-Company Implements a $50M Annualized Cost Reduction Initiative
HINGHAM, MA, December 1, 2011 The Talbots, Inc. (NYSE:TLB) today reported results
for the third quarter and commented on key initiatives and actions as well as fourth quarter
2011.
Third quarter loss from continuing operations was $22.1 million, or $0.32 per share,
compared to last years income from continuing operations of $17.0 million, or $0.24 per
share.
Adjusted third quarter loss from continuing operations was $15.5 million, or $0.22 per
share, excluding special items of $6.6 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to last years
adjusted income from continuing operations of $18.7 million, or $0.27 per share. A full
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP (adjusted) results is included with this release.
Trudy F. Sullivan, Talbots President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, While we
are not satisfied with our performance, we believe the modifications we are making to our
merchandise assortment are better resonating with our core customer, which is consistent
with the results of our most recent consumer research studies. Stronger product combined
with a more aggressive promotional strategy, including the acceleration of a fall seasonal
sale, drove improved customer traffic, conversion and sales trends in each month of the
quarter, generating positive comparable store sales and consolidated comparable sales in
October.
While November consolidated comparable sales decreased approximately 4.0%, we
experienced a strong Black Friday and Cyber Monday and have seen improved customer traffic
and strong conversion thus far in the fourth quarter. Given changes to our promotional
cadence, if we view October and November on a combined basis, consolidated comparable sales
were approximately flat, which is a significant improvement compared to the prior eight
month period. We expect the holiday season to remain challenging and highly promotional, and
we will continue to respond accordingly.
Going forward, we are focused on product execution, aggressive inventory management,
the completion of our new $50 million annualized cost reduction initiative and the ongoing
implementation of our store reimage and store rationalization programs as well as the
expansion of our upscale outlet business, concluded Ms. Sullivan.

Third Quarter 2011 Operating Results:
| Operating loss was $18.1 million, compared to prior years operating income of $19.8 million. | ||
| Adjusted operating loss, excluding special items of $6.6 million, was $11.5 million, a decrease of $33.0 million, compared to prior years adjusted operating income of $21.5 million. | ||
| Net sales decreased 6.6% to $279.5 million, compared to $299.1 million in the same period last year. | ||
| Consolidated comparable sales decreased 4.0%, which includes Internet, catalog and red-line sales. With sales trends improving in each month of the quarter, October consolidated comparable sales increased 3.6%. Consolidated comparable sales exclude stores scheduled to close under the Companys store rationalization plan. | ||
| Store sales decreased 5.1% to $229.8 million, compared to $242.1 million in the same period last year. Comparable store sales decreased 2.4% in the third quarter of 2011, excluding stores scheduled to close under the Companys store rationalization plan. October comparable store sales increased 8.2%. | ||
| Direct marketing sales, including Internet, catalog and red-line, decreased 12.9% in the quarter to $49.7 million, compared to $57.0 million in the same period last year. | ||
| Cost of sales, buying and occupancy as a percent of net sales increased 930 basis points to 66.6% compared to 57.3% last year. This increase was due to an 890 basis point deterioration in merchandise margin, resulting from higher levels of markdown and promotional activity, as well as a 40 basis point deterioration in buying and occupancy costs as a percent of net sales. | ||
| Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of net sales increased 210 basis points to 37.6%, due to negative leverage on lower sales. On a dollar basis SG&A expenses decreased $1.3 million over the prior year period. | ||
| Total inventory increased 13.4% to $209.4 million, compared to $184.7 million in the same period last year, due to lower than anticipated sales volume and the earlier timing of holiday receipts, compared to a year ago. | ||
| Total outstanding debt under our revolving credit facility was $124.9 million, an increase of $56.2 million compared to $68.8 million in the same period last year. The Company ended the quarter with $19.3 million in cash. | ||

| Adjusted loss from continuing operations for the thirty-nine week period ended October 29, 2011, excluding special items of $13.0 million, or $0.19 per share, was $45.6 million, or $0.66 per share, compared to last years adjusted income from continuing operations of $50.2 million, or $0.76 per share. | ||

Key Initiatives Update:
Store Reimage Initiative
The Company is on track to complete approximately 50 refreshes by the end of fiscal
2011. On a life-to-date basis, the Company will have completed the refresh and re-image of
approximately 70 locations, including consolidations and downsizings,
or approximately 19% of its remaining store base. The refreshed locations are mostly premium stores located in
highly visible markets and overall continue to outperform the non-refreshed stores.
Capital and Expense Management
As part of Talbots ongoing plan to maintain close scrutiny of operating costs and pursue
opportunities to lower expenses, the Company is implementing a cost reduction initiative in the
fourth quarter of 2011, which is expected to generate approximately $50 million in annualized cost
savings across all areas of the business to be completed by the end of fiscal 2012. Key components
of this initiative include:
3
| Reduction in marketing spending, including the suspension of national advertising and television campaigns in the near-term; | ||
| Implementation of process efficiencies and structural streamlining across all areas of the business, including a 9% reduction in corporate headcount; | ||
| Rationalization of store payroll through adjustments to the composition of its store workforce and reduction of store payroll hours aided by the implementation of a workforce management system; and | ||
| Reduction in logistics expenses associated with an expected reduction in fiscal 2012 planned inventory commitments. |
This cost reduction initiative excludes 4-wall expense savings generated as a result of
the store rationalization plan and focuses on continued investments in those areas of the
business expected to generate proven returns and drive customer reactivation, retention and
engagement.
Additionally, the Company expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2012 to be approximately
$30 million as it continues with investments in its key strategic initiatives, specifically
expansion of its upscale outlet business, store reimage and upgrades of certain IT systems. The
Company continues to expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2011 to be approximately $47
million. These actions have been implemented as part of the Companys overall plan to enhance
its working capital, improve its cost structure and increase its financial flexibility.
Store Rationalization Plan
The Company closed 18 locations, including 16 full stores, during the third quarter of
fiscal 2011 and has closed 35 locations, including 31 full stores, in the first nine months
of the fiscal year as part of its accelerated store rationalization plan. The Company
expects to close approximately 110 locations in total, including 15 to 20 consolidations,
through fiscal 2013. Approximately 83 locations, including consolidations, are expected to
close in fiscal 2011, approximately 25 locations are planned for closure in fiscal 2012 and
approximately two locations are planned to close in fiscal 2013. The Company will look to
close additional stores opportunistically.
The locations that have closed or are planned for closure contributed approximately
$17.9 million in sales and $6.0 million in operating loss in the third quarter of 2011,
including $3.8 million in restructuring charges and $0.1 million in impairment of store
assets. Last years third quarter contribution in sales was approximately $24.6 million and
approximately $0.9 million in operating income, including $0.4 million in impairment of
store assets. There were no restructuring charges attributable to these locations in the
third quarter of 2010.
4
Fourth Quarter 2011 Comments
Fourth quarter sales through the end of November are down approximately 5.4% compared
to the same period last year. The Company expects high levels of promotional and markdown
activity to continue throughout the fourth quarter, resulting in an expected increase in
cost of sales, buying and occupancy as a percent of net sales of approximately 600 to 800
basis points compared to the same period last year. After adjusting for the benefit of
approximately $13 million in a one-time cumulative adjustment to gift card breakage income
and the reversal of incentive compensation expense recorded in the fourth quarter last year,
SG&A expenses are expected to be approximately flat compared to the prior year period.
The above outlook is based on the Companys internal assumptions and estimates, is
subject to its accompanying forward-looking statement and is not a guarantee of future
performance or financial condition.
