NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jones Group Inc. (NYSE: JNY; the "Company") today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.  Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $894 million, as compared with $874 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  Revenues for the full year 2011 were $3,785 million, as compared with $3,643 million for the full year 2010.

The Company reported adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.10 for the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared with adjusted earnings per share of $0.04 for the same period last year.  The 2011 fourth quarter results include certain tax benefits of $0.07 per share.  Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations on a full year basis were $1.30 in 2011 as compared with $1.51 per share in the prior year.  The adjusted results exclude charges related to the impairments of certain intangible assets, the impact of severance and other costs related to restructuring activities, certain acquisition-related costs and other costs not considered relevant for period-over-period comparisons (see reconciliation of adjusted earnings to reported earnings in the accompanying schedule).    

As reported under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reported a fourth quarter loss per share of ($0.27) and ($0.47) for 2011 and 2010, respectively.  On a full year basis, the Company reported GAAP earnings of $0.61 per share for 2011 as compared with $0.62 per share for 2010.  The results for both periods include non-cash impairment charges relating to certain trademarks.  The non-cash impairment charges of $32 million ($20 million after tax) and $38 million ($24 million after tax) for 2011 and 2010, respectively, were primarily related to tradenames utilized in our Wholesale Jeanswear business.  Such charges in both periods were a result of the Company's required annual testing under GAAP.  

Wesley R. Card, The Jones Group Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Fourth quarter revenues were lower than expected due to the highly promotional retail environment and a slowdown in replenishment orders.  Our gross margins were much improved due to the inclusion of the Kurt Geiger business and an improvement in our core businesses, which generated a modest improvement in operating income."

Cash provided by operating activities during 2011 was $272 million, compared with $141 million in 2010.  The current year results reflect a lower level of required investment in working capital and lower tax payments, somewhat offset by slightly lower earnings.  The Company had $239 million in cash and no amounts drawn under its $650 million of committed revolving credit facilities.

John T. McClain, The Jones Group Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Our financial position remains strong.  We ended the year with $239 million in cash and our revolver undrawn.  We are approaching our 2012 inventory commitments with a conservative, tightened buy plan, which is the same approach we had in 2011.  With a focus on inventory management, expense control, and operational efficiencies, we believe we will continue to improve margins and maintain a strong balance sheet."  

Mr. Card concluded: "We are committed to driving profitability and continue to operate efficiently, control costs and execute at a high level.  At the same time, we are concentrating our efforts on the areas we believe offer the greatest opportunity for revenue growth – upscale and contemporary brands, international and our traditional core brands.  We believe our new brand management approach and creative design talents, including the addition of Stefani Greenfield, as Chief Creative Officer, will advance the reinvigoration of our core brands."

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 24, 2012, for payment on March 9, 2012.

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.jonesgroupinc.com (under Investor Relations/Conference Schedule). The call will be recorded and made available through February 16, 2012 and may be accessed by dialing 877-344-7529.  Enter account number 10008702.  A slide presentation will accompany the prepared remarks and has been posted with the webcast on the Company's website.  

Presentation of Information in the Press Release

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 the Company's 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, including political instability in countries where contractors and suppliers are located;
  • changes in the costs of raw materials, labor, advertising and transportation, including the impact such changes may have on the pricing of the Company's products and the resulting impact on consumer acceptance of the Company's products at higher price points;
  • the Company's ability to successfully implement new operational and financial information 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, 2010, 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.
