Initiates Third Quarter Guidance
Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results
Initiates Third Quarter Guidance
Pittsburgh, August 25, 2010 — American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:AEO) today announced net income
for the second quarter ended July 31, 2010 of $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $0.14 per
diluted share last year. Due to the closure of the MARTIN+OSA business, its results of operations
are presented as discontinued operations for all periods and are further discussed below. Income
from continuing operations for the second quarter ended July 31, 2010 was $0.13 per diluted share
compared to income from continuing operations for the second quarter ended August 1, 2009 of $0.18
per diluted share.
“The second quarter was a challenging period, resulting in a miss to our sales and profit plans,”
said Jim O’Donnell, chief executive officer. “Given the inconsistencies in business trends and
unpredictable consumer behavior, we have intensified our actions to improve efficiencies,
streamline our process and strengthen profitability. We are committed to driving change across the
organization and delivering sustainable long-term growth.”
Second Quarter Results — Continuing Operations
Total sales for the 2010 second quarter increased to $652 million, compared to $647 million last
year. Comparable store sales decreased 1%.
Gross profit decreased 6% to $240 million, or 36.8% as a rate to sales, compared to $254 million or
39.3% last year. The merchandise margin decreased 210 basis points due to higher markdowns as a
result of weaker sales performance within key categories of our summer assortment. As a rate to
sales, buying, occupancy and warehousing costs increased 40 basis points primarily due to the
opening of new stores and negative comparable store sales.
Selling, general and administrative expense was $165 million compared to $161 million last year, a
3% increase. The increase was due to the timing of contract-based equity grants and severance
payments. Excluding these items, SG&A was down slightly to last year.
Operating income was $38 million, compared to $60 million last year. The second quarter operating
margin was 5.9%, compared to 9.2% last year.
The company’s quarterly tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter was 30.3%. This
includes the favorable impact of tax incentives related to the company’s distribution center in
Ottawa, Kansas.
1
The company generated income from continuing operations of $26 million, compared to $37 million
last year.
MARTIN+OSA Update — Discontinued Operations
On March 9, 2010, the company announced plans to close its MARTIN+OSA concept, including all 28
stores and the online business. The company completed the closure of MARTIN+OSA during the second
quarter of fiscal 2010. The loss from discontinued operations for each period presented includes
the operating results and closure charges for MARTIN+OSA.
Total cash outflow for the closure charges of MARTIN+OSA, net of associated tax benefits, is
expected to be $14 million, which is at the low end of the company’s initial range of $10 million
to $40 million. The total year-to-date pre-tax closure charges were $44 million, of which $18
million were recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Included in the year-to-date pre-tax
charges are lease-related items of $16 million, severance and other employee-related charges of $8
million, inventory charges of $2 million and a non-cash asset impairment charge of $18 million.
AEO Direct
The company’s direct business includes ae.com, aerie.com and 77kids.com. In the second quarter,
sales decreased 9%. This compares to a 17% sales increase last year which was promotionally
driven.
Corporate Profit Initiative
The company’s corporate profit initiative, aimed at strengthening profitability, is comprehensive
and affects every function and discipline across the organization. Key elements of the plan are as
follows:
| • | Sales and merchandise margin optimization—includes strengthening merchandising strategies, a reduction in inventories, implementation of new merchandise allocation technology and refinement of store presentation models. | ||
| • | Organizational streamlining—involves workforce reductions and process improvements to increase efficiencies and create a more productive environment. | ||
| • | Expense reductions—entails the elimination of projects which were low-value to our customers and continued improvement of non-merchandise buying practices. | ||
| • | Evaluation of stores and facilities—targets 50 to 100 closures of underperforming stores over the next two to five years. |
Inventory
Total merchandise inventory at the end of the second quarter was $349 million compared to $353
million last year. Second quarter ending inventory per foot increased 1%, with clearance inventory
down at the end of the quarter.
2
Looking forward, third quarter average weekly inventory per square foot is planned down in the mid
single-digits.
Capital Expenditures
For the second quarter, capital expenditures were $20 million compared to $38 million last year.
The company continues to expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $90 to $110 million.
Real Estate
In the second quarter, the company opened one AE store, five aerie and five 77kids stores. In
addition, 10 AE store remodels were completed. Store closings in the quarter included five AE
stores and 28 MARTIN+OSA stores. For additional year-to-date and fiscal 2010 information, please
refer to the accompanying real estate table.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Long-term Investments
The company ended the second quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $426 million, as well
as $172 million of investments in auction rate securities, net of impairment.
Share Repurchase
During the second quarter, the company repurchased 10 million shares, bringing the
year-to-date total to 14 million shares for a total of $192 million.
Third Quarter 2010 Outlook
Month-to-date August comparable store sales are up approximately 1%, which is consistent with
our plan for the back-to-school selling period. For the third quarter, the company expects
comparable store sales to be flat to down in the low single-digits. This assumes a more
conservative view of traffic following peak back-to-school shopping. Based upon this view, our
third quarter 2010 earnings from continuing operations guidance is $0.23 to $0.26 per diluted
share. This compares to earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter 2009 of $0.32
per diluted share, which included a tax benefit of $0.07 per diluted share associated with the
repatriation of earnings from Canada. The third quarter 2010 guidance excludes potential
investment security charges.
