American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:AEO) today reported EPS from
continuing operations of $0.36 for the fourth quarter ended January 31,
2015, compared to adjusted EPS of $0.27 for the comparable quarter last
year, an increase of 33%.
The company also announced adjusted EPS from continuing operations of
$0.63 for the year ended January 31, 2015, compared to adjusted EPS of
$0.74 for the year ended February 1, 2014, a 15% decrease. GAAP EPS of
$0.46 includes restructuring and asset impairment charges of ($0.17) per
share, which are outlined in the accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP
reconciliations. This represents 7% growth from GAAP EPS of $0.43 last
year. The EPS figures refer to diluted earnings per share.
Jay Schottenstein, Interim CEO commented, “After a tough start to fiscal
2014, I’m pleased to see our initiatives and business priorities begin
to deliver results. We achieved a solid fourth quarter, exceeding our
expectations. The team executed well through an incredibly challenging
macro environment. Improved merchandise assortments, combined with a
better customer experience, drove strengthened sales trends and we
successfully reduced promotions.”
The company provided first quarter EPS guidance of $0.09 to $0.12
compared to EPS of $0.02 last year.
Jay Schottenstein continued, “We’re encouraged to see momentum continue
into the spring season. We have significant opportunity for earnings
recovery. While we fully recognize the volatility within our sector, I
believe we are very well positioned, with a top notch leadership team
focused on the right priorities to strengthen our business and deliver
profitable growth and returns to shareholders.”
Fourth Quarter 2014 Results
The following discussion is
based on Non-GAAP results, as presented in the accompanying GAAP to
Non-GAAP reconciliation.
-
Total net revenue increased 3% to $1.07 billion from $1.04 billion
last year.
-
Consolidated comparable sales were flat.
-
Gross profit increased 13% to $376 million and rose 320 basis points
to 35.1% as a rate to revenue. The margin improvement was driven
primarily by reduced markdowns and was partially offset by 90 basis
points of rent deleverage, combined with higher delivery costs related
to an increase in direct orders, including orders fulfilled through
our buy online ship from store program.
-
Selling, general and administrative expense of $227 million increased
5% from last year and deleveraged 50 basis points to 21.2% as a rate
to revenue. Planned investments in marketing and incentive
compensation led to the increase and were partially offset by
reductions in overhead and miscellaneous expenses.
-
Operating income increased 31% to $112 million. The operating margin
expanded 230 basis points to 10.5% as a rate to revenue.
-
EPS from continuing operations of $0.36 compares to adjusted EPS of
$0.27 last year, a 33% increase.
Fiscal Year 2014 Results
The following discussion is based
on Non-GAAP results, as presented in the accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP
reconciliation.
-
Total net revenue decreased 1% to $3.28 billion from $3.31 billion
last year. Consolidated comparable sales decreased 5% over the same
period last year.
-
Gross profit increased 1% to $1.15 billion and increased 60 basis
points to 35.2% as a rate to revenue, primarily as a result of lower
markdowns, which were offset by the deleverage of rent on negative
comparable sales.
-
Selling, general and administrative expense of $806 million increased
2%, and deleveraged 70 basis points to 24.6% as a rate to revenue. The
increase resulted primarily from investments in marketing and
incentive costs, which were partially offset by reductions in
corporate overhead and variable expenses.
-
Operating income decreased 11% to $207 million. The operating margin
decreased 80 basis points to 6.3%.
-
Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.63 compares to adjusted
EPS of $0.74 last year, a 15% decrease.
Discontinued Operations
In connection with the exit of the
77kids business in Fiscal 2012, the Company became secondarily liable
for obligations under the lease agreements for 21 store leases assumed
by the third party purchaser. In Fiscal 2014, the third party purchaser
did not fulfill its obligations under the leases. As a result, the
Company has incurred an after-tax charge of $8.5 million, net of letter
of credit proceeds provided by the purchaser, to terminate the remaining
store leases. The cash outflow for the termination costs are expected to
be paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, ending the Company’s
obligation under the agreement.
Inventory
Total merchandise inventories at the end of the
fourth quarter declined 4% to $279 million compared to $292 million last
year. At cost per foot, inventory decreased 5%. First quarter 2015
ending inventory at cost per foot is expected to be down in the low
single-digits.
Capital Expenditures
In 2014, capital expenditures totaled
$245 million, which was above earlier expectations due in part to
incremental strategic omni-channel investments, including retail
fulfillment in the Hazleton distribution center, as well as the pilot of
the Oracle point of sale system. The company expects capital
expenditures to be approximately $150 million in 2015. This includes the
chain-wide roll-out of the point of sale system, supporting technologies
and the completion of our new fulfillment center, as well as new and
remodeled store investments.
Real Estate
In the quarter, the company opened 6 new stores
consisting of the following:
-
3 stores in the United Kingdom,
-
2 stores in Mexico, and
-
1 store in Asia.
The company closed 42 locations, including 39 AE and 3 aerie stores.
Five international licensed stores opened during the quarter, including
the first stores in Indonesia and Thailand, and the company ended the
year with 99 licensed stores in 16 countries. For additional fourth
quarter 2014 actual and fiscal 2015 projected real estate information,
see the accompanying table.
Cash and Investments
The company ended the quarter with
total cash and investments of $411 million compared to $429 million last
year.
First Quarter Outlook
Based on a mid single digit
increase in comparable sales, management expects first quarter 2015 EPS
to be approximately $0.09 to $0.12, which includes the expected negative
impact of $0.02 per share due to the West Coast port slowdown. This
guidance excludes potential asset impairment and restructuring charges,
and compares to EPS of $0.02 last year.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes information on
non-GAAP financial measures (“non-GAAP” or “adjusted”), including
earnings per share information and the consolidated results of
operations excluding non-GAAP items. These financial measures are not
based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are not necessarily
comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The company
