Perry Ellis International Announces Preliminary Record Revenue and Ear

Perry Ellis International Announces Preliminary Record Revenue and Earnings Results for the 1st Quarter


    Business Editors/Retail Writers

    MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 16, 2005--Perry Ellis International, Inc. (NASDAQ:PERY):

-- To Present at the Bear Stearns 14th Annual Global Credit Conference

-- Final First Quarter Results to Be Released May 24, 2005

    Perry Ellis International, Inc. (NASDAQ:PERY) announced today that, based on preliminary estimates, the Company presently anticipates that total revenue for its first quarter ended April 30, 2005, will be approximately $225 million compared to $197 million for the first quarter ended April 30, 2004. This increase of approximately $28 million, or 14% over the Company's total revenues for the prior year is expected to be comprised of an approximately $43 million increase in revenues generated from the February 26, 2005 acquisition of certain assets of Tropical Sportswear Int'l Corporation and an approximately $2 million revenue increase generated by the Company's men's wholesale operations, offset by the planned revenue decline of approximately $17 million in the Company's swimwear operations.
    George Feldenkreis, Chairman and CEO commented "We are pleased that preliminary results at this time reflect again a record revenue quarter. Our men's business continues to perform well, and our product lines continue to evolve to meet changing consumer tastes and preferences. The integration of Tropical's operations is proceeding on schedule and revenues during the quarter were consistent with management's expectations. The Tropical acquisition positions us as a major force in the men's bottoms business."
    Perry Ellis further announced that it anticipates net income for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005 to range from approximately $8.5 to $9.0 million, representing an increase of approximately 4- 10% over the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended April 30, 2005 are expected to range from approximately $0.85 to $0.89, compared to $0.89 for the prior year period. The potential decrease reflects the impact of a 9% increase in weighted average shares outstanding stemming from the Company's stock offering in May 2004
    The Company confirmed its previously announced fiscal 2006 guidance with total revenues expected to be in the range of approximately $890 to $910 million and diluted earnings per share expected to be approximately $2.25 to $2.35. Management is evaluating the challenges and opportunities arising from the current retail consolidations as well as higher borrowing costs.
    Perry Ellis will release final first quarter results for fiscal 2006 on May 24, 2005.
    Perry Ellis also announced that management will be presenting at the Bear Stearns 14th Annual Global Credit Conference on May 17, 2005 at 9:45 a.m. Eastern time. The PowerPoint presentation will be available to investors for seven days on the homepage of the Company's website at http://www.pery.com.
