PERRY ELLIS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Perry Ellis International, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Perry Ellis” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows required by GAAP. The consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2008.
The information presented reflects all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
2. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Effective February 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities and SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 159 permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period.
A description of the Company’s policies regarding fair value measurement is summarized below.
Fair Value Hierarchy -SFAS 157 requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 – Quoted prices foridenticalinstruments in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 – Quoted prices forsimilarinstruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. |
| • | | Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers areunobservable. |
Determination of Fair Value -The Company generally uses quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to determine fair value, and classifies such items in Level 1. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities,
4
and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc. Assets or liabilities valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
The following describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each asset or liability is generally classified.
Marketable Securities - The Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of marketable securities, which are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
3. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” which requires a business entity to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. SFAS 158 also requires a business entity to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 158, the Company will measure its plan assets and benefit obligations as of its January 31, 2009 fiscal year end. The Company does not expect the change in the measurement date to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations,” which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until February 1, 2009. The Company expects SFAS 141R will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions it consummates after the effective date. The Company is still assessing the full impact this standard will have on its future consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impact, if any, this new pronouncement will have on its financial statements.
5
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which improves the disclosure of derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides for more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. This statement is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impact, if any, this new pronouncement will have on its financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” which classifies unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities and requires them to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are to be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this Staff Position, with early application not permitted. The adoption of this Staff Position, which will require the Company to allocate a portion of net income to these participating securities, is not expected to have a material effect on its historical or future reported earnings per share.
4. | C&C CALIFORNIA AND LAUNDRY BY SHELLI SEGAL BRANDS ACQUISITION |
On February 4, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands and related assets from Liz Claiborne, Inc. The acquisition was financed through existing cash and borrowings under the Company’s existing senior credit facility. The results of operations of the acquired brands have been included in the Company’s operations beginning as of the date of the acquisition.
Both brands are ideally positioned to address the fastest growing segment within women’s apparel: contemporary. Both brands sell in luxury retail stores and high-end specialty boutiques. Together they expand the Company’s women’s contemporary business platform.
The revised aggregate purchase price was approximately $34.0 million, which represents the sum of (i) $32.7 million paid in cash, and (ii) acquisition costs of $1.2 million, of which $348,000 remains unpaid as of October 31, 2008.
6
The following table summarizes the revised estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed after the preliminary valuation. The following purchase accounting adjustments include fair value adjustments and the preliminary allocation of purchase price based on fair value as required under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”:

| | | | |
Intangible assets consist of non amortizing trademark intangibles.
Proforma financial information is not presented because it is deemed immaterial to the Company’s consolidated operations.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average cost) or market. Cost principally consists of the purchase price (adjusted for lower of cost or market), customs, duties, freight, insurance and commissions to buying agents.

Marketable securities consist of equity investments which are classified as available for sale. These investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157.) The following is a summary of the investments’ cost, unrealized losses and estimated fair value:

| | | | | | | | |
Estimated fair value | | $ | 362 | | | $ | 1,181 | |
| | | | | | | | |

During the third and second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company determined that certain marketable securities which were classified as available for sale were deemed to be other than temporarily impaired due to the percentage and duration of the loss. Accordingly, impairments in the amounts of approximately $.6 and $2.6 million, before tax, were recognized for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008, respectively, to write down the investment in these marketable securities to their quoted market prices in active markets.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, is a net unrealized loss, net of tax, of $5,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.
The Company has assessed its investment in equity securities available for sale and concluded that other than the events discussed above, no other events have occurred and no facts have been discovered with respect to such investments that would indicate an other than temporary impairment of the investments’ value.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted net income per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes potentially dilutive common stock. The potentially dilutive common stock included in the Company’s computation of diluted net income per share includes the effects of stock options and unvested restricted shares as determined using the treasury stock method.

Effective February 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2004 through 2008 are open tax years. Additionally, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2000 though 2003 represent open tax years, but only to the extent of refund claims previously filed by the Company. The Company’s state tax filings are subject to varying statutes of limitations. The Company’s unrecognized state tax benefits are related to state tax returns open from 2003 through 2008, depending on each state’s particular statute of limitation. As of October 31, 2008, the Company is undergoing a U.S. federal income tax examination for the 2004 tax year. Additionally, various state, local, and foreign income tax returns are also under examination by taxing authorities.
The Company had a $3.9 million liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits as of February 1, 2008, which included interest and penalties of $0.6 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $3.5 million, which includes interest and penalties of $0.5 million. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $130,000 and increased by $105,000, respectively. The change in the total amount of the unrecognized tax benefit for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008 included a decrease in interest and penalties of $24,000 and an increase in interest and penalties of $156,000, respectively.
It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the Company and the Internal Revenue Service will resolve some or all of the matters presently under U.S. federal income tax examination. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the Company may settle its voluntary disclosure process with the State of New Jersey. The Company does not currently anticipate that such resolutions will significantly increase or decrease tax expense within the next twelve months. Furthermore, the statute of limitations related to the Company’s 2005 U.S. federal tax year will expire within the next twelve months. The lapse in the statute of limitations would be expected to decrease tax expense within the next twelve months. The expiration of the statute of limitations related to the Company’s 2005 U.S. federal tax year could result in a tax benefit of up to approximately $1.2 million.
15. | SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY |
In October 2008, the Company amended its senior credit facility. In connection with the amendment, the Company paid approximately $338,000 in financing fees. These fees will be amortized over the term of the senior credit facility. The following description of the terms of the senior credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, et al, as amended, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the senior credit facility: (i) the line is up to $125 million with the opportunity to increase this amount in $25 million increments up to $200 million; (ii) the inventory borrowing limit is $75 million; (iii) the sublimit for letters of credit is up to $40 million, (iv) the amount of letter of credit facilities permitted outside of the facility is $110 million, and (v) the outstanding balance is due at the maturity date of February 1, 2012.
Certain Covenants. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, requires the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA if availability falls below a certain minimum. It may restrict the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. The Company is prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance with any of its covenants under the senior credit facility. The Company could be materially harmed if it violates any covenants as the lenders under the senior credit facility could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If the Company is unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against its assets. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the Company’s indenture and mortgage, resulting in all of its debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which it may not be able to satisfy.
11
Borrowing Base. Borrowings under the senior credit facility are limited under its terms to a borrowing base calculation, which generally restricts the outstanding balances to the lesser of either (1) the sum of (a) 85.0% of eligible receivables plus (b) 85.0% of its eligible factored accounts receivables up to $10.0 million plus (c) the lesser of (i) the inventory loan limit of $75 million, or (ii) the lesser of (A) 65.0% of eligible finished goods inventory, or (B) 85.0% of the net recovery percentage (as defined in the senior credit facility) of eligible inventory, or (2) the loan limit; and in each case minus (x) 35.0% of the amount of outstanding letters of credit for eligible inventory, (y) the full amount of all other outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the senior credit facility which are not fully secured by cash collateral, and (z) licensing reserves for which the Company is the licensee of certain branded products.
Interest. Interest on the principal balance under the senior credit facility accrues, at the Company’s option, at either (a) the greater of Wachovia’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds rate; plus 1/2% plus a margin spread based upon the sum of the Company’s quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash or (b) the rate quoted by Wachovia as the average monthly Eurodollar Rate for 1-month Eurodollar deposits with 200 to 275 basis point adjustments depending upon the sum of its quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash at the time of borrowing.
Security. As security for the indebtedness under the senior credit facility, the Company granted the lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of its existing and future assets other than its trademark portfolio and real estate owned, including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, general intangibles, equipment and capital stock or membership interests, as the case may be, of certain subsidiaries.
The Company’s main administrative office, warehouse and distribution facility is a 240,000 square foot facility in Miami, Florida. The facility was partially financed with an $11.6 million real estate mortgage loan. The real estate mortgage contains certain covenants and as of October 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. At October 31, 2008, the balance of the real estate mortgage loan totaled $11.0 million. Interest is fixed at 7.123%. On August 18, 2008, the Company executed an extension commitment of the real estate mortgage loan extending the maturity until July 1, 2010.
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,”the Company’s segments are grouped between the generation of revenues from products and royalties. The Licensing segment derives its revenues from royalties associated from the use of its brand names, principally Perry Ellis, Jantzen, John Henry, Original Penguin, Gotcha, Farah, Savane, Pro Player, Manhattan, Munsingwear and Laundry by Shelli Segal. The Product segment derives its revenues from the design, import and distribution of apparel to department stores and other retail outlets, principally throughout the United States.
The Company allocates certain corporate selling, general and administrative expenses based primarily on the revenues generated by the segments.

19. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
In January 2007, Victory International (USA) LLC (“Victory”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and other named defendants alleging fraud and interference with contract and other violations, in connection with the Company’s rejection of consent to the request by Parlux Fragrances, Inc. to assign the Perry Ellis fragrance license to Victory. On August 8, 2008, the Company and Victory stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice of all claims and counterclaims that were or could have been asserted against each other in the action, with each party to bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Company is a party to certain pending legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including claims arising from the use of trademarks. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any pending claims will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
20. | STRATEGIC REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
Because of the continuing negative economic conditions, the company is undertaking a comprehensive strategic review of its assets, practices and competitive position and will determine primarily during the upcoming fourth quarter how best to change the business to succeed in the current and anticipated future economic climate.
The strategic review is expected to include: the consolidation of the Tampa bottom’s production department; headcount reduction in the men’s specialty store businesses; reduction in the shared services cost structure and advertising and promotion budget for the men’s specialty store business; restructuring of the Perry Ellis Outlet operations; and a hiring freeze and reduction of travel and other discretionary expenses. This review will result in severance costs and certain real estate exit costs. Such strategic decisions could lead to further savings initiatives, impairment charges, changes to our distribution facilities and modifications to our business. The Company has determined that no impairment of its long lived assets exists as of October 31, 2008.
13
Most of the identified expenses in connection with this strategic review are expected to be incurred during the fourth quarter. However during the third quarter, the Company incurred approximately $560,000 in certain real estate exit costs and severance charges which is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
The impact of these future decisions will be combined with our assessment of the competitive and economic environment and will be utilized during the Company’s annual testing for possible impairment of its trademarks. This test is conducted annually on February 1. This assessment of the carrying value of trademarks may be impacted by the strategic decisions made as part of the company-wide review.
21. | CONSOLIDATING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Company and several of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior subordinated notes on a joint and several basis. The following are consolidating condensed financial statements, which present, in separate columns: Perry Ellis International, Inc., (Parent Only), the Guarantors on a combined, or where appropriate, consolidated basis, and the Non-Guarantors on a consolidated basis. Additional columns present eliminating adjustments and consolidated totals as of October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008 and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007. The combined Guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of Perry Ellis International, Inc., and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior subordinated notes payable on a joint and several basis. The Company has not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the combined Guarantors because management has determined that such information is not material to investors.
The consolidating condensed statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 31, 2007 has been restated to correct the presentation of the Parent Only cash and cash equivalents balances and transactions that are settled, on a net basis, through the Company’s intercompany payables and receivables.
The Company had previously presented intercompany payables and receivables transactions between the Parent and its guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries as operating activities. These transactions should have been presented in financing activities. As these changes in the classification are eliminated in consolidation, there is no impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 31, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies
Included in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2008 is a summary of all significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We follow the accounting methods and practices as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In particular, our critical accounting policies and areas we use judgment are in the areas of revenue recognition, the estimated collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability of obsolete or overstocked inventory, the impairment of long-lived assets that are our trademarks, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the measurement of retirement related benefits and stock-based compensation. We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2008.
Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three and nine months periods of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009 (“fiscal 2009”) compared with the three and nine months periods of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 (“fiscal 2008”).
Results of Operations—three and nine months ended October 31, 2008 compared to three and nine months ended October 31, 2007.
Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2008 were $216.2 million, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 2.1%, from $220.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily driven by an increase in sales allowances of approximately $4.0 million, a revenue decline of $4.5 million related to the effect of Chapter 11 filings or liquidations from multiple customers, the reduction of our private label bottoms business, and the reduction of certain brands in our specialty store channels; partially offset by organic growth of several of our platforms— Perry Ellis Collection, swim, golf lifestyle, denim, and Hispanic lines. Additionally, net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 included approximately $5.7 million due to the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 were $641.4 million, an increase of $9.0 million, or 1.4%, from $632.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. This increase was primarily driven by several of our growth platforms— Perry Ellis Collection, swim, golf lifestyle, denim, and Hispanic lines. Additionally, net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 included approximately $22.4 million due to the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was partially offset by a planned reduction of $26.0 million in our bottoms private label and replenishment business and the third quarter factors described above.
21
Royalty income. Royalty income was $6.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007. Royalty income for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 was $18.7 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 2.1%, from $19.1 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the termination of the Gotcha license in Europe offset by the benefit of new licenses added in the categories of outerwear, fragrances, and dress shirts.
Gross profit.Gross profit was $75.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2008, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 1.3%, from $76.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007. Gross profit was $222.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to $216.4 million for nine months ended October 31, 2007, an increase of 2.9%.
As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 34.1% for the three months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to 33.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2007, an increase of 25 basis points. The improvement in the gross profit percentage was positively impacted by the reduction of the bottom’s private label replenishment programs, improved wholesale margins due to increases in our branded businesses, and the addition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands. As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit margins were 33.7% for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to 33.2% for the nine months ended October 31, 2007, an increase of 52 basis points.The improvement in the gross profit percentage came from the factors described above.
Wholesale gross profit margins (which exclude the impact of royalty income) increased to 32.1% for the three months ended October 31, 2008 from 31.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2007. The wholesale gross profit margin percentage increased for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, to 31.8%, as compared to 31.2% for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. These improvements are primarily attributable to the positive impact of the reduction of the bottom’s private label replenishment programs, improved wholesale margins due to increases in our branded businesses, and the addition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2008 was $59.9 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 6.8%, from $56.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 26.9% for the three months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to 24.7% for the three months ended October 31, 2007. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, on a dollar and percentage basis, is attributed to additional costs related to our continued investment into the retail businesses, as well as certain costs associated with the expansion of the women’s contemporary business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, were $182.5 million, an increase of $18.4 million, or 11.2%, from $164.1 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 27.7% for the nine months ended October 31, 2007, as compared to 25.2% for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, on a dollar and percentage basis, is attributed to additional costs related to our continued investment into the boys, action sports, E-commerce and retail businesses, as well as certain costs associated with the expansion of the women’s contemporary business. Additionally, we made substantial management changes in the UK during fiscal 2009 and are in the process of repositioning our European business, which has caused us to incur additional expenses.
As part of our strategic review process, we have identified selling, general and administrative expense reductions in the $14.0 to $15.0 million range for fiscal 2010. The identified initiatives include: the consolidation of the Tampa bottom’s production department; headcount reduction in the men’s specialty store businesses; reduction in the shared services cost structure and advertising and promotion budget for the men’s specialty store business; restructuring of the Perry Ellis Outlet operations; the
22
annualization of distribution cost savings due to the closing of the Winnsboro distribution center; and a hiring freeze and reduction of travel and other discretionary expenses. Most of the identified expenses in connection with this strategic review are expected to be incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Further savings initiatives within the Strategic Review framework are currently under evaluation.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended October 31, 2008 was $3.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 2.9%, from $3.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, was $10.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 13.5%, from $9.6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to the increase in property and equipment, primarily from our Oracle retail system, and our continued expansion in retail stores.
Impairment on marketable securities.During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008, we determined that certain marketable securities that were classified as available for sale were deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. Accordingly, an impairment in the amount of approximately $0.6 million and $2.6 million was recognized for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended October 31, 2008 was $4.4 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 7.3%, from $4.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007. The slight increase in interest expense during the third quarter is primarily attributable to the increase of the average balance in our senior credit facility partially offset by lower interest rates. Interest expense for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 was $13.1 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 5.8%, from $13.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The overall decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to the overall reduction of the average balance and average rate in our senior credit facility for the nine months ended October 31, 2008. We began the first fiscal quarter of 2009 with no borrowings on our senior credit facility and ended the third quarter with $48.2 million as of October 31, 2008.
Income taxes. The income tax provision for the three months ended October 31, 2008, was $2.2 million, a $2.4 million decrease as compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007. For the three months ended October 31, 2008, our effective tax rate was 30.0% as compared to 34.9% for the three months ended October 31, 2007. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate was due to our increase in international operations, as a percentage of total consolidated taxable income, which experience a lower tax rate.
Our income tax provision for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, was $4.3 million, a $5.9 million decrease as compared to $10.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. For the nine months ended October 31, 2008, our effective tax rate was 31.6% as compared to 35.3% for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The decrease in the tax rate is attributed to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreasing during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, our increase in international operations, which experience a lower tax rate and the adjustment of our Federal net operating losses and the associated deferred tax asset during the nine months ended October 31, 2008.
Net income. Net income for the three months ended October 31, 2008 was $5.0 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 41.2%, as compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007. Net income for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 was $8.7 million, a decrease of $9.6 million, or 52.5%, as compared to net income of $18.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The changes in operating results were due to the items described above.
23
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We rely primarily upon cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities to finance our operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures.We believe that as a result of the growth in our business, our working capital requirements will increase during the last quarter of the fiscal year, as a result of planned increases in sales. As of October 31, 2008, our total working capital was $247.5 million as compared to $217.9 million as of January 31, 2008. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our senior credit facility and letter of credit facilities are sufficient to meet our working capital needs. We also believe that our real estate assets which have a net book value of $28.2 million at October 31, 2008, have a higher market value. These real estate assets provide us with additional capital resources. Additional borrowings against these real estate assets, however would be subject to certain loan to value criteria established by lending institutions. Currently we have mortgage loans on these properties totaling $25.2 million.
Net cash used in operating activities was $7.1 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $52.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The decrease of $59.8 million in the level of cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2007, is primarily attributable to a decrease in net income of $9.6 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $14.0 million, an increase in prepaid income taxes of $8.2 million, and the reduction of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the amount of $22.1; partially offset by a decrease in inventory of $16.7 million due to tighter controls in inventory planning and an anticipated reduction in certain replenishment programs. For the nine months ended October 31, 2007, accounts receivable decreased $10.4 million, inventory decreased $17.1 million, and unearned revenues increased $16.8 million; these amounts were offset by the reduction of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the amount of $17.9 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $42.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $12.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The net cash used during the first nine months of Fiscal 2009 primarily reflects the purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $8.5 million and the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands and inventory for $33.6 million, as compared to net cash used in the amount of $12.2 million during the same period in Fiscal 2008 for the net purchase of marketable securities and property and equipment. We anticipate capital expenditures during fiscal 2009 of $12 million in technology and systems, retail stores, and other expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, was $45.5 million, as compared to net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2007 of $38.1 million. The net cash provided during the first nine months of Fiscal 2009 primarily reflects the net borrowings on our senior credit facility of $48.2 million and the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $3.8 million, offset by the payments of $1.3 million on our mortgages, purchase of treasury stock of $5.7 million and a payment of a loan to a minority interest partner of $0.6 million. The net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2007, primarily reflects the net payments on our senior credit facility of $38.3 million. The use of cash was offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $0.7 million. In September 2008, the Board of Directors extended the stock repurchase program, which authorizes us to repurchase up to $20 million of our common stock for cash over the next twelve months. Although the Board of Directors allocated a maximum of $20 million to carry out the program, we are not obligated to purchase any specific number of outstanding shares, and will reevaluate the program on an ongoing basis. Purchases under this plan have amounted to $9.8 million through October 31, 2008.
24
Acquisitions
On February 4, 2008, we completed the acquisition of the C&C California and Laundry by Shelli Segal brands and related assets from Liz Claiborne Inc. The acquisition was financed through existing cash and borrowings under our existing credit facility. The transaction was valued at $34.0 million.
Senior Credit Facility
In October 2008, we amended our senior credit facility. In connection with the amendment, we paid approximately $338,000 in financing fees. These fees will be amortized over the term of our senior credit facility. The following is a description of the terms of our senior credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, et al, as amended, and does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the senior credit facility: (i) the line is up to $125 million with the opportunity to increase this amount in $25 million increments up to $200 million; (ii) the inventory borrowing limit is $75 million; (iii) the sublimit for letters of credit is up to $40 million; (iv) the amount of letter of credit facilities available outside of the facility is $110 million and (v) the outstanding balance is due at the maturity date of February 1, 2012.
Certain Covenants. The senior credit facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, requires us to maintain a minimum EBITDA if availability falls below a certain minimum. It may restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We are not aware of any non-compliance with any of our covenants under the senior credit facility. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants as the lenders under the senior credit facility could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against our assets. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the indenture and mortgage, resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.
Borrowing Base. Borrowings under our senior credit facility are limited under its terms to a borrowing base calculation, which generally restricts the outstanding balances to the lesser of either (1) the sum of (a) 85.0% of eligible receivables plus (b) 85.0% of its eligible factored accounts receivables up to $10.0 million plus (c) the lesser of (i) the inventory loan limit of $75 million, or (ii) the lesser of (A) 65.0% of eligible finished goods inventory, or (B) 85.0% of the net recovery percentage (as defined in the senior credit facility) of eligible inventory, or (2) the loan limit; and in each case minus (x) 35.0% of the amount of outstanding letters of credit for eligible inventory, (y) the full amount of all other outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the senior credit facility which are not fully secured by cash collateral, and (z) licensing reserves for which we are the licensee of certain branded products.
Interest. Interest on the principal balance under our senior credit facility accrues, at our option, at either (a) the greater of Wachovia’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds rate; plus 1/2% plus a margin spread based upon the sum of our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash or (b) the rate quoted by Wachovia as the average monthly Eurodollar Rate for 1-month Eurodollar deposits with 200 to 275 basis point adjustments depending upon the sum of our quarterly average excess availability plus excess cash at the time of borrowing.
Security. As security for the indebtedness under the senior credit facility, we granted the lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of our existing and future assets other than our trademark portfolio and real estate owned, including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, general intangibles, equipment and capital stock or membership interests, as the case may be, of certain subsidiaries.
Letter of Credit Facilities
As of October 31, 2008, we maintained five U.S. dollar letter of credit facilities totaling $130.0 million, one letter of credit facility totaling $3.1 million utilized by our Canadian joint venture, and one letter of credit facility totaling $0.8 million utilized by
25
our United Kingdom subsidiary. Each letter of credit is secured primarily by the consignment of merchandise in transit under that letter of credit and certain subordinated liens on our assets. As of October 31, 2008, there was $114.6 million available under existing letter of credit facilities.
$150 Million Senior Subordinated Notes Payable
In fiscal 2004, we issued $150 million 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes due September 15, 2013. The proceeds of this offering were used to redeem previously issued $100 million 12 1/4 % senior subordinated notes and to pay down the outstanding balance of the senior credit facility at that time. The proceeds to us were $146.8 million yielding an effective interest rate of 9.1%.
Certain Covenants. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains certain covenants which restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, or sell assets. We are not aware of any non-compliance with any of the covenants in this indenture. We are prohibited from paying cash dividends under these covenants. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the indenture’s trustee could declare the outstanding notes, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could also constitute a cross-default under the senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities, and the real estate mortgage loan resulting in all of our debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy.
Real Estate Mortgage Loans
In fiscal 2003, we acquired our main administrative office, warehouse and distribution facility in Miami and partially financed the acquisition of the facility with an $11.6 million mortgage loan. The real estate mortgage loan contains certain covenants. We are not aware of any non-compliance with any of our covenants under the real estate mortgage. We could be materially harmed if we violate any covenants because the lender under the real estate mortgage loan could declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. In addition, a violation could constitute a cross-default under our senior credit facility, the letter of credit facilities and indenture relating to our senior subordinated notes resulting in all our of debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable, which we may not be able to satisfy. Interest is fixed at 7.123%. On August 18, 2008, we executed an extension commitment of the real estate mortgage loan extending the maturity until July 1, 2010.
In October 2005, we acquired three administrative office units in a building in Beijing, China. The aggregate purchase price was $2.3 million, including closing costs. These purchases were partially financed with three variable interest mortgage loans totaling $1.2 million dollars in the aggregate. During March 2008 we paid off the three variable interest mortgage loans.
In June 2006, we entered into a mortgage loan for $15 million secured by our Tampa facility. The loan is due on June 7, 2016. Principal and interest of $297,000 are due quarterly based on a 20 year amortization with the outstanding principal due at maturity. Interest is set at 6.25% for the first five years, at which point it will be reset based on the terms and conditions of the promissory note.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any “off-balance sheet arrangements” as defined by applicable GAAP and SEC rules.
Effects of Inflation and Foreign Currency Fluctuations
We do not believe that inflation or foreign currency fluctuations significantly affected our results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008.
26
Item 3: | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks |
The market risk inherent in our financial statements represents the potential changes in the fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from changes in interest rates. We manage this exposure through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments for identifiable market risk exposure, including interest rate. Currently we have no derivative financial contracts.
Other
Our current exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant and accordingly, we have not entered into any transactions to hedge against those risks.
Item 4: | Controls and Procedures |
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2008 in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings, that information required to be disclosed by us in these periodic filings was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: | OTHER INFORMATION |
In January 2007, Victory International (USA) LLC (“Victory”) filed a lawsuit against us and other named defendants alleging fraud and interference with contract and other violations, in connection with our rejection of consent to the request by Parlux Fragrances, Inc. to assign the Perry Ellis fragrance license to Victory. On August 8, 2008, we and Victory stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice of all claims and counterclaims that were or could have been asserted against each other in the action, with each party to bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
