Francesca’s Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:FRAN) today reported
financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended
January 30, 2016.
Michael W. Barnes, Chairman, President, and CEO
stated, “Our fourth quarter results exceeded our expectations
across key metrics, illustrating that our near term initiatives are
working well. We are particularly pleased with the sequential
improvement in our apparel sales, which grew 35% during the fourth
quarter, as well as with the performance in our non-apparel sales
which increased 19%. As we look ahead to fiscal 2016, we remain
confident that we are well-positioned to deliver healthy sales and
earnings growth for the year. Overall, I continue to believe that
the francesca’s® brand has enormous untapped potential and we
remain focused on maximizing this opportunity by enhancing our
brand awareness and driving our top-line through the successful
execution of our Vision 2020 plan. We are confident that the steps
we are taking will drive consistent, long-term, profitable growth
for francesca’s®. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
and congratulate each of our associates for their hard work in
delivering an outstanding performance during fiscal 2015.”
FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Net sales increased 25% to $134.6 million from
$107.6 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was driven
by an 11% increase in comparable sales during the fourth quarter as
well as the opening of 83 boutiques during fiscal 2015. We opened
three boutiques and closed six underperforming boutiques during the
quarter bringing our total boutique count to 616 as of January 30,
2016.
The increase in comparable sales was driven by
increases in comparable transactions and average transaction value.
Direct-to-consumer sales increased 38% to $6.1 million during the
quarter compared to $4.4 million in the same period last year
primarily due to increased conversion rate.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales,
increased to 49.1% from 45.7% in the prior year quarter. This
favorable variance included a 290 basis points higher merchandise
margin and 50 basis points leverage in occupancy costs. The
improvement in merchandise margin was primarily driven by reduced
promotional activities during the quarter compared to last
year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
(“SG&A”) increased 9% to $42.0 million from $38.5 million in
the prior year quarter. Adjusted SG&A(1) increased 22% to $41.3
million from $33.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase
in adjusted SG&A is primarily due to higher boutique and
corporate payroll expenses to support the larger boutique base and
sales growth as well as increased performance-based incentive bonus
expenses over the prior year quarter.
Income from operations was $24.2 million, or
18.0% of net sales, compared to $10.7 million, or 10.0% of net
sales, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted income from
operations(1) was $24.8 million, or 18.4% of net sales, compared to
$15.4 million, or 14.3% of net sales, in the prior year
quarter.
Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter
was 38.9% compared to 43.1% in the comparable prior year quarter.
The prior year tax rate was impacted by the true-up of state income
taxes for years prior to fiscal 2014. Excluding this adjustment,
the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter last year was
38.1%.
Net income for the fourth quarter totaled $14.7
million, or $0.35 diluted earnings per share, compared to $6.0
million, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share, in the comparable
prior year period. Adjusted net income(1) for the fourth quarter
totaled $15.0 million, or $0.36 adjusted diluted earnings per
share(1), compared to $8.8 million, or $0.21 adjusted diluted
earnings per share(1), in the comparable prior year
period.
FULL YEAR RESULTS
Net sales increased 16% to $439.4 million in
fiscal year 2015 compared to $377.5 million in fiscal year 2014.
This year-over-year increase in sales is driven by a 3% increase in
comparable sales as well as the new boutiques opened since the
prior year end. Direct-to-consumer sales increased 18% versus the
prior year due to increased conversion rate.
During fiscal year 2015, we opened 83 new
boutiques and closed six underperforming boutiques.
Net income for fiscal year 2015 totaled $38.2
million, or $0.91 diluted earnings per share, compared to $32.1
million, or $0.76 diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net
income(1) for fiscal year 2015 totaled $38.5 million, or $0.92
adjusted diluted earnings per share(1), compared to $35.0 million,
or $0.83 adjusted diluted earnings per share(1), in fiscal year
2014.________________________________________________________(1)
See Schedule 2 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP
measure.
BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY
Total cash and cash equivalents at year end were $56.2 million
compared to $39.1 million at the prior year end. The Company had no
debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility at year
end.
The Company ended the year with $31.5 million of
inventory on hand compared to $23.8 million at the prior year end.
Average ending inventory per boutique increased by 16%. The
increase in inventory is primarily due to the increase in the
number of boutiques in operation in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal
2014. Additionally, prior year inventory levels were at a
historical low due to the disposal of certain slow moving inventory
closer to year-end.
During the fourth quarter, the Company
repurchased 910,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $14.6
million, or an average of $16.07 per share.
FIRST QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2016 GUIDANCE
For the first quarter ending April 30, 2016, net
sales are expected to be in the range of $108.0 million and $112.0
million; which assumes a mid-single digit increase in comparable
sales compared to the prior year comparable sales decrease of 2%.
The Company plans to open 20 to 25 new boutiques and close one to
three underperforming boutiques during the first quarter. Diluted
earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.17 to
$0.20.
For the full year ending January 28, 2017, net
sales are expected to be in the range of $474.0 million and $494.0
million; which assumes a low-single digit increase in comparable
sales compared to a prior year comparable sales increase of 3%. The
Company expects to open 50 to 60 new boutiques and close five to
ten underperforming boutiques in fiscal year 2016 compared to 83
new boutiques opened and six boutiques closed in fiscal year 2015.
Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.93
to $1.03. The number of average diluted shares for the full year
assumed in guidance is expected to be 40.2 million shares. The
effective tax rate is estimated to be 38.1%.
Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2016 are
expected to be in the range of $28.0 million to $31.0 million.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized an additional
$100 million share repurchase program to commence immediately. This
authorization has no expiration date. This authorization is in
addition to the Company’s previously authorized $100 million share
repurchase program (the “Previous Plan”). As of March 18,
2016, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be
purchased under the Previous Plan is approximately $5.7
million.
The specific timing and amount of the repurchases will be
dependent on market conditions, securities law limitations and
other factors. In connection with the repurchase program, the
Company plans to conduct open market purchases, adopt one or more
plans pursuant to the provisions of Rule 10b5-1, and such other
strategies as would be appropriate under the circumstances,
consistent with the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

SEC Regulation G — Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes non-GAAP adjusted
selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted income from
operations, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per
share, each a non-GAAP financial measure. We have reconciled these
non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures on Schedule 2 of this release. We believe that
these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide our management
with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but
also provide meaningful supplemental information to
investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures
allow investors to better understand the performance of our
business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of our quarterly
and fiscal year 2015 diluted earnings per share and actual results
on a comparable basis with our quarterly and fiscal year 2014
results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered a supplement
to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release are
"forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe-harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
as amended. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current
expectations or beliefs concerning future events and are subject to
various risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ materially from those that we expected. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the
risk that we cannot anticipate, identify and respond quickly to
changing fashion trends and customer preferences; our ability to
attract a sufficient number of customers to our boutiques or sell
sufficient quantities of our merchandise through our
direct-to-consumer business; our ability to successfully open and
operate new boutiques each year; our ability to efficiently source
and distribute additional merchandise quantities necessary to
support our growth and; our ability to attract and integrate a new
Chief Financial Officer. For additional information regarding these
and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking
statements, please refer to "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2015 and any risk

file with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or
