For the second quarter of 2013 on a GAAP basis, loss from continuing operations was ($36) million, or ($0.30) per share, compared to loss from continuing operations of ($50) million, or ($0.46) per share, for the second quarter of 2012.

Adjusted loss per share from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2013 was ($0.12), compared to adjusted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.09) for the second quarter of 2012.

(4%)

 

For the first half of 2013, the Company recorded a loss from continuing operations of ($76) million, or ($0.63) per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations for the first half of 2012 of ($101) million, or ($0.96) per share. Adjusted loss per share from continuing operations in the first half of 2013 was ($0.27) compared to an adjusted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.31) in the first half of 2012. Net sales for the first half of 2012 were $754 million, an increase of $100 million, or 15.3%, from the comparable 2012 period.

 

William L. McComb, Chief Executive Officer of Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc., said: “We were pleased overall with the performance of our brands during the quarter, as we believe we remain on track to achieve our 2013 financial targets. Kate Spade posted a 65% increase in total net sales, driven by strong performance in all channels of its business and a 27% increase in direct-to-consumer comparable sales. Excluding the impact of $22 million in net sales associated with Kate

Spade Japan, net sales for Kate Spade increased 43%. Kate Spade remains on track to achieve its adjusted EBITDA target of $130 to $140 million for the year, despite the planned dilution on adjusted EBITDA margin resulting from the reporting impact of the Kate Spade Japan acquisition and the launch of Kate Spade Saturday.”

 

Mr. McComb continued: “At Lucky Brand, total net sales decreased 2% in the second quarter, driven primarily by the timing impact of wholesale shipments that we discussed last quarter, while direct-to-consumer comparable sales increased 2% in the quarter. As we enter the Fall season, we believe the brand is well-positioned to achieve its targets for the back half of the year. Performance at Juicy Couture in the second quarter was consistent overall with our expectation. Gross margin rate was down compared to the second quarter of 2012, although we saw some improvement in trend compared to the first quarter.  Total net sales for the brand were down (11%) in the quarter and direct-to-consumer comparable sales decreased (4%). We continue to believe that the brand is nearing a turning point and has a bright future under the direction of Paul Blum and his team.”

 

Mr. McComb concluded: “We are continuing our work to identify the best path forward with our brand portfolio to maximize shareholder value and will provide an update as and when appropriate. In the meantime, all of our business segments continue to progress and we expect to achieve our business plan in the second half of 2013. We continue to forecast adjusted EBITDA, net of foreign currency transaction adjustments, in the range of $120 to $150 million.”

 

The adjusted results for the second quarter and first half of 2013 and 2012, as well as forward-looking targets, exclude the impact of expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities, acquisition related costs, losses on extinguishment of debt, impairment of cost investment and interest expense charges related to a multi-employer pension withdrawal liability. The Company believes that the adjusted results for such periods represent a more meaningful presentation of its historical operations and financial performance since these results provide period to period comparisons that are consistent and more easily understood. The attached tables, captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information,” provide a full reconciliation of actual results to the adjusted results. We present Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude income tax provision (benefit), interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, net, losses on extinguishment of debt, expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities, acquisition related costs, non-cash impairment charges, losses on asset disposals and non-cash share-based compensation expense. We also present Adjusted EBITDA, net of foreign currency transaction adjustments, which is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unrealized and certain realized foreign currency transaction adjustments, net. We present the above-described EBITDA measures because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

 

The Company will sponsor a conference call at 10:00am eastern time today to discuss its results for the second quarter of 2013. The dial-in number is 1-888-694-4676 with pass code 16648091. The web cast and slides accompanying the prepared remarks can be accessed via the Investor Relations section of the Fifth & Pacific website at www.fifthandpacific.com.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we determined that our measure of segment profitability is Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment.  Accordingly, our CEO evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on Segment Adjusted EBITDA.  Segment Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric utilized in our annual bonus and long-term incentive plans. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) charges due to streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities and acquisition related costs; and (iii) losses on asset disposals and impairments. Unallocated Corporate costs also exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense.  Therefore, Segment Adjusted EBITDA does not include Corporate costs associated with the following functions: corporate finance, investor relations, communications, legal, human resources and information technology shared services and costs of executive offices and corporate facilities, which are included in Unallocated Corporate costs. We do not allocate amounts reported below Operating loss to our reportable segments, other than equity income (loss) in equity method investees. Our definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

Overall Results

 

Net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2013 were $382 million, an increase of $45 million, or 13.4% from the second quarter of 2012, reflecting an increase in sales in our Kate Spade segment, partially offset by declines in sales in our Juicy Couture, Adelington Design Group and Lucky Brand segments. Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 included $22 million of Kate Spade Japan sales.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 56.5% in the second quarter of 2013, compared to 56.6% in the comparable 2012 period, primarily reflecting increased promotional activity in our Juicy Couture segment, partially offset by increased gross profits in our Kate Spade segment, which runs at a higher gross profit rate than the Company average.

 

Selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $4 million, or 1.5%, to $232 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. The increase in SG&A reflected the following:

 

·

A $38 million increase in SG&A in our Kate Spade and Lucky Brand segments, primarily related to direct-to-consumer expansion reflecting: (i) increased e-commerce fees and advertising expenses; (ii) increased compensation related expenses and (iii) increased rent and other store operating expenses. The increase also included incremental SG&A associated with Kate Spade Japan and the launch of Kate Spade Saturday;

·

A $12 million decrease in costs at Corporate and in our Juicy Couture and Adelington Design Group segments; and

·

A $22 million decrease in expenses associated with our streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities and acquisition related costs.

 

SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 60.7% in the second quarter of 2013, compared to 67.8% in the second quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting reduced SG&A at Corporate and in our Juicy Couture and Adelington Design Group segments.

Other (Expense) Income, net was ($1) million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $5 million in the second quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting (i) foreign currency transaction gains and losses and (ii) equity in (losses) earnings of our investments in equity investees.

 

Impairment of Cost Investment was ($6) million in the second quarter of 2013, related to the investment in the Mexx business.

 

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt was ($3) million in the second quarter of 2012 resulting from the conversion of $15 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Notes into 4.3 million shares of our common stock and the repurchase of 29 million euro aggregate principal amount of our Euro Notes.

 

Interest expense, net was $12 million in the second quarter of 2013, flat compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting a decrease of $2 million in interest expense related to the Euro Notes and Convertible Notes and a $1 million decrease in financing fees, partially offset by a $3 million increase in interest expense on the Senior Notes and outstanding borrowings under our Amended Facility.

 

Provision for Income Taxes was $2 million in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, primarily representing increases in deferred tax liabilities for indefinite-lived intangible assets, current tax on operations in certain jurisdictions and an increase in the accrual for interest related to uncertain tax positions.

 

Loss from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2013 was ($36) million, or ($0.30) per share, compared to a loss of ($50) million, or ($0.46) per share in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted loss per share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2013 was ($0.12), compared to adjusted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.09) in the second quarter of 2012.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

 

Accounts Receivable decreased $20 million, or 17.8%, at the end of the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to decreased wholesale sales in our Juicy Couture and Lucky Brand segments, partially offset by increased wholesale sales in our Kate Spade segment.

 

Inventories increased $51 million, or 26.9% at the end of the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to an increase in Kate Spade inventory to support growth initiatives and the impact of the Kate Spade Japan acquisition.

 

Cash flow used in continuing operating activities for the last twelve months was ($8) million, including a $20 million advance refunded to JCPenney in February 2013.

We ended the second quarter of 2013 with $9 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $174 million at the end of the second quarter of 2012.
