Exhibit 99.1

 

FINAL:  For Release

 

NEW YORK & COMPANY, INC. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2008 RESULTS

 

·                  Fourth Quarter Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $12.1 Million, or $0.20 per diluted share, Consistent with Revised Guidance

·                  Year End Cash Balance of $54.3 Million and No Outstanding Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

·                  Provides Outlook for Spring 2009

 

New York, NY — March 19, 2009 — New York & Company, Inc. [NYSE:NWY], a specialty apparel chain with 589 retail stores, today announced results for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 (“fiscal year 2008”). The results of operations discussed below are for the Company’s continuing operations only, the New York & Company brand.

 

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Results

 

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, net sales were $325.1 million, as compared to $359.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, and comparable store sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 decreased 10.9%.  Net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $27.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, as compared to prior year fourth quarter net income from continuing operations of $11.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.  Adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $12.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, which excludes pre-tax charges of $24.5 million, comprised of $22.9 million of non-cash asset impairment charges and $1.7 million in cash charges incurred in connection with the Company’s previously announced restructuring and cost reduction program, and a $1.5 million charge related to the settlement of two separate class action lawsuits in the State of California. The restructuring and cost reduction program is expected to generate approximately $175 million in pre-tax savings over the next five years, of which approximately $30 million is expected to be realized in fiscal year 2009.  This program is designed to streamline the Company’s organization by reducing costs and eliminating underperforming assets while enhancing efficiency and profitability.

 

For fiscal year 2008, net sales were $1,139.9 million, as compared to net sales of $1,194.9 million for fiscal year 2007, and comparable store sales decreased 8.6% for the fiscal year.  Net loss from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 was $20.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share.  Adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $3.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, which excludes pre-tax charges of $24.5 million incurred in connection with the restructuring and cost reduction program, $1.5 million related to the settlement of two separate class action lawsuits in the State of California, and $2.5 million related to management changes completed in the third quarter. This compares to prior year net income from continuing operations of $26.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share.

 



 

Significant highlights with respect to fiscal year 2008 included the following:

 

·                  The Company’s E-commerce business continued to produce strong results with sales almost double the prior year level;

 

·                  The accessories business continues to improve, and during a very difficult fourth quarter was able to achieve positive comparable store sales;

 

·                  The Company successfully implemented a restructuring and cost reduction program, which is expected to generate approximately $175 million in pre-tax savings over the next five years of which $30 million is expected to be realized in fiscal year 2009;

 

·                  Inventory per average store remains tightly managed with total inventory declining by 1%, and in-store inventory declining by 6.6%, on top of a 23% decline in in-store inventory per average store as of last year’s fiscal year end.  Importantly, total apparel inventory has declined by 9.8% on an overall unit basis and by 14.3% on an in-store basis, as compared to last year’s fiscal year end;

 

·                  The Company opened 25 new stores, remodeled 14 stores and closed 14 stores during the fiscal year, ending the year with 589 stores and 3.3 million selling square feet in operation;

 

·                  Selling, general and administrative expenses declined by 2.1% on an average store basis, reflecting tight expense controls;

 

·                  Cash flows from operations were $34 million and the Company ended the year with $54 million of cash-on-hand; and

 

·                  During the year the Company reduced long-term debt and as of year-end had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

 

Richard P. Crystal, New York & Company’s Chairman and CEO, stated:  “The fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 marked a challenging period for our Company, as the extremely weak economic environment and the resulting impact on consumer spending in the retail sector reduced sales and gave rise to a highly promotional environment which affected profitability.  In this difficult environment we continue to conservatively manage all aspects of our business including inventory, capital expenditures, cash and expenses.  Importantly, we ended the year with a strong balance sheet and made solid progress on our merchandising initiatives.  At year end our balance sheet included $54 million in cash and no borrowings under our asset-based credit facility.  We improved the performance of our accessories business, which achieved positive comparable store sales in the fourth quarter.  Our wear-to-work assortments continued to resonate with consumers, and our E-commerce business continued to grow with sales for the full year almost double the prior year’s level.

 

“As we begin 2009, our priorities are focused on optimizing profitability and cash flow, as we expect the environment to remain tenuous,” Mr. Crystal continued.   “To advance our goals, we have implemented a cost reduction program and expect to generate $30 million in pre-tax savings this year. We have reduced our capital expenditures to $15 million and we will continue to plan inventory tightly while delivering current fashion, in our New York & Company style, to drive improvement in merchandise margins.  At the same time, we will prudently invest in our brand and future growth,” Mr. Crystal concluded.

Outlook

 

The Company currently believes that the economic environment will remain extremely challenging and has conservatively planned for fiscal year 2009. Given the limited visibility stemming from the volatility of the economy, the Company has chosen, at this time, to suspend earnings per share guidance for the full fiscal year; however, the Company will provide earnings guidance for the Spring season, along with guidance on certain key financial metrics.

 

·                  Comparable store sales for the Spring season are expected to be similar to the trend experienced in the fourth quarter.

 

·                  Gross margins are expected to improve versus the fourth quarter; however, gross margins will be below prior year’s levels.

 

·                  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Spring season are expected to decline versus the prior year reflecting the success of the Company’s cost reduction efforts, partially offset by additional spending to support the Company’s growing E-commerce business.

 

·                  Earnings from continuing operations for the first half of fiscal year 2009 are expected to be approximately breakeven.  First quarter diluted loss per share is expected to be in the high single-digit range, and is expected to be offset by anticipated income in the second quarter.

 

·                  Inventory is expected to be tightly controlled with goods available for sale per average store down in the high single-digits on a percentage basis versus the prior year.

 

·                  Capital expenditures are expected to be $15 million for the full fiscal year versus $45 million in fiscal year 2008.  The Company plans to open three new stores, remodel three existing locations, and close 10 to 15 stores, ending the year with 577 to 582 stores.  Depreciation expense is estimated at $42 million.

 

·                  Cash-on-hand at the end of the Spring season and full fiscal year is expected to increase as compared to the cash position of $54 million at the end of fiscal year 2008.

 

·                  The Company has no outstanding borrowings under its credit facility and does not anticipate the need to use the facility in the Spring season.

 

Share Repurchases

 

As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 3,750,000 shares over a 12-month period ending in November 2009.  Given the Company’s conservative approach to managing liquidity in this uncertain economic environment, the Company has not yet purchased shares under this program.  Repurchases, if any, will be made from time to time in a manner the Company believes is appropriate through open market or private transactions including through pre-established trading plans.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company has provided non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share information for the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2009 in this release, in addition to providing financial results in accordance with GAAP. This information reflects, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, the Company’s operating income, net earnings and earnings per diluted share after excluding the effects of charges incurred in connection with the Company’s recently launched restructuring and cost reduction program in addition to certain one-time charges incurred during the course of fiscal year 2008. This non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP adjusted results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding expenses that the Company believes are not indicative of the Company’s continuing operating results. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or as being superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP information to the Company’s actual results for the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2009 is as follows:
