Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL) today reported net income of $95
million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the first quarter of Fiscal
2016, which excludes restructuring and non-cash charges associated with
its global brand reorganization. This compared to net income of $162
million, or $1.80 per diluted share, for the first quarter of Fiscal
2015. On a reported basis, net income was $64 million or $0.73 per
diluted share in the first quarter. The Company also announced
significant progress on the transition to the new global brand
management organizational structure.
“We are making the right strategic decisions and investments to support
the future growth of the Company,” said Ralph Lauren, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “I am confident that our new organizational structure
will allow us to make our already powerful brands even stronger, and the
investments we are making today will create significant value for
shareholders over the long term.”
“Our better-than-expected first quarter profitability reflects the
strong progress we have made on our key strategic initiatives,” said
Jacki Nemerov, President and Chief Operating Officer. “The decisive
actions we are taking around our global brand reorganization,
infrastructure investments, e-commerce re-platform, and product pricing
will position the Company for future growth and generate substantial
operating efficiencies.”
First Quarter 2016 Income Statement Review
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the first quarter of Fiscal
2016 were in line with the prior year period on a constant currency
basis, driven by double-digit growth internationally, contribution from
new stores and global e-commerce expansion. Reported net revenues
declined 5% to $1.6 billion in the first quarter. The decline in
reported net revenues included approximately 500 basis points of
negative impact from foreign currency effects.
-
Wholesale Sales. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2016, wholesale
segment sales declined 6% on a constant currency basis. Wholesale
revenue in the first quarter was negatively impacted by our customers’
receipt plans due to an earlier Easter this year which was partially
offset by double-digit constant currency growth in Europe. Combining
4Q15 and 1Q16, which is more reflective of the Spring/Summer season,
global wholesale revenues were up approximately 2% in constant
currency. Reported wholesale segment sales declined 9% to $642 million.
-
Retail Sales. Retail sales increased 3% on a constant currency
basis in the first quarter over the prior year period, driven by
contribution from new stores and e-commerce expansion. Reported retail
sales declined 3% compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 to $935
million, negatively impacted by foreign currency movements.
Consolidated comparable store sales decreased 2% on a constant
currency basis during the first quarter and declined 8% on a reported
basis.
-
Licensing. Licensing revenues of $41 million in the first
quarter were 6% above the prior year period in constant currency and
grew 3% on a reported basis, reflecting higher royalties from
increased sales of Ralph Lauren, Polo and Lauren products worldwide.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of Fiscal
2016 was $969 million and gross profit margin was 59.8%, excluding
restructuring-related non-cash charges of $3 million. Gross profit
margin was 120 basis points lower than the prior year period, reflecting
unfavorable foreign currency effects.
Operating Expenses. Excluding restructuring and related
non-cash charges, operating expenses were $828 million in the first
quarter of Fiscal 2016, 4% above the prior year period. Operating
expense rate of 51.1% increased 430 basis points compared with the first
quarter of Fiscal 2015, due to the timing of revenue receipts and
incremental investments in infrastructure. As reported, operating
expenses in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 were $870 million, which
included $42 million in restructuring and non-cash charges associated
with our global brand reorganization.
Operating Income. Excluding restructuring and related
non-cash charges, operating income was $141 million in the first quarter
of Fiscal 2016. Operating margin of 8.8% was 550 basis points below the
prior year period, which was better than the outlook provided in May due
to disciplined operational management. The lower operating margin was
attributable to fixed expense deleverage, incremental investments in
infrastructure and negative foreign currency effects.
-
Wholesale Operating Income. Excluding non-cash charges
associated with our global brand reorganization, wholesale operating
income was $140 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 compared
with $180 million in the prior year period. Wholesale operating margin
decreased 370 basis points to 21.8% due to a change in customer
receipt plans related to the earlier Easter this year.
-
Retail Operating Income. Excluding non-cash charges associated
with our global brand reorganization, retail operating income was $118
million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 compared with $168 million
in the prior year period. Retail operating margin declined 490 basis
points to 12.6%, due to fixed expense deleverage and negative foreign
currency effects.
-
Licensing Operating Income. Licensing operating income of $36
million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 was in line with the prior
year period.
Net Income and Earnings Per Diluted Share (EPS). Excluding
restructuring and related non-cash charges, net income for the first
quarter of Fiscal 2016 was $95 million, or $1.09 per diluted share. This
compared to net income of $162 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, for
the first quarter of Fiscal 2015. On a reported basis, net income was
$64 million or $0.73 per diluted share in the first quarter.
The Company had an effective tax rate of approximately 30%, excluding
restructuring and related non-cash charges, in the first quarter of
Fiscal 2016, which compared to an effective tax rate of 31% in the first
quarter of Fiscal 2015. On a reported basis, the effective tax rate was
29% in the first quarter.
Update On The Global Brand Reorganization
In the 90 days since the announcement of a new global brand management
organizational structure, the Company established six global brand
groups and filled the global brand president roles, as well as the key
regional and channel positions. The Company is on track to achieve $100
million in annual expense savings associated with the restructure.
The Company expects to incur restructuring and related non-cash charges
of approximately $70-100 million as a result of this reorganization, $45
million of which was taken in the first quarter. This charge encompasses
the cost of separation associated with the workforce reduction as well
as the cost of store and shop adjustments to provide greater clarity of
brand presentation.
First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
The Company ended the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 with $1.2 billion in
cash and investments, or $707 million in cash and investments net of
debt ("net cash"), compared to $1.4 billion in cash and investments and
$1.1 billion in net cash at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2015.
The first quarter ended with inventory of $1.3 billion, which was 8%
above the prior year period.
The Company had $68 million in capital expenditures in first quarter of
Fiscal 2016 compared to $85 million in the prior year period. The
Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of Class A Common
Stock during the first quarter, for $150 million. As of the end of the
first quarter, approximately $430 million remained available for future
share repurchases.
Global Retail Store Network
The Company ended the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 with 467 directly
operated stores, comprised of 140 Ralph Lauren stores, 65 Club Monaco
stores and 262 Polo factory stores. The Company also operated 558
concession shop locations worldwide at the end of the first quarter. In
addition to Company-operated locations, international licensing partners
operated 79 Ralph Lauren stores and 24 dedicated shops, as well as 124
Club Monaco stores and shops at the end of the first quarter.
Fiscal 2016 Outlook
The Company continues to expect consolidated net revenues for Fiscal
2016 to increase by mid-single digits in constant currency. Based on
current exchange rates, foreign currency will have an approximate 450
basis point negative impact on Fiscal 2016 revenue growth. Operating
margin for Fiscal 2016 is still expected to be 180-230 basis points
below the prior year’s level due to negative foreign currency effects.
The full year Fiscal 2016 tax rate is estimated at 30%.
This guidance excludes restructuring and non-cash charges associated
with our global brand reorganization. We expect these charges to be
approximately $70-100 million over the course of Fiscal 2016.
In the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company expects consolidated
net revenues to be up 3-5% in constant currency, and based on current
exchange rates, foreign currency will have an approximate 550 basis
point negative impact on revenue growth. Operating margin for the second
quarter of Fiscal 2016 is expected to be approximately 275-325 basis
points below the comparable prior year period, primarily due to negative
foreign currency effects, the quarterly revenue growth profile and
timing of expense savings initiatives. The second quarter tax rate is
estimated at 30%.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures
relating to restructuring and non-cash charges recorded in connection
with the Company’s global brand reorganization. Included in this
earnings release is a reconciliation between the non-GAAP financial
measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures before and after
these charges. The related tax effects were calculated using the
respective statutory tax rates for each applicable jurisdiction. The
Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, among other things, to
evaluate its operating performance and in order to represent the manner
in which the Company conducts and views its business. The Company
believes that excluding items that are not comparable from period to
period helps investors and others compare operating performance between
two periods. While the Company considers the non-GAAP measures useful in
analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a
substitute for, any presentation included in the consolidated financial
statements prepared in conformity with GAAP and may be different from
non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.
Additionally, since Ralph Lauren Corporation is a global company, the
comparability of its operating results reported in U.S. Dollars is also
affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the
underlying currencies in which it transacts change in value over time
compared to the U.S. Dollar. These rate fluctuations can have a
significant effect on the Company’s reported results. As such, in
addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company’s discussions often
contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated
by translating the current-year and prior-year reported amounts into
comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each
currency. The Company presents constant currency financial information,
which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplement to its reported
operating results. The Company uses constant currency information to
provide a framework to assess how its businesses performed excluding the
effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management
believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate
comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in the
Company’s businesses. The constant currency performance measures should
be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the
Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with
U.S. GAAP.
