PART I
Item 1. Business.
General.
Founded in 1919, Proffitt's, Inc. is a leading regional specialty
department store company offering a wide selection of fashion
apparel, accessories, cosmetics, and decorative home furnishings,
featuring assortments of premier brands and unique specialty
merchandise. The Company's stores are primarily anchor stores in
leading regional malls. The Company's objective is to be the
dominant specialty department store chain in its region through a
strategy which combines fashion leadership with opening or
acquiring new stores and expanding and renovating existing stores.
The Company has experienced significant growth since 1991. During
1992 and 1993, the Company purchased certain real and personal
property and assumed certain operating leases of eighteen store
locations from Hess Department Stores, Inc. and Crown American
Corporation for a total purchase price of approximately $24
million. The acquired locations were in Tennessee, Virginia,
Georgia, and Kentucky. These stores were renovated and placed in
service as Proffitt's stores in 1992 and 1993.
In March 1994, Proffitt's, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of Macco Investments, Inc., a holding company for
McRae's, Inc., a privately-owned retail department store chain with
28 department stores headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi. The
acquisition price for the common stock and certain real property
totaled approximately $212 million.
The Company now operates two stores divisions: the Proffitt's
Division with 25 stores and the McRae's Division with 28 department
stores and one home furnishings specialty store. The Proffitt's
stores are located in Tennessee (twelve stores), Virginia (eight
stores), Georgia (two stores), Kentucky (two stores), and North
Carolina (one store). The McRae's department stores are located in
Alabama (thirteen stores), Mississippi (twelve stores), Florida (two
stores), and Louisiana (one store).
The Company operates separate merchandising, sales promotion, and
store operating divisions for the Proffitt's and McRae's Divisions
but operates centralized administrative and support functions, such
as accounting, information systems, and credit.
In March 1995, the Company purchased a majority interest in Parks-
Belk Company, the owner/operator of four Parks-Belk stores located in
northeast Tennessee for an undisclosed purchase price which was not
material. The Company intends to purchase the remaining interest in
Parks-Belk and convert the stores to Proffitt's stores in 1995.
MERCHANDISING.
The Company's merchandising strategy is to provide middle to upper
income customers a wide assortment of fashionable apparel,
accessories, cosmetics, and decorative home furnishings. The
Company's commitment to a branded merchandising strategy, enhanced by
its merchandise presentation and high level of customer service,
makes it a preferred distribution channel for premier brand-name
merchandise. Key brands featured include Liz Claiborne, Polo/Ralph
Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Estee Lauder, Vanity Fair, and Waterford.
The Company supplements its branded assortments with high-quality,
private-label merchandise.
Proffitt's, Inc. has developed a thorough knowledge of its regional
market and customer base. Such knowledge, in conjunction with
frequent store visits by senior management and merchandising
personnel and use of on-line merchandise information, enables the
Company to tailor each store's merchandise assortments to the unique
characteristics of its markets.
Management and the merchandising staff utilize an inventory tracking
system which provides on-line information as to current sales and
inventory levels by store, department, vendor, class, style, size,
and color. Based on this information, the Company can analyze market
trends, identify fast- or slow- moving merchandise, and make
reordering and pricing decisions on a daily basis.
ADVERTISING AND SALES PROMOTION.
Proffitt's advertising and sales promotion strategy primarily is
designed to reinforce the Company's image as the fashion leader in
its markets. The Company's advertisements and promotional events
highlight the style, quality, and value of its merchandise.
A variety of media, including newspaper, television, radio, and
direct mail, are used to advertise specific brands and special
events. The Company's advertising and special events are produced by
an in-house sales promotion staff in conjunction with outside
advertising agencies as needed. The Company utilizes data captured
through the use of the Proffitt's and McRae's credit cards to develop
segmented advertising and promotional events targeted at specific
customers who have established purchasing patterns for certain
brands, departments, and store locations. To promote its image as
the fashion leader in its markets, the Company also sponsors fashion
shows and in-store special events highlighting the Company's key
brands.
CUSTOMER SERVICE.
The Company believes that personal customer attention builds loyalty
and that the Company's sales associates provide a superior level of
customer service. Each store is staffed with knowledgeable, friendly
sales associates skilled in salesmanship and customer service. Sales
associates maintain customer records, send personalized thank-you
notes, and communicate personally with customers to advise them of
special promotions and new merchandise offerings. Superior customer
service is encouraged through the development and monitoring of sales
goals and through specific award and recognition programs.
SEASONALITY.
The Company's business, like that of most retailers, is subject to
seasonal influences, with a significant portion of its net sales and
net income realized during the fourth quarter of each year, which
includes the Christmas selling season. Generally, more than 30% of
the Company's sales and over 50% of its net income are generated
during the fourth quarter.
PURCHASING AND DISTRIBUTION.
The Company purchases merchandise from numerous suppliers.
Management monitors the Company's profitability and sales history
with each key vendor and believes it has alternative sources
available for each category of merchandise it purchases. Management
believes it has a good relationship with its suppliers.
For the Proffitt's Division, merchandise is shipped directly from
suppliers to the Division's 96,000 square foot distribution center in
metropolitan Knoxville, Tennessee, where it is inspected, entered
into the inventory control system, and tagged with computer-generated
price tickets.
The McRae's Division completed the construction of a 164,000 square
foot state-of-the-art distribution facility in Jackson, Mississippi,
in early 1994. This owned facility is designed to serve up to 38
stores and can be readily expanded to serve up to 100 stores.
The data system which the McRae's Division has developed for its new
distribution center utilizes the latest technology and is expected to
improve efficiency and generate cost savings. For example, the high
speed automated conveyor system designed for the center is capable of
scanning bar coded labels and diverting cartons to the proper
merchandise processing areas. In addition, some types of merchandise
are being processed in the receiving area and immediately "cross-
docked" to the shipping dock for delivery to the stores. Certain
processing areas are staffed with personnel equipped with hand-held
radio frequency terminals that can scan a vendor's bar code and
transmit the necessary information to a computer to check-in
merchandise. This technology, when fully utilized, will create a
nearly paperless environment for the distribution function.
COMPETITION.
The specialty department store business is highly competitive. The
Company's stores compete with several national and regional
department stores, specialty apparel stores, and other retail stores,
some of which have greater financial and other resources than the
Company. Management believes that its knowledge of the Company's
regional markets and customer base provides a competitive advantage.
EMPLOYEES.
At March 31, 1995, the Proffitt's Division employed approximately
3700 associates of whom approximately 1400 were employed on a part-
time basis (fewer than 30 hours per week). On that date, the McRae's
Division employed approximately 5700 associates, of whom 2000 were
employed on a part-time basis (fewer than 30 hours per week). The
Company hires additional temporary employees and increases the hours
of part-time employees during seasonal peak selling periods. None of
the Company's employees is covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. The Company considers its relations with its employees to
be good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Proffitt's Division's leased administrative offices are located
in the Midland Shopping Center in metropolitan Knoxville, Tennessee
and consist of approximately 45,000 square feet. The Division's
owned distribution center is located in metropolitan Knoxville and
contains approximately 96,000 square feet.
The McRae's Division owns its administrative office building in
Jackson, Mississippi. This facility consists of 288,000 square feet
of space, of which 136,000 square feet is office space and 152,000
square feet is the Division's processing area for merchandise returns
to vendors and a furniture warehouse. The 164,000 square foot
distribution center located in metropolitan Jackson is owned.
The following table summarizes all owned and leased store locations.
Store leases generally require the Company to pay the greater of a
fixed minimum rent or an amount based on a percentage of sales.
Generally, the Company is responsible under its store leases for a
portion of mall promotion and common area maintenance expenses and
for certain utility, property tax, and insurance expenses.
Typically, the Company contributes to common mall promotion,
maintenance, property tax, and insurance expenses at its owned
locations.
