Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results
For the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded net earnings of $20.8 million, a 41.3% decrease compared to adjusted net earnings of $35.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Diluted earnings per share decreased 42.9% to $0.24, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.42 for the prior-year quarter. The prior-year adjusted net earnings excluded restructuring charges of $1.9 million ($1.4 million net of taxes). On a GAAP basis, prior-year third quarter net earnings were $34.0 million and diluted earnings per share totaled $0.40, including an unfavorable $0.02 after-tax impact from the restructuring charges.
Paul Marciano, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Third quarter results were within the range of our expectations from an operations perspective. In North America, store traffic and the promotional environment remained headwinds. We continued to see good momentum in our North American e-commerce business with an almost 40% increase in the top-line. Going into the fourth quarter, overall trends in North America have softened compared to the third quarter. In Europe, softer traffic in the third quarter drove lower retail sales than expected, however trends have improved so far in the fourth quarter. We are also pleased with our European wholesale orders for Spring Summer 15 as same-store buys are up year-over-year.”
Total net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 3.9% to $589.8 million, from $613.5 million in the prior-year quarter. In constant currency, total net revenue decreased 2.6%.
| |
| • | The Company’s retail stores and e-commerce sites in North America generated revenue of $243.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, a 4.2% decrease from $253.8 million in the same period a year ago. Comparable store sales including the results of our e-commerce sites for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 4.8% in U.S. dollars and 3.5% in constant currency compared to the same period a year ago. |
| |
| • | Net revenue from the Company’s Europe segment decreased 5.5% to $189.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, from $200.9 million in the prior-year period. In local currency, net revenue decreased 2.5%. |
| |
| • | Net revenue from the Company’s Asia segment decreased 2.0% to $71.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, from $72.7 million in the prior-year period. In constant currency, net revenue decreased 5.1%. |
| |
| • | Net revenue from the Company’s North American Wholesale segment was relatively flat at $53.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $53.6 million in the prior-year period. In constant currency, net revenue increased 1.6%. |

Operating earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 50.1% to $24.9 million (including a $0.1 million favorable currency translation impact), from adjusted operating earnings of $49.8 million in the prior-year period. Operating margin in the third quarter decreased 390 basis points to 4.2%, compared to adjusted operating margin of 8.1% in the prior-year quarter. The lower operating margin primarily reflects higher store impairment charges and the negative impact on the Company’s fixed cost structure from negative same store sales in North America and Europe, as well as more markdowns in North America. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings decreased 48.2% and operating margin decreased 360 basis points.
Other net income, which primarily includes net unrealized and realized mark-to-market gains on foreign currency contracts and net unrealized gains on non-operating assets, was $7.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $3.6 million in the prior-year quarter.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on January 2, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 17, 2014.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
The financial information presented in this release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as “adjusted” results (to exclude the impact of restructuring charges incurred during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2013), constant currency financial information and free cash flow measures. The non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company’s reported GAAP results.
The Company has excluded restructuring charges, and related tax impact, incurred during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2013 from its adjusted financial measures primarily because it does not believe such charges reflect the Company’s ongoing operating results or future outlook. The Company believes that these adjusted financial measures are useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the comparability of the Company’s operating results when reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial statements. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to comparable non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
This release also includes certain constant currency financial information. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amount reported from translating the Company’s foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results under GAAP. The Company provides constant currency information to enhance the visibility of underlying business trends, excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. To calculate revenues and earnings from operations on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current-year period are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The Company also includes information regarding its free cash flows in this release. The Company calculates free cash flows as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flows is not intended to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, but rather provides additional visibility to investors regarding how much cash is generated for discretionary and non-discretionary items after deducting purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of reported GAAP cash flows from operating activities to the comparable non-GAAP free cash flow measure is provided in the accompanying tables.

| Notes: | | | |
| 1 |
| During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company implemented plans to streamline its operational structure and reduce expenses in both Europe and North America. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company expanded these plans to include the consolidation and streamlining of its operations in Europe and Asia. These plans resulted in the restructuring charges incurred during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2013. No adjustments have been made to the same current-year periods.
|

| The income tax effect of the restructuring charges was based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility using the statutory tax rate of the tax jurisdiction in which the charges were incurred. |
