Columbus, Ohio - August 23, 2017 - Express, Inc. (NYSE: EXPR), a specialty retail apparel company, announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2017. These results, which cover the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2017, are compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2016.
David Kornberg, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, stated: “Comparable sales and earnings were at the top end of our guidance, as our key initiatives gained further traction. Our e-commerce performance was outstanding, increasing 28% over last year, and store comps showed further sequential improvement.”
Mr. Kornberg continued, "As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we are optimistic about our ability to drive further improved performance in a transforming retail industry. We expect the momentum of our initiatives to continue to build and contribute more meaningfully. Our marketing efforts are resulting in improved trends in engagement and we believe they will drive increased customer acquisition and retention. We expect e-commerce sales growth to remain solid and store performance to sequentially improve, driven in part by our expanded omni-channel capabilities. We remain focused on managing our costs and see clear opportunities to enhance the overall efficiency of our business. Our balance sheet remains strong with more than $170 million in cash and no debt, and we continue to expect to generate solid cash flow. Our confidence in our strategy and conviction in our long-term opportunity remains resolute and we are committed to driving shareholder value.”
Second Quarter 2017 Operating Results:
• | Net sales decreased 5% to $478.5 million from $504.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. |
• | Comparable sales (including e-commerce sales) decreased 4%, compared to an 8% decrease in the second quarter of 2016. |
• | E-commerce sales increased 28% year over year to $90.0 million. |
• | Merchandise margin declined by 120 basis points, driven by the highly promotional environment and the impact of exiting Canada. Buying and occupancy as a percentage of net sales rose by 120 basis points. In combination, this resulted in a 240 basis point decline in gross margin, representing 27.5% of net sales compared to 29.9% in last year’s second quarter. |
• | Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $131.7 million versus $133.2 million in last year's second quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased by 110 basis points year over year to 27.5%. |
• | Restructuring costs of $16.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 represent costs incurred related to the exit of Canada. |
• | Operating loss was $15.9 million and includes a negative $17.6 million impact related to the exit of Canada, consisting of $16.3 million in restructuring costs and $1.3 million related to an inventory adjustment. This compares to operating income of $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. |
• | Income tax benefit was $4.3 million, at an effective tax rate of 26.5%, compared to income tax expense of $7.0 million, at an effective tax rate of 40.8% in last year's second quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 includes an income tax benefit of $5.1 million related to the exit of Canada. |
• | Net loss was $11.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, and includes a net negative $0.16 per diluted share impact related to the exit of Canada. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.01. This compares to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. |
• | Real estate activity for the second quarter of 2017 is presented in Schedule 5. |

• | Inventory was $261.2 million compared to $256.6 million at the end of the prior year’s second quarter, a 2% increase driven primarily by support for e-commerce growth and retail-to-outlet conversions that occurred late in the second quarter. |

Supplemental Information - Consolidated Statements of Income
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
The Company supplements the reporting of its financial information determined under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional useful information to assist stockholders in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. Management believes adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are important indicators of the Company's business performance because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company's underlying operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in the business. In addition, adjusted operating income is used as a performance measure in the Company's seasonal cash incentive compensation program and adjusted diluted earnings per share is used as a performance measure in the Company's executive compensation program for purposes of determining the number of equity awards that are ultimately earned. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported operating income, reported net income, or reported diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing the Company's operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the below reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company's business. Management strongly encourages investors and stockholders to review the Company's financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
