Diluted earnings per share were $0.63 for the second quarter ended
August 2, 2008. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.72 after
excluding $4.5 million (net of tax), $0.09 per diluted share outstanding, of
closure costs incurred in connection with the Company’s previously announced
planned closure of the Canadian based manufacturing facility operated by the
Company’s subsidiary, Golden Brand. This compares to adjusted diluted
earnings per share guidance given July 9, 2008 of $0.70 to $0.74.
SECOND Quarter Highlights
-- Total company sales decreased 4.2% for the quarter.
-- Apparel sales, representing 70.81% of 2008 total net sales,
decreased 4.0% primarily due to decreases in the Company's
comparable store sales driven by a reduction in store traffic
levels.
-- Tuxedo rental revenues, representing 23.37% of 2008 total net sales,
decreased 5.3%. This decline was primarily driven by reduced tuxedo
rental sales at the Company's stores acquired from After Hours.
These declines were partially offset by increases at the Company's
Men's Wearhouse stores.
-- Gross margin before occupancy costs, as a percentage of total net
sales, decreased 27 basis points from 60.20% to 59.93%. Decreases in
clothing product margins, as a percentage of related sales, of 110
basis points were offset by an increase in tuxedo rental services gross
margin, as a percentage of related sales, of 302 basis points from
80.66% to 83.68%.
-- Occupancy costs increased, as a percentage of total net sales, by 154
basis points from 11.99% to 13.53% primarily due to the deleveraging
effect of reduced comparable store sales and increased rental rates for
new and renewed leases.
-- Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $198.9 million.
Excluding $7.3 million in costs associated with the closing of Golden
Brand, SG&A expenses of $191.6 million were essentially flat compared
to the prior year quarter and as a percentage of total net sales
increased 144 basis points from 33.69% to 35.13%. This increase was
primarily due to the deleveraging effect of reduced net sales.
-- Operating income was $54.2 million. Excluding $7.3 million in costs
associated with the closing of Golden Brand, operating income was
$61.5 million, or 11.27% of total net sales compared to $82.7 million,
or 14.52% of total net sales for the same period last year.
-- The effective tax rate for the 2008 second quarter was 39.0%.
THIRD QUARTER 2008 GUIDANCE
On July 11, 2008, the Canadian based manufacturing facility operated by
the Company’s subsidiary, Golden Brand, was closed. The Company estimates the
pre tax cost to close the facility will be approximately $9.8 million or the
equivalent of $0.12 per diluted share outstanding for the fiscal year. The pre
tax cost for the first quarter was $0.9 million or the equivalent of $0.01 per
diluted share outstanding. The pre tax cost for the second quarter was
$7.3 million or the equivalent of $0.09 per diluted share outstanding and the
pre tax cost for the third quarter is estimated at $1.6 million or the
equivalent of $0.02 per diluted share outstanding.
Excluding the estimated Golden Brand closure costs for the third quarter
of $0.02 per diluted share outstanding, the Company expects adjusted diluted
earnings per share to be $0.36 to $0.40. Including these costs, GAAP diluted
earnings per share are expected to be $0.34 to $0.38. This guidance assumes
same store sales at MW, including MW Tux stores, to decrease in the high
single digit range, at K&G to decrease in the mid single digit range and at
Moores to decrease in the low single digit range.
The guidance includes an estimated effective tax rate of approximately
38.5% for the third quarter. The fully diluted shares outstanding are
estimated to be 51.9 million.
FISCAL 2008 GUIDANCE
The Company is updating its adjusted diluted earnings per share outlook
for the year to a range of $1.50 to $1.60 excluding the estimated Golden Brand
closure costs of $0.12 per diluted share outstanding. Including these costs,
GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be $1.38 to $1.48. This
annual guidance reflects a comparable store sales decrease in the mid single
digits for TMW, a high single digit decrease at K&G, and a low single digit
decrease for Moores.
