Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
Pittsburgh, May 25, 2011 American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:AEO) today announced earnings
for the first quarter ended April 30, 2011 of $0.14 per diluted share, compared to income from
continuing operations of $0.17 per diluted share last year.
While sales for the quarter came in lower than anticipated, we achieved EPS within our expected
range. A higher merchandise margin and the positive impact of our expense control initiatives
contributed to the bottom line. During the quarter, we continued to implement strategic initiatives
across our brands that will position the business for improved performance in the second half of
the year and fuel longer-term, profitable growth, said Jim ODonnell, chief executive officer.
First Quarter Results Continuing Operations
Total sales for the quarter decreased 6% to $610 million, compared to $648 million last year.
First quarter comparable store sales decreased 8%, compared to a 5% increase last year. For
additional comparable store sales information for the period, see the accompanying sales results by
brand table.
Gross profit was $232 million, or 38.0% as a rate to sales, compared to $258 million, or 39.7% as a
rate to sales, last year. The merchandise margin increased 70 basis points. As a rate to sales,
buying, occupancy and warehousing costs increased 240 basis points. This was primarily due to
rent, reflecting the impact of new store openings and negative comparable store sales.
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 6% to $158 million, compared to $169 million
last year. As a rate to sales, SG&A was flat to last year at 26.0%. The decrease in SG&A resulted
from expense savings efforts, which yielded reductions in compensation, supplies and services,
partially offset by planned investments in advertising and costs associated with new store growth.
Operating income for the quarter was $38 million, compared to $54 million last year. The operating
margin decreased to 6.3% from 8.2% last year.
Other income, net of $5 million includes a $0.01 per diluted share benefit related to auction rate
security recoveries.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $28 million, or $0.14 per diluted share,
compared to $36 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, last year. As a rate to sales, income from
continuing operations decreased to 4.6% from 5.5% last year.
AEO Direct
The companys direct-to-consumer business includes ae.com, aerie.com and 77kids.com. In the first
quarter, sales increased 3% due to higher transactions driven by improved conversion. First
quarter sales compared to a 1% increase last year.
Inventory
Total merchandise inventory at the end of the first quarter was $332 million, an increase of $5
million, or 2%, compared to last year. First quarter ending inventory at cost per foot was flat to
last year.
Looking ahead to the second quarter, inventory plans reflect investments in key items and the
expansion of the accessory business. For the apparel business, second quarter average weekly
inventory per foot is planned to increase in the high single-digits and units are planned to
decrease in the low single-digits. Including accessories, total inventory is planned to increase
in the low double-digits with units increasing in the low single-digits.
Capital Expenditures
For the first quarter, capital expenditures were $38 million, compared to $19 million last year.
Of the first quarter capital expenditures, approximately $28 million related to new and remodeled
stores. The balance of the capital expenditures related to distribution center, information
technology and other home office projects. The company continues to expect capital expenditures in
the range of $90 million to $100 million, with slightly more than half related to new and remodeled
stores.
Additionally, during the quarter the company acquired $33 million of trademark assets to support
international operations. These trademark assets will be utilized in entering new markets in order
to expand the overall international presence.
Real Estate
In the first quarter, the company opened six 77kids, three AE and two aerie stores. In addition,
the company remodeled 32 stores. Store closings in the first quarter consisted of one AE store.
The company continues to expect fiscal 2011 total square footage to increase in the low
single-digits. For additional first quarter 2011 actual and fiscal 2011 guidance information,
please refer to the accompanying real estate table.
Cash and Investments
The company ended the first quarter with total cash and investments of $611 million.
Future Outlook
The company currently expects second quarter EPS to be in a range of $0.10 to $0.13 per diluted
share, compared to $0.13 per diluted share last year. Although it is early in the second quarter,
sales have improved from the first quarter, reflecting better trends in key items. SG&A dollars
are planned flat for the second quarter, with investments in new stores and advertising offset by
continued expense savings.
For the year, the company continues to expect EPS to be similar to 2010 earnings from continuing
operations of $1.02 per diluted share. SG&A expense is planned to increase in the low
single-digits, with planned investments in
new stores and advertising, partially offset by continued expense savings. Depreciation is
expected to increase in the low single-digits for the year, and the effective tax rate is currently
projected at 38%.
