Financial Overview

          For the quarter, our net sales decreased by $32.2 million, or 21.5%, from $149.5 million for the three months ended February 29, 2008 to $117.3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2009. Our Print sales for the quarter were $73.8 million, compared to $87.6 million for the same quarter last year, or a decrease of 15.8%. Apparel sales for the quarter were $43.6 million, compared to $61.9 million for the same quarter last year, or a decrease of 29.6%. Our overall gross profit margins (“margins”) during the quarter decreased from 26.2% for the three months ended February 29, 2008 to 22.1% for the three months ended February 28, 2009. Our Print margins decreased from 27.6% to 23.7%, while our Apparel margins decreased from 24.2% to 19.3%, for the respective periods. Our earnings (loss) for the quarter decreased from $11.1 million for the three months ended February 29, 2008 to ($62.9) million for the three months ended February 28, 2009, primarily due to a goodwill and trademark impairment charge of $67.9 million relating to our apparel division. Our diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) decreased from $.43 per share to ($2.44) per share for the three months ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2009, respectively. In addition to the impairment charge during the quarter, our apparel division’s operating results were also impacted by additional inventory reserves of approximately $2.0 million relating primarily to their fleece and junior products. Excluding these factors, our earnings for the period would have been approximately $5.9 million, or approximately $.23 per diluted share. Without the impact of these additional reserves, our apparel margins would have been approximately 23.9% for the quarter, which is in line with our apparel’s adjusted fiscal year’s margin of 23.4%.

          Net sales decreased from $610.6 million for the year ended February 29, 2008 to $584.0 million for year ended February 28, 2009, a decrease of $26.6 million or 4.4%. Our Print sales for the year were $327.0 million, compared to $345.0 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $18.0 million or 5.2%. Our Apparel sales decreased from $265.6 million for the year ended February 29, 2008 to $257.0 million for the year ended February 28, 2009, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 3.2%. Our Print margins decreased from 27.2% to 26.1%, while our Apparel margins decreased from 26.4% to 22.6%, for the year ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2009, respectively. Our earnings (loss) for the period decreased from $44.6 million for the year ended February 29, 2008 to ($32.8) million for the year ended February 28, 2009, primarily due to a goodwill and trademarks asset impairment charge of $67.9 million. Our diluted earnings (loss) per share decreased from $1.72 per share to ($1.27) per share for the year ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2009, respectively. Excluding the impairment charge and other items considered extraordinary, our earnings for the year would have been approximately $37.6 million, or $1.46 per diluted share and our reported apparel margins would have been approximately 23.4%.

Keith Walters, Chairman, President & CEO, commented by saying, “The fourth quarter was an extremely difficult quarter. We saw double digit volume declines in both our sectors, which placed pressure on each sectors’ operating margins. Our apparel sector continues to be impacted by the sluggish retail landscape, which contributed to a temporary increase in manufacturers’ inventory levels. This resulted in intensified pricing pressures in the marketplace, from both domestic and international competitors. During the quarter, we commenced cost reduction initiatives in both our sectors and will continue to adjust our costs to coincide with projected volume levels. While the fourth quarter was difficult, we performed better than most of our competition, due to our disciplined approach to business. As we enter fiscal year 2010, the economy and retail continues to be soft, but we are aggressively looking for ways to reduce our costs. In addition, we are moving forward with our apparel expansion plans into Agua Prieta, Mexico, which once completed, should significantly reduce our manufacturing and distribution costs. Overall, fiscal year 2010 is shaping up to be a challenging year as well, but we continue to feel confident in our ability to navigate these challenging times. We enter the year with excellent liquidity, low leverage ratio and a strong balance sheet, which should allow us to take advantage of unique opportunities that a prolonged recession may present.”
