Neiman Marcus Group LTD LLC Reports First Quarter Results

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 6, 2018--Neiman Marcus Group LTD LLC (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended October 27, 2018.

“Our first quarter results, marking our fifth consecutive quarter of comparable revenue increases, demonstrate the ongoing stabilization of our business. We continue to focus on delivering on our plan this year, while also positioning the company for future growth,” said Geoffroy van Raemdonck, Chief Executive Officer, Neiman Marcus Group. “We will continue to drive innovation that enriches the shopping experience, including investing in personalization and omni-selling.”

For the quarter ended October 27, 2018, the Company reported total revenues of $1.10 billion, representing an increase in comparable revenues of 2.8% from the same quarter a year ago. During the quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $28.2 million compared with a net loss of $26.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Adjusted EBITDA, which is described on page 8 of this release, for the first quarter was $135.3 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $122.3 million for the first quarter a year ago.

Other Items. In September 2018, the Company effected an organizational change as a result of which the entities through which the Company operated the MyTheresa business now sit directly under Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., the Company’s ultimate parent entity (the “Distribution”). As a result, assets and liabilities of MyTheresa for periods prior to the Distribution are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 includes the operating results of MyTheresa only for the two months prior to the Distribution and three months of the operating results of MyTheresa are included in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Going forward the financial results of the MyTheresa entities will no longer be included in the Company’s publicly reported financial statements. The change is not expected to meaningfully affect operations for Neiman Marcus or MyTheresa.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted new accounting guidance which resulted in (i) the inclusion of income from the Company’s credit card program within revenues, (ii) the reclassification of components of net benefit costs from selling, general and administrative expenses and (iii) the gross balance sheet presentation of estimates for sales returns and recoverable inventories. Additionally, the Company has revised the previously reported revenues and cost of goods sold to correct the income statement classification related to certain reserves for sales returns and promotional programs. These corrections had no impact on gross margin or net earnings (loss).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In this press release, the Company's financial results are presented both in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA.

NEIMAN MARCUS GROUP LTD LLC
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, it uses Adjusted EBITDA to monitor and evaluate the performance of its business and believes the presentation of this measure enhances investors’ ability to analyze trends in its business and evaluate its performance relative to other companies in its industry. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items management does not believe are representative of the Company’s ongoing performance. This financial metrics is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating earnings or net loss as a measure of operating performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

These limitations include the fact that Adjusted EBITDA: (i) excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to the Company; (ii) excludes certain adjustments for purchase accounting; (iii) does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs, capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (iv) does not reflect the Company’s significant interest expense; and (v) does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s debt. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than it does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

In calculating these financial measures, the Company makes certain adjustments that are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove inaccurate. In addition, in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation. The following table reconciles net loss as reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA (figures may not sum due to rounding):
