Chico's FAS, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Results
• | Delivered fourth quarter EPS of $0.10, up $0.26 from last year |
• | Generated significant fourth quarter gross margin expansion and SG&A leverage |
Fort Myers, FL - February 22, 2017 - Chico’s FAS, Inc. (NYSE: CHS) today announced its financial results for the fiscal 2016 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.
For the thirteen weeks ended January 28, 2017 ("the fourth quarter"), the Company reported net income of $13.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $21.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the thirteen weeks ended January 30, 2016 ("last year's fourth quarter"). The Company reported adjusted net income of $6.2 million, or $0.05 adjusted earnings per diluted share, in last year's fourth quarter. The 2015 fourth quarter adjusted results exclude EPS net charges of $0.21 related to restructuring and strategic charges and Boston Proper, as presented in the accompanying GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation.
For the fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 2017 ("fiscal 2016"), the Company reported net income of $91.2 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the fifty-two weeks ended January 30, 2016 ("fiscal 2015"). The Company reported fiscal 2016 adjusted net income of $106.7 million, or $0.81 adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $105.9 million, or $0.75 adjusted earnings per diluted share, in fiscal 2015. The adjusted results exclude EPS net charges of $0.12 in fiscal 2016 and $0.74 in fiscal 2015 related to restructuring and strategic charges and Boston Proper, as presented in the accompanying GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation.
"We are extremely pleased with our results this quarter," said Shelley Broader, CEO and President. " We drove significant earnings growth, highlighted by gross margin expansion, SG&A leverage, and a substantial increase in operating margin. I am proud of our team and their continuing execution of our strategic initiatives."
Net Sales
For the fourth quarter, net sales were $600.8 million compared to $631.6 million in last year’s fourth quarter. This decrease of 4.9% included $16.8 million related to Boston Proper last year. When excluding Boston Proper from fiscal 2015, net sales decreased 2.3%, primarily reflecting a decline in comparable sales of 2.5%, comprised of reduced transaction count and an increase in average dollar sale. Fourth quarter average unit retail increased primarily due to a reduction in promotional activity.
For fiscal 2016, net sales were $2.5 billion compared to $2.7 billion in fiscal 2015. This decrease of 6.9% included $87.0 million related to Boston Proper last year. When excluding Boston Proper from fiscal 2015, net sales decreased 3.8%, primarily reflecting a decline in comparable sales of 3.7%, comprised of reduced transaction count and lower average dollar sale.

Gross Margin
For the fourth quarter, gross margin was $213.4 million, or 35.5%, compared to $217.4 million, or 34.4%, in last year’s fourth quarter. When excluding Boston Proper from fiscal 2015, gross margin increased 80 basis points in fiscal 2016 compared to gross margin of $213.3 million, or 34.7%, last year. This 80 basis point increase from the 2015 adjusted gross margin rate primarily reflects reduced promotional activity, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the fourth quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $192.0 million, or 31.9%, compared to $217.2 million, or 34.4% last year. When excluding Boston Proper from fiscal 2015, SG&A decreased $13.6 million, or 150 basis points, compared to $205.6 million, or 33.4%, last year. This $13.6 million decrease is primarily due to a reduction in unproductive marketing spend and improvements in store labor productivity, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation.
Income Tax Expense
The fourth quarter fiscal 2016 effective tax rate was 35.4%. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a tax benefit as a result of the impact of restructuring and strategic charges.
Inventories
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2016, inventories totaled $232.4 million compared to $233.8 million last year. The decrease of 0.6% primarily reflected a 4% decrease in on-hand inventory as a result of improved inventory management, partially offset by an increase in in-transit inventory primarily due to product launches scheduled in the first quarter of 2017 and the timing of the Chinese New Year.
Share Repurchase Program
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares for $20.0 million, at an average of $12.81 per share, under its $300.0 million share repurchase program announced in November 2015, with $163.6 million remaining under the program. During fiscal 2016, the Company repurchased a total of 8.1 million shares for $96.4 million, at an average of $11.88 per share.
Changes in Presentation
Commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, store occupancy expenses and shipping expenses, historically presented in SG&A, are being presented in Cost of Goods Sold. The Company believes that these costs represent direct costs associated with the sale of its merchandise, and these changes better align the Company with its peers and better reflect how the business operates. Additionally, shipping revenue, historically presented in SG&A, is being presented in Net Sales. These adjustments were made retrospectively and all periods presented conform with this presentation.

2017 Full-Year Outlook
For fiscal 2017, the Company is anticipating a low single-digit percentage decline in comparable sales as the Company continues to rationalize its promotional activity. The Company expects to achieve gross margin leverage for the year, primarily due to reduced promotional activity and savings from the supply chain initiative launched last year. The Company is planning modest SG&A leverage. Overall, the Company is anticipating steady improvement in operating margin that will advance its progress toward its target of double digit operating margin in 2019.

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 thirteen weeks and fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, 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 should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures exclude results related to non-continuing Boston Proper operations as well as certain strategic charges.
