ASCENA RETAIL GROUP, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER
|
|
AND FISCAL YEAR 2011 SALES AND EARNINGS RESULTS
|
— COMPARABLE STORE SALES INCREASE 7% FOR THE QUARTER AND 6% FULL YEAR—
— COMPANY PROVIDES FISCAL 2012 EARNINGS GUIDANCE —
SUFFERN, NY – September 14, 2011 – Ascena Retail Group, Inc. (NASDAQ - ASNA) today reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended July 30, 2011. The Company noted that, on a reported basis, comparisons between the current and prior periods were affected by the number of weeks in its fiscal year reporting calendar, whereby the fourth quarter and full year period of the prior year included an extra week due to Fiscal 2010 being a fifty-three week year. In addition, the Company noted that Fiscal 2011 benefited from a full year of Justice’s operating results, compared to a partial period in the prior year as a result of the merger closing on November 25, 2009.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter Results
On a reported basis, net income for the fiscal fourth quarter was $28.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to net income of $42.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010.
On an adjusted basis, net income increased to $38.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to net income for last year’s fourth quarter of $34.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. Adjusted results exclude the effect of the extra week in Fiscal 2010 and other items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance. Reference should be made to the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” elsewhere in this release for a discussion of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release and for the reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Net sales for the thirteen-week fiscal fourth quarter increased 2% to $725.8 million, compared to $710.9 million for last year’s fourteen-week fiscal fourth quarter. On an adjusted basis, excluding the effect of the extra week in the prior year’s quarter, sales increased 11%. This overall increase was largely due to across-the-board increases in comparable store sales, as well as strong growth in e-commerce sales. Consolidated comparable store sales, which include stores open for at least one year, increased 7% on a thirteen-week comparable basis for the fiscal fourth quarter. By brand, comparable store sales increased 4% at dressbarn, 3% at maurices and 14% at Justice.
On a reported basis, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter were $216.5 million, or 29.8% of sales, compared to $209.9 million, or 29.5% of sales last year. On an adjusted basis, SG&A expenses were $209.4 million, or 28.9% of sales, compared to $192.5 million, or 29.4% of sales last year. This decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales was primarily due to better leveraging of fixed operating expenses on the higher sales base.
On a reported basis, operating income for the fourth quarter was $54.1 million, or 7.5% of sales, compared to $59.8 million, or 8.4% of sales last year. On an adjusted basis, operating income increased 16% to $62.6 million, or 8.6% of sales, compared to $54.2 million, or 8.3% of sales last year. The increase in adjusted operating income was due to the strong performance of all three brands, most notably Justice.
Fiscal Full Year Results
On a reported basis, net income for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2011 increased to a record $170.5 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $133.4 million, or $1.73 per diluted share for Fiscal 2010.
On an adjusted basis, net income increased to a record $188.7 million, or $2.33 per diluted share, compared to net income for Fiscal 2010 of $136.1 million, or $1.77 per diluted share. The improved full year results in Fiscal 2011 primarily reflected strong growth in operating income at maurices and Justice, including a full year’s effect of the merger, partially offset by lower operating performance at dressbarn. Adjusted results exclude the effect of the extra week in Fiscal 2010 and other items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance. Reference should be made to the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” elsewhere in this release.
Net sales for the fifty-two week fiscal year ended July 30, 2011 increased 23% to a record $2.91 billion, compared to $2.37 billion for the prior fifty-three week fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. The overall increase was primarily due to a full year’s effect of the Justice merger, strong growth in e-commerce sales and across-the-board increases in comparable store sales. Consolidated comparable store sales increased 6% on a fifty-two week comparable basis for the year. By brand, comparable store sales increased by 2% at dressbarn, 10% at maurices and 8% at Justice.
On a reported basis, SG&A expenses for the fiscal year were $852.1 million, or 29.2% of sales, compared to $690.2 million, or 29.1% of sales in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, SG&A expenses were $833.3 million, or 28.6% of sales, compared to $662.0 million, or 28.6% of sales last year. SG&A as a percent of sales did not reflect leverage from the sales increase as a result of the costs associated with several key initiatives.
On a reported basis, operating income for fiscal 2011 was $289.8 million, or 9.9% of sales, compared to $217.5 million, or 9.2% of sales in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, operating income increased to $311.0 million, or 10.7% of sales, compared to $222.7 million, or 9.6% of sales in the prior fiscal year. The increase in both reported and adjusted operating income was largely due to the strong performance of maurices and Justice, the latter of which also included a full year’s effect of the merger.
Commentary
David R. Jaffe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ascena Retail Group, Inc., commented, “We are pleased to have reported a strong fiscal year and fourth quarter. Our results were achieved in a very tough environment and we remain positioned for growth both in sales and operating profitability. Our balance sheet and cash flow remain very strong and we have the resources to continue to pursue organic growth and to continue to search for complementary acquisitions. We are certainly mindful of the pressures of today’s macro-economic environment and we are planning our business accordingly. Even so, we are positioned well to take advantage of a number of opportunities that we believe will allow us to continue to grow, evolve our business, and drive value to our shareholders.”
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors information to assist them in assessing the Company’s on-going operations on a comparable basis, the Company is providing financial measures in this press release that exclude certain items detailed below from the Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010 reported results. Throughout this release, the term “reported” refers to information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), while the term “adjusted” refers to non-GAAP financial information adjusted to exclude the impact of the items mentioned below. Management believes that such items are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of the Company’s businesses.
For Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, the following items and transactions have been excluded from the applicable GAAP measures for purposes of determining “adjusted” operating results: (1) merger-related, integration and reorganization costs incurred in both years, (2) start-up expenses incurred in Fiscal 2011 in connection with the Company’s new initiatives to expand its retail operations into Canada and to launch a new boys product line, Brothers, for Justice, (3) market-related expenses (income) in both years related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan that affects the Company’s liability under the plan, (4) losses incurred in both years on the extinguishment of debt, (5) a non-cash impairment charge in Fiscal 2010 related to the Company’s Studio Y trade name, (6) certain tax benefits recognized in Fiscal 2010 due to the one-time reversal of certain tax liabilities, (7) a loss on the sale of an investment and (8) the financial effects of including an extra week in Fiscal 2010 due to a shift in the Company’s fiscal year reporting calendar.
