TANDY BRANDS ACCESSORIES REPORTS
SECOND QUARTER 2006 RESULTS
ARLINGTON, TX, January 26, 2006 — Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq NM:TBAC)today announced financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2005.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2006, net sales were $73.9 million compared to $74.0 million for the same period last year. Net income was $2.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the prior year’s second quarter. These results are in line with the preliminary results announced on January 19th.
During the second quarter, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $0.14 per diluted share for impairment of goodwill associated with the women’s mass merchant business. Operating results were negatively impacted by lowering of margins on women’s merchandise to reduce excess inventory, slower than expected replenishment sales of men’s accessories at several large customers and $900,000 in unplanned freight charges and hurricane related delays.
“We are disappointed in the quarter’s results and are working aggressively to improve profitability in all operating divisions,” said J.S.B. Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Most of our men’s businesses are performing quite well, including an 18.7% sales growth in our gift accessories category for the quarter. However, we continue to be disappointed in certain women’s lines and are carefully evaluating the contribution and prospects for each product line. This could result in the discontinuance of certain areas of our women’s business before the end of our current fiscal year. Our initiatives to improve shareholder return also include a focus on the growth and penetration of successful product lines, scheduling improvement, margin increases and expense reduction.”
“I am pleased to announce Jane Batts has just been hired as the new President of our Women’s division,” continued Mr. Jenkins. “Jane brings over 20 years of women’s merchandising experience, leadership, a great deal of enthusiasm and a fresh approach to our businesses. I look forward to working with her to improve the contributions and growth of our Women’s business.”
The Company anticipates full year fiscal 2006 sales to be in the range of $218 to $223 million, about flat with last year’s sales. Excluding the impairment charge described above and any potential restructuring charges, full year fiscal 2006 earnings are anticipated to be in the range of $0.32 to $0.39 per diluted share.
The Company reported in its press release on January 19, that the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.0275 per common share that will be payable April 20, 2006, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2006.
