assessing performance and as a basis for comparing past results against future results. Therefore, we believe that presenting our operating group results excluding these items provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to make decisions based on our ongoing operating group results. We use the operating results excluding these items to discuss our operating groups with investment institutions, our board of directors and others. Further, we believe that presenting our operating results excluding these items provides useful information to investors because this allows investors to compare our operating group operating income (loss) for the periods presented to other periods.
