ABERCROMBIE & FITCH REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
New Albany, Ohio, August 30, 2016: Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) today reported a GAAP net loss per diluted share of $0.19 for the second quarter ended July 30, 2016, compared to a GAAP net loss per diluted share of $0.01 for the second quarter last year. Excluding certain items, the company reported an adjusted non-GAAP net loss per diluted share of $0.25 for the second quarter, compared to adjusted non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.12 last year. The results for the quarter reflect an adverse impact related to year-over-year changes in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $0.08 per diluted share.
A description of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and a schedule reconciling GAAP financial measures to adjusted non-GAAP financial measures accompanies this release.
Arthur Martinez, Executive Chairman, said:
"Our results for the quarter were largely in line with the expectations we set on last quarter's earnings call. Flagship and tourist locations continued to account for the vast majority of the comparable sales decline as traffic remained a significant headwind. We were encouraged, however, by strong growth in the direct-to-consumer business, both domestically and internationally, and by a comparable sales recovery in the Hollister European business, including in the U.K. In addition, conversion trends were positive in both channels, across brand and geography. Overall, we remained disciplined as gross margin rate was substantially maintained on a constant currency basis and expense and inventory were tightly controlled.
This quarter we began to roll out programs that reflect our new brand positions for both Abercrombie and Hollister. We look forward to strengthening our brands as we express these positionings across all customer touch points.
As we look to the rest of the year, we now expect flagship and tourist locations will continue to weigh on the business. Recognizing we are in a challenging environment, we are confident, however, that we are focusing on the right priorities and we expect to see traction in our business as we introduce new product and invest in marketing to drive awareness and relevance for our brands.”
Second Quarter Sales Results
Net sales for the second quarter of $783.2 million were down 4% versus last year, with comparable sales for the second quarter down 4%.

Additional Second Quarter Results Commentary
The gross profit rate for the second quarter was 60.9%, 140 basis points lower than last year. Excluding certain items last year, the gross profit rate decreased 20 basis points on a constant currency basis, primarily due to higher average unit costs, partially offset by higher average unit retails.
Stores and distribution expense for the second quarter was $382.9 million, down from $389.2 million last year. Excluding certain items last year, stores and distribution expense decreased $4.9 million, primarily due to the realization of savings on lower sales and expense reduction efforts, partially offset by higher direct-to-consumer expense.
Marketing, general and administrative expense for the second quarter was $111.7 million, down from $119.8 million last year. Excluding certain items last year, marketing, general and administrative expense increased $7.6 million, primarily due to higher marketing and other expenses.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook
For fiscal 2016, the company now expects:
• | Comparable sales to remain challenging through the second half of the year, with a disproportionate effect from flagship and tourist locations |
• | Adverse effects from foreign currency on sales of approximately $25 million and on operating income of approximately $20 million, with the greatest impact in the third quarter |
• | A gross margin rate flat to last year's adjusted non-GAAP rate of 61.9%, but down in the third quarter due to adverse effects from foreign currency |
• | Operating expense dollars to be down slightly to last year's adjusted non-GAAP operating expense, with investments in marketing, skewed towards the third quarter, offset by savings from expense reduction efforts |
• | An effective tax rate in the mid-to-upper 30s |
• | Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately $5 million |
2
• | A weighted average diluted share count of approximately 68 million shares, excluding the effect of potential share buybacks |
The company expects capital expenditures to be at the low end of the range of $150 million to $175 million for the full year. The company plans to open approximately 15 new stores in fiscal 2016, including approximately 10 in international markets, primarily China, and approximately five in the U.S. The company plans to open six new outlet stores, primarily in the U.S. In addition, the company anticipates closing up to 60 stores in the U.S. during the fiscal year through natural lease expirations.
Excluded from the company's outlook are the effects of certain potential items, including, but not limited to, insurance recoveries, impairments and other items.

REPORTING AND USE OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
The company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release are useful to investors as they provide the ability to measure the company’s operating performance as compared to historical periods excluding the effect of certain items that the company believes do not reflect its future operating outlook. Management used these non-GAAP financial measures during the periods presented to assess the company's performance, to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to develop expectations for future operating performance. In addition, the company provides certain financial information on a constant currency basis to enhance investors' understanding of underlying business trends and operating performance. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current period exchange rates to prior year results and is net of the year-over-year impact from hedging. Non-GAAP financial measures should be used in conjunction with, not as an alternative to, the company's GAAP financial results.
