Chico's FAS, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2015 Results
Fort Myers, FL - February 25, 2016 - Chico’s FAS, Inc. (NYSE: CHS) today announced its financial results for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 30, 2016.
For the thirteen weeks ended January 30, 2016 ("the fourth quarter"), the Company reported adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.05, compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.07 for the thirteen weeks ended January 31, 2015, and adjusted net income of $6.2 million compared to adjusted net income of $10.9 million in last year’s fourth quarter. The fourth quarter adjusted results exclude EPS charges of $0.21 in 2015 and $0.28 in 2014 primarily related to Boston Proper and restructuring and strategic charges (the "Net Charges"), as presented in the accompanying GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation. Including the impact of the Net Charges, the Company reported a fourth quarter 2015 net loss of $21.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a fourth quarter 2014 net loss of $31.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share.
For the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 ("fiscal 2015"), the Company reported adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.75 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.73 for the fifty-two weeks ended January 31, 2015 ("fiscal 2014"), and adjusted net income of $105.9 million compared to adjusted net income of $111.9 million in fiscal 2014. The adjusted results exclude Net Charges of $0.74 in fiscal 2015 and $0.31 in fiscal 2014, as presented in the accompanying GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation. Including the impact of the Net Charges, the Company reported fiscal 2015 net income of $1.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to fiscal 2014 net income of $64.6 million, or $0.42 per diluted share.
Shelley Broader, President and CEO, said, "While we are disappointed with our fourth quarter sales, we are pleased that our responsiveness and disciplined inventory management in this intensely promotional environment allowed us to achieve positive gross margin leverage and a slight decline in total inventories over last year. Additionally, our business generated significant cash flow during the fiscal year, which in combination with our healthy balance sheet, allowed us to return $334 million to our shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases."
Net Sales
For the fourth quarter, net sales were $627.4 million, a decrease of 4.5% compared to $656.9 million in last year’s fourth quarter, primarily due to a 3.2% decrease in comparable sales and a decline in Boston Proper sales. The 3.2% decrease in comparable sales for the fourth quarter was following a 4.3% increase in last year’s fourth quarter, and reflected a decrease in average dollar sale partially offset by an increase in transaction count.
For fiscal 2015, net sales were $2.642 billion, a decrease of 1.2% compared to $2.675 billion in fiscal 2014, primarily reflecting a 1.5% decrease in comparable sales and a decline in Boston Proper sales, partially offset by the benefit of new stores. Comparable sales decreased 1.5% for 2015 compared to flat comparable sales in 2014, and reflected a decrease in average dollar sale and flat transaction count.

Gross Margin
For the fourth quarter, gross margin was $318.5 million compared to $328.2 million in last year’s fourth quarter. Gross margin was 50.8% of net sales, an 80 basis point increase from last year’s fourth quarter, primarily reflecting improved inventory management in fiscal 2015 and charges related to non-go-forward inventory in fiscal 2014. When excluding Boston Proper in fiscal 2015, gross margin was $314.7 million, or 51.4% of net sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the fourth quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $318.4 million compared to $317.8 million in last year’s fourth quarter. SG&A was 50.8% of net sales, a 240 basis point increase from last year’s fourth quarter, primarily reflecting sales deleverage as well as an increase in marketing and store occupancy costs. When excluding Boston Proper in fiscal 2015, SG&A was $307.0 million, or 50.1% of net sales.
Restructuring and Strategic Charges
For the fourth quarter, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring and strategic charges of $14.6 million, primarily reflecting CEO transition costs and the sale of Boston Proper. On an after-tax basis, the fourth quarter restructuring and strategic charges impact was $9.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.
Effective Tax Rate
Excluding the tax impact of the Net Charges, the 2015 fourth quarter effective tax rate would have been 14.6% compared to 35.4% in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting the impact of favorable tax credits and tax legislation passed in the fourth quarter of 2015 on a lower pre-tax net income.
Inventories
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, total inventories were $233.8 million compared to $235.2 million in last year's fourth quarter. When excluding $10.9 million in Boston Proper inventory in fiscal 2014 and an in-transit inventory increase in fiscal 2015 related to the timing of the Chinese New Year, total inventories decreased 0.3% compared to last year's fourth quarter.
Assets Held for Sale
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company disposed of the Boston Proper direct-to-consumer business. At the end of the fourth quarter, assets held for sale was comprised of $16.5 million in vacant land, which is under contract.
Share Repurchase Program
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company repurchased 3.7 million shares for $40.0 million under its $300.0 million share repurchase program announced in November 2015, with $260.0 million remaining under the program. During fiscal 2015, the company repurchased a total of 18.3 million shares for $290.0 million.

2016 Full-Year Outlook
The fiscal 2016 outlook excludes Boston Proper for comparability purposes. The absence of Boston Proper's operational results are expected to benefit fiscal 2016 operating margin by approximately 100 basis points and earnings per share by approximately $0.09.
For the full year of fiscal 2016, the Company is anticipating flat to slightly negative comparable sales, with more opportunity for positive growth in the back half of the year. The Company expects to achieve merchandise margin expansion and slight SG&A leverage, both of which we expect to be offset by a return to targeted levels of incentive compensation, resulting in flat gross margin and SG&A leverage. We anticipate opening approximately 25 stores while closing an additional 50 stores in our efforts to continue our capital allocation and cost reduction initiatives. Total inventory, excluding the impact of in-transit inventory, is expected to remain consistent with 2015 levels.
2016 Annual Meeting
The Company's 2016 Annual Meeting is currently scheduled to be held on June 16, 2016.

Supplemental Detail on Earnings Per Share Calculation
In accordance with accounting guidance, unvested share-based payment awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities. As a result, such awards are required to be included in the calculation of earnings per common share pursuant to the “two-class” method. For the Company, participating securities are composed entirely of unvested restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that have met their relevant performance criteria.
Earnings per share is determined using the two-class method when it is more dilutive than the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of potential common shares from non-participating securities such as stock options and PSUs. For the fifty-two weeks and thirteen weeks ended January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015, potential common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS to the extent they were antidilutive.
The following unaudited table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share shown on the face of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) (in thousands, except per share amounts):

SEC Regulation G - The Company reports its consolidated financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, to supplement these consolidated financial results, management believes that certain non-GAAP results, which exclude results from non-continuing operations, may provide a more meaningful and comparable measure on which to compare the Company’s results of operations between periods.
