Hingham, MA, March 24, 2011 The Talbots, Inc. (NYSE:TLB) today reported results for the
fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 29, 2011.
Fourth quarter loss from continuing operations was $2.8 million, or $0.04 per share, compared
to last years loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million, or $0.03 per share. Adjusted fourth
quarter loss from continuing operations was $9.6 million, or $0.14 per share, excluding net income
from special items of $6.8 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to last years adjusted income
from continuing operations of $7.4 million, or $0.13 per share.
Fiscal year 2010 income from continuing operations was $7.6 million, or $0.11 per share,
compared to last years loss from continuing operations of $25.3 million, or $0.47 per share.
Adjusted full year 2010 income from continuing operations was $40.6 million, or $0.61 per share,
excluding special items of $33.0 million, or $0.50 per share, compared to last years adjusted loss
from continuing operations of $5.5 million, or a loss of $0.10 per share.
A full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP (adjusted) items is included with this release.
Trudy F. Sullivan, Talbots President and Chief Executive Officer, said, We achieved fourth
quarter and full year results that were slightly better than our revised expectations. For the
full year, we significantly improved our profitability and considerably deleveraged our balance
sheet; however, we remain disappointed in our fourth quarter performance. As we previously
reported, our results during the fourth quarter reflected weaker than anticipated customer response
to our product, high levels of competitive promotional activity and weather related issues. We
believe merchandise styling in our catalog that was pushed too far forward for our core customer,
and the initial allocation of product in the early implementation of our store segmentation
strategy, were additional factors impacting store traffic. We have already begun to take steps to
address these challenges.
Fourth Quarter 2010 Operating Results:
| Operating income was approximately break-even, compared to prior years operating income of $4.5 million. | ||
| Adjusted operating loss, excluding special items of $6.8 million, was $6.8 million, a decrease of $20.1 million, compared to prior years adjusted operating income of $13.3 million. | ||
| Net sales decreased 7.4% to $292.6 million, compared to $315.9 million in the same period last year. |
| Store sales decreased 7.8% to $240.8 million, compared to $261.2 million in the same period last year. Comparable store sales decreased 7.3%. | ||
| Direct marketing sales, including catalog, Internet and red-line, decreased 5.3% in the quarter to $51.8 million, compared to $54.7 million in the same period last year. | ||
| Cost of sales, buying and occupancy as a percent of net sales increased 610 basis points compared to last year, primarily due to higher levels of markdowns resulting from lower than anticipated sales and higher levels of promotional activity. | ||
| Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of net sales decreased 170 basis points from the prior year to 29.4%. This decrease was due primarily to continued strong expense management and a one-time cumulative adjustment to gift card breakage income. |
Full Year 2010 Results:
| Operating income was $31.4 million, an increase of $40.1 million, compared to the prior years operating loss of $8.7 million. | ||
| Adjusted operating income, excluding special items of $27.5 million, was $58.9 million, or 4.9% of net sales, an increase of $47.7 million, or 428.2%, compared to the prior year. | ||
| Net sales were $1,213.1 million for the fifty-two week period, compared to $1,235.6 million in the prior year. | ||
| Store sales were $991.4 million, compared to $1,027.9 million in the prior year. Comparable store sales declined 3.4%. | ||
| Direct marketing sales, including catalog, Internet and red-line, increased 6.7% to $221.7 million, compared to $207.7 million last year. | ||
| Cost of sales, buying and occupancy as a percent of net sales declined 420 basis points compared to last year, primarily due to a 310 basis point improvement in merchandise margin and a 110 basis point improvement in buying and occupancy expenses as a percent of net sales. | ||
| Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of net sales decreased 20 basis points from the prior year to 32.4%. This decrease was due primarily to continued tight expense management and a one-time cumulative adjustment to gift card breakage income recognized in the fourth quarter, which offset incremental marketing investment and the reinstatement of certain employee related benefits. | ||
| Total inventory increased 10.8% to $158.0 million, compared to $142.7 million at the end of fiscal 2009, due to planned increases in receipts and lower than anticipated sales volume in the fourth quarter. The timing of spring receipts also had an impact on year-end inventory levels. | ||
| Total outstanding debt was $25.5 million, a decrease of $461.0 million, or 94.8%, compared to $486.5 million at the end of last year. | ||
| During 2010, the Company opened 11 Talbots upscale outlets, closed 23 Talbots stores and ended the year with 568 stores. |
Outlook
The Company commented on the first quarter and full year 2011 as follows:
While first quarter-to-date sales trends and customer traffic have improved sequentially from
the fourth quarter of 2010, top line sales are currently down approximately 4% compared to the same
period last year, despite the Companys increased levels of promotional activity. The Company also
indicated that the shift in Easter from March to April this year has a significant impact on first
quarter sales to date as key promotional events have shifted accordingly.
As the Company maintains a higher level of promotional activity, first quarter cost of sales,
buying and occupancy as a percent of net sales is expected to increase approximately 600 basis
points from the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses on a dollar basis
are expected to be up slightly from the prior year first quarter, due primarily to the continuation
of incremental marketing investments.
For the full year, the Company plans to expand its store re-image program and expects to
refresh and renovate approximately 70 stores by fiscal year-end. In conjunction with the expanded
store re-image initiative, Talbots also expects to accelerate the implementation of its previously
announced long-range plan to reduce the Companys store base and square footage. The Company
expects to close approximately 90 to 100 stores and consolidate and/or downsize approximately 15 to
20 stores over two years, with a majority of those expected to be completed in 2011. The plan is
being finalized; however, the Company anticipates recording associated costs of approximately $18
million over the two years. Additionally, the Company expects to open approximately 20 upscale
outlets in 2011.
Capital expenditures for 2011 are expected to be approximately $60 million, relating to
investments in refreshing and renovating stores, upscale outlet openings and IT initiatives.
Ms. Sullivan concluded, At this stage in our turnaround, we are continuing to put building
blocks in place that we believe will position the Company for long term sustainable, profitable
growth. As we move forward in 2011, we believe that higher commodity costs and our increased
promotional activity will affect our near-term profitability. We remain keenly focused on
merchandise initiatives as well as branding and marketing strategies that we believe will drive
increased customer traffic and sales.
Further, we are pleased to expand the store re-image program this year to additional stores
and believe the accelerated rationalization of our store portfolio and implementation of IT
initiatives will also allow us to make progress toward improved productivity.
The above outlook is based on the Companys internal assumptions and estimates, is subject to
its accompanying forward-looking statement and is not a guarantee of future performance.
