Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain information included in this report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contains or may contain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), including, but not limited to, statements regarding our future financial performance and financial condition. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "envisions," "targets," "goals," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views regarding certain events that could affect our financial condition or results of operations and may include, but are not limited to, references to future sales, comparable sales, margins, costs, earnings, number and costs of store openings, closings, remodels, relocations and expansions, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, synergies from acquisitions, business strategies, demand for clothing or rental product, market trends in the retail and corporate apparel clothing business, currency fluctuations, inflation and various political, legal, regulatory, social, economic and business trends.  Forward-looking statements are based upon management's current beliefs or expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies and third party approvals, many of which are beyond our control.

 

Any forward-looking statements that we make herein and in future reports are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: actions by governmental entities; domestic and international macro-economic conditions; inflation or deflation; the loss of, or changes in, key personnel; success, or lack thereof, in formulating or executing our internal strategies and operating plans including new store and new market expansion plans, cost reduction initiatives, store rationalization plans, profit improvement plans, and revenue enhancement strategies; the impact of the termination of our tuxedo rental license agreement with Macy's; changes in demand for clothing or rental product; market trends in the retail business; customer confidence and spending patterns; changes in traffic trends in our stores; customer acceptance of our merchandise strategies; performance issues with key suppliers; disruptions in our supply chain; severe weather; foreign currency fluctuations; government export and import policies; advertising or marketing activities of competitors; and legal proceedings. Please also see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC, for a more complete discussion of these and other factors that might affect our performance and financial results.

 

Forward-looking statements are intended to convey the Company's expectations about the future, and speak only as of the date they are made.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.  However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent reports on Forms 10‑K, 10‑Q and 8‑K should be consulted. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and all written or oral forward-looking statements that are made by or attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referenced in this section.

1. Significant Accounting Policies    

 

Basis of Presentation — The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of Tailored Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  As applicable under such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted.  We believe the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, and the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Our business results historically have fluctuated throughout the year and, as a result, the operating results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, "Company", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Tailored Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures.  Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — We have considered all new accounting pronouncements and have concluded there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, based on current information, except for those listed below. 

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases.  ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The main difference between previous U.S. GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted.  The guidance is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach.  We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows but expect that it will result in a significant increase in our long-term assets and liabilities given we have a considerable number of operating leases.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.  As a result of this deferral, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The guidance allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. 

 

Based on our preliminary assessment, we determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact the timing of revenue recognition related to our customer loyalty program and gift cards. Upon adoption, for our customer loyalty program, we will no longer use the incremental cost method approach, rather we will use a deferred revenue model.  For income from breakage of gift cards, which is currently recognized as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") when the redemption of the gift card is remote, the new guidance requires classification within net sales with breakage recognized proportionately over the expected redemption period. Additionally, under the new guidance, we expect to recognize allowances for estimated sales returns on a gross basis rather than net basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are in the process of finalizing and quantifying the effects of the areas described above including additional disclosure requirements.  We will adopt ASU 2014-09 on February 4, 2018, under the modified retrospective approach, which will result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

2.  Termination of Tuxedo Rental License Agreement with Macy's

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we reached an agreement with Macy's to wind down operations under the tuxedo rental license agreement established between Macy's and The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. ("The Men's Wearhouse") in 2015. The winding down of our tuxedo shops within Macy's is complete and all tuxedo shops within Macy's closed in the second quarter of 2017. 

 

As a result of the agreement, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we incurred $17.2 million of termination-related costs, of which $14.6 million were cash charges.  These costs included $12.3 million related to contract termination, $1.4 million of rental product write-offs, $1.2 million of asset impairment charges and $2.3 million of other costs, all of which relate to our retail segment. Of the $17.2 million in termination-related costs, $15.8 million is recorded in SG&A and $1.4 million is included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.  At October 28, 2017, $0.4 million of such costs are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

3.  Restructuring and Other Charges

 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we began implementing initiatives intended to reduce costs and improve operating performance.  These initiatives included a store rationalization program as well as a profit improvement program to drive operating efficiencies and improve our expense structure. These programs were substantially completed in fiscal 2016 and resulted in the closure of 75 Jos. A. Bank full line stores, the closure of 56 factory and outlet stores at Jos. A. Bank and Men's Wearhouse and the closure of 102 Men's Wearhouse and Tux stores.

 

No charges were incurred under these initiatives for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017.  A summary of the charges incurred in the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016 incurred under these initiatives since inception is presented in the table below (amounts in thousands):

In addition to the restructuring costs described above, for the three months ended October 29, 2016, we incurred integration and other costs related to Jos. A. Bank totaling $1.4 million, of which $0.9 million are included in SG&A and $0.5 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. 

 

For the nine months ended October 29, 2016, we incurred integration and other costs related to Jos. A. Bank totaling $7.1 million, of which $5.5 million are included in SG&A and $1.6 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

 

4.  Earnings Per Share    

 

Basic earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflect the more dilutive earnings per common share amount calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method.  For the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, the treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings per common share while the two-class method was used for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders are computed using the actual net earnings allocated to common shareholders and the actual weighted-average common shares outstanding rather than the rounded numbers presented within our condensed consolidated statement of earnings and the accompanying notes.  As a result, it may not be possible to recalculate earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings and the accompanying notes. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):

5.  Debt

 

In 2014, The Men's Wearhouse entered into a term loan credit agreement that provides for a senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion (the "Term Loan") and a $500.0 million asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility", and together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities") with certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and Moores the Suit People Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, as co-borrowers. Proceeds from the Term Loan were reduced by an $11.0 million original issue discount ("OID"), which is presented as a reduction of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan on the balance sheet and will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the Term Loan. In addition, in 2014, The Men's Wearhouse issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Senior Notes").

 

In October 2017, The Men’s Wearhouse amended the ABL Facility in part to increase the principal amount available to $550.0 million and extend the maturity date to October 2022.  See Credit Facilities section below for additional information. 

 

The Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes contain customary non-financial and financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios, total leverage ratios and secured leverage ratios.  In addition, we are currently restricted on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in excess of $10.0 million per quarter. Since entering into these financing arrangements, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio have been above the maximums specified in the

agreements, which was anticipated when we entered into these arrangements. As a result, we were subject to certain additional restrictions, including limitations on our ability to make significant acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness. As of October 28, 2017, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio were below the maximums specified in the agreements and we believe these ratios will remain below the maximums specified in the agreements during the remainder of fiscal 2017 and beyond, which will result in the elimination of these additional restrictions. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facilities, we made a mandatory excess cash flow prepayment offer of $4.6 million to the Term Loan lenders prior to April 28, 2017.  On May 2, 2017, the entire $4.6 million prepayment was made together with normal principal and interest payments on the Term Loan.

 

Credit Facilities

 

The Term Loan is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and will mature in June 2021.  The interest rate on the Term Loan is based on 1-month LIBOR, which was 1.24% at October 28, 2017, plus the applicable margin which is currently 3.50%, resulting in a total interest rate of 4.74%.  In January 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, in which the variable rate payments due under a portion of the Term Loan were exchanged for a fixed rate.  In April 2017, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement to exchange variable rate payments under a portion of the Term Loan for a fixed rate.  At October 28, 2017, the total notional amount under our interest rate swaps is $490.0 million.  See Note 14 for additional information on our interest rate swaps.

 

In 2015, The Men's Wearhouse entered into Incremental Facility Agreement No. 1 (the "Incremental Agreement") resulting in a refinancing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum.  The Incremental Agreement did not impact the total amount borrowed under the Term Loan, the maturity date of the Term Loan, or collateral and guarantees under the Term Loan. 

 

As a result of our interest rate swaps and the Incremental Agreement, we have converted a significant portion of the variable interest rate under the Term Loan to a fixed rate and, as of October 28, 2017, the Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate of 5.13%.

In October 2017, we amended our ABL Facility, which now provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $550.0 million, with possible future increases to $650.0 million under an expansion feature, that matures in October 2022, and is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The ABL Facility has several borrowing and interest rate options including the following indices:  (i) adjusted LIBOR, (ii) Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") rate, (iii) Canadian prime rate or (iv) an alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate, the New York Federal Reserve Bank (“NYFRB”) rate plus 0.5% or adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%). Advances under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of up to 1.75%.  The ABL Facility also provides for fees applicable to amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit which range from 1.25% to 1.75%, and a fee on unused commitments of 0.25%.  As of October 28, 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.  During the nine months ended October 28, 2017, the maximum borrowing outstanding under the ABL Facility was $34.7 million.

 

We utilize letters of credit primarily as collateral for workers compensation claims and to secure inventory purchases.  At October 28, 2017, letters of credit totaling approximately $38.7 million were issued and outstanding. Borrowings available under the ABL Facility as of October 28, 2017 were $511.3 million.

 

Senior Notes

 

The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors, respectively, and will rank equally with all of the Company's and each guarantor's present and future senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes will mature in July 2022.  Interest on the Senior Notes is payable in January and July of each year.

 

Long-Term Debt

 

During the third quarter of 2017, we repurchased and retired $65.0 million in face value of Senior Notes through open market transactions, which were consummated via borrowings on our ABL Facility.  As a result, we recorded a net gain on extinguishment totaling $2.5 million, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.  The net gain on extinguishment reflects a $3.4 million gain upon repurchase partially offset by the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $0.9 million related to the Senior Notes. 

 

For the nine months ended October 28, 2017, as a result of the repurchase and retirement of a total of $115.0 million in face value of Senior Notes and our excess cash flow prepayment, we recorded a net gain on extinguishment totaling $6.5 million, which reflects a $8.2 million gain upon repurchase partially offset by the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.7 million, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

Our effective income tax rate increased to 32.8% for the third quarter of 2017 from 24.1% for the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to higher U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions this year compared to last year.

 

Our effective income tax rate increased to 34.2% for the first nine months of 2017 from 27.3% for the first nine months of 2016 primarily due to higher U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions this year compared to last year.  In addition, the effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2017 was impacted by $2.2 million of tax deficiencies related to the vesting of stock-based awards resulting from the adoption of new accounting guidance related to stock-based compensation.  See Note 11 for additional information.

 

Additionally, we are currently undergoing several federal, foreign and state audits; however, we currently do not believe these audits will result in any material charge to tax expense in the future.

11.  Share-Based Compensation Plans

 

For a discussion of our share-based compensation plans, refer to Note 13 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation . ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  The recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to the vesting of stock-based awards in the statement of earnings and presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows were adopted prospectively, with no adjustments made to prior periods.  See Note 8 for additional information.  In addition, upon adoption, we did not change our policy on accounting for forfeitures, which is to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate as needed.  Overall, the adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Cash Settled Awards

 

During 2017, we granted stock-based awards to certain employees, which vest over a period of three years, and will be settled in cash ("cash settled awards").  The fair value of the cash settled awards at each reporting period is based on the price of our common stock and includes a market condition.  The fair value of the cash settled awards will be remeasured at each reporting period until the awards are settled.  Cash settled awards are classified as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  At  October 28, 2017, the liability associated with the cash settled awards was $2.3 million with $1.4 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $0.9 million recorded in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The goodwill of acquired business resulted from an immaterial acquisition by our United Kingdom ("UK") based operations. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually. A more frequent evaluation is performed if events or circumstances indicate that impairment could have occurred. Such events or circumstances could include, but are not limited to, new significant negative industry or economic trends, unanticipated changes in the competitive environment, decisions to significantly modify or dispose of operations and a significant sustained decline in the market price of our stock. No impairment evaluation was considered necessary during the first nine months ended October 28, 2017.

13.  Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, categorizing the inputs used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy can be described as follows:  Level 1- observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2- inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3- unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.  The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of (1) foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily entered into to minimize our foreign currency exposure related to forecasted purchases of certain inventories denominated in a currency different from the operating entity's functional currency, (2) foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily entered into to minimize our foreign currency exposure related to forecasted revenues from our UK operations denominated in a currency different from the UK's functional currency and (3) interest rate swap agreements to minimize our exposure to interest rate changes on our outstanding indebtedness. These derivative financial instruments are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value based upon observable market inputs. Derivative financial instruments in an asset position are included within other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Derivative financial instruments in a liability position are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities or noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 14 for further information regarding our derivative instruments.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, goodwill and identifiable intangibles, are periodically evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the asset carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. 

 

During the nine months ended October 28, 2017, we incurred $2.9 million of asset impairment charges, which is included within SG&A expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings, primarily related to underperforming stores as well as long-lived assets related to our now-terminated tuxedo rental license agreement with Macy's.  We estimated the fair value of the long-lived assets based on an income approach using projected future cash flows discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital analysis that reflects current market conditions, which we classify as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and long-term debt.  Management estimates that, as of October 28, 2017, October 29, 2016, and January 28, 2017, the carrying value of our financial instruments, other than long-term debt, approximated their fair value due to the highly liquid or short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The fair values of our Term Loan were valued based upon observable market data provided by a third party for similar types of debt, which we classify as a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy.   The fair value of our Senior Notes is based on quoted prices in active markets, which we classify as a Level 1 input within the fair value hierarchy.  The table below shows the fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt, including current portion (in thousands):

14.  Derivative Financial Instruments

 

As discussed in Note 5, in January 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on an initial notional amount of $520.0 million that matures in August 2018 with periodic interest settlements.  At October 28, 2017, the notional amount totaled $200.0 million. Under this interest rate swap agreement, we receive a floating rate based on 3-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 5.03% (including the applicable margin of 3.50%) on the outstanding notional amount. We have designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of interest payments under the Term Loan due to changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate.

 

In addition, in April 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on an initial notional amount of $260.0 million that matures in June 2021 with periodic interest settlements. At October 28, 2017, the notional amount totaled $290.0 million. Under this interest rate swap agreement, we receive a floating rate based on 1-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 5.56% (including the applicable margin of 3.50%) on the outstanding notional amount. We have designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of interest payments under the Term Loan due to changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate.

 

At October 28, 2017, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was a net liability of $1.8 million with $1.9 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities offset by $0.1 million recorded in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The effective portion of the swaps is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  There was no hedge ineffectiveness at October 28, 2017. Changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings in the same period that the hedged item affects earnings.

 

Over the next 12 months, $1. 8 million of the effective portion of the interest rate swaps is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings within interest expense.  If, at any time, either interest rate swap is determined to be ineffective, in whole or in part, due to changes in the interest rate swap or underlying debt agreements, the fair value of the portion of the interest rate swap determined to be ineffective will be recognized as a gain or loss in the statement of earnings for the applicable period .

 

Also, we have entered into derivative instruments to hedge our foreign exchange risk, specifically related to the British pound and Euro.  We have designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of the variability in exchange rates for those foreign currencies.  At October 28, 2017, the fair value of these cash flow hedges was a liability of $0.2 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The effective portion of the

hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  Hedge ineffectiveness at October 28, 2017 was immaterial.  Changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings in the same period that the hedged item affects earnings. Over the next 12 months, $1.5 million of the effective portion of the cash flow hedges is expected to be reclassified as expense into cost of sales from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

 

In addition, we are exposed to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of our direct sourcing programs, specifically related to the Canadian dollar.  As a result, from time to time, we may enter into derivative instruments to hedge this foreign exchange risk.  We have not elected to apply hedge accounting to these derivative instruments.  At October 28, 2017, the fair value of our derivative instruments was an asset of $0.1 million included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. 

 

For the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, we recognized net pre-tax gains of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for our derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges.  For the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016, we recognized net pre-tax gains of $0.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for our derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges.

 

15.  Segment Reporting

 

Our operations are conducted in two reportable segments, retail and corporate apparel, based on the way we manage, evaluate and internally report our business activities.

 

The retail segment includes the results from our four retail merchandising brands: Men's Wearhouse/Men's Wearhouse and Tux, Jos. A. Bank, Moores Clothing for Men ("Moores") and K&G.  These four brands are operating segments that have been aggregated into the retail reportable segment.  MW Cleaners is also aggregated in the retail segment as these operations have not had a significant effect on our revenues or expenses.  Specialty apparel merchandise offered by our four retail merchandising concepts include suits, suit separates, sport coats, slacks, business casual, denim, sportswear, outerwear, dress shirts, shoes and accessories for men. Women's career and casual apparel, sportswear and accessories, including shoes, and children's apparel is offered at most of our K&G stores.  Rental product is offered at our Men's Wearhouse/Men's Wearhouse and Tux, Jos. A. Bank and Moores retail stores.

 

The corporate apparel segment includes the results from our corporate apparel and uniform operations conducted by Dimensions, Alexandra, and Yaffy in the UK and Twin Hill in the U.S., which provide corporate apparel uniforms and workwear to workforces. 

 

We measure segment profitability based on operating income, defined as income before interest expense, interest income, gain on extinguishment of debt, net and income taxes, before shared service expenses. Shared service expenses include costs incurred and directed primarily by our corporate offices that are not allocated to segments.

16.  Legal Matters

 

On March 29, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Douglas S. Ewert, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Case No. 4:16-cv-00838). The complaint attempts to allege claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's securities between June 18, 2014 and December 9, 2015 (the "Class Period"). On May 26, 2017, Lead Plaintiff Strathclyde Pension Fund filed an Amended Complaint alleging that during the Class Period Defendants omitted facts about the Company's Jos. A. Bank's business, financial status, and operations, the omission of which rendered Defendants' statements about the Jos. A. Bank business false or misleading. The amended complaint also named Jon W. Kimmins, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, and Mary Beth Blake, the Company's current Brand President, Jos. A. Bank, as additional named defendants. We believe that the claims are without merit and are defending the lawsuit vigorously. The range of loss, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. We do not currently believe, however, that it will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

On February 17, 2016, Anthony Oliver filed a putative class action lawsuit against our Men's Wearhouse subsidiary in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 2:16-cv-01100).  The complaint attempts to allege claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. In particular the complaint alleges that the Company sent unsolicited text messages to cellular telephones beginning October 1, 2013 to the present day. After we demonstrated that the Company had the plaintiff's permission to send him texts, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging the Company sent text messages exceeding the number plaintiff had agreed to receive each week.  The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment and the case is stayed pending the Court's decision on those motions. We believe that the claims are without merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. The range of loss, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. We do not currently believe, however, that it will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

 

On August 2, 2017, two American Airlines employees filed a putative class action lawsuit against our Twin Hill subsidiary in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Case No. 1:17-cv-05648).  The complaint attempts to allege claims for strict liability and negligence based on allegedly defective uniforms Twin Hill supplied to American Airlines for its employees. On September 28, 2017, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding nine additional named plaintiffs and adding claims for civil battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. We believe that any lawsuit filed on the basis of the safety of the Twin Hill uniforms supplied to American Airlines is without merit, and we intend to contest this action vigorously. Twin Hill has substantial and convincing evidence of the uniforms' safety and fitness for their intended purpose and we believe that there is no evidence linking any of the plaintiffs' alleged injuries to our uniforms. The range of loss, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. We do not currently believe, however, that it will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

On September 27, 2017, Heather Poole and numerous other American Airlines employees filed a lawsuit against our Twin Hill subsidiary in the Superior Court for the State of California for the County of Alameda (Case No. RG17876798).  The complaint attempts to allege claims for strict liability and negligence based on allegedly defective uniforms Twin Hill supplied to American Airlines for its employees. We believe that any lawsuit filed on the basis of the safety of the Twin Hill uniforms supplied to American Airlines is without merit, and we intend to contest this action vigorously. Twin Hill has substantial and convincing evidence of the uniforms' safety and fitness for their intended purpose and we believe that there is no evidence linking any of the plaintiffs' alleged injuries to our uniforms. The range of loss, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. We do not currently believe, however, that it will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 30, 2017, Denise Mumma and numerous other American Airlines employees filed a lawsuit against our Twin Hill subsidiary in the Superior Court for the State of California for the County of Alameda (Case No. RG17880635).  The complaint attempts to allege claims for strict liability and negligence based on allegedly defective uniforms Twin Hill supplied to American Airlines for its employees. We believe that any lawsuit filed on the basis of the safety of the Twin Hill uniforms supplied to American Airlines is without merit, and we intend to contest this action vigorously. Twin Hill has substantial and convincing evidence of the uniforms' safety and fitness for their intended purpose and we believe that there is no evidence linking any of the plaintiffs' alleged injuries to our uniforms. The range of loss, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. We do not currently believe, however, that it will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In addition, we are involved in various routine legal proceedings, including ongoing litigation, incidental to the conduct of our business.  Management does not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

17.  Condensed Consolidating Information

 

As discussed in Note 5, The Men's Wearhouse (the "Issuer") issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes.  The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. (the "Parent") and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantors").  Our foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "Non-Guarantors") are not guarantors of the Senior Notes.  Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned and all guarantees are joint and several.  In addition, the guarantees are full and unconditional except for certain automatic release provisions related to the Guarantors.

 

These automatic release provisions are considered customary and include the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or all of the capital stock of any subsidiary guarantor, the release or discharge of a guarantor's guarantee of the obligations under the Term Loan other than a release or discharge through payment thereon, the designation in accordance with the Indenture of a guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary or the satisfaction of the requirements for defeasance or discharge of the Senior Notes as provided for in the Indenture.

 

The tables in the following pages present the condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Non-Guarantors, together with eliminations, as of and for the periods indicated.  The consolidating financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial positions, results of operations or cash flows had the Issuer, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors operated as independent entities.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We encourage you to read this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" ("MD&A") in conjunction with the corresponding section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017.  References herein to years are to our 52-week or 53-week fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday nearest January 31 in the following calendar year.  For example, references to "2017" mean the 53-week fiscal year ending February 3, 2018.

 

Executive Overview

 

Background

 

We are the leading specialty retailer of men’s suits and the largest men’s formalwear provider in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada and help men love the way they look for work and special occasions.  We serve our customers through an expansive omni-channel network that includes over 1,400 locations in the U.S. and Canada as well as our branded e-commerce websites.  Our operations are conducted in two reportable segments, retail and corporate apparel, based on the way we manage, evaluate and internally report our business activities.  Refer to Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion included in "Results of Operations" below for additional information and disclosures regarding our reportable segments.

 

Third Quarter Discussion

 

In the third quarter of 2017, we posted positive comparable sales at Jos. A. Bank and sequential comparable sales improvement at Men’s Wearhouse and K&G, resulting in our second consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales for our retail segment. 

 

We launched new marketing campaigns to build awareness about the solutions we provide to men of all shapes and sizes which we believe is bringing new customers into our stores where we provide them with superior service and selection, including custom suiting at a highly competitive price.  We continued to grow our custom business and enhance our omni-channel capabilities, both online and in-store.  These initiatives are part of our strategy to deliver a superior customer experience in order to increase market share and drive long-term sustainable growth.

 

We also continued to make progress toward strengthening our balance sheet.  During the third quarter, we repurchased and retired $65.0 million face value of senior notes, resulting in year-to-date repurchases of $115.0 million.  We remain committed to a balanced capital allocation strategy, investing to support our growth initiatives, returning cash to shareholders through our dividend and using excess free cash flow to reduce debt.

 

Key operating metrics for the quarter ended October 28, 2017 include:

 

·

Net sales decreased 4.3% primarily due to the impact of last year's store closures as well as the anniversarying of last year’s rollout of a large new uniform program for our corporate apparel segment.

·

Comparable sales increased 4.9% at Jos. A. Bank while comparable sales decreased 1.0% at Men's Wearhouse, 2.6% at Moores and 0.6% at K&G. Overall, comparable sales for our retail segment increased 0.1%.

·

Operating income was $76.6 million for the third quarter of 2017 compared to operating income of $61.1 million in the third quarter of 2016.

·

Diluted earnings per share were $0.75 for the third quarter of 2017 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.58 in the third quarter of 2016.

 

Key liquidity metrics for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 include:

 

·

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2017 were $126.2 million, an increase of $91.3 million compared to the end of the third quarter of 2016.

·

Cash provided by operating activities was $252.5 million for the first nine months of 2017 compared to $176.9 million for the first nine months of 2016.

·

Capital expenditures were $56.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 compared to $80.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2016.

·

We repaid $9.9 million on our term loan, repurchased and retired $115.0 million in face value of senior notes and had no borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of October 28, 2017.

·

Dividends paid totaled $26.9 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2017.

Items Affecting Comparability of Results

 

The comparability of our results has been impacted by certain items, including costs to terminate our tuxedo rental license agreement with Macy's, restructuring and other costs consisting of costs related to our profit improvement and store rationalization programs and integration costs for Jos. A. Bank.  A summary of the effect of these items on pretax income for each applicable period is presented below (dollars in millions):

Seasonality

 

Our sales and net earnings are subject to seasonal fluctuations.  Our rental service revenues are heavily concentrated in the second and third quarters (prom and wedding season) while the fourth quarter is the seasonal low point.  In addition, Jos. A. Bank has generally experienced increased customer traffic during the holiday season and its increased marketing efforts during the holiday season have generally resulted in significantly larger sales and net earnings generated in the fourth quarter, as compared to the other three quarters. With respect to corporate apparel sales and operating results, seasonal fluctuations are not significant but the acquisition of new customers or existing customer decisions to rebrand or revise their corporate wear programs can cause significant variations in period results.  Because of these fluctuations, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year.

Comparable sales percentages for Moores are calculated using Canadian dollars.

 

Comparable sales is defined as net sales from stores open at least twelve months at period end and includes e-commerce sales. We operate our business using an omni-channel approach and do not differentiate e-commerce sales from our other channels.

 

The decrease in comparable sales at Men's Wearhouse resulted primarily from lower rental services revenue while comparable sales for clothing increased slightly primarily due to an increase in transactions and units per transaction partially offset by a decrease in average unit retail (net selling prices). At Men's Wearhouse, rental service comparable sales decreased 4.3% primarily reflecting a consumer shift to purchase suits for special occasions. The increase at Jos. A. Bank resulted primarily from an increase in transactions and average unit retail that more than offset a decrease in units per transaction. The decrease at K&G resulted primarily from lower transactions partially offset by increases in average unit retail and units per transaction. The decrease at Moores resulted primarily from decreases in both units per transaction and transactions that more than offset an increase in average unit retail. 

 

Total corporate apparel clothing product sales decreased $19.9 million for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to anniversarying last year's rollout of a large new uniform program partially offset by the impact of a stronger British pound this year compared to last year of approximately $1.1 million. 

 

Gross Margin

 

Procurement and distribution costs are included in determining our retail and corporate apparel clothing product gross margins.  Our gross margin may not be comparable to other specialty retailers, as some companies exclude costs related to their distribution network from cost of sales while others, like us, include all or a portion of such costs in cost of sales and exclude them from SG&A expenses.  Distribution costs are not included in determining our rental services gross margin but are included in SG&A expenses.

 

Our total gross margin decreased $18.4 million, or 4.9%, to $358.8 million in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of lower corporate apparel net sales.  Total retail segment gross margin decreased $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to same period last year primarily due to lower sales. 

 

For the retail segment, total gross margin as a percentage of related sales decreased slightly to 45.8% in the third quarter of 2017 from 45.9% in the third quarter of 2016.

 

Occupancy costs, which includes store related rent, common area maintenance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, security, property taxes and depreciation decreased $5.3 million primarily due to our store rationalization efforts in 2016. Occupancy costs as a percentage of retail sales decreased to 13.9% for the third quarter of 2017 from 14.3% for the third quarter of 2016.

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising expense decreased to $38.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $45.7 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 15.3%.  The decrease in advertising expense was driven primarily by reductions in television advertising reflecting a shift to digital advertising, as well as the timing of marketing spend.  As a percentage of total net sales, advertising expense decreased to 4.8% in the third quarter of 2017 from 5.4% in the third quarter of 2016.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

SG&A expenses decreased to $243.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $270.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $27.0 million, or 10.0%.  As a percentage of total net sales, these expenses decreased to 30.0% in the third quarter of 2017 from 31.9% in the third quarter of 2016.  The components of this 1.9% net decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net sales and the related dollar changes were as follows:

In the corporate apparel segment, SG&A expenses as a percentage of related net sales increased to 21.0% in the third quarter of 2017 from 19.4% in the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to deleveraging from lower sales.  Corporate apparel segment SG&A expenses decreased $2.9 million.

 

Shared service expenses represent costs not specifically related to the operations of our business segments and are included in SG&A.  Shared service SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net sales increased to 6.2% in the third quarter of 2017 from 5.5% in the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to deleveraging from lower sales. Shared service SG&A expenses increased $3.2 million primarily due to increased incentive compensation expense.

 

Net Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

 

Net gain on extinguishment of debt was $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Net gains on extinguishment of debt relate to the repurchasing of our senior notes.

Provision for Income Tax

 

Our effective income tax rate increased to 32.8% for the third quarter of 2017 from 24.1% for the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to higher U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions this year compared to last year.

 

For the third quarter of 2017, the statutory tax rates in Canada and the UK were approximately 26% and 19%, respectively.  For the third quarter of 2016, the statutory tax rate in Canada and the UK were approximately 26% and 20%, respectively.  For the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, tax expense for our operations in foreign jurisdictions totaled $6.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

 

Our income tax expense and effective income tax rate in future periods may be impacted by many factors, including our geographic mix of earnings and changes in tax laws.  Currently, we expect our effective tax rate in future periods to be lower than the statutory U.S. combined federal and state tax rate based on the expected geographic mix of earnings.  In addition, if our financial results in fiscal 2017 generate a loss or certain deferred tax liabilities decrease, we may need to establish a valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.  Lastly, we are currently undergoing several federal, foreign and state audits; however, we currently do not believe these audits will result in any material change to tax expense in the future.

Provision for Income Tax

 

Our effective income tax rate increased to 34.2% for the first nine months of 2017 from 27.3% for the first nine months of 2016 primarily due to higher U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions this year compared to last year as well as the recognition of $2.2 million of tax deficiencies related to the vesting of stock-based awards resulting from the adoption of new accounting guidance related to stock-based compensation. 

 

For the first nine months of 2017, the statutory tax rates in Canada and the UK were approximately 26% and 19%, respectively.  For the first nine months of 2016, the statutory tax rate in Canada and the UK were approximately 26% and 20%, respectively.  For the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, tax expense for our operations in foreign jurisdictions totaled $12.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

 

Our income tax expense and effective income tax rate in future periods may be impacted by many factors, including our geographic mix of earnings and changes in tax laws.  Currently, we expect our effective tax rate in future periods to be lower than the statutory U.S. combined federal and state tax rate based on the expected geographic mix of earnings.  In addition, if our financial results in fiscal 2017 generate a loss or certain deferred tax liabilities decrease, we may need to establish a valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.  Lastly, we are currently undergoing several federal, foreign and state audits; however, we currently do not believe these audits will result in any material change to tax expense in the future.

In 2014, The Men's Wearhouse entered into a term loan credit agreement that provides for a senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion (the "Term Loan") and a $500.0 million asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility", and together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities") with certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and Moores the Suit People Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, as co-borrowers.  In addition, in 2014, The Men's Wearhouse issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Senior Notes").

 

In October 2017, The Men’s Wearhouse amended the ABL Facility, which now provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $550.0 million, with possible future increases to $650.0 million under an expansion feature, that matures in October 2022, and is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The ABL Facility has several borrowing and interest rate options including the following indices:  (i) adjusted LIBOR, (ii) Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") rate, (iii) Canadian prime rate or (iv) an alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate, the New York Federal Reserve Bank (“NYFRB”) rate plus 0.5% or adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%). Advances under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of up to 1.75%.  The ABL Facility also provides for fees applicable to amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit which range from 1.25% to 1.75%, and a fee on unused commitments of 0.25%. 

 

We utilize letters of credit primarily as collateral for workers compensation claims and to secure inventory purchases.  At October 28, 2017, letters of credit totaling approximately $38.7 million were issued and outstanding. As of October 28, 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility. Borrowings available under the ABL Facility as of October 28, 2017 were $511.3 million.

The Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes contain customary non-financial and financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios, total leverage ratios and secured leverage ratios.  In addition, we are currently restricted on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in excess of $10.0 million per quarter. Since entering into these financing arrangements, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio have been above the maximums specified in the agreements, which was anticipated when we entered into these arrangements. As a result, we were subject to certain additional restrictions, including limitations on our ability to make significant acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness. As of October 28, 2017, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio were below the maximums specified in the agreements and we believe these ratios will remain below the maximums specified in the agreements during the remainder of fiscal 2017 and beyond, which will result in the elimination of these additional restrictions.

 

The Term Loan is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and will mature in June 2021.  The interest rate on the Term Loan is based on 1-month LIBOR, which was 1.24% at October 28, 2017, plus the applicable margin which is currently 3.50%, resulting in a total interest rate of 4.74%.  In January 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, in which the variable rate payments due under a portion of the Term Loan were exchanged for a fixed rate.  In April 2017, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement to exchange variable rate payments under a portion of the Term Loan for a fixed rate.  At October 28, 2017, the total notional amount under our interest rate swaps is $490.0 million.

 

In 2015, The Men's Wearhouse entered into Incremental Facility Agreement No. 1 (the "Incremental Agreement") resulting in a refinancing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum.  The Incremental Agreement did not impact the total amount borrowed under the Term Loan, the maturity date of the Term Loan, or collateral and guarantees under the Term Loan.

 

As a result of our interest rate swaps and the Incremental Agreement, we have converted a significant portion of the variable interest rate under the Term Loan to a fixed rate and, as of October 28, 2017, the Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate of 5.13%.

 

The obligations under the Credit Facilities are secured on a senior basis by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and, in the case of the ABL Facility, Moores The Suit People Inc. The Credit Facilities and the related guarantees and security interests granted thereunder are senior secured obligations of, and will rank equally with all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company, the co-borrowers and the respective guarantors.

 

The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The Senior Notes will mature in July 2022.  Interest on the Senior Notes is payable in January and July of each year.

Operating activities — Net cash provided by operating activities was $252.5 million and $176.9 million for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The $75.7 million increase was driven by higher net earnings compared to last year, planned reductions in rental product and inventory purchases, primarily resulting from our store rationalization efforts, as well as timing of income tax payments, partially offset by a decrease in other assets related to prior year income tax refunds.

 

Investing activities — Net cash used in investing activities was $54.3 million and $79.9 million for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The $25.7 million decrease was driven by a decrease in capital expenditures primarily due to last year's investments to expand our distribution capacity.

 

Financing activities — Net cash used in financing activities was $146.3 million and $88.9 million for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The $57.4 million increase primarily reflects the impact of additional debt repayments this year compared to last year.

 

Share repurchase program — In March 2013, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a share repurchase program for our common stock.  At October 28, 2017, the remaining balance available under the Board's authorization was $48.0 million.  During the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, no shares were repurchased in open market transactions under the Board's authorization.

Dividends — Cash dividends paid were $26.9 million and $26.4 million for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.  During each of the quarters ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, we declared quarterly dividends of $0.18 per share.

 

Future Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Our primary uses of cash are to finance working capital requirements of our operations and to repay our indebtedness.  In addition, we will use cash to fund capital expenditures, income taxes, dividend payments, operating leases and various other commitments and obligations, as they arise.

 

During the course of the first nine months of 2017, we borrowed and repaid amounts under our ABL Facility with the maximum borrowing outstanding at any point in time totaling $34.7 million.

 

Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $90.0 million for 2017.  This amount includes the anticipated costs to open four Men's Wearhouse stores and to relocate or remodel approximately 10 stores.  The balance of the capital expenditures for 2017 will be used for store refreshes, point-of-sale and other computer equipment and systems, distribution facilities and investment in other corporate assets.

 

Current and future domestic and global economic conditions could negatively affect our future operating results as well as our existing cash and cash equivalents balances.  In addition, conditions in the financial markets could limit our access to further capital resources, if needed, and could increase associated costs.  We believe based on our current business plan that our existing cash and cash flows from operations and availability under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to fund our operating cash requirements, repayment of current indebtedness and capital expenditures.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.  As a result of the termination of the tuxedo rental license agreement with Macy's, our total other contractual obligations decreased by $114.9 million.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires the appropriate application of accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  In many instances, this also requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts and disclosures included in our financial statements.  We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under our current business model.  However, because future events and conditions and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results will differ from our estimates and such differences could be material to our financial statements.  There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.

 

We are exposed to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of our direct sourcing programs and our operations in foreign countries.  In connection with our direct sourcing programs, we may enter into merchandise purchase commitments that are denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the operating entity.  Our risk management policy is to hedge a portion of forecasted merchandise purchases for our direct sourcing programs that bear foreign exchange risk using foreign exchange forward contracts.  In addition, we have entered into derivative instruments to hedge our foreign exchange risk, specifically related to the British pound and Euro. 

 

As the foreign exchange forward contracts are with financial institutions, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by these parties but due to the creditworthiness of these major financial institutions, full performance is anticipated.

 

As discussed in Note 5 and Note 14 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have undertaken steps to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness.  As of October 28, 2017, 90% of our total debt was at a fixed rate with the remainder at a variable rate.  As a result, we believe our interest rate risk is substantially mitigated.  At October 28, 2017, the effect of one percentage point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $1.5 million change in annual interest expense on our Term Loan.

 

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer ("CEO") and principal financial officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal third quarter ended October 28, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
