=========== =========== =========== ============ =========== ===========
Net Sales
Net sales decreased 2% for the three and six month periods ended July 29, 2000, respectively, compared to the three and six month periods ended July 31, 1999. These decreases were primarily due to decreases in comparable store sales of 3% for the respective three and six month periods ended July 29, 2000 compared to the same periods in 1999. The weakest performing merchandise categories were children’s clothing and women and juniors clothing, which decreased 5% and 4%, respectively. Net sales were essentially flat for the twelve month period ended July 29, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. As a result of the lower than planned sales levels, the relationship of cost of sales to sales and advertising, selling, administrative and general expenses to sales was negatively impacted (see below).
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, as a percent of net sales, increased to 65.9% for the quarter ended July 29, 2000 from 64.7% for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was due to lower than planned sales levels resulting in aggressive markdowns on slow moving inventory and management’s continuing initiative to control and reduce inventory levels in order to maintain inventory at the desired levels. Comparable store inventories decreased by 8% from last year’s second quarter.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, for the six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 was 66.2% and 65.2%, respectively. Cost of sales for the twelve months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 was 66.9% and 66.6%, respectively. In addition to the factors mentioned above, cost of sales for the twelve months ended July 31, 1999 included a charge of $39 million for inventory valuation adjustments resulting from the alignment of Acquired Store inventories to reflect the Company’s merchandising and pricing philosophy.
Advertising, Selling, Administrative and General Expenses
Advertising, Selling, Administrative and General (“SG&A”) expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 28.4% for the quarter ended July 29, 2000 from 27.7% for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The increase in SG&A expenses, as a percent of net sales, is primarily due to a lack of sales leverage during the quarter. In absolute dollars, SG&A expenses decreased $814,000 for the quarter ended July 29, 2000 compared to the second quarter in 1999. The decline was primarily the result of an improvement of 25 basis points in bad debt experience during the quarter.
The comparable relationship between SG&A expenses and net sales for the six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively, was 27.0% and 26.3%, with the increase due to the factors discussed above.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense, as a percent of net sales, increased for the three, six and twelve month periods ended July 29, 2000 compared to similar periods in 1999, due primarily to shorter weighted average lives of property and equipment in 2000 compared to 1999 and the reduced levels of sales in 2000 compared to 1999.
Rentals
Rental expense, as a percent of net sales, for the three, six and twelve month periods ended July 29, 2000 was .9% .8% and .9%, respectively, compared to .8%, .8% and .9%, respectively, for the three, six and twelve month periods ended July 31, 1999.
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense, as a percent of net sales, was 3.1% and 3.0% for the three and six month periods ended July 29, 2000 compared to 3.0% for three and six month periods in 1999. Interest and debt expense was $57.6 and $116.3 million for the three and six month periods ended July 29, 2000 compared with $57.4 and $120.1 million for the similar periods in 1999.
Interest and debt expense, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 2.7% for the twelve month period ended July 29, 2000 from 2.9% for the twelve month period in 1999.
Service Charges, Interest and Other Income
Service charges, interest and other income, as a percent of net sales, have remained generally constant between the three, six and twelve month periods of 2000 and 1999.
Income Taxes
The effective federal and state income tax rates for the three and six month periods ended July 29, 2000 were 38% compared to 38% for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 1999. The effective federal and state tax rates for the twelve month period ended July 29, 2000 was 44% compared to 39% for the twelve month period ended July 31, 1999. The increase in the effective tax rate is the result of the nondeductible portion of the impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
Financial Condition
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $362.4 million and $290.1 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is due primarily to a reduction in merchandise inventories of $193 million or 8% from 1999 levels.
The Company invested $102.4 million in capital expenditures for the six months ended July 29, 2000 compared to $81.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 1999.
During the six months ended July 29, 2000, the Company opened the Palm Beach store in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition, the Company embarked on major expansions at the Willowbrook store in Houston, Texas and the Rimrock store in Billings, Montana and completed replacement stores at La Plaza in McAllen, Texas and Sunrise Mall in Brownsville, Texas. Five stores were closed during the six month period totaling 636,000 square feet of retail space.
The Company opened two stores in August 2000; the Flatiron Crossing store in Broomfield, Colorado and the North Plains store in Clovis, New Mexico. Anticipated store openings in the third quarter of 2000, include the Quintard mall store in Oxford, Alabama and the Aiken Mall store in Aiken, South Carolina.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $174.7 million and $142.6 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities during 2000 is due primarily to the repurchase 6.8 million shares of Class A common stock for $104 million. During the six months ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, the Company reduced its level of outstanding debt by $70.3 million and $161.2 million, respectively.
Management of the Company anticipates that it will be necessary to incur short term borrowings of up to $300 million during periods of peak working capital demand in the third and fourth quarters of 2000. Other than peak working capital requirements management believes that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to cover its reasonably foreseeable working capital, capital expenditure, stock repurchase and debt service requirements. Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Company will from time to time consider the issuance of debt or other securities, or other possible capital market transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or other corporate purposes.

The Company cautions that forward-looking statements, as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or made by management are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise. Forward-looking statements of the Company involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by the Company and its management as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Representative examples of those factors (without limitation) include general industry and economic conditions; economic and weather conditions for regions in which the Company’s stores are located and the effect of these factors on the buying patterns of the Company’s customers; changes in consumer spending patterns and debt levels; trends in personal bankruptcies; the impact of competitive market factors and other economic and demographic changes of similar or dissimilar nature; changes in operating expenses, including employee wages, commissions structures and related benefits; and the continued availability of financing in amounts and at the terms necessary to support the Company’s future business.
