Exhibit 99.1
Gordmans Stores, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2013 Results
First Quarter Diluted EPS of $0.17
Omaha, Nebraska (May 23, 2013) Gordmans Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMAN), an Omaha-based apparel and home décor retailer, today announced results for its first quarter (thirteen weeks) ended May 4, 2013.
First Quarter Highlights
| Three new stores were opened in existing markets in the first quarter as part of our expansion strategy. |
| Diluted earnings per share were $0.17, which exceeded guidance of $0.11 - $0.13. |
The combination of the 10.5% comparable store sales decline we experienced in the first quarter and a lower gross profit margin resulting from additional markdowns to reduce inventory levels negatively impacted our first quarter operating results, commented Jeff Gordman, President and Chief Executive Officer. However, our second quarter is off to a solid start and we believe that the growth initiatives that we have put in place will produce improved comparable store sales as the year progresses. We are looking forward to opening four stores in advance of the back-to-school selling season in Albuquerque, Minot, ND, Milwaukee and Louisville, KY, all new markets for our Company.
First Quarter Financial Results
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 decreased 1.9% to $131.4 million from $133.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. Comparable store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased by 10.5% versus a 4.7% comparable store sales increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Gross profit, which includes license fees, decreased by 7.1% to $59.0 million, or 44.9% of net sales, from $63.5 million, or 47.4% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Selling, general and administrative costs were $53.7 million, or 40.8% of net sales, compared to $50.5 million, or 37.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.1 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 ending August 3, 2013, the Company currently expects net sales to be between $135 and $137 million, which reflect a low single digit comparable store sales decrease. The Company also expects continued pressure on gross profit margins related to inventory recalibration efforts as well as additional selling, general and administrative expenses related to advertising related to our loyalty program, consulting related to store productivity improvements, depreciation and pre-opening compared to the prior year, and therefore projects diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.01 to $0.03 (using a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 19.4 million).
