Oxford Announces Second Quarter Results with Double-Digit Top and Bottom Line Growth


--Second Quarter Earnings Per Share Exceed Guidance--
--Sales Growth of 13% Fueled by Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Addition of Southern Tide--
--Lilly Pulitzer Contributes 32% Operating Margin--

ATLANTA, Aug. 31, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2016 second quarter ended July 30, 2016.  Consolidated net sales increased 13% to $283.0 million compared to $250.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Earnings from continuing operations were $1.44 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $1.27 in the same period of the prior year.  On an adjusted basis, earnings from continuing operations were $1.48 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $1.32 in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. 

Thomas C. Chubb III, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are proud of our accomplishments in the second quarter. We exceeded our expectations for financial performance and demonstrated the strength of our business. Tommy Bahama had a solid performance in the quarter with a 7% increase in comp store sales. Lilly Pulitzer also had a strong quarter with a remarkable 32% operating margin. These contributions from our two largest brands, as well as the first full quarter of Southern Tide in our portfolio, resulted in double-digit year-over-year growth on both the top and bottom lines.”

Mr. Chubb concluded, “We believe our strategic focus on building strong direct to consumer businesses will enable us to deliver another year of sales and earnings growth. We are also mindful that the retail environment remains uncertain for many of our wholesale customers, who are taking a more cautious approach to re-orders and the upcoming holiday season. We are committed to closely managing discretionary costs and our inventory levels, while still investing wisely in infrastructure.  We believe that with powerful brands like Tommy, Lilly and Southern Tide, Oxford is well-positioned to succeed in this rapidly evolving consumer marketplace.”

Consolidated Operating Results
Net Sales Consolidated net sales increased 13% to $283.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $250.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

  • Tommy Bahama’s net sales increased 11% to $184.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, with a comparable store sales increase for the quarter of 7%.
  • Lilly Pulitzer’s net sales increased 8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 to $69.7 million.  Comparable store sales decreased 1% in the quarter following a remarkable 41% comparable store sales increase in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
  • Lanier Apparel’s net sales were $19.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $20.7 million in the second quarter of 2015.
  • Southern Tide, which was acquired on April 19, 2016, had net sales of $9.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Gross Margin and Gross Profit Gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was 58.6% compared to 60.3% in the prior year period.  Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $165.7 million compared to $151.1 million in the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was 58.6% compared to 60.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  Adjusted gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $165.7 million compared to $151.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Several factors contributed to the decline in gross margin in the second quarter: 

  • To maintain appropriate inventory levels, Tommy Bahama offered deeper discounts in its off-price channels, primarily in footwear and women’s. 
  • Higher year-over-year markdowns in Lanier Apparel.
  • A year-over-year shift of a loyalty gift card event at Tommy Bahama, which occurred in the first quarter last year and the second quarter this year.

SG&A In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, SG&A was $130.3 million, or 46.1% of net sales, compared to $120.0 million, or 47.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. On an adjusted basis, SG&A was $129.4 million, or 45.7% of net sales, compared to $119.6 million, or 47.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  The increase in SG&A was primarily due to incremental costs associated with operating additional retail stores and restaurants as well as SG&A associated with the Southern Tide business.  

Royalties and Other Operating Income For the second quarter of fiscal 2016, royalties and other operating income were $3.3 million compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. 

Operating Income In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, operating income increased 11% to $38.7 million compared to $34.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  On an adjusted basis, operating income was $39.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $35.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. 

Interest Expense Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $1.2 million compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  The increase was primarily due to a $0.3 million write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes For the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the effective tax rate was 36.4% compared to 38.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily due to improved international operating results. 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Inventory increased to $133.7 million at July 30, 2016 from $104.8 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  This increase reflects the addition of Southern Tide as well as inventory to support anticipated sales growth in the Company’s other businesses in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

As of July 30, 2016, the Company had $105.9 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit agreement compared to $45.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2015.  The increase was primarily due to the purchase of Southern Tide on April 19, 2016. On May 24, 2016, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement, which increased its revolving credit facility to $325 million and extended maturity to May 2021.

Outlook for Third Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016
The Company initiated its guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, ending on October 29, 2016.  Consistent with prior years, the Company expects the third quarter to be the smallest sales and earnings quarter of the fiscal year reflecting the normal seasonality of the Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer businesses.  The Company expects net sales in a range from $220 million to $230 million compared to net sales of $198.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

For the third quarter, the Company expects a loss per share in a range of $0.12 to $0.02 and adjusted earnings per share in a range from a loss per share of $0.05 to earnings per share of $0.05. This compares with a third quarter fiscal 2015 loss per share of $0.08 on both a GAAP and adjusted basis. 

For the full year, the Company has affirmed its guidance of net sales in the $1.03 billion to $1.05 billion range. The Company also affirmed its adjusted earnings per share guidance of $3.65 to $3.80. Due to LIFO accounting income recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company increased its earnings per share guidance on a GAAP basis to a range of $3.43 to $3.58. This compares with fiscal 2015 net sales of $969.3 million and earnings per share of $3.54 and, on an adjusted basis, $3.64. 

Interest expense for fiscal 2016 is expected to be approximately $3.5 million compared to $2.5 million in fiscal 2015, reflecting additional borrowings to acquire Southern Tide. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2016 is expected to be approximately 36% compared to 38.4% in fiscal 2015.

The Company’s capital expenditures for fiscal 2016 are expected to be approximately $55 million, primarily related to information technology initiatives, new retail stores and the relocation and remodeling of certain retail locations and a restaurant.

Dividend
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.27 per share payable on October 28, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 14, 2016. The Company has paid dividends every quarter since it became publicly owned in 1960.

All financial results and outlook information included in this release, unless otherwise noted, are from continuing operations and all earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis. The results from the Ben Sherman business, which was sold on July 17, 2015, are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
