NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Tilly’s, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on May 4, 2011 for the purpose of reorganizing the corporate structure of World of Jeans & Tops, a California corporation, or WOJT. On May 2, 2012, the shareholders of WOJT contributed all of their shares of common stock to Tilly’s, Inc. in return for shares of Tilly’s, Inc. Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition, effective May 2, 2012, WOJT converted from an “S” Corporation to a “C” Corporation for income tax purposes. These events are collectively referred to as the “Reorganization”. As a result of the Reorganization, WOJT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tilly’s, Inc. Except where context requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms “Company” and “Tilly’s” refers to WOJT before the Reorganization and to Tilly’s, Inc. and its subsidiary, WOJT, after the Reorganization.

Tilly’s operates a chain of specialty retail stores featuring casual clothing, footwear and accessories for teens and young adults. The Company operated a total of 203 and 195 stores as of August 2, 2014 and February 1, 2014, respectively. The stores are located in malls, lifestyle centers, ‘power’ centers, community centers, outlet centers and street-front locations. Customers may also shop online, where the Company features a similar assortment of product as is carried in its brick-and-mortar stores.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, have been omitted from this report as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014.

Fiscal Periods

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to the fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 refer to the thirteen-week periods ended as of those dates.

Correction to the Consolidated Statement of Income

The Company identified a prior period error related to the classification of stock-based compensation. Accordingly, the Company has corrected the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. The Company identified $0.3 million and $0.7 million of stock-based compensation for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, respectively, previously included in selling, general and administrative expenses that should have been presented as a component of cost of goods sold. The error had no impact on the amounts previously reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of comprehensive income, and had no impact on net income. Management has evaluated the materiality of the error quantitatively and qualitatively and has concluded that the correction of this error is immaterial to the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Information regarding significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014.

 

3. Marketable Securities

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as of August 2, 2014 and February 1, 2014, consisted entirely of commercial paper, all of which was less than one year from maturity.

The following table summarizes the Company’s investments in marketable securities at August 2, 2014 and February 1, 2014 (in thousands):

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, the Company recognized gains on investments of $40 thousand and $77 thousand, respectively, for commercial paper which matured during the period. Upon recognition of the gains, the Company reclassified these amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of income.

 

4. Line of Credit

On May 3, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which the Company amended on March 17, 2014 to extend the maturity date, reduce the borrowing rate, eliminate a fee of 0.10% on the average daily unused amount on the line of credit, eliminate certain financial covenants related to current liabilities, funded debt and net profits, and add certain new covenants relating to total net losses and maximum balance sheet leverage. The amended credit facility, which was effective as of February 3, 2014, continues to provide for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit, with a maturity date of May 31, 2017. The interest charged on borrowings is either at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.00%, or at the bank’s prime rate. The Company has the ability to select between the prime rate or LIBOR-based rate at the time of a cash advance. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As a sub-feature under the revolving credit facility, Wells Fargo may issue stand-by and commercial letters of credit up to $15.0 million.

The Company is required to maintain certain financial and nonfinancial covenants in accordance with the revolving credit facility. The financial covenants require certain levels of leverage and profitability, such as (i) an aggregate maximum net loss after taxes not to exceed $5 million (measured at the end of each fiscal quarter), with no more than one annual net loss after taxes for any fiscal year (in either case, excluding all charges for impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and store assets impairment on the Company’s balance sheet, in an aggregate amount of up to $2.0 million for the relevant period), and (ii) a maximum ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 for “balance sheet leverage”, defined as total liabilities divided by total tangible net worth.

Table of Contents

As of August 2, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

 

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. Management is currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of any litigation or claim, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of the uncertainties related to the incurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim. Because of the unpredictable nature of these matters, the Company cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation or claim to which it is a party or that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against it, including those disclosed below, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Kristin Christiansen and Shellie Smith, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated vs. World of Jeans & Tops, Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, Case No. 34-2013-00139010. On January 29, 2013, the plaintiffs in this matter filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company alleging violations of California Civil Code Section 1747.08, which prohibits requesting or requiring personal identification information from a customer paying for goods with a credit card and recording such information, subject to exceptions. In June 2013, the Court granted the Company’s motion to strike portions of the plaintiffs’ complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to amend. Plaintiffs have amended the complaint and discovery is in the early stages. The complaint seeks certification of a class, unspecified damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.

On December 5, 2012, the plaintiff in this matter filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company alleging violations of California’s wage and hour, meal break and rest break rules and regulations, and unfair competition law, among other things. An amended complaint was filed on February 28, 2013, to include enforcement of California’s private attorney general act. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and penalties. In April 2013, the Company filed a motion to compel arbitration, which was denied in May 2013 and affirmed on appeal. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC 820, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 established the following three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

    Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 3 – Unobservable inputs (i.e. projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including its marketable securities, which are classified as available-for-sale securities, and certain cash equivalents, specifically money market accounts. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The marketable securities are valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third party entities.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, the Company did not make any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets. Furthermore, as of August 2, 2014 and February 1, 2014, the Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets. The Company conducts reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity, and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure.

From time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, specifically long-lived assets evaluated for impairment. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-lived assets using company-specific assumptions which would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company categorized its financial assets based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique for the instruments as follows (in thousands):

 

     August 2, 2014      February 1, 2014  
     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Level 1      Level 2      Level 3

7. Stock-Based Compensation

On March 24, 2014, the Company granted stock options to purchase a total of 812,500 shares of Class A common stock under the Tilly’s 2012 Equity and Incentive Award Plan, or the 2012 Plan. The exercise price of these awards is $12.31, which was the closing price of Tilly’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. These stock options vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the respective award recipient continues to be employed by the Company through each of those vesting dates.

 

11


Table of Contents

The total grant date fair value of stock options granted during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 was $34 thousand and $4.3 million, respectively, before applying an estimated forfeiture rate. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the four year service period of the awards.

The stock option awards discussed above were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield, if any. The Company’s estimate of pre-vesting forfeitures, or forfeiture rate, was based on its internal analysis, which included the award recipients’ positions within the Company and the vesting period of the awards. The Company will issue shares of Class A common stock when the options are exercised.

The fair value of stock options granted during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 was estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions:

(1) The Company has limited historical information regarding expected option term. Accordingly, the Company determined the expected option term of the awards using historical data available from comparable public companies and management’s expectation of exercise behavior.
(2) Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s competitors’ common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the Company’s awards.
(3) The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term as the expected life of the stock option as of the grant date.

Table of Contents

On June 11, 2014, the Company granted 9,674 restricted shares of Class A common stock to each of its four independent directors under the 2012 Plan. These shares vest in two equal annual installments beginning on June 11, 2015, provided that the respective award recipient continues to serve on the Company’s board of directors through each of those vesting dates. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $0.3 million. The Company is recognizing the expense related to these awards on a straight-line basis over the two-year service period commencing on the grant date.

On June 11, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Tilly’s 2012 Equity and Incentive Award Plan, or the Amended Plan, which increases the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 1,500,000 shares, from 2,913,900 shares to a total of 4,413,900 shares, of which 2,322,601 shares were still available for issuance as of August 2, 2014. The Company recorded a total of $1.1 million and $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, respectively. At August 2, 2014, there was $8.8 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and restricted stock grants. This cost has a weighted average remaining recognition period of 2.7 years.

 

8. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse. Because management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the full amount of the net deferred tax assets, the Company has not recorded any valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets.

The provision for income taxes for interim periods is based on an estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Significant management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income (loss) to estimate the Company’s annual effective tax rate.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, was 45.7% and 45.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rates reflect the write-off of deferred tax assets related to the forfeiture of vested stock options in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014, which represent discrete items.

 

9. Earnings Per Share

Net income per share is computed under the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds from such exercise, unamortized compensation and hypothetical excess tax benefits, if any, on share-based awards are assumed to be used by the Company to purchase the common shares at the average market price during the period. Dilutive potential common shares represent outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards. The components of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Overview

Tilly’s is a fast-growing destination specialty retailer of West Coast inspired apparel, footwear and accessories. We believe we bring together an unparalleled selection of the most sought-after brands rooted in action sports, music, art and fashion. Our West Coast heritage dates back to 1982 when Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine opened our first store in Orange County, California. As of August 2, 2014, we operated 203 stores, averaging 7,700 square feet, in 33 states. We also sell our products through our e-commerce website, www.tillys.com (the information available at our website is not incorporated by reference into this report).

Net sales increased slightly compared to last year to $123.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $123.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. Operating income decreased 68%, to $2.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $7.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, primarily due to a decline in our comparable store sales and increased occupancy and payroll costs related to store growth. Our comparable store sales decreased 7.1% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014, which followed a 1.9% decrease for the full fiscal year 2013 and compares to a 0.5% decrease in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Since the beginning of fiscal 2009, we have more than doubled our store count from 99 stores to 203 stores as of August 2, 2014. As of August 2, 2014, we have added eight net new stores in fiscal year 2014 and plan to add at least ten additional net stores by the end of the fiscal year. We expect to fund this store expansion through our cash on hand and cash flows from operations.

We believe our business strategy will continue to offer significant opportunity, but it also presents risks and challenges. These risks and challenges include, but are not limited to, that we may not be able to effectively identify and respond to changing fashion trends and customer preferences, that we may not be able to find desirable locations

for new stores and that we may not be able to effectively manage our future growth. In addition, our financial results can be expected to be directly impacted by trends in the general economy. A decline in consumer spending or a substantial increase in product costs due to commodity cost increases or general inflation could lead to a reduction in our sales as well as greater margin pressure as costs may not be able to be passed on to consumers and the competitive environment could become more highly promotional. See “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 for other important factors that could adversely impact us and our results of operations.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators of the financial condition and operating performance of our business are net sales, comparable store sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and operating income.

Net Sales

Net sales reflect revenue from the sale of our merchandise at store locations as well as sales of merchandise through our e-commerce store, which is reflected in sales when the merchandise is received by the customer. Net sales also include shipping and handling fees for e-commerce shipments that have been delivered to the customer. Net sales are net of returns on sales during the period as well as an estimate of returns expected in the future stemming from current period sales. Revenue from the sale of gift cards is deferred and not included in net sales until the gift cards are used to purchase merchandise. However, over time, the redemption of some gift cards becomes remote (referred to as gift card breakage). Revenue from estimated gift card breakage is also included in net sales.

Our business is seasonal and as a result our revenues fluctuate from quarter to quarter. In addition, our revenues in any given quarter can be affected by a number of factors including the timing of holidays and weather patterns. The third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, which include the back-to-school and holiday sales seasons, have historically produced stronger sales and disproportionately stronger operating results than have the first two quarters of the fiscal year.

Comparable Store Sales

A store is included in comparable store sales when it has been open at least 12 full fiscal months as of the end of the current reporting period. A remodeled or relocated store is included in comparable store sales, both during and after construction, if the square footage of the store was not changed by more than 20% and the store was not closed for more than five days in any fiscal month. Comparable store sales include sales through our e-commerce store, but exclude gift card breakage income and e-commerce shipping and handling fee revenue. Some of our competitors and other retailers may calculate comparable or “same store” sales differently than we do. As a result, data in this report regarding our comparable store sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other retailers.

Measuring the change in year-over-year comparable store sales allows us to evaluate how our store base is performing. Numerous factors affect our comparable store sales, including:

 

    overall economic trends;

 

    our ability to identify and respond effectively to consumer preferences and fashion trends;

 

    competition;

 

    the timing of our releases of new and seasonal styles;

 

    changes in our product mix;

 

    pricing;

 

    the level of customer service that we provide in stores;

 

    our ability to source and distribute products efficiently;

 

    calendar shifts of holiday or seasonal periods;

 

    the number and timing of store openings and the relative proportion of new stores to mature stores; and

 

    the timing and success of promotional and advertising efforts.

 

16


Table of Contents

Opening new stores is an important part of our growth strategy and we expect a significant percentage of our net sales during this growth period to come from non-comparable store sales. Accordingly, comparable store sales are only one element we use to assess the success of our business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to our net sales less our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold reflects the direct cost of purchased merchandise as well as buying, distribution and occupancy costs. Buying costs include compensation expense for our internal buying organization. Distribution costs include costs for receiving, processing, warehousing and shipping of merchandise to or from our distribution center, to our e-commerce customers and between store locations. Occupancy costs include the rent, common area maintenance, utilities, property taxes, security, and depreciation costs of all store locations. These costs are significant and can be expected to continue to increase as our company grows. The components of our reported cost of goods sold may not be comparable to those of other retail companies.

We regularly analyze the components of gross profit as well as gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Specifically we look at the initial markup on purchases, markdowns and reserves, shrinkage, buying costs, distribution costs and occupancy costs. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups, a significant increase in our use of markdowns or a significant increase in inventory shrinkage or inability to generate sufficient sales leverage on the buying, distribution and occupancy components of cost of goods sold could have an adverse impact on our gross profit and results of operations.

Gross profit is also impacted by shifts in the proportion of sales of proprietary branded products compared to third-party branded products, as well as by sales mix shifts within and between brands and between major product categories such as guys’ and juniors’ apparel, footwear or accessories. A substantial shift in the mix of products could have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, gross profit and gross profit as a percent of sales have historically been higher in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, as these periods include the back-to-school and winter holiday selling seasons. This reflects that various costs, including occupancy costs, generally do not increase in proportion to the seasonal sales increase.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses are composed of store selling expenses and corporate-level general and administrative expenses. Store selling expenses include store and regional support costs, including personnel, advertising and debit and credit card processing costs, e-commerce processing costs and store supplies costs. General and administrative expenses include the payroll and support costs of corporate functions such as executive management, legal, accounting, information systems, human resources and other centralized services. Store selling expenses generally vary proportionately with net sales and store growth. In contrast, general and administrative expenses are generally not directly proportional to net sales and store growth, but will be expected to increase over time to support the needs of our growing company. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales are usually higher in lower volume periods and lower in higher volume periods.

The components of our SG&A expenses may not be comparable to those of other retailers. We expect that our SG&A expenses will increase in future periods due to our continuing store growth and in part due to additional legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses we incur as a result of being a public company. Among other things, we expect that ongoing compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules and regulations could result in significant incremental legal, accounting and other overhead costs.

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 2, 2014 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended August 3, 2013

Net Sales

Net sales increased slightly to $123.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $123.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. A portion of this increase was due to net sales of $8.8 million from stores open in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 that were not open during the same period last year. This was offset by a comparable store net sales decrease of 7.1%, or $8.6 million, in the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 compared to the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. Net sales decreases in men’s and accessories were higher than the total company trend, while declines in junior’s, kid’s and footwear were below the trend. There were 177 comparable brick-and-mortar stores and 26 non-comparable brick-and-mortar stores open as of August 2, 2014.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $3.2 million, or 9%, to $34.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $37.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 28.2% and 30.8% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to occupancy costs increasing at a higher rate than net sales and a 40 basis point decrease in product margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses increased $1.6 million, or 5%, to $32.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $30.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 26.3% and 24.9% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

Selling expenses increased $2.0 million, or 9%, to $23.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $21.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 18.8% and 17.2% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

The following contributed to the increase in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales:

 

    store, regional and e-commerce fulfillment payroll, payroll benefits and related personnel costs increased $2.6 million, or 2.1% as a percentage of net sales, as these costs increased at a higher rate than net sales primarily due to the addition of new stores and a relatively small increase in net sales and e-commerce fulfillment labor costs being reclassified into selling expenses from general and administrative expenses; partially offset by

 

    marketing costs, supplies and other store support costs decreased $0.6 million, or 0.5% as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to lower catalog and promotional spend compared to last year.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 4%, to $9.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $9.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 7.5% and 7.7% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

The following contributed to the decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales:

 

    payroll, payroll benefits and related costs for corporate office personnel decreased $1.1 million, which represents a decrease of 0.9% as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to e-commerce fulfillment labor costs being reclassified to selling expenses, partially offset by

 

    ongoing stock-based compensation increased $0.3 million, or 0.2%, as a percentage of net sales; and

 

    depreciation, consulting and other office expenses increased $0.4 million, or 0.3% as a percentage of net sales, due to the growth of the company.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $4.9 million, or 68%, to $2.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $7.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 1.9% and 5.8% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to occupancy and store payroll costs increasing at a higher rate than net sales, as discussed above.

Other Income / Expense, Net

Net other income was four thousand compared to expense of $47 thousand for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. Net other income reflects interest income earned on cash balances and on tenant construction allowances due from landlords, partially offset by interest expense paid on the capitalized lease of our corporate office and distribution center.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Income taxes were $1.1 million and $2.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. This reflects effective tax rates of 45.7% and 40.3% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the thirteen week period ended August 2, 2014 over the prior period reflects the write-off of deferred tax assets related to the forfeiture of certain vested stock options in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Net Income

Net income decreased $3.0 million, or 70%, to $1.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $4.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, due to the factors discussed above.

Basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A and Class B common stock decreased 67% to $0.05 for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $0.15 for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 2, 2014 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 3, 2013

Net Sales

Net sales increased $2.0 million, or 0.9%, to $234.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $232.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. A portion of this increase was due to net sales of $18.5 million from stores open in the first half of fiscal 2014 that were not open during the same period last year. This was partially offset by a comparable store net sales decrease of 6.9%, or $15.8 million, in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. Net sales decreases in men’s, accessories and footwear were higher than the total company trend, while declines in junior’s and kid’s were lower than the company trend. There were 177 comparable brick-and-mortar stores and 26 non-comparable brick-and-mortar stores open as of August 2, 2014.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $3.7 million, or 5%, to $66.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $69.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 28.2% and 30.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to occupancy costs increasing at a higher rate than net sales, partially offset by approximately 10 basis points of product margin improvement.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses increased $4.0 million, or 7%, to $62.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $58.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 26.7% and 25.2% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

Selling expenses increased $4.4 million, or 11%, to $44.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $40.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 18.9% and 17.2% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

The following contributed to the increase in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales:

 

    store, regional and e-commerce fulfillment payroll, payroll benefits and related personnel costs increased $4.7 million, or 1.9% as a percentage of net sales, as these costs increased at a higher rate than net sales primarily due to the addition of new stores and a relatively small increase in net sales and e-commerce fulfillment labor costs being reclassified into selling expenses from general and administrative expenses; partially offset by

 

    marketing costs, supplies and other store support costs decreased $0.3 million, which represents a decrease of 0.2% as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to lower net catalog and promotional spend compared to last year.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million to $18.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $18.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 7.8% and 8.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

The following contributed to the decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales:

 

    payroll, payroll benefits and related costs for corporate office personnel decreased $1.8 million, which represents a decrease of 0.8% as a percentage of net sales, mostly due to e-commerce fulfillment labor costs being reclassified to selling expenses; partially offset by

 

    ongoing stock-based compensation increased $0.5 million, or 0.2%, as a percentage of net sales; and

 

    depreciation, consulting and other office expenses increased $0.9 million, or 0.4% as a percentage of net sales, due to the growth of the company.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $7.7 million, or 69%, to $3.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $11.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 1.5% and 4.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to occupancy and store payroll costs increasing at a higher rate than net sales, as discussed above.

Other Income / Expense, Net

Net other income was three thousand compared to expense of $96 thousand for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. Net other income reflects interest income earned on cash balances and on tenant construction allowances due from landlords, partially offset by interest expense paid on a capitalized lease of our corporate office and distribution center.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Income taxes were $1.6 million and $4.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. This reflects effective tax rates of 45.5% and 40.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the twenty-six week period ended August 2, 2014 over the prior period reflects the write-off of deferred tax assets related to the forfeiture of certain vested stock options in both the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014.

Net Income

Net income decreased $4.7 million, or 71%, to $1.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $6.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, due to the factors discussed above.

Basic earnings per share of Class A and Class B common stock decreased 71%, to $0.07 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $0.24 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. Diluted earnings per share of Class A and Class B common stock decreased 70%, to $0.07 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 from $0.23 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our business relies on cash flows from operating activities as well as cash on hand as our primary sources of liquidity. In addition, we have access to additional liquidity through a $25.0 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. We have never drawn funds from or issued letters of credit financing from the revolving credit facility and do not expect to draw from the revolving credit facility over the next 12 months. We expect to finance company operations and store growth with existing cash on hand, marketable securities and cash flows from operations.

Historically our primary cash needs have been for merchandise inventories, payroll, store rent, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores, improvements to our distribution facilities, marketing and information technology expenditures. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the most significant components of our working capital are merchandise inventories, accounts payable and other current liabilities. We believe that cash flows from operating activities, the availability of cash under our revolving credit facility, if necessary, and our cash and marketable securities on hand will be sufficient to cover working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. If cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility are not sufficient to meet our capital requirements, then we will be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us when we need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our then-current stockholders.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items that include depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes and gains or losses on disposals of assets, plus the effect on changes during the period in our assets and liabilities.

We generated $11.7 million of net cash from operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. The significant components of cash flows from operating activities were net income of $1.9 million and the add-back of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $10.2 million, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1.9 million and the change in deferred income taxes of $0.3 million. In addition, accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $25.3 million, and accrued compensation and benefits increased $0.8 million due to the timing of payments. The above was offset by an increase in merchandise inventories of $24.1 million due to inventory purchases in anticipation of the upcoming back-to-school season and the opening of new stores, an increase in receivables of $1.8 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.4 million due to the redemption of gift cards throughout the period and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.3 million.

We generated $17.2 million of net cash from operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. The significant components of cash flows from operating activities were net income of $6.6 million, the add-back of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $9.4 million, non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period of $1.7 million and the change in deferred income taxes of $0.6 million. In addition, accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $20.9 million due to the timing of payments, and

Table of Contents

deferred rent increased by $3.8 million due to the opening of new stores. The above was offset by a decrease in accrued compensation and benefits of $0.8 million due to reduced bonus accruals, an increase in merchandise inventories of $16.8 million due to inventory purchases in anticipation of the upcoming back-to-school season and the opening of new stores, an increase in receivables of $5.0 million due to the timing of payments received from credit card companies and landlord construction allowances, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.8 million mainly due to increases in prepaid rent resulting from the opening of new stores and a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.3 million due to the redemption of gift cards throughout the period.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures for growth related to new store openings as well as for remodels and changes in fixtures and equipment at existing stores, investments in information technology, distribution center enhancements, investments in assets at our corporate headquarters and the addition or replacement of company vehicles, net of proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, compared to net cash used of $13.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. We received proceeds of $35.0 million from the maturities of marketable securities and purchased $25.0 million of marketable securities during the period. Capital expenditures for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 totaled $14.6 million, the majority of which related to stores and our new e-commerce fulfillment center. Spending on new stores and the remodeling or other improvements of existing stores were $8.9 million and $14.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

Financing activities consist of payments on our capital lease obligation, proceeds from the exercise of stock options and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.2 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014, consisting of payments on our capital lease obligation totaling $0.4 million partially offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, consisting of $0.5 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by payments on our capital lease obligation totaling $0.4 million during the period.

Line of Credit

On May 3, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which the Company amended on March 17, 2014 to extend the maturity date, reduce the borrowing rate, eliminate a fee of 0.10% on the average daily unused amount on the line of credit, eliminate certain financial covenants related to current liabilities, funded debt and net profits, and add certain new covenants relating to total net losses and maximum balance sheet leverage. The amended credit facility, which was effective as of February 3, 2014, continues to provide for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of May 31, 2017. The interest charged on borrowings is either at LIBOR plus 1.00%, or at the bank’s prime rate. The Company has the ability to select between the prime rate or LIBOR-based rate at the time of a cash advance. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As a sub-feature under the revolving credit facility the bank may issue stand-by and commercial letters of credit up to $15.0 million.

The Company is required to maintain certain financial and nonfinancial covenants in accordance with the revolving credit facility. The financial covenants require certain levels of leverage and profitability, such as (i) an aggregate maximum net loss after taxes not to exceed $5 million (measured at the end of each fiscal quarter), with no more than one annual net loss after taxes for any fiscal year (in either case, excluding all charges for impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and store assets impairment on the balance sheet of WOJT, in an aggregate amount of up to $2.0 million for the relevant period), and (ii) a maximum ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 for “balance sheet leverage”, defined as total liabilities divided by total tangible net worth.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, some of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of Tilly’s, Inc. in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014.

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies and estimates are considered critical, as these policies and estimates are the most important to the depiction of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of August 2, 2014, there were no material changes in the market risks described in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Disclosure Committee, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 2, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 2, 2014, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls

can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. Management is currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of any litigation or claim, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of the uncertainties related to the incurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim. Because of the unpredictable nature of these matters, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation or claim to which it is a party or that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against it, including those disclosed below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. See “Risk Factors” in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 for important factors that could adversely impact us and our results of operations.

Kristin Christiansen and Shellie Smith, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated vs. World of Jeans & Tops, Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, Case No. 34-2013-00139010. On January 29, 2013, the plaintiffs in this matter filed a putative class action lawsuit against us alleging violations of California Civil Code Section 1747.08, which prohibits requesting or requiring personal identification information from a customer paying for goods with a credit card and recording such information, subject to exceptions. In June 2013, the Court granted our motion to strike portions of the plaintiffs’ complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to amend. Plaintiffs have amended the complaint and discovery is in the early stages. The complaint seeks certification of a class, unspecified damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. We intend to defend this case vigorously.

Maria Rebolledo, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated and on behalf of the general public vs. Tilly’s, Inc.; World of Jeans & Tops, Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2012-00616290-CU-OE-CXC. On December 5, 2012, the plaintiff in this matter filed a putative class action lawsuit against us alleging violations of California’s wage and hour, meal break and rest break rules and regulations, and unfair competition law, among other things. An amended complaint was filed on February 28, 2013, to include enforcement of California’s private attorney general act. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and penalties. In April 2013, we filed a motion to compel arbitration, which was denied in May 2013. We have appealed the denial of the motion to compel arbitration. We intend to defend this case vigorously.

Karina Whitten, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, v. Tilly’s Inc., Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No, BC 548252. On June 10, 2014, plaintiff filed a putative class action and representative Private Attorney General Act lawsuit against us alleging violations of California’s wage and hour, meal break and rest break rules and regulations, and unfair competition law, among other things. The complaint seeks class certification, penalties, restitution, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. The case is currently stayed pending a case management conference in September 2014. We intend to defend the case vigorously.
