NEW YORK, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jones Apparel Group, Inc. (NYSE: JNY) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.  Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $777 million, as compared with $847 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.  Revenues for the full year 2009 were $3,327 million, as compared with $3,616 million for the full year 2008.  The fourth quarter decrease in revenues of 8% was as anticipated and reflective of the overall economic conditions that continue to affect retail sales in general.  Gross profit margin increased 480 basis points to 34.3% for the fourth quarter, reflecting the benefits of careful inventory management.

The Company reported adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") of $0.11 for the fourth quarter of 2009, as compared with adjusted earnings per share of ($0.04) for the same period last year.  The 2009 and 2008 fourth quarter adjusted results exclude charges related to the impairments of goodwill and trademarks in our retail, jeanswear and footwear and accessories businesses, the impact of severance and other costs related to restructuring activities initiated across the Company, and certain other costs.  Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations on a full year basis were $1.14 in 2009 versus $0.87 per share in the prior year (see reconciliation of adjusted earnings to reported earnings in the accompanying schedule).

As reported under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reported a loss of ($1.53) per share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2009, as compared with a loss of ($9.86) for the same period last year.  The 2009 results include non-cash impairment charges of approximately $150 million ($138 million after tax) for certain goodwill and trademarks within our Retail and Wholesale Jeanswear and Wholesale Footwear and Accessories businesses, while the 2008 results include non-cash impairment charges of approximately $838 million ($810 million after tax) for certain goodwill and trademarks within our Wholesale Footwear and Accessories business.  Such charges were a result of the Company's required annual testing under GAAP.  The fourth quarter results also include severance and other costs related to restructuring activities initiated across the Company, and certain other charges totaling $4 million ($2 million after tax) and $13 million ($9 million after tax) in 2009 and 2008, respectively.  

Wesley R. Card, Jones Apparel Group Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are encouraged by the strength of our brands and retail partnerships as we look ahead to 2010.  We have focused on revitalizing our core brands and organizational structure and have enhanced our product offerings by acquiring new brands and developing new partnerships.  We also streamlined our supply chain and distribution networks and closed marginally profitable businesses.  Our retail improvement plan is showing positive results.  We have already closed approximately 100 retail locations, with an additional 165 locations to close in 2010. Today, we are a leading department store resource, and we continue to explore new opportunities to offer consumers quality products at the right price points."

Mr. Card continued: "Our fourth quarter results were reflective of today's macroeconomic situation, which was marked by both low consumer confidence and spending levels. We are encouraged by our improved operating margins and the performance of our Retail business, which was profitable in the quarter and posted an increase in comparable store sales of 2.0%."    

Cash provided by continuing operating activities during 2009 was $349 million, an improvement of $173 million when compared with 2008.  The improvement in cash flow was largely driven by inventory control, lower working capital requirements and the timing of certain cash receipts and payments.  The Company has no amounts drawn under its $650 million of committed revolving credit facilities.

John T. McClain, Jones Apparel Group Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Our financial position continues to be strong, ending the quarter with $333 million in cash, and our revolver remains undrawn.  During the year, we repaid $250 million in long term debt, and our total debt balance is now $529 million.  Aggressive management of inventories and expenses helped conserve cash and improve margins.  We will maintain the same approach toward spending as we manage throughout 2010."  

Mr. Card concluded: "For 2010, we are encouraged by trends in the retail market as supply and demand have come into balance.  Additionally, we believe that our retail partners will be able to more accurately plan for the future as market visibility increases.  As always, we will continue to take the necessary actions to achieve improved performance, increase our market share and enhance shareholder value."

The Company's Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share to all common stockholders of record as of February 26, 2010, for payment on March 12, 2010.

The Company will host a conference call with management to discuss these results at 8:30 a.m. eastern time today, which is accessible by dialing 412-858-4600 or through a web cast at www.jonesapparel.com (under Investor Relations/Conference Schedule). The call will be recorded and made available through February 17, 2010 and may be accessed by dialing 877-344-7529.  Enter account number 437170.  A slide presentation will accompany the prepared remarks and has been posted with the webcast on the Company's website.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  All statements regarding the Company's expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements.  The words "believes," "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements also include representations of the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events that involve risks and uncertainties, including:

  • those associated with the effect of national, regional and international economic conditions;
  • lowered levels of consumer spending resulting from a general economic downturn or lower levels of consumer confidence;
  • the tightening of the credit markets and our ability to obtain capital on satisfactory terms;
  • given the uncertain economic environment, the possible unwillingness of committed lenders to meet their obligations to lend to borrowers, in general;
  • the performance of the Company's products within the prevailing retail environment;
  • customer acceptance of both new designs and newly-introduced product lines;
  • the Company's reliance on a few department store groups for large portions of the Company's business;
  • the Company's ability to identify acquisition candidates and, in a competitive environment for such acquisitions, acquire such businesses on reasonable financial and other terms;
  • the integration of the organizations and operations of any acquired businesses into the Company's existing organization and operations;
  • consolidation of the Company's retail customers;
  • financial difficulties encountered by the Company's customers;
  • the effects of vigorous competition in the markets in which the Company operates;
  • the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified executives and other key personnel;
  • the Company's reliance on independent foreign manufacturers;
  • changes in the costs of raw materials, labor, advertising and transportation;
  • the general inability to obtain higher wholesale prices for the Company's products that the Company has experienced for many years;
  • the uncertainties of sourcing associated with an environment in which general quota has expired on apparel products but litigation and political activity seeking to re-impose quotas have been initiated;
  • the Company's ability to successfully implement new operational and financial computer systems; and
  • the Company's ability to secure and protect trademarks and other intellectual property rights.

A further description of these risks and uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, including, but not limited to, the Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure and Item 1A-Risk Factors therein, and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such expectations may prove to be incorrect.  The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

    (1)  Earnings per share is calculated under the "two-class method," where
         income is allocated between common shares and participating
         securities (unvested restricted shares held by employees that have
         a nonforfeitable right to dividends).  Both our common shares and
         participating securities share equally in dividend payments and
         earnings.
