Brown Shoe Company Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Results
Annual sales increased to $2.6 billion
Portfolio realignment efforts contribute to stronger foundation for 2012
ST. LOUIS, March 7, 2012 – Brown Shoe Company, Inc. (NYSE: BWS, brownshoe.com) today reported its 2011 financial results, with net sales of $2.6 billion, an increase compared to 2010 net sales of $2.5 billion. Full year net earnings of $24.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, were down compared to $37.2 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in 2010. On an adjusted* basis, net earnings were $30.3 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to $42.5 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, in the prior year. Gross profit margin for 2011 was 38.6% versus 40.1% in 2010.
For the fourth quarter, net sales of $628.9 million increased compared to fourth quarter 2010 net sales of $604.5 million. A net loss of ($8.2) million, or ($0.21) per diluted share, was down when compared to earnings of $3.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. On an adjusted* basis, net earnings were $4.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 37.9% versus 38.9% in the prior year.
“With the fourth quarter, we concluded a challenging year by continuing to execute against our previously announced portfolio realignment efforts, and this included evaluating and reducing the indirect costs associated with the businesses we have exited,” said Diane Sullivan, president and chief executive officer of Brown Shoe Company. “Since our third quarter 2011 earnings call, we have closed our factory in JiangXi, China, developed plans for the closure of our distribution center in Sikeston, Mo., and worked to identify an additional 15 Famous Footwear locations to be closed in 2012.”
“For 2011, in addition to delivering revenue of $2.6 billion and adjusted earnings of $0.70, we made significant headway in setting the stage for an improved 2012 and accelerated our ability to more quickly deliver stronger returns to our shareholders,” continued Sullivan. “For 2012, we will build on these efforts, while delivering great product -- on time and on quality -- and executing against expectations.”

Full Year Highlights
Famous Footwear reported a year-over-year decline in 2011 net sales of (2.0%), which was the result of a (48.6%) decrease in toning sales. Excluding toning, net sales were up 0.9%, due to strength in running and sandal sales. For 2011, same store sales at Famous Footwear decreased (1.2%) versus a 10.5% gain in 2010. During the year, the company closed 70 stores -- which included both relocations and underperforming locations -- while adding 49 new stores. On a year-over-year basis, the total number of stores decreased to 1,089 from 1,110.
Wholesale Operations net sales improved 15.4% compared to 2010, as a result of the ASG acquisition completed in February of 2011. Legacy Wholesale Operations net sales were down (2.5%) versus growth of 19.4% in 2010, as the company’s Dr. Scholl’s Shoes brand continued to feel pressure from a year-over-year decline in toning sales.
Consolidated gross profit was down slightly in 2011, while gross profit margin declined 150 basis points versus the prior year. The reduction in gross margin, when compared to 2010, was primarily due to both lower sales and a decline in gross margin at Famous Footwear related to a decrease in toning sales and lower prices for toning shoes. Gross margins were also negatively impacted by mix shift. For 2011, retail and wholesale net sales were 66% and 34%, respectively, compared to 70% and 30% in 2010.
GAAP earnings per diluted share for 2011 of $0.56 included a $0.04 gain from portfolio realignment efforts -- including a $0.32 gain from the sale of AND 1, partially offset by ($0.28) of costs associated with exiting various Wholesale Operations brands -- ($0.16) of ASG acquisition and integration related costs and a ($0.02) loss on early extinguishment of debt. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings were $0.70 per diluted share. For 2010, GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.85 included ($0.10) of costs related to the company’s IT initiatives and ($0.02) of acquisition costs. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings were $0.97 per diluted share.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Famous Footwear reported a year-over-year decline in fourth quarter net sales of (0.9%), as growth of 39.1% in running and 14.8% in sandals sales was unable to offset a (59.3%) decrease in toning and a (5.7%) decrease in boot sales. In the fourth quarter, same store sales at Famous Footwear decreased (0.8%) versus a 4.9% gain in 2010. During the quarter, the company closed 38 stores -- including both relocations and underperforming locations -- and added six new stores.
Wholesale Operations net sales improved 17.9% over the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to the ASG acquisition. Legacy Wholesale Operations net sales were up 1.7% versus a 15.1% improvement in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The company saw continued growth in its Contemporary Fashion portfolio, during the fourth quarter of 2011, led by the Sam Edelman, Franco Sarto and Vera Wang brands.
Consolidated gross profit increased 1.4% in the fourth quarter, while gross profit margin declined 100 basis points. The reduction in gross margin, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, was primarily due to increased promotional activity at Famous Footwear during the quarter. In Wholesale Operations, the acquisition of ASG -- together with strong performance from the company’s Sam Edelman, Franco Sarto, LifeStride and Vera Wang brands -- contributed positively to gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2011. Gross margins were, however, negatively impacted by mix shift. Retail and wholesale net sales were 67% and 33%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to 71% and 29% in the prior year.
For the fourth quarter of 2011, the company reported a loss per diluted share of ($0.21) on a GAAP basis, which included ($0.27) of portfolio realignment costs -- including costs associated with exiting various Wholesale Operations brands and a ($0.04) adjustment on the gain on the sale of AND 1 -- and ($0.04) of ASG acquisition and integration related costs. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings were $0.10 per diluted share. For the fourth quarter of 2010, GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.08 included ($0.02) of costs related to the company’s IT initiatives and ($0.01) of acquisition costs. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings were $0.11 per diluted share.
Inventory at the end of the fourth quarter was $561.8 million, up 7.2% compared to $524.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Famous Footwear inventory was down, while Wholesale Operations inventory was up, with the majority of the year-over-year increase a result of the ASG acquisition. At quarter-end, Brown Shoe Company had approximately $296.7 million in availability under its revolving credit facility and $47.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Financial Review and 2012 Outlook
“For 2012, while we expect to recover a portion of our 2011 SAP costs, and believe any potential impact from toning will be manageable, we are nonetheless planning cautiously and expect to see adjusted EPS of $0.78 to $0.92,” said Mark Hood, chief financial officer of Brown Shoe Company. “We expect results to be more heavily weighted toward the third and fourth quarters, as the portfolio realignment work we are completing in the first and second quarters will begin to deliver in the back half of the year.”

| (1) In accordance with GAAP, purchase accounting rules require the company to record inventory at fair value (i.e., expected selling price less costs to sell) on the acquisition date. This results in lower than typical gross margins when the acquired inventory is sold. This adjustment reflects the elimination of the unfavorable impact of lower gross margins for ASG product sold in the first half of 2011. | ||||||||||||||||
