Gordmans Stores, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

Fourth Quarter Net Sales Increased 1.9%;

Fourth Quarter Diluted EPS of $0.12 Exceeded Guidance Range of $0.05 - $0.08

Omaha, Nebraska (March 19, 2015) – Gordmans Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMAN), an Omaha-based apparel and home décor retailer, today announced results for its fourth quarter (thirteen weeks) and fiscal year (fifty-two weeks) ended January 31, 2015.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

Fiscal Year 2014 Highlights

“Our fourth quarter earnings per share exceeded our guidance range due to sales near the high end of guidance, combined with favorable operating expense performance,” commented Andy Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Net sales for the fourth quarter increased 1.9% while comparable store sales decreased 2.7%, which represents a significant improvement from our comparable store sales trend entering the fourth quarter. We ended the year with inventories in great shape from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. Our less than 60 day aged inventory was 14 percentage points better than last year and comparable store inventory was down 10% to last year. In addition, we significantly improved our financial health by increasing our free cash flow by $30 million, decreasing working capital by 56% and reducing outstanding debt by 21%.”

Hall continued, “While we are pleased with our fourth quarter progress, we still have significant improvement to make to return the Company to consistent positive comparable store sales growth and profitability. We continue to work on a number of strategic initiatives, including the mid-year launch of ecommerce, modifying our marketing focus to leverage our guest loyalty program, optimizing our supply chain and continuing to expand our store base.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2015 increased 1.9% to $203.9 million from $200.0 million for the fourth quarter ended February 1, 2014. Comparable store sales decreased by 2.7%.

Gross profit increased by 0.2% to $76.8 million, or 37.7% of net sales, from $76.7 million, or 38.3% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The 65 basis point reduction in gross margin was due to a lower initial mark-up and higher markdowns.

Selling, general and administrative costs were $72.0 million, or 35.3% of net sales, compared to $71.3 million, or 35.6% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. As a percentage of net sales, the decrease in expenses was primarily attributable to lower marketing expenses and lower store payroll expenses, partially offset by labor and cost inefficiencies associated with the new distribution center and increased depreciation expense.

Interest expense decreased from $1.4 million to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 due to a paydown of a portion of our senior term loan in November 2014.

Income tax expense was $1.5 million compared to $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The effective rate for 2013 differed from the federal and state statutory rates due to federal tax credits and a lower federal tax bracket based on the Company’s taxable income.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $2.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Fiscal Year 2014 Financial Results

Net sales for the fifty-two week fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 increased 2.4% to $634.6 million compared to net sales of $619.6 million for the fifty-two week fiscal year ended February 1, 2014. Comparable store sales for fiscal year 2014 decreased 4.8%. Gross profit increased by 0.9% to $264.3 million, or 41.7% of net sales, from $261.9 million, or 42.3% of net sales, in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative costs were $265.3 million, or 41.8% of net sales, compared to $247.1 million, or 39.9% of net sales, in the prior year and interest expense was $5.0 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior year. The net loss for fiscal year 2014 was $3.5 million, or a loss of $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2013.

New Stores

In 2014, the Company opened six new stores, entered two new states, Michigan and Texas, and relocated an existing store. The Company also closed two existing stores and ended the year operating 97 stores. In 2015, the Company plans to open 6 new stores, two of which opened in the Cleveland, OH MSA earlier this month. The Company also plans to close one store later this year when the lease term expires.

Amended Credit Agreements

On November 14, 2014, the Company amended its $45 million senior term loan and its $80 million revolving credit facility and paid down $15 million on its senior term loan using borrowings from the revolving line of credit facility. The Company continues to maintain significant excess availability on its revolving line of credit and expects interest savings as a result of paying down a portion of the term loan to be approximately $0.8 million in fiscal 2015.

First Quarter Outlook

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company expects net sales to be between $144 and $148 million, which reflects a flat to low-single digit comparable store sales decrease. The Company expects gross profit margin to be consistent with last year as it continues its strategy of accelerating permanent markdowns to clear slower moving seasonal merchandise versus last year’s cadence. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to leverage in the first quarter. The Company projects a diluted loss per share in the range of ($0.06) to ($0.02). The weighted average diluted share count is expected to be approximately 19.4 million.
