Vince Holding Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results
NEW YORK, New York – December 13, 2018 – Vince Holding Corp. (NYSE:VNCE), a leading global luxury apparel and accessories brand (“Vince” or the “Company”), today reported unaudited results for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 ended November 3, 2018.
Highlights for the third quarter ended November 3, 2018:
|
|
• |
Net sales increased 5.6% to $83.5 million |
|
|
• |
Direct-to-Consumer sales increased 17.1%; comparable sales grew 14.1% |
|
|
• |
Gross margin rate increased 250 basis points to 48.9% |
|
|
• |
Operating income increased 68.9% to $9.0 million |
|
|
• |
Net income was $6.8 million or $0.57 per diluted share compared to net income $3.5 million or $0.41 per diluted share |
Brendan Hoffman, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter results reflect continued strength across several areas of our business. Operating income for the quarter increased by $3.7 million and for the year-to-date period, operating results improved by $13.9 million. For the third quarter, our retail segment delivered a 14.1% comp with continued momentum in our eCommerce business while in our wholesale segment, we saw continued strength in our department store doors with higher sell-through rates and further market share gains. During the third quarter, we opened two stores in premier locations and we recently signed a lease for a store in midtown Manhattan across from Rockefeller Center. Overall, with another quarter of great results under our belt, combined with our performance through the Black Friday weekend, we are raising the low end of our full year guidance and are more optimistic than ever about our ability to deliver profitable growth over the long term.”
For the third quarter ended November 3, 2018:
|
|
• |
Net sales increased 5.6% to $83.5 million from $79.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Wholesale segment sales were flat at $53.0 million, as shipment declines related to the exit of certain wholesale partners were offset by lower sales allowances than in the same prior year period. Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 17.1% to $30.5 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Comparable sales increased 14.1%, including e-commerce sales, due primarily to an increase in transactions partially offset by a lower average unit retail related to product mix. |
|
|
• |
Gross profit increased 11.3% to $40.8 million, or 48.9% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $36.7 million, or 46.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The 250 basis point increase in gross margin rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was due to a decrease in the rate of sales allowances in the wholesale segment, non-recurring costs incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 related to the exit of certain wholesale partners and lower product and supply chain costs. This was partially offset by an unfavorable impact from year-over-year adjustments to inventory reserves. |
|
|
• |
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $31.9 million, or 38.2% of sales compared to $31.4 million, or 39.7% of sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. |
|
|
• |
Operating income increased by 68.9% to $9.0 million, or 10.7% of net sales compared to operating income of $5.3 million, or 6.7% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. |
|
|
• |
Net income was $6.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share compared to $3.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. |
|
|
• |
The Company ended the quarter with 59 company-operated stores representing a net increase of four stores since the third quarter of last year. |
Balance Sheet
The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal 2018 with $1.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $63.0 million of borrowings under its debt agreements. On August 21, 2018, the Company refinanced the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2013 Term Loan Facility by entering into the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Term Loan Facility. All outstanding amounts under the previous credit facilities totaling $69.8 million including interest were repaid in full.
The Company decreased overall borrowings under its debt agreements since the same period last year by $5.1 million, primarily due to $8.5 million of net repayments to the term loan facilities, partially offset by an increase in net borrowings under the revolving credit facilities to fund working capital needs.
Net inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $61.5 million compared to $51.4 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in inventory was primarily due to the planned product returns in the first half of the fiscal year from exited wholesale partners and the growth of the replenishment program.
Capital expenditures for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 totaled $1.3 million.
Fiscal 2018 Outlook
For fiscal 2018 the Company now expects:
|
|
• |
Net sales to be between $277 million and $280 million. This compares to net sales of $272.6 million in fiscal 2017. |
|
|
• |
Operating income to be between $5 million and $7 million, excluding any potential non-cash asset impairment charges. This compares to reported operating loss of $18.3 million in fiscal |
|
|
2017, which included a $5.1 million non-cash asset impairment charge related to property and equipment of certain retail stores. |
