Bensalem, PA, June 2, 2011 – Charming Shoppes, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHRS), a leading multi-brand apparel retailer specializing in women's plus-size apparel, today reported sales and operating results for the three month period ended April 30, 2011.
Commenting on the quarter, Anthony M. Romano, President and Chief Executive Officer of Charming Shoppes, Inc. said, “We are pleased to report year over year operating improvement in our first quarter, which was driven by a more fashionable apparel assortment and aggressive inventory management across all of our brands. Our 2% increase in consolidated comparable store sales was driven by a 7% comparable store sales increase at Lane Bryant, and sales through our e-commerce channel increased 16% for the quarter.
“Our Spring assortments of both core and fashion apparel are resonating with our customer, as evidenced by our increased conversion rates. However, traffic levels were down on a year over year basis and were below our expectations, particularly in the back half of the quarter. We did not see the typical sales and traffic builds leading up to the Easter holiday. In response, we will be more aggressive with our marketing efforts in an attempt to drive additional traffic to our stores and websites.”
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased by $15.5 million compared to the year-ago quarter (refer to GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation below) as a result of both improved gross profit and decreased operating expenses at each of the Company’s brands. Consolidated gross profit dollars increased by $8.7 million and were primarily driven by higher gross profit dollars at Lane Bryant on a flat gross margin. The consolidated gross margin improved by 180 basis points as a percent of sales as a result of gross margin expansion at Fashion Bug and Catherines. Gross profit benefitted from improved assortments and inventory management, resulting in fewer markdowns compared to the year-ago period and faster turns of Spring merchandise.
Consolidated operating expenses decreased by $9.1 million or 170 basis points as a percent of sales during the period (excluding restructuring and other (credits)/charges and a gain on sale of office premises, refer to GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation below), primarily attributable to expense reductions at the Company’s Lane Bryant brand. Leverage on operating expenses was driven by positive comparable store sales at Lane Bryant, as well as decreased marketing and store operating expenses. Across all brands, the Company experienced a higher penetration in the usage of private label credit cards, resulting in increased income from its card programs, which offsets selling, general and administrative expense.
The Company generated $62.9 million in cash during the quarter, and ended the period with total cash of $180.4 million.
Romano continued, “Looking ahead, we recognize that our consumer is facing a number of inflationary headwinds - including rising food and gasoline prices - that affect her disposable income and discretionary purchases. Sharp increases in cotton-based raw materials pricing were a modest factor in our first quarter results, but will have a greater impact for Fall and Holiday. We have only partially mitigated these price increases through value engineering product, shifting production to lower-cost countries, and adjusting our product mix. Additionally, each of our brands has strategically increased initial ticket pricing. However, there remains uncertainty of her ability and willingness to pay higher prices. We will make pricing adjustments as warranted to ensure an appropriate value proposition for our customer.”
First Quarter Consolidated Results
|
·
|
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2011 were $504.4 million, compared to $504.8 million for the three months ended May 1, 2010. Net sales results included a 2% increase in comparable store sales and an increase in e-commerce sales, offset by the impact of operating 139 (or 7%) fewer stores than in the year-ago period. E-commerce sales increased to $36.6 million in the first quarter, compared to $31.6 million in the year-ago period.
|
|
·

Consolidated gross profit increased by $8.7 million to $285.3 million in the quarter, compared to $276.6 million in the same quarter last year, related to a 180 basis point increase in the gross margin. The gross margin increased to 56.6% for the quarter ended April 30, 2011, compared to 54.8% for the quarter ended May 1, 2010.

·
|
Consolidated operating expenses, excluding restructuring and other (credits)/charges and gain on sale of office premises, decreased by $9.1 million to $259.1 million or 51.4% of sales in the quarter, compared to $268.2 million or 53.1% of sales in the same quarter last year (refer to GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation below). Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased by $3.9 million and improved by 70 basis points as a percent of sales. Additionally, Occupancy and Buying expenses decreased by $2.8 million and improved by 60 basis points as a percent of sales.
|
|

|
During the quarter, the Company sold its Hong Kong sourcing office premises. These operations now utilize leased space in Hong Kong. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $5.2 million and an increase in cash of $7.5 million.
|
|
·
|
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $40.7 million or 8.1% of sales, compared to $25.2 million or 5.0% of sales in the prior-year period (refer to GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation below), reflecting an improvement of $15.5 million.
|
|
·
|
Consolidated income from operations, excluding restructuring and other (credits)/charges and gain from sale of office premises, improved by $17.9 million and was $26.3 million or 5.2% of sales in the first quarter. This compares to consolidated income from operations of $8.4 million or 1.7% of sales for the prior-year period, which excluded restructuring and other (credits)/charges (refer to GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation below).
|
|
·
|
The tax provision was 8% of income from operations before income taxes in the quarter, and was favorably impacted by a valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets as well as the availability of net operating loss carry forwards.
|
|
·
·
|
Net income on a GAAP basis was $26.0 million, 5.2% of sales, or $0.22 per diluted share for the first quarter, compared to net income on a GAAP basis of $3.9 million, 0.8% of sales, or $0.03 per diluted share in the first quarter of the prior year.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income per diluted share was $0.17 for the first quarter, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.04 in the first quarter of the prior year. Both periods’ results on a non-GAAP basis exclude restructuring and other (credits)/charges. The current quarter excludes the gain on the sale of the Company’s Hong Kong office premises. (Refer to GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation below.)
|
|
·
|
The Company’s cash position for the quarter ended April 30, 2011 was $180.4 million, compared to $117.5 million for the period ended January 29, 2011. Total liquidity was $370.3 million, including $180.4 million in cash and $189.9 million of net availability under the Company’s committed and undrawn line of credit.
|
Commenting on the Company’s performance and liquidity, Eric M. Specter, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer said, “Our liquidity remains at healthy levels, and we have shifted from a net debt position to net cash position. During the first quarter, we generated free cash flow, and our cash position increased by $62.9 million compared to the end of the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of our improved operating results, strong inventory management, and improved sell-throughs of our Spring merchandise at each of our brands.
“We also monetized our sourcing office premises in Hong Kong. We recognized a gain on the sale of these premises of $5.2 million, and received cash proceeds of $7.5 million as a result of the sale. Our sourcing organization continues to operate in Hong Kong utilizing a leased facility.”
Specter added, “While our comparable store inventories were up 4% on a cost basis at the end of the first quarter, our Spring inventories were down mid-single digits as we continue to manage inventories tightly. As a reminder, during the second quarter last year, we had excess breadth and depth of Spring merchandise, which led to increased promotional activity.”
Romano concluded, “In summary, we are encouraged by our progress and improved first quarter financial results. However, we have a number of challenges to address, including generating additional traffic and continued optimization of our inventory mix, which are further complicated by the macro-economic headwinds. We recognize that the real measure of success will be consistent, improving performance. We remain committed to building a winning team to ensure we deliver great product at a compelling value to our customer and a growing investment for our shareholders, season after season.”

*SEC REGULATION G -- Charming Shoppes, Inc. reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP performance measures, which exclude certain charges that the Company does not consider part of its ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of the Company, present the operating results of the Company on a basis consistent with those used in managing the Company's business, and provide users of the Company's financial information with a more meaningful report on the condition of the Company's business. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, along with other measures, provides a useful pre-tax measure of our ongoing operating performance and our ability to meet debt service and capital requirements on a comparable basis excluding the impact of certain items and capital-related non-cash charges. We use adjusted EBITDA to monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and we believe that it enhances our investors’ ability to analyze trends in our business, compare our performance to other companies in our industry, and evaluate our ability to service our debt and capital needs. In addition, we use adjusted EBITDA as a component of our compensation programs. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
