New York, NY — February 25, 2014 — Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. (NYSE:FNP) today announced results for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the fourth quarter of 2013 on a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations, which includes the Juicy Couture Brand and excludes the Lucky Brand, was $161 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $52 million, or $0.42 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. Lucky Brand Jeans results are now reported as discontinued operations, after successfully closing on that business on February 3, 2014.

 

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013, which includes Juicy Couture and excludes Lucky Brand, were $427 million, an increase of $78 million, or 22.3%, from the comparable 2012 period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $0.15, compared to $0.04 for the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, net of foreign currency transaction adjustments, which includes Juicy Couture and excludes Lucky Brand, was $65 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $48 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

For the full year of 2013, the Company recorded income from continuing operations, which includes Juicy Couture and excludes Lucky Brand, of $74 million, or $0.60 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations for the full year of 2012 of ($70) million, or ($0.64) per share. Adjusted diluted loss per share from continuing operations in the full year of 2013 was ($0.15), compared to ($0.31) in the full year of 2012. Net sales for the full year of 2013 were $1.265 billion, an increase of $222 million, or 21.2 %, from the comparable 2012 period.

 

William L. McComb, Chief Executive Officer of Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. said: “Full year 2013 Kate Spade adjusted brand EBITDA was $130 million, compared to $95 million in 2012, reflecting a sizeable 37.4% increase. Inclusive of the results of Lucky Brand, which was still part of our brand portfolio in the fourth quarter, but excluding the results of Juicy Couture, full year 2013 adjusted EBITDA was $126 million, consistent with our recently provided guidance. As discussed in our early January pre-announcement, Kate Spade performed well in a very promotional environment in the fourth quarter, delivering direct to consumer comparable sales growth of 30%. We also continue to be pleased with the wind down of our Juicy Couture operations, which is proceeding according to plan.”

 



 

Mr. McComb concluded: “Today, I formally hand over the CEO role to Craig Leavitt. I leave the Company very confident about its future as this new senior management team of Craig, Chief Creative Officer Deborah Lloyd and President and COO George Carrara is well positioned to deliver on Kate Spade’s significant growth opportunities. We expect that this team will drive Kate Spade to reach its full potential and we are optimistic about the brand’s ability to deliver sizeable growth in 2014 and beyond. Reflecting this exciting time, the Company’s name changes tomorrow to Kate Spade & Company and our stock begins trading under the new ticker (NYSE:KATE).”

 

Craig A. Leavitt, Chief Executive Officer of Kate Spade & Company, Inc. said: “Bill’s vision and leadership have helped fuel the rapid growth of the Kate Spade brand.  Last year, we marked the brand’s 20th anniversary, and we look forward to our brand’s next chapter, especially the next five years, which will be powered by the resources and focus coming out of our monobrand focus. We face many growth opportunities now as Kate Spade & Company across channels of distribution, product categories and geographies.  This momentum is underscored by our recently announced acquisition of our Southeast Asia distributor relationship, enabling us to accelerate growth in this key market.”

 

Mr. Leavitt concluded: “Even with all of the bad weather, I’m happy with the business trends in the first quarter-to-date, which are consistent overall with our expectations. We are seeing continued strong performance in the key handbag/small leather goods category, in particular. We can also re-affirm our previously guided range of $115 to $125 million for adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2014, which includes Kate Spade, the Adelington Design Group and Corporate.”

 

The adjusted results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013 and 2012, as well as forward-looking targets, exclude the impact of expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities, acquisition related costs, impairment of intangible assets, losses on extinguishment of debt, impairment of cost investment, gain on sales of trademarks, gain on acquisition of subsidiary and interest expense charges related to a multi-employer pension withdrawal liability. The Company believes that the adjusted results for such periods represent a more meaningful presentation of its historical operations and financial performance since these results provide period to period comparisons that are consistent and more easily understood. The attached tables, captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information,” provide a full reconciliation of actual results to the adjusted results. We present Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude income tax provision (benefit), interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, net, losses on extinguishment of debt, gain on sales of trademarks, gain on acquisition of subsidiary, expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities, acquisition related costs, non-cash impairment charges, losses on asset disposals and non-cash share-based compensation expense. We also present Adjusted EBITDA, net of foreign currency transaction adjustments, which is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unrealized and certain realized foreign currency transaction adjustments, net. We present the above-described Adjusted EBITDA measures because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Our CEO evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on Segment Adjusted EBITDA.  Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) charges due to streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities and acquisition related costs; and (iii) losses on asset disposals and impairments. Unallocated Corporate costs also exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense.  Therefore, Segment Adjusted EBITDA does not include Corporate costs associated with the following functions: corporate finance, investor relations, communications, legal, human resources and information technology shared services and costs of executive offices and corporate facilities, which are included in Unallocated Corporate costs. We do not allocate amounts reported below Operating income (loss) to our reportable segments, other than equity income (loss) in equity method investees. Our definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

Overall Results

 

Net sales from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $427 million, an increase of $78 million, or 22.3% from the fourth quarter of 2012, reflecting an increase in sales in our Kate Spade segment, partially offset by declines in sales in our Juicy Couture and Adelington Design Group segments. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2012 included $26 million and $16 million of Kate Spade Japan net sales, respectively.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 56.8% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 56.2% in the comparable 2012 period, primarily reflecting increased gross profit in our Kate Spade segment, which runs at a higher gross profit rate than the Company average, partially offset by decreased gross profit rates in our Kate Spade and Juicy Couture segments.

 

Selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $78 million, or 44.1%, to $254 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in SG&A reflected the following:

 

·                  A $55 million increase in expenses associated with our streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities and acquisition related costs;

·                  A $34 million increase in SG&A in our Kate Spade segment, primarily related to direct-to-consumer expansion reflecting: (i) increased rent and other store operating expenses; (ii) increased professional fees; and (iii) increased e-commerce fees and advertising expenses. The increase also included incremental SG&A associated with Kate Spade Japan and the launch of Kate Spade Saturday; and

·                  An $11 million net decrease in costs in our Juicy Couture and Adelington Design Group segments and unallocated Corporate costs.

 

SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 59.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 50.5% in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

3



 

Impairment of Intangible Assets was ($2) million in the fourth quarter of 2013, reflecting a non-cash impairment charge in our Juicy Couture segment related to the decreased use of merchandising rights for such brand.

 

Operating Loss was ($13) million ((3.1%) of net sales) in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to operating income of $20 million (5.7% of net sales) in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Other Income (Expense), net was ($2) million in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting (i) foreign currency transaction gains and losses and (ii) equity in (losses) earnings of our investments in equity investees.

 

Gain on Acquisition of Subsidiary was $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, resulting from the adjustment of our pre-existing 49.0% interest in Kate Spade Japan (KSJ) to estimated fair value, as we converted KSJ from its prior joint venture structure to a wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Gain on Sales of Trademarks, Net was $179 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, resulting from the sale of the Juicy Couture intellectual property.

 

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt was ($1) million in the fourth quarter of 2012 resulting from the conversion of $12 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Notes into 3 million shares of our common stock.

 

Interest expense, net was $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $14 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting a $1 million decrease in each of interest expense related to the Convertible Notes, the Senior Notes and amortization of deferred financing fees.

 

Benefit for Income Taxes was $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily resulting from a decrease in deferred tax liabilities associated with the Juicy trademark divestiture, and refunds received.  The total benefit recorded in each of the fourth quarters of 2013 and 2012 was partially offset by an increase in the accrual for interest related to uncertain tax positions.

 

Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $161 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared to income of $52 million, or $0.42 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $0.15, compared to $0.04 in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $185 million, inclusive of income related to discontinued operations of $24 million, compared to net income of $57 million, inclusive of income related to discontinued operations of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net income per diluted share was $1.48 in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $0.47 in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

 

Accounts Receivable decreased $32 million, or 26.3%, at year-end 2013 compared to year-end 2012, primarily due to the presentation of Lucky Brand accounts receivable as held for sale at year- end 2013 and decreased wholesale sales in our Juicy Couture and Adelington Design Group segments, partially offset by increased wholesale sales in our Kate Spade segment.

 

4



 

Inventories decreased $36 million, or 16.3% at year-end 2013 compared to year-end 2012, primarily due to the presentation of Lucky Brand inventory as held for sale at year-end 2013 and a decrease in Juicy Couture inventory, partially offset by an increase in Kate Spade inventory to support growth initiatives.

 

Cash flow used in continuing operating activities for the last twelve months was ($5) million, including a $20 million advance refunded to JCPenney in February 2013.

 

Debt outstanding decreased to $394 million at year-end 2013 compared to $406 million at year-end 2012. We ended 2013 with $130 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $59 million at the end of 2012. The $83 million decrease in our net debt position over the last twelve months primarily reflected: (i) the receipt of net proceeds of $193 million from the dispositions of the Juicy Couture intellectual property and our investment in Mexx; (ii) the funding of $81 million of capital and in-store shop expenditures over the last 12 months; (iii) the use of $52 million in cash from discontinued operations over the past 12 months; (iv) the receipt of aggregate net proceeds of $29 million from the sale-leaseback of our Ohio Facility and North Bergen, NJ office; and (v) the conversion of $20 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Notes into 5.6 million shares of our common stock.

(a)                Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) charges due to streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities and acquisition related costs; and (iii) losses on asset disposals and impairments.  Segment Adjusted EBITDA does not include Corporate expenses associated with the following functions: corporate finance, investor relations, communications, legal, human resources and information technology shared services and costs of executive offices and corporate facilities, which are included in Unallocated Corporate costs. The Company does not allocate amounts reported below Operating loss to its reportable segments, other than equity income (loss) in equity method investees. The Segment Adjusted EBITDA associated with the LUCKY BRAND segment represents expenses related principally to distribution functions that were included in the LUCKY BRAND historical results, but are not directly attributable to LUCKY BRAND and therefore, have not been included in discontinued operations. Refer to the table entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information” for further information.

(b)                Amounts include equity in the losses of equity method investees of $196 and $771 for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively and $1,179 and $1,245 for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

(c)                   Represents interest expense related to a multi-employer pension withdrawal liability, which is payable over four years.

(d)                  Excludes interest expense of $173, $231, $742 and $1,033 for the three and twelve months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, related to a multi-employer pension withdrawal liability, which is payable over four years.

(e)                   Reflects a normalized tax rate based on estimated adjusted pretax income (loss).

(f)                    Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 are based on 125,219 and 123,887 shares outstanding, respectively. As the Company incurred an adjusted loss from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, all potentially dilutive shares are antidilutive. As such, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal for such periods.
