Genesco Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) today reported earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter ended October 29, 2016, of $25.9 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $32.9 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended October 31, 2015.  Fiscal 2017 third quarter results reflect pretax items of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share after tax, for asset impairment charges, offset by $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from a lower than normal tax rate due to the release of tax reserves and other items. Fiscal 2016 third quarter results reflect pretax items of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share after tax, for network intrusion expenses and asset impairment charges, offset by $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, from a lower than normal tax rate due to the release of valuation allowances.        

Adjusted for the items described above in both periods, earnings from continuing operations were $25.5 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $32.2 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2016.  For consistency with Fiscal 2017's previously announced earnings expectations and with previously reported adjusted results for the prior year period, the Company believes that the disclosure of the results from continuing operations adjusted for these items will be useful to investors. A reconciliation of earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles with the adjusted earnings and earnings per share numbers presented in this paragraph is set forth on Schedule B to this press release.

Net sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 decreased 8% to $711 million from $774 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2016, reflecting the sale of the Lids Team Sports business in the fourth quarter of last year and a decrease of approximately 3% in sales from businesses operated during both periods.  Consolidated third quarter 2017 comparable sales, including same store sales and comparable e-commerce and catalog sales, decreased 3%, with an 8% decrease in the Journeys Group, a 2% increase in the Lids Sports Group, flat comparable sales in the Schuh Group, and a 1% increase in the Johnston & Murphy Group. Comparable sales for the Company reflected a 4% decrease in same store sales and a 7% increase in e-commerce sales.

Robert J. Dennis, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Genesco, said, "Consolidated comparable sales for the third quarter came in ahead of our expectations, thanks to better than expected sales at the Lids Sports Group and Schuh Group.  Our top-line performance, effective management of selling costs, and share repurchases made during the quarter allowed us to deliver earnings per share ahead of expectations.  We were able to offset some of the bottom line pressure caused by negative expense leverage on lower sales versus last year through gross margin expansion, primarily a significant increase in the Lids Sports Group.

"Fourth quarter consolidated comparable sales were -2% through November 29, 2016.  The strong positive impact of the World Series on the Lids Sports Group's sales has offset weaker comps in the rest of our businesses so far during the quarter.  While we expect the Cubs' victory to continue to drive sales through the balance of the quarter, it will have less impact than the gains immediately following the Series.

"Our outlook going forward takes into account the better than expected third quarter performance and positive effect of the World Series win.  This is offset, primarily by expectations for a more challenging fourth quarter at Journeys due to unseasonably warmer weather that has hurt sales and the continued impact of the fashion shift that began to affect Journeys' sales in the second quarter.   Thus, we are reiterating expectations for adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ending January 28, 2017, in the range of $3.80 to $4.00."  Consistent with previous guidance, these expectations do not include expected non-cash asset impairments and other charges, net of the gain on a litigation settlement and gain on the sale of Lids Team Sports, estimated in the range of a $1.8 million pretax gain to a $0.8 million pretax charge, or $(0.06) to $0.03 per share after tax, for the full fiscal year.  This guidance assumes a comparable sales decrease in the 2% to 3% range for the full year.  A reconciliation of the adjusted financial measures cited in the guidance to their corresponding measures as reported pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is included in Schedule B to this press release.

Dennis concluded, "While the headwinds for Journeys are likely to continue in the near term, we have made purchase commitments for spring product that reflect the shift in fashion, which we believe should reverse the negative trend.  Beyond that, we remain confident in the strategic positioning of all our retail businesses and believe that the Company's long-term competitive advantages will drive improved profitability and greater shareholder value."

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
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 reflected in forward-looking statements, including the level and timing of promotional activity necessary to maintain inventories at appropriate levels;  the timing and amount of non-cash asset impairments related to retail store fixed assets and intangible assets of acquired businesses; the effectiveness of the Company's omnichannel initiatives; costs associated with changes in minimum wage and overtime requirements; the level of chargebacks from credit card users for fraudulent purchases or other reasons; weakness in the consumer economy and retail industry; competition in the Company's markets; fashion trends 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; 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; 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 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 Super Bowl and World Series, 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 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; unexpected changes to the market for the Company's shares; variations from expected pension-related charges caused by conditions in the financial markets; disruptions in the Company's 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.

(1) The adjusted tax rate for the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 is 35.4% excluding a FIN 48 discrete item of $0.2 million.  The adjusted tax

      rate for the first nine months of Fiscal 2016 is 36.5% excluding a FIN 48 discrete item of less than $0.1 million.











(2) EPS reflects 20.4 and 23.4 million share count for Fiscal 2017 and 2016, which includes common stock equivalents in both years.










The Company believes that disclosure of earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted for the items not reflected in

the previously announced expectations will be meaningful to investors, especially in light of the impact of such items on the results.
