Tandy Brands Reports Fiscal 2013 First Quarter Earnings Results
- First quarter adjusted net loss increased $0.2 million on $0.9 million lower net sales
- Net sales for Gifts segment up $0.7 million or 12%
- Gifts segment holiday 2012 order book up $7.2 million or 26%
DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq:TBAC) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $25.9 million, a decrease of three percent versus the prior year first quarter. Accessories segment net sales were $20.0 million for the first quarter, a decline of $1.5 million from the same quarter of fiscal 2012. The decline reported in the accessories segment net sales was a result of higher sales of exited product categories in the prior year period, offset slightly by higher levels of replenishment orders by the Company's largest customer during the current year period. Net sales for the gifts segment were $5.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 12 percent over the prior year, primarily due to increased holiday shipments.
First quarter fiscal 2013 gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 31.6 percent, compared to 34.1 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Accessories segment gross margin remained consistent to the prior year period at 33.9 percent. Gifts segment gross margin was 24.0 percent, compared to 35.3 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in gift gross margin percentage was driven by higher freight costs, higher customer deductions, and higher volume of customer-direct shipments. Customer-direct shipments contribute lower gross margins due to being shipped directly from the Company's suppliers to the Company's customers, avoiding the associated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs. Total SG&A expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 declined three percent to $8.9 million following the three percent reduction in net sales.
"Our first quarter results have us set-up for a good first half," said Rod McGeachy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tandy Brands. "We expect our holiday 2012 gift net sales to be up $6.0 to $8.0 million over the comparable prior year first half. This growth is driven by execution of our licensing strategies. Specifically, our Eddie Bauer license has contributed meaningful growth in sales of our gifts, belts and small leather goods."
For the first quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss increased $0.2 million to $1.2 million compared to adjusted net loss of $1.0 million in the prior year first quarter.
Financial Position
The Company ended the 2013 first quarter with $19.9 million in working capital, including $11.7 million of receivables, $49.9 million of inventories, and borrowings of $24.4 million.
Net cash used for operating activities was $6.4 million higher than the prior year period primarily due to higher gift inventory on hand to fulfill increased customer orders that will ship in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.3 million higher than the prior year period due to higher borrowings for inventory purchases to support growth in the gifts segment and the one-time cash inflows generated in the prior year for the commencement of a factoring facility entered into with the Company's largest customer.
"Our inventories and current liabilities peaked as we expected," said McGeachy. "As we enter the second quarter, our cash cycle will improve and current liabilities will be significantly reduced."
Outlook
"As we sit in the midst of our peak selling season, I remain confident that we will produce meaningful improvement in our bottom-line in fiscal 2013," said McGeachy.

Unaudited Non-GAAP Disclosures
(in thousands except per share amounts)
Our adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain acquisition-related and one-time items. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides useful information about our business activities and also is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in evaluating a company's performance. Not all companies utilize identical calculations; therefore, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other identically titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The following table reconciles our GAAP net income (loss) to the adjusted EBITDA disclosures.
