Perry Ellis International, Inc. (NASDAQ:PERY) today reported
results for the first quarter ended May 2, 2009 (�first quarter of
fiscal 2010�).
Results from Operations
For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, total revenues decreased
by 9.7%, or $23.5 million, to $220.0 million compared to $243.5
million reported in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2008 (�first quarter of fiscal 2009�). Compared to last
year, the Company increased revenues in several of the Company�s
core businesses including:
(i) Strong performance of its golf brands at department and
mid-tier stores, increasing revenues by $9.6 million;
(ii) Positive results for Jantzen and Nike during current swim
season, increasing revenues by $3.2 million; and
(iii) Door expansion for Hispanic lifestyle brands, particularly
Centro at Kohl�s and Cubavera at the department store channel, plus
new belts and accessories programs.
These increases were offset by:
(i) Further reduction of private label bottoms, accounting for
revenues of $7.0 million;
(ii) Departure of multiple retailers which filed for Chapter 11
during fiscal 2009, accounting for revenues of $6.2 million;
(iii) Planned licensing-out of Perry Ellis dress shirts
business, accounting for $3.4 million in revenues; and
(iv) Deceleration of PING golf business at the corporate
channel.
The Company also reported performance improvement in its
underperforming businesses as compared to the prior year,
particularly for the Laundry by Shelli Segal brand, Perry Ellis
retail outlets as well as its international business in the
U.K.
�We remain focused on improving the performance of those
businesses challenged during fiscal 2009. The cost reduction
efforts we implemented last year are proving successful in bringing
these platforms back to profitability. We are particularly
encouraged by our Perry Ellis retail performance this past
quarter,� Oscar Feldenkreis, President and COO commented.
Pressured both by the planned exit of the licensed PING golf
business and by the unusually promotional retail environment,
particularly for private label programs within bottoms and swim,
gross margins decreased to 31.5% compared to 34.7% during the first
quarter of fiscal 2009.
�Considering the overall weakness of the consumer environment,
our diversification strategy has proven key to a solid first
quarter performance, ahead of expectations. Overall, we continue to
gain market share in those areas where we hold strong competitive
advantages. These are encouraging developments and signal that the
consumer is beginning to feel less anxious; however we believe that
the recovery will follow a slow upward slope and will take several
quarters to be completed,� Mr. Feldenkreis continued.
Driven by the cost cutting initiatives reported during the
fourth quarter of last year, the Company�s first quarter operating
expenditures decreased by $7.9 million to $54.4 million, compared
to $62.3 million for the first quarter of the prior year. EBITDA
was $14.9 million compared to $22.3 million for the first quarter
of fiscal 2009. A table showing the reconciliation of EBITDA to net
income is attached. Net income for the period was $5.8 million
compared to $9.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Net income was positively impacted by a lower effective tax rate.
Earnings at $0.46 per fully diluted share were down $0.14 compared
to $0.60 for the same period last year. This compares positively to
Thomson One Call estimates of $0.24 for the Company during the
first quarter of fiscal 2010.
�We have acted decisively to adjust our cost structure to the
new business reality of this year and expect to deliver solid
results during fiscal 2010. We also continue to review all of our
businesses for profitability and will take the necessary steps on
those businesses that we believe cannot be accretive to our
business model� Mr. Feldenkreis concluded.
Balance Sheet Update
Disciplined working capital management allowed the Company to
strengthen its liquidity and financial position. Proactive retail
planning and strong sell-throughs led to a decrease in inventories
of $26.3 million or 18.7% compared to April 30, 2008, and at
quarter end inventories were $114.5 million. Accounts receivables
were reduced to $154.7 million, compared to $172.4 million compared
to April 30, 2008. This represents a $17.7 million or 10.2%
reduction, in line with the decrease in total revenues of 9.7%.
Cash flow from operations was a source of $17.4 million in
working capital as compared to a use of $31.1 million during the
prior year period. Disciplined cash management reduced borrowings
under the senior credit facility to $38.3 million, compared to
$65.3 million at April 30, 2008.
�In a challenging consumer environment, we are managing Perry
Ellis International to maintain strong liquidity with a solid
balance sheet, thereby operating from a position of strength,�
George Feldenkreis, Chairman and CEO, commented. �As the economy
recovers, companies such as ours - that are managed conservatively
and focused on efficiency - will emerge stronger positioned to take
advantage of multiple opportunities that lay ahead of us.�
Fiscal 2010 Guidance
The Company confirmed its guidance of a total revenue decrease
in the high single to low double digits, gross margin improvements
towards the second half of the year and expense reductions of
approximately $15 million for the entire year.
�We reported a first quarter above analysts� expectations and we
are beginning to see positive signs in the consumer environment.
Accordingly, we are confirming our perspective for a profitable
year, with improvements during the second half of the year,� Mr.
Feldenkreis commented. �However, until the uncertainty in the
macroeconomic environment subsides and the full performance of our
Spring/Summer collection is assessed, we will continue our policy
of not providing specific guidance ranges for the remaining of the
year,� Mr. Feldenkreis concluded.
