Gordmans Stores, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

Fourth Quarter Net Sales Increased 2.0% Excluding 14^th Week of the Fourth Quarter of 2012;

Fourth Quarter Diluted EPS of $0.14

Omaha, Nebraska (March 25, 2014) – Gordmans Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMAN), an Omaha-based apparel and home décor retailer, today announced results for its fourth quarter (thirteen weeks) and fiscal year (fifty-two weeks) ended February 1, 2014.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

Fiscal Year 2013 Highlights

“Our fourth quarter sales performance was driven by the ten new stores that we opened throughout the fiscal year, partially offset by a comparable store sales decline of 7.4% on a comparable calendar basis,” commented Mike James, Chief Financial Officer. “While we are disappointed with our results in the fourth quarter, sales were disadvantaged by six fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. In addition, weather had a negative impact in December and January. During the past several years, we have increased our store count by over 40%. We have also accomplished a number of strategic initiatives to prepare the Company for continued growth, including implementation of a new Oracle enterprise merchandising system and a new business intelligence system, launch of our gRewards loyalty program and, in 2014, we recently completed a headquarters office move and we are in the process of completing our second distribution center and the re-engineering of associated business processes.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended February 1, 2014 were $200.0 million compared to net sales of $202.5 million for the fourteen weeks ended February 2, 2013. On a comparable 13-week basis, net sales increased 2.0%. On a comparable calendar basis, comparable store sales declined by 7.4%. By merchandise category, Apparel generated the best comparable sales performance, followed by Home, then Accessories. Gross profit, which includes license fees, decreased by 2.2% to $76.7 million, or 38.3% of net sales, from $78.4 million, or 38.7% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Selling, general and administrative costs were $71.3 million, or 35.6% of net sales, compared to $65.6 million, or 32.4% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Interest expense increased to $1.4 million from $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 due to additional interest associated with the term loan entered into in August 2013 to fund the special cash dividend paid in September 2013. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $2.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, which includes the interest expense of approximately $0.03 per diluted share associated with the term loan used to partially fund the special cash dividend, compared to net income of $7.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Fiscal Year 2013 Financial Results

Net sales for the fifty-two week fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 increased 2.0% to $619.6 million compared to net sales of $607.7 million for the fifty-three week period ended February 2, 2013. On a comparable 52-week basis, net sales increased 3.0%. On a comparable calendar basis, comparable store sales declined by 7.0%. Gross profit, which includes license fees, decreased by 1.1% to $261.9 million, or 42.3% of net sales, from $264.8 million, or 43.6% of net sales, in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative costs were $247.1 million, or 39.9% of net sales, compared to $226.7 million, or 37.3% of net sales, in the prior year. Interest expense increased to $2.5 million from $0.5 million in the prior year due to additional interest associated with the term loan used to partially fund the special cash dividend. Net income for fiscal year 2013 was $8.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, which includes the interest expense of approximately $0.06 per diluted share associated with the term loan compared to net income of $23.5 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2012.

Loyalty Program

Since launching its gRewards loyalty program in the second quarter of 2013, the Company has enrolled approximately 1.5 million guests as of the end of fiscal 2013 and the average loyalty transaction has equated to a double digit percentage increase over the average non-loyalty transaction.

New Store Performance

The Company opened ten new stores in fiscal 2013 including seven that were in new markets Albuquerque, Clarksville, IN (Louisville, KY MSA), Minot, ND, Kenosha, WI (Milwaukee MSA), Valparaiso, IN and Green Bay, WI with the remainder in existing markets of Salt Lake City and Peoria, IL. Sales generated by the stores opened in 2013 in aggregate are performing at 96% of the Company’s new store model.

Expansion Plans

The Company plans to open seven new stores in 2014 and will close two to three existing stores. Three new stores opened in late March, three are scheduled to open at the end of the second quarter, and one toward the end of the third quarter. The Company is expanding into five new markets and two new states with locations in Schererville, IL; Muskegon, MI; Grand Rapids, MI; Saginaw, MI and Tyler, TX, as well as the existing markets of Boise and St. Louis. Gordmans closed one store upon the end of its lease term earlier this month, and will close an additional store in the second quarter. At the end of 2014, Gordmans will have increased its number of stores by 43% since the end of 2010, expanding from 68 to 97 stores.

Outlook

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 ending May 3, 2014, the Company currently expects net sales to be between $142 and $144 million, which reflects a low-single digit comparable store sales decrease compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013. The Company expects gross profit margins be comparable to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Additional selling, general and administrative expenses related to depreciation and expenses associated with the Company’s second distribution center that will be operational in the second quarter of the year in particular will result in some deleveraging in expenses. The Company projects diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.00 to $0.02 (using a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 19.5 million), which includes the impact of interest expense associated with the term loan used to fund the special cash dividend of approximately $0.03 in earnings per share.

Conference Call Information

The Company will not conduct a conference call in connection with the fourth quarter earnings release, but expects to resume conference calls with the release of earnings results for the first quarter of 2014.
