Farooq Kathwari, Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are well positioned to grow with our many initiatives including refreshed and relevant product offerings, the strengthening of our North American manufacturing, logistics and retail network of 200 design centers staffed by 1,500 interior design professionals, investments in technology and increased spend on advertising.”

 

Mr. Kathwari further stated, “We are also strengthening our distribution channels including collaboration with Amazon to be launched this summer, the recent launch of Ethan Allen | Disney offerings on disneystore.com, the U.S. State Department contract, additional important contract initiatives and increased business opportunity with our collaboration in China where we are launching Ethan Allen | Disney this summer.”

Mr. Kathwari concluded, “The third quarter results were impacted with very strong prior year comparisons when sales increased 10% and EPS increased 89%. In addition, the uncertain political environment and customer expectations of higher discounting contributed to lowering sales. During the quarter, we increased advertising by 21% and plan to increase by about the same amount in our fourth quarter. During this quarter, we also made a decision to reduce clearance and discontinued inventory at both our wholesale and retail segments through donation within the next three months, resulting in a pre-tax charge of $6.4 million in the quarter.”

 

 

FISCAL 2017 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS:

 

Consolidated

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $180.5 which decreased 5.3% compared to $190.6 in the comparable prior year period.

 

Gross profit was $94.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $105.7 million and gross margin was 52.5% compared to 55.5% in the comparable prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 56.0% compared to 55.5% in the comparable prior year period. Included in gross profit was a $6.4 million charge for write-down of inventory. Retail sales as a percent of total consolidated sales decreased to 78.6% from 79.8% decreasing our consolidated gross margin due to mix, partially offset by improved manufacturing efficiency.(See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP presentation)

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $90.8 million or 50.3% of sales compared to $89.7 million or 47.1% of sales in the comparable prior year period. This was primarily due to increased costs in the current year for advertising costs, which increased 21% over the prior year quarter, costs associated with new retail design centers, and a prior year gain on the sale of real estate in our retail segment, which were partially offset by other operating expenses which decreased $3.2 million during the quarter.

 

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $3.9 million or 2.2% of sales compared to $16.0 million or 8.4% of sales in the comparable prior year period. Adjusted operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $10.3 million or 5.7% of sales compared to $15.5 million or 8.2% of sales in the comparable prior year period. The lower operating income and margin in the current quarter was driven primarily by increased expenses in the current year due to the inventory write-down, and the impact of reduced current year sales. (See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP presentation)

 

Net income was $2.3 million or $0.08 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $10.2 million or $0.36 per diluted share in the prior year comparable period. Adjusted net income was $6.3 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $9.6 million or $0.34 per diluted share in the prior year comparable period. (See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP presentation)

 

Retail Segment

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $141.9 million compared to $152.2 million in the prior year comparable period, a decrease of 6.7% compared to the prior year.

Total written orders for the retail division of $152.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 were down 7.7% compared to the same prior year period, and comparable Design Center written orders of $141.3 million were down 10.9% over the same period.

 

Operating income reflected an operating loss of $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $7.9 million from operating income of $0.6 million over the same prior year period. The lower operating income in the current quarter was driven primarily by the inventory write-down, the prior year income on the sale of real estate, and the impact of reduced current year sales. Additionally, during the current and previous year quarter incurred $1.4 million and $1.0 million respectively in losses due to new design centers.

 

Wholesale Segment

 

Net sales of $110.8 million decreased 5.4% compared to $117.2 million in the prior year quarter, with decreased sales to our retail and independent dealers in the United States, partly offset by an increase in international sales.

 

Operating income of $9.7 million decreased 38.3% compared to $15.8 million in the prior year quarter. The current year was impacted by the inventory write-down, increased advertising and lower sales by retail.

 

 

FISCAL 2017 YEAR-TO-DATE FINANCIAL RESULTS:

 

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were $568.5 million, a decrease of 3.4% compared to $588.5 million, due to lower sales in the second and third quarters, primarily in the wholesale segment.

 

Gross profit was $311.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $326.4 million and gross margin was 54.8%, compared to 55.5%. Adjusted gross margin was 55.9% compared to 55.5% in the comparable prior year period. Included in gross profit was the $6.4 million charge for write-down of inventory recognized during the current quarter. Partially offsetting the inventory write-down was an increase in retail sales mix, and a year-to-date reduction in clearance activity. Retail sales accounted for 79.2% of sales in the current year compared to 78.7% in the prior year. (See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP presentation)

 

Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were $272.0 million or 47.8% of sales compared to $263.0 million or 44.7% of sales in the comparable prior year period. This was primarily due to a prior year gain versus a current year loss on the sale of real estate in our retail segment, increased costs in the current year for advertising, occupancy and warehouse costs on a net increase of five design centers, and expenses associated with the Ethan Allen | Disney launch.

 

Operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $39.4 million or 6.9% of sales compared to $63.4 million or 10.8% of sales in the comparable prior year period. Operating margin of 6.9% compared to 10.8%, while adjusted operating margin of 8.2% compared to 10.5% in the prior year. Adjusted operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $46.4 million compared to $61.8 million. The lower operating income and margin was driven primarily by increased expenses in the current year due to the inventory write-down, and the impact of reduced current year sales. (See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP presentation)

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This press release is intended to supplement, rather than to supersede, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In this press release we have included financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: “adjusted operating expenses”, “adjusted operating income”, “adjusted operating margin”, ”adjusted net income”, ”adjusted earnings per share”, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") (collectively “non-GAAP financial measures”). We compute these non-GAAP financial measures by adjusting the GAAP measures to remove the impact of certain recurring and non-recurring charges and gains and the tax effect of these adjustments. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company in this press release may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures, including similarly titled measures, used by other companies. A reconciliation of these financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure reported in accordance with GAAP is also provided at the end of this press release.
