      NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

      Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Summary

      • Net sales were $713 million
      • Comparable sales increased 4%
      • GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.74
      • Non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.951

      Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) today reported GAAP earnings from continuing operations per diluted share of $0.74 for the three months ended November 3, 2018, compared to a loss per diluted share of $(8.55) in the third quarter last year.  Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods, the Company reported third quarter earnings from continuing operations per diluted share of $0.95, compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.02 last year.

      Robert J. Dennis, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said:

      "We achieved our highest quarterly comparable sales increase in more than two years driven by the ongoing strength of our U.S. footwear businesses. Journeys and Johnston & Murphy delivered strong performances both in-store and online, which fueled an acceleration in our combined consolidated store and digital comps on a sequential basis. While still negative, sales trends at both the Lids Sports Group and Schuh Group continued to improve following a very challenging start to the year. Even with the strong comp result, sales were down year-over-year due primarily to the calendar shift that moved an important back-to-school sales week out of the third quarter into the second quarter. At the same time, a change in timing of catalog expenses due to new revenue recognition standards contributed to an increase in operating costs. All of this resulted in earnings per share that were slightly ahead of our expectations but below last year's level.

      "The fourth quarter has started well, highlighted by solid results during the Black Friday through Cyber Monday period. While we are optimistic about continued strength at Journeys and Johnston & Murphy, the persistent negative comps at Lids and Schuh keep us cautious for the balance of the year, with the greater part of holiday shopping ahead of us. Looking further ahead, we believe the many initiatives we've recently executed have the Company well positioned to generate increased profitability and deliver greater shareholder value in fiscal 2020."

      Third Quarter Review

      Net sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2019 decreased 1% to $713 million from $717 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2018. Comparable sales increased 4%, with stores up 4% and direct up 9%. Direct-to-consumer sales were 11% of total retail sales for the quarter, compared to 10% last year.

      Third quarter gross margin this year was 49.5% compared with 49.4% last year.

      Selling and administrative expense for the third quarter this year was 45.9%, up 90 basis points, compared to 45.0% of sales for the same period last year.  The increase as a percentage of sales reflects higher bonus accruals and the shift in timing of catalog expenses, partially offset by the leveraging of rents and several other expense categories.

      Genesco's GAAP operating income for the third quarter was $19.5 million this year compared with an operating loss of $152.4 million last year.  Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods, operating income for the third quarter was $26.0 million this year compared with operating income of $31.3 million last year.  Adjusted operating margin was 3.7% of sales in the third quarter of Fiscal 2019 and 4.4% last year.

      The effective tax rate for the quarter was 22.1% in Fiscal 2019 compared to -7.1% last year.  The adjusted tax rate, reflecting Excluded Items, was 25.9% in Fiscal 2019 compared to 33.9% last year.  The lower adjusted tax rate for this year reflects the lower U.S. federal income tax rate following the passage of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in December 2017, partially offset by the inability to recognize a tax benefit for certain overseas losses.

      GAAP earnings from continuing operations were $14.5 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2019, compared to a loss of $164.8 million in the third quarter last year.  Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods, third quarter earnings from continuing operations were $18.7 million in Fiscal 2019, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $19.7 million last year.          

      Cash, Borrowings and Inventory

      Cash and cash equivalents at November 3, 2018 were $53.4 million, compared with $50.7 million at October 28, 2017.   Total debt at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $81.8 million compared with $223.6 million at the end of last year's third quarter, a decrease of 63%. Inventories decreased 5% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2019 on a year-over-year basis.   

      Capital Expenditures and Store Activity

      For the third quarter, capital expenditures were $16 million, which consisted of $10 million related to store remodels and new stores and $6 million related to direct to consumer, omnichannel, information technology, distribution center and other projects.    Depreciation and amortization was $19 million.  During the quarter, the Company opened 15 new stores and closed 19 stores.  Excluding Locker Room by Lids in Macy's stores, the Company ended the quarter with 2,534 stores compared with 2,604 stores at the end of the third quarter last year, or a decrease of 3%.  Square footage was down 2% on a year-over-year basis, both including and excluding Lids Locker Room departments in Macy's stores. 

      Fiscal 2019 Outlook

      For Fiscal 2019, the Company is narrowing its previously announced guidance range for adjusted diluted earnings per share and reiterating its expectation that earnings for the year will be near the midpoint of the range.  The Company expects:

      • Comparable sales to be up 2% to 3%, and
      • Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.10 to $3.40.2

      Safe Harbor Statement

      This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the performance outlook for the Company and its individual businesses (including, without limitation, sales, expenses, margins and earnings) and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. A number of factors could cause differences.  These include adjustments to estimates and projections reflected in forward-looking statements, including the level and timing of promotional activity necessary to maintain inventories at appropriate levels; the Company's ability to complete the sale of the Lids Sports Group business on acceptable terms and the timing of any sale transaction; the imposition of tariffs on imported products or the disallowance of tax deductions on imported products; disruptions in product supply or distribution; unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs, and other factors affecting the cost of products; the effects of the British decision to exit the European Union, including potential effects on consumer demand, currency exchange rates, and the supply chain; the effectiveness of the Company's omnichannel initiatives; costs associated with changes in minimum wage and overtime requirements;  cost associated with wage pressure associated with a full employment environment in the U.S. and the U.K.; weakness in the consumer economy and retail industry for the products we sell; competition in the Company's markets, including online and including competition from some of the Company's vendors in both the licensed sports and branded footwear markets; fashion trends, including the lack of new fashion trends or products, that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings; weakness in shopping mall traffic and challenges to the viability of malls where the Company operates stores, related to planned closings of department stores or other factors and the extent and pace of growth of online shopping; the effects of the implementation of federal tax reform on the estimated tax rate reflected in certain forward-looking statements; changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers; bankruptcies or deterioration in financial condition of significant wholesale customers or the inability of wholesale customers or consumers to obtain credit; the Company's ability to continue to complete and integrate acquisitions, expand its business and diversify its product base; changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period-to-period sales comparisons; and the performance of athletic teams, the participants in major sporting events such as the NBA finals, Super Bowl, World Series, and College Football Playoffs, developments with respect to certain individual athletes, and other sports-related events or changes that may affect period-to-period comparisons in the Company's Lids Sports Group retail businesses. Additional factors that could affect the Company's prospects and cause differences from expectations include the ability to build, open, staff and support additional retail stores and to renew leases in existing stores and control or lower occupancy costs, and to conduct required remodeling or refurbishment on schedule and at expected expense levels; deterioration in the performance of individual businesses or of the Company's market value relative to its book value, resulting in impairments of fixed assets or intangible assets or other adverse financial consequences and the timing and amount of such impairments or other consequences; unexpected changes to the market for the Company's shares or for the retail sector in general; costs and reputational harm as a result of disruptions in the Company's business or information technology systems either by security breaches and incidents or by potential problems associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems; and the cost and outcome of litigation, investigations and environmental matters involving the Company. Additional factors are cited in the "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of, and elsewhere in, our SEC filings, copies of which may be obtained from the SEC website, www.sec.gov, or by contacting the investor relations department of Genesco via our website, www.genesco.com. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of the subject matter of this release are beyond Genesco's ability to control or predict. Genesco undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
