LIZ CLAIBORNE INC. REPORTS 1st QUARTER RESULTS
| Reports Q1 Adjusted EBITDA of ($13) Million, Excluding Foreign Currency Transaction Losses | ||
| Reaffirms Fiscal 2011 and 2012 Adjusted EBITDA Targets |
New
York, NY April 27, 2011 Liz Claiborne Inc. (NYSE:LIZ) today announced earnings for the
first quarter of 2011. For the first quarter of 2011 on a GAAP basis, the loss from continuing
operations was ($84) million, or ($0.88) per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations
of ($56) million, or ($0.59) per share, for the first quarter of 2010.
Adjusted loss per share from continuing operations for the first quarter was ($0.56), compared to
an adjusted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.32) for the first quarter of 2010
(inclusive of losses of ($0.15) per share in the first quarter of 2011 and gains of $0.15 per share
in the first quarter of 2010, primarily resulting from the impact of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates on our eurobond). Adjusted EBITDA, excluding foreign currency gains (losses), net,
for the first quarter of 2011 was ($13) million, compared to ($12) million for the first quarter of
2010.
Net sales for the first quarter were $513 million, a decrease of $71 million, or 12.2%, from the
comparable 2010 period. Excluding the impact of a $58 million decrease in net sales of brands that
have been licensed or exited, substantially all of which was associated with the transition of the
Liz Claiborne family of brands to the licensing models under the JCPenney and QVC arrangements, net
sales decreased $13 million, or 2.2%, primarily due to decreased sales in our International-Based
Direct Brands segment.
Due to the shift of the Easter holiday to April, the Company also announced March and estimated
April month to date direct to consumer comparable sales as follows:
Brand | March | April MTD* | ||||||
Juicy Couture |
(17 | %) | 15 | % | ||||
Lucky Brand |
1 | % | 23 | % | ||||
kate spade |
44 | % | 104 | % | ||||
Mexx Europe |
(6 | %) | 8 | % | ||||
Mexx Canada |
(9 | %) | 2 | % |
* | Estimated April direct to consumer comparable sales through April 24th |
William L. McComb, Chief Executive Officer of Liz Claiborne Inc., said: Adjusted EBITDA, excluding
foreign currency transaction losses, of ($13) million in the first quarter was in line with the
outlook we provided in March. Based upon our latest forecast, we are reaffirming our guidance for
Adjusted EBITDA, excluding foreign currency transaction gains or losses, in the range of $100
1
to
$120 million for fiscal 2011 and $180 to $220 million for fiscal 2012. We also continued our focus
on strengthening our capital structure, as evidenced by the successful completion of our recent
eurobond tender and the issuance of new $220 million, 8 year notes in April.
Mr. McComb concluded, Direct to consumer comparable sales for March and estimated month to date
comparable sales for April reflect both the impact of the Easter shift as well as the current trend
in our businesses. At kate spade, we continue to see exceptional performance across all product
categories, channels and geographies. Lucky Brand is now gaining momentum across the store,
benefiting from strong sell throughs of their spring assortments. As we forecast on the last call,
Juicy Coutures performance was challenging in the quarter. We are excited about improvements in
product already in the pipeline, driven by Leann Nealz and her team, and look forward to a positive
impact on the business by Holiday. At Mexx Europe, we are encouraged by the progress to date in
rebuilding the wholesale business and will continue our focus on improving profitability in the
direct to consumer channel. In Partnered Brands, we are on track to generate positive adjusted
operating income for the year. We look forward to showcasing these brands and their management
teams tomorrow at our investor day conference.
The adjusted results for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, as well as forward-looking targets,
exclude the impact of expenses incurred in connection with the Companys streamlining initiatives
and brand-exiting activities and non-cash impairment charges. The Company believes that the
adjusted results for such periods represent a more meaningful presentation of its historical
operations and financial performance since these results provide period to period comparisons that
are consistent and more easily understood. The attached tables, captioned Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Information, provide a full reconciliation of actual results to the adjusted
results. We present EBITDA, which we define as income (loss) from continuing operations
attributable to Liz Claiborne, Inc., adjusted to exclude income tax provision (benefit), interest
expense, net and depreciation and amortization. We also present (i) Adjusted EBITDA, which is
EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of expenses incurred in connection with the Companys
streamlining initiatives and brand-exiting activities, non-cash impairment charges and non-cash
share-based compensation expense, and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA excluding foreign currency gains
(losses), net, which is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unrealized foreign currency
gains (losses), net. We present the above-described EBITDA measures because we consider them
important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our
industry. Unless otherwise noted, references to loss from continuing operations, net loss
and adjusted loss from continuing operations and associated per share amounts refer to such amounts
attributable to Liz Claiborne Inc., which excludes amounts associated with noncontrolling
interests.
The Company will sponsor a conference call at 4:30pm EDT today to discuss its results for the first
quarter of 2011. The dial-in number is 1-888-694-4676 with pass code 58172616. The web cast and
slides accompanying the prepared remarks can be accessed via the Investor Relations section of the
Liz Claiborne website at www.lizclaiborneinc.com. An archive of the webcast will be
available on the website. Additional information on the results of the Companys operations is
available in the Companys Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2011, which will be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission tomorrow.

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Overall Results
Net sales from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2011 were $513 million, a decrease of
$71 million, or 12.2% from the first quarter of 2010, reflecting (i) a decline in sales of our
Partnered Brands segment, including a $58 million decrease in sales of brands that have been
licensed or exited, substantially all of which was associated with our Liz Claiborne family of
brands as we transitioned to the licensing model under the JCPenney and QVC arrangements; (ii) a
sales decline in our International-Based Direct Brands segment; (iii) an increase in sales in our
Domestic-Based Direct Brands segment; and (iv) the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates in our international businesses which decreased net sales by $2 million, or 0.3%.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 52.4% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 46.4%
in the comparable 2010 period, reflecting a significantly improved gross profit rate in our
Partnered Brands segment due to the transition to the licensing model under the JCPenney and QVC
arrangements. The gross profit rate also reflected improvements in our International-Based Direct
Brands and Domestic-Based Direct Brands segments. Total Company gross profit rate was also
positively impacted by an increased proportion of sales from our Domestic-Based Direct Brands
segment, since it runs at a higher gross profit rate than the Company average.
Selling, general & administrative expenses (SG&A) were $319 million, or 62.1% of net sales in the
first quarter of 2011, compared to $330 million, or 56.4% of net sales in the first quarter of
2010. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales primarily reflected decreased net sales in
our International-Based Direct Brands and Partnered Brands segments, which exceeded the
proportionate reduction in SG&A. The $11 million decrease in SG&A primarily reflected the
following:
| a $21 million decrease in our Partnered Brands segment and corporate SG&A, inclusive of a decrease associated with our Liz Claiborne family of brands as we transitioned to the licensing model under the JCPenney and QVC arrangements; | ||
| a $9 million decrease in expenses associated with our streamlining initiatives and brand-exiting activities; | ||
| a $3 million decrease in our International-Based Direct Brands segment; | ||
| a $21 million increase in our Domestic-Based Direct Brands segment, primarily due to increased retail expansion and an increase in marketing expenses; and | ||
| a $1 million increase due to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in our international businesses. |
Operating loss was ($50) million ((9.8)% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2011 compared to an
operating loss of ($59) million ((10.0%) of net sales) in the first quarter of 2010. Adjusted
operating loss in the first quarter of 2011 was ($45) million ((8.8)% of net sales) compared to an
adjusted operating loss of ($45) million ((7.6%) of net sales) in 2010.
Other (expense) income, net was ($22) million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $20 million
in the first quarter of 2010, primarily reflecting (i) the impact of the partial de-designation of
the hedge of our investment in certain euro functional currency subsidiaries, which resulted in the
recognition of non-cash foreign currency translation (losses) gains of ($20) million and $18
million for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, on our euro-denominated notes within
earnings; (ii) foreign currency transaction gains and losses and (iii) equity in earnings of our
investment in Kate Spade Japan.
3
Interest expense, net decreased to $13 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $15 million
in the first quarter of 2010, primarily reflecting a reduction in amortization of deferred
financing costs.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes was ($1) million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $2
million in the first quarter of 2010. The income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2011
primarily represented tax benefits on losses in continuing operations, partially offset by deferred
tax liabilities for indefinite-lived intangible assets, current tax on operations in certain
jurisdictions and an increase in the accrual for interest related to uncertain tax positions. The
provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2010 primarily represented increases in
deferred tax liabilities for indefinite-lived intangible assets, current tax on operations in
certain jurisdictions and an increase in the accrual for interest related to uncertain tax
positions.
Loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2011 was ($84) million, or ($0.88) per
share, compared to a loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2010 of ($56) million,
or ($0.59) per share. Adjusted loss per share from continuing operations in the first quarter of
2011 was ($0.56) compared to adjusted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.32) in the
first quarter of 2010.
Net loss in the first quarter of 2011 was ($96) million, inclusive of losses related to
discontinued operations of ($13) million, compared to a net loss of ($72) million, inclusive of
losses related to discontinued operations of ($16) million, in the first quarter of 2010. Loss per
share was ($1.02) in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a loss per share of ($0.76) in the first
quarter of 2010.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Accounts receivable decreased $49 million, or 19.4%, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the
first quarter of 2010, primarily due to decreased wholesale sales, primarily in our Partnered
Brands segment. The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased accounts
receivable by $4 million.
Inventories decreased $9 million, or 3.0%, to $304 million, compared to the first quarter of 2010,
primarily reflecting: (i) the period-over-period impact of decreased sales in our Partnered Brands
and International-Based Direct Brands segments; and (ii) the impact of brands that have been
licensed or exited, partially offset by an increase in Domestic-Based Direct Brands inventory to
support growth initiatives, including retail store expansion. The impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates increased inventories by approximately $5 million in the first quarter of
2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010.
Cash flow from continuing operating activities for the last twelve months was $45 million,
including the refund of $24 million to Li & Fung as a result of reduced sourcing due to our
licensing agreements with JCPenney and QVC for Liz Claiborne branded products.
Debt outstanding increased $123 million to $714 million compared to $591 million in the first
quarter of 2010, inclusive of a $26 million increase due to the impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on our euro-denominated notes. The debt balance as of the first quarter of
2010 reflected the repayment of borrowings under our revolving credit facility with $164 million of
net income tax refunds received during the quarter.

and uncertainties involve factors beyond the Companys control. Among the risks and uncertainties
are the following: our ability to continue to have the necessary liquidity, through cash flows from
operations, and availability under our amended and restated revolving credit facility may be
adversely impacted by a number of factors, including the level of our operating cash flows, our
ability to maintain established levels of availability under, and to comply with the financial and
other covenants included in, our amended and restated revolving credit facility and the borrowing
base requirement in our amended and restated revolving credit facility that limits the amount of
borrowings we may make based on a formula of, among other things, eligible accounts receivable and
inventory; the minimum availability covenant in our amended and restated revolving credit facility
that requires us to maintain availability in excess of an agreed upon level and whether holders of
our Convertible Notes issued in June 2009 will, if and when such notes are convertible, elect to
convert a substantial portion of such notes, the par value of which we must currently settle in
cash; general economic conditions in the United States, Europe and other parts of the world; levels
of consumer confidence, consumer spending and purchases of discretionary items, including fashion
apparel and related products, such as ours; restrictions in the credit and capital markets, which
would impair our ability to access additional sources of liquidity, if needed; changes in the cost
of raw materials, labor, advertising and transportation, including the impact such changes may have
on the pricing of our product and the resulting impact on consumer acceptance of our products at
higher price points; our dependence on a limited number of large US department store customers, and
the risk of consolidations, restructurings, bankruptcies and other ownership changes in the retail
industry and financial difficulties at our larger department store customers; our ability to effect
a turnaround of our Mexx Europe business; our ability to improve the product offering of our Juicy
Couture business; our ability to successfully re-launch our Lucky Brand product offering; our
ability to successfully implement our long-term strategic plans; risks associated with the
licensing arrangements with J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. and J.C. Penney Company, Inc. and with
QVC, Inc., including, without limitation, our ability to efficiently change our operational model
and infrastructure as a result of such licensing arrangements, our ability to continue a good
working relationship with these licensees and possible changes or disputes in our other brand
relationships or relationships with other retailers and existing licensees as a result; our ability
to anticipate and respond to constantly changing consumer demands and tastes and fashion trends
across multiple brands, product lines, shopping channels and geographies; our ability to attract
and retain talented, highly qualified executives, and maintain satisfactory relationships with our
employees, both union and non-union; possible exposure to
multiemployer union pension plan liability as a result of
7
current market conditions and possible withdrawal liabilities; our ability
to adequately establish, defend and protect our trademarks and other proprietary rights; our
ability to successfully develop or acquire new product lines or enter new markets or product
categories, and risks related to such new lines, markets or categories; the impact of the highly
competitive nature of the markets within which we operate, both within the US and abroad; our
reliance on independent foreign manufacturers, including the risk of their failure to comply with
safety standards or our policies regarding labor practices; risks associated with our agreement
with Li & Fung Limited, which results in a single foreign buying/sourcing agent for a significant
portion of our products; a variety of legal, regulatory, political and economic factors that can
impact our operations and results and the shopping and spending patterns of consumers, including
risks related to the importation and exportation of product, tariffs and other trade barriers, to
which our international operations are subject; our ability to adapt to and compete effectively in
the current quota environment in which general quota has expired on apparel products but political
activity seeking to re-impose quota has been initiated or threatened; our exposure to domestic and
foreign currency fluctuations; risks associated with material disruptions in our information
technology systems; risks associated with privacy breaches; limitations on our ability to utilize
all or a portion of our US deferred tax assets if we experience an ownership change; the outcome
of current and future litigations and other proceedings in which we are involved; and such other
factors as are set forth in the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 17,
2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ending April 2, 2011, which will be filed tomorrow with the Securities and Exchange
