Fiscal Year 2016 Selected Financial Results (52 weeks ended January 28, 2017)

Anthony M. Romano, Chief Executive Officer & President, stated, “In a challenging year that saw several headwinds pressure sales, we achieved increased adjusted EBITDA before other charges reflecting improvement in gross profit margin and a reduction in expenses. While the year included several headwinds, including business exits from Sears and Gordmans, certain Macy’s store closures, Kohl’s business wind down, mall traffic declines, and cancelled fourth quarter orders due to the Hanjin bankruptcy, we continued to advance our key strategies. To this end, we implemented our product allocation tool, which will assist us to increase sales productivity and reduce markdowns, and we introduced Demandware to support our new web platform that launched early in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We also evolved our merchandising and marketing strategies to more closely align with the Millennial consumer. We remain confident that with the completion of our merger with Orchestra-Prémaman, we will begin to benefit from both the groundwork we laid in 2016 and the synergies we will experience with our new partners. We expect these efforts to enable us to deliver improved operating performance in fiscal 2017 and beyond.”

Other Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Information

To provide the Company with flexibility as it moves toward the closing of the Orchestra-Prémaman merger and beyond, on April 7, 2017 the Company’s Term Loan and Credit Facility were amended to allow the Company to enter into certain equipment financing arrangements, on the condition that a portion of the proceeds be used to make a prepayment against the Term Loan. The Term Loan amendment also deletes the covenant requiring maintenance of a minimum level of Consolidated EBITDA and provides for an additional reserve of $5.0 million against availability under the Credit Facility that will be reduced dollar for dollar for prepayments of the Term Loan in accordance with the amendment.

Real Estate and Partnerships

As previously announced, the Company’s leased department relationship with Gordmans ended in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, and the Company discontinued its Two Hearts^® Maternity by Destination Maternity^® line, ending its relationship with Sears in June 2016. Additionally, the Company phased out production of its Oh Baby by Motherhood^® line during fiscal 2016 after being informed that Kohl’s had elected to scale back, and ultimately discontinue, its exclusive license with the Company for this line. Our license agreement with Kohl’s ended in February 2017. These actions allowed the Company to direct resources to the highest return opportunities and further optimize its footprint while reducing costs.

Capital Allocation

The Company remains focused on implementing key systems projects to have the tools needed to drive sustained profitable growth. To this end, in fiscal 2016 the Company completed the implementation of a new best-in-class product allocation tool, and in early fiscal 2017, completed a re-platforming of each of its e-commerce sites through integration with a best-in-class enterprise cloud commerce solution.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying financial tables contain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the SEC’s Regulation G, including 1) adjusted net loss, 2) adjusted net loss per share - diluted, 3) Adjusted EBITDA, 4) Adjusted EBITDA before other charges, 5) Adjusted EBITDA margin, and 6) Adjusted EBITDA margin before other charges. In the accompanying financial tables, the Company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the Company’s results of operations and/or financial position to both investors and management. Each non-GAAP financial measure is provided because management believes it is an important measure of financial performance used in the retail industry to measure operating results, to determine the value of companies within the industry and to define standards for borrowing from institutional lenders. The Company uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures as a measure of the performance of the Company. In addition, certain of the Company’s cash and equity incentive compensation plans are based on the Company’s level of achievement of Adjusted EBITDA before other charges. The Company provides these various non-GAAP financial measures to investors to assist them in performing their analysis of its historical operating results. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures reflects a measure of the Company’s operating results before consideration of certain charges and consequently, none of these measures should be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or operating income (loss) as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company may calculate each of these non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies.
