SECOND Quarter REVIEW
Total Company sales increased 2.0% for the quarter.
-- Clothing product sales, representing 67.5% of fiscal second quarter 2010
total net sales, decreased 0.6% due mainly to a decrease in store
traffic levels at Men's Wearhouse and a decrease in the average
transaction value at K&G.
-- Tuxedo rental sales, representing 26.5% of fiscal second quarter 2010
total net sales, increased 10.0% due mainly to an increase in units
rented.
Gross margin before occupancy costs, as a percentage of total net sales, increased 226 basis points from 59.1% to 61.3%. Clothing product margins, as a percentage of related sales, increased 224 basis points due primarily to different promotional offerings, as well as the mix of products on promotion, in 2010 compared to 2009 and lower product costs. Tuxedo rental margins, as a percentage of related sales, increased 111 basis points due primarily to a decrease in rental product retirement costs in 2010.
Occupancy costs decreased, as a percentage of total net sales, by 89 basis points from 13.9% to 13.0%. On an absolute dollar basis, occupancy costs decreased 4.5% from $73.1 million in the prior year to $69.8 million due primarily to lower depreciation costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $191.2 million. The prior year quarter included a cumulative adjustment of $3.1 million for gift card breakage income. Excluding this other income, SG&A expense was $177.0 million in the prior year quarter. During the current quarter, the Company incurred $2.7 million in costs associated with the August 6, 2010 acquisition of Dimensions and certain assets of Alexandra. Excluding these costs, second quarter SG&A expenses were $188.5 million or an increase of 6.5% to the adjusted prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to increased marketing costs and increased employee benefit costs. As a percentage of total net sales, adjusted SG&A increased 146 basis points from 33.6% to 35.1%.
Operating income was $68.4 million. Excluding $2.7 million in costs associated with the acquisitions, operating income was $71.1 million or 13.2% of total net sales compared to operating income of $63.9 million or 12.1% of total net sales for the same period last year.
The effective tax rate for second quarter fiscal 2010 was 37.6%.
Cash and cash equivalent balances as of the end of the second quarter of 2010 were $281.5 million.
Total inventories of $416.4 million declined 3.3% from the prior year second quarter of $430.8 million.
Current maturities of long-term debt were $45.2 million as of the end of the second quarter of 2010.
THIRD QUARTER 2010 HIGHLIGHTS AND GUIDANCE
Dimensions and Alexandra Acquisitions
On August 6, 2010, the Company acquired Dimensions and certain assets of Alexandra, two leading providers of corporate clothing uniforms and workwear in the United Kingdom, for total cash consideration of approximately 61 million pounds Sterling (US$97.8 million). The combined businesses are organized under a UK-based holding company of which Men’s Wearhouse controls 86% and certain existing shareholders of Dimensions controls 14%.
The financial results of the combined operations, excluding integration and transaction costs, are expected to be neutral to $0.01 accretive to the Company’s 3Q FY 2010 diluted earning per share. Total sales of the combined operations are expected in a range of US$49 million to US$51 million. Transaction costs and integration expenses for third quarter are expected to be $1.8 million ($1.1 million after tax and non-controlling interest or $0.02 per diluted share outstanding).
Tuxedo Distribution Closures
In late August 2010, a decision was made by the Company to cease tuxedo distribution operations in November 2010 at four of the eleven facilities that we currently use for tuxedo distribution. The operations at these four facilities will be assumed by other tuxedo distribution facilities in our system allowing us to more effectively manage our tuxedo rental operations.
In the third quarter, we expect a charge of approximately $2.2 million ($1.5 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share outstanding) consisting primarily of severance payments and fixed asset write-offs. In the fourth quarter, we expect an additional charge of approximately $0.6 million consisting primarily of severance payments, fixed asset write-offs and facility remediation.
The expected benefit to fiscal 2011 as a result of these closures would be a reduction in operating costs of approximately $4.0 million.
Third Quarter Financial Guidance Summary
For the third quarter of the fiscal year, GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be in a range of $0.35 to $0.42. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to be in a range of $0.40 to $0.47 excluding transaction costs and integration expenses of $1.8 million ($1.1 million after tax and non-controlling interest or $0.02 per diluted share outstanding) and $2.2 million in tuxedo distribution closure costs ($1.5 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share outstanding).
