Year Ended January 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended February 1, 2003

 

Net sales increased by 4.5%, or $7.6 million, from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2004 with comparable store sales up 3.7%. This increase was due to growth in average sale and in higher sales of suits, furnishings and shoes. Alteration revenues, included in net sales, were $7.5 million and $6.4 million in fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. During fiscal 2004 the Company opened eleven new stores, and closed nine under-performing stores (four of which were relocations). There were 238 stores in operation as of January 31, 2004 versus 236 at the end of the prior year.

 

Cost of sales in fiscal 2004 was 54.2% of net sales compared to 53.7% of net sales in fiscal 2003. The 0.5% of net sales increase was primarily due to higher levels of promotional and seasonal markdowns in fiscal 2004 designed to increase store traffic.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2004 were 41.3% of net sales compared to 41.8% of net sales in fiscal 2003. This 0.5% of net sales decrease was due primarily to lower advertising costs and better leveraging of fixed occupancy costs on higher sales compared to last year which more than offset increases in store payrolls, group health claims and a $507,000 non-cash accrual for performance awards.

 

Interest expense in fiscal 2004 was $458,000 or 0.2% of net sales compared to $439,000 or 0.3% of net sales in fiscal 2003. Fiscal 2004 included a full year of interest expense related to the new Credit Facility while fiscal 2003 expense originated after the April 26, 2002 tender offer.

 

Other income, net in fiscal 2003 included income from an insurance claim of approximately $132,000, or $82,000 after tax.

 


Year Ended February 1, 2003 Compared to Year Ended February 2, 2002

 

Net sales increased by 1%, or $1.7 million, from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003 with comparable store sales up 1%. Alteration revenues, included in net sales, were $6.4 million and $6.1 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. During fiscal 2003 the Company opened nine new stores and closed ten under-performing stores (four of which were relocations).

 

Cost of sales in fiscal 2003 was 53.7% of net sales compared to 53.4% of net sales in fiscal 2002. The 0.3% of net sales increase was primarily due to taking a higher level of promotional markdowns to increase store traffic and, to a lesser degree, higher freight and buying and occupancy costs as a component of cost of sales compared to the prior year.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2003 were 41.8% of net sales compared to 41.6% of net sales in fiscal 2002. This 0.2% of net sales increase was due primarily to a combination of higher incentive bonus payments and significantly higher rates for casualty insurance, offset in part by lower advertising expense.

 

Interest expense in fiscal 2003 was 0.3% of net sales compared to 0.2% of net sales in fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2003 includes incremental interest expense of approximately $253,000 related to the new Credit Facility (see Note 4 to the Financial Statements) and was partially offset primarily by lower interest rates compared to the prior year.

 

Other income, net included income from unrelated insurance claims of $132,000, or $82,000 after tax, in fiscal 2003 and $525,000, or $325,000 after tax, in fiscal 2002.

 

Performance Awards

 

Under the provisions of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a grant of approximately 324,000 Performance Awards to twenty officers of the Company in March 2003. The Company believes that the long-term incentive provided by Performance Awards will help continue to retain key employees and better align shareholder and employee interests than the previous practice of granting stock options. The Performance Awards will be earned dependent on the level of earnings growth for the four-year period beginning February 2, 2003 and ending February 3, 2007. Each Performance Award, if earned, will entitle the recipient to receive a share of the Company’s common stock.

 

None of the Performance Awards will be earned if the officer is no longer employed on February 3, 2007, or if the four-year compound annual pre-tax earnings growth (“CAGR”) is below 10%. Half of the Performance Awards will be earned if the Company achieves four-year CAGR of 10% and all will be earned at 20% or higher CAGR. Should the four-year compound annual pre-tax earnings growth be between 10% and 20%, the Performance Awards will be earned on a pro rata basis. Achievement of CAGR goals is determined on a pre-tax basis prior to any expenses related to the Performance Awards. See table below.

 

During the four-year period, the Company will determine the degree to which the Performance Awards should be accrued and record the appropriate stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123. The Company’s current assessment of the achievement of CAGR goals is 16% and accordingly a related expense of $507,000 was accrued for fiscal 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

In fiscal 2004, the Company funded its operating activities, including capital expenditures for the opening of new stores, from internally generated funds and from bank borrowings. During fiscal 2004, the Company opened eleven new stores and closed nine under-performing stores (four of which were relocations). The closed locations had not met the Company’s sales and profitability expectations. During fiscal 2005 the Company believes it will open approximately 10-15 new stores and close or relocate approximately five other locations. The Company does not expect this activity to significantly impact liquidity or capital resources, including its debt covenants, during fiscal 2005.

 

Operating activities provided net cash of $4.4 million, $10.8 million and $13.4 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The change between fiscal 2004 and 2003 related primarily to the year over year fluctuation in the levels of accounts payable which increased by $0.4 million in fiscal 2004 versus $5.7 million in fiscal 2003. The change between fiscal 2003 and 2002 was primarily related to the year over year fluctuations in the levels of inventory and accounts payable. Merchandise inventories increased by $1.5 million during fiscal 2003 while they had decreased by $6.8 million during fiscal 2002. The changes in the levels of payables resulted from the timing of merchandise receipts and cash payments.

 

Investing activities provided net cash of $0.1 million in fiscal 2004 while it used net cash of $2.6 million and $3.4 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Capital expenditures of $3.2 million, $2.2 million and $2.9 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were primarily for the purpose of store expansion, including relocations and remodelings, and technology related purchases. In fiscal 2004 the Company received $3.5 million upon the repayment of accumulated premiums under the split dollar life insurance policies as discussed in footnote 5.

 

Financing activities used net cash of $7.3 million, $7.3 million and $8.1 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During fiscal 2003, the Company completed a tender offer under which it purchased approximately 1.6 million shares at $11.00 per share for approximately $17.1 million. The tender offer and the payoff of a previously outstanding Industrial Development Bond was financed under a new $46.0 million Credit Facility with two banks (see Note 4 to the Financial Statements). During fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company re-paid approximately $6.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, under this Credit Facility. Financing activities in fiscal 2002 primarily related to fluctuations in the borrowing levels under the Company’s previous revolving credit agreements, (which had an aggregate borrowing capacity of $40.0 million) and included the repurchase of the Company’s common stock of $0.3 million. At the end of fiscal 2004, the Company had the entire $26.0 million available for use under the revolving loan portion of the Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants.

OTHER MATTERS

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Although the estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may under take in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, including the use of estimates, are summarized in Note 1 of the Company’s Financial Statements.

 


Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and the results of operations; require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgements; and involve uncertainties. The Company’s most critical accounting policies pertain to revenue recognition, inventories and stock-based compensation. Management must use informed judgements and best estimates to properly apply these critical accounting policies. Because of the uncertainty of these estimates, actual results could differ from estimates used in applying the critical accounting policies. The Company is not aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances which would result in different amounts being reported that would materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

 

The Company has reclassified alteration revenues and related expenses to net sales and cost of sales, respectively. Alteration revenues and related costs had historically been netted against selling, general and administrative expenses. Alteration revenues reclassified to net sales for the last three fiscal years were approximately $7.5 million, $6.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Alteration related expenses reclassified to cost of sales were approximately $6.7 million, $6.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

 

In early 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (Revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106.” SFAS No. 132 revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. Additionally SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which provides the accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets was effective for the Company’s 2004 fiscal year. Also in December 2003 the FASB issued a revision to its previously issued FIN No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” FIN No. 46-R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. The adoption of SFAS No. 149, SFAS No. 132, SFAS No. 143 and FIN No. 46-R did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) addressed EITF Statement No. 02-16 (“EITF 02-16”), “Accounting by a Reseller for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor.” EITF 02-16 provides accounting guidance on how a reseller should characterize consideration given by a vendor and when to recognize and how to measure that consideration in its income statement. Adoption of EITF 02-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have transactions, arrangements or relationships with “special purpose” entities. Except for Letters of Credit approximating $1.7 million, which expire July 2004, the Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s bank credit facilities bear interest at variable rates, which expose the Company to risk from interest rate fluctuations. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, the effect on net income and cash flows would not be material.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause the Company’s actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted or expected results. Those risks include, among other things, the competitive environment in the value-priced men’s apparel industry in general and in the Company’s specific market area, inflation, changes in costs of goods and services, economic conditions in general and in the Company’s specific market area. Those and other risks are more fully described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Principal Business

 

S&K Famous Brands, Inc. (the Company) operates in one segment, the retail sale of menswear, including tailored clothing, furnishings, sportswear, shoes and accessories. The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period, which ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal years ended January 31, 2004 (fiscal 2004), February 1, 2003 (fiscal 2003), and February 2, 2002 (fiscal 2002) were 52-week periods.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassification of alteration revenues and related expenses to net sales and cost of sales had the effect of increasing net sales by $7.5 million, $6.4 million and $6.1 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and increasing cost of sales by $6.7 million, $6.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not expect the differences, if any, to have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and marketable securities with original maturities of 90 days or less.

 

Merchandise Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed using both straight- line and accelerated methods over the estimated service lives which are between 25 and 40 years for buildings and between three and seven years for fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over an eight-year period.

 

The Company annually evaluates long-lived assets for any impairment through the evaluation of the recoverability of its property and equipment based on the utilization of assets and expected cash flows. This evaluation has not resulted in adjustments to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Repair and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale of an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are written off and any gain or loss is recognized in other income, net.

 

Other Assets

 

In fiscal 2004 other assets consist primarily of cash surrender value related to various life insurance policies. In fiscal 2003, in addition to the cash surrender value, it also included receivables from certain officers under split dollar life insurance policies, in total aggregating $6.7 million.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes sales, net of returns and exclusive of sales taxes related to merchandise sold at the point of sale when title passes to the customer. Additionally, alteration revenues and revenues related to tuxedo rentals are included in sales. Merchandise vendor allowances are recognized in the period in which the related merchandise is sold and are taken as a reduction of cost of sales.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the advertisement initially runs. Advertising expense of $11.9 million, $12.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively, was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in each of the last three fiscal years. Deferred advertising costs related to future programs included in the balance sheets approximated $100,000 in each year.

 


Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of stock options, and beginning in fiscal 2004, the dilutive effect of performance awards. There were no anti-dilutive options outstanding during fiscal 2004. Anti-dilutive stock options representing common stock which were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2003 and 2002 were 51,700 and 118,000, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” on a prospective basis for all new grants of equity instruments (which would include performance awards and stock options) effective February 2, 2003. Prior to fiscal 2004, the Company accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25) and related interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was included in the fiscal 2003 or 2002 Statements of Income. See Note 6 for disclosures related to the Company’s Stock Incentive and Stock Purchase Loan Plans. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

Accounting Pronouncements

 

In early 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (Revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106.” SFAS No. 132 revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. Additionally SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which provides the accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets was effective for the Company’s 2004 fiscal year. Also in December 2003 the FASB issued a revision to its previously issued FIN No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN No. 46-R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. The adoption of SFAS No. 149, SFAS No. 132, SFAS No. 143 and FIN No. 46-R did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 


In February 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) addressed EITF Statement No. 02-16 (“EITF 02-16”), “Accounting by a Reseller for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor.” EITF 02-16 provides accounting guidance on how a reseller should characterize consideration given by a vendor and when to recognize and how to measure that consideration in its income statement. Adoption of EITF 02-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 2 - Merchandise Inventories:

 

Inventories are costed using an average cost method, under which the Company tracks inventory costs for approximately 100 inventory categories, which are used to classify its inventory. The Company’s slow moving inventory allowance and shrinkage reserve approximated $245,000 and $281,000, respectively, at January 31, 2004 and $235,000 and $275,000, respectively, at February 1, 2003.

 

The Company capitalizes certain buying, holding and distribution costs to inventory, which at the end of the last two fiscal years were approximately $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Buying, holding and distribution costs charged to cost of sales in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $4.7 million, $4.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

On April 26, 2002, the Company purchased approximately 1.6 million shares of its common stock at $11.00 per share under a tender offer and financed it through available cash and a new credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from two banks including a line of credit and term loan. The Credit Facility also provided for an operating revolving loan for working capital needs in the principal amount of $26.0 million; at January 31, 2004, no amounts were outstanding on this revolving loan.

 


The Credit Facility, which matures in 2007, is collateralized by liens on the Company’s inventory and the Company’s headquarters property and adjacent store. Monthly principal payments on the term loan began in July 2002 and quarterly principal reductions on the line of credit loan began in May 2003. In addition, on January 29, 2004 the balance of approximately $4.0 million on the line of credit was paid off and $.8 million was paid on the term loan. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR (1.07% at January 31, 2004), payable monthly. The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends and to repurchase its capital stock. The Company is presently in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Facility.

 

As of January 31, 2004, the Company had $4.6 million outstanding under the term loan with maturities for the next four years estimated at $.4 million, $.4 million, $.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

 

Note 5 - Profit Sharing and Other Benefit Programs:

 

The Company maintains a noncontributory profit sharing plan for all employees who meet age and service requirements. Contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Board of Directors and were $50,000, in each of the last three fiscal years.

 

Additionally, the profit sharing plan includes a qualified salary reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible participants in the Company’s 401(k) Plan can elect to invest 1% to 100% of their pre-tax earnings. The Company’s contribution to the 401(k) Plan is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, who authorized contributions of the Company’s common stock in the amount of $150,000 in each of the last three fiscal years. These contributions are paid into the plan within 60 days of fiscal year end.

 

Included in other assets at the end of fiscal 2003 was receivables from certain officers (aggregating $3,499,000) which represented accumulated premiums paid on split dollar life insurance policies through July 2002, when the Company ceased premium payments. Cash surrender values of the related policies (aggregating $3,872,000) were pledged as collateral for these receivables. On December 10, 2003, the officers repaid to the Company all of the accumulated premiums and the collateral assignments thereunder were released.

 

Other long-term liabilities consist of unfunded deferred compensation agreements with certain officers which provide a fixed level of retirement benefits to be paid based on age and years of service. Deferred compensation expense is being accrued over the vesting period using a discount rate of 8% and approximated $81,000, $134,000 and $127,000, respectively, in each of the last three fiscal years.

 

Note 6 - Stock Incentive and Stock Purchase Loan Plans:

 

Prior to fiscal 2004, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans, which consisted of stock option grants under the provisions of APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Effective February 2, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 was adopted on a prospective basis for all awards granted after February 2, 2003. No stock-based compensation expense was reflected in the fiscal 2003 or 2002 Statements of Income.

 

Under the provisions of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a grant of approximately 324,000 Performance Awards to twenty officers of the Company in March 2003. The Performance Awards are earned dependent on the Company achieving a four-year annual compound pre-tax earnings growth of 10% or higher beginning February 2, 2003 and ending February 3, 2007. Each Performance Award, if earned, will entitle the recipient to receive a share of the Company’s common stock. None of the Performance Awards will be earned if the officer is no longer employed or if the earnings growth is not achieved. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company accrued related compensation expense of $507,000 in fiscal 2004.

 

The Company’s stock incentive plan also provides for the granting of up to 400,000 common shares to key management employees. Options to purchase the Company’s stock are granted with an exercise price not less than the market value at the date of grant, are exercisable after one to five years and expire after eight years. There were no options granted in fiscal 2004 or 2003. Prior to fiscal 2004, the Company had applied the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by ABP No. 25, in accounting for its stock options. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any related compensation expense in its Statements of Income for those grants.

Under the Company’s Stock Purchase Loan Plan, the Company has full recourse loans with twelve officers approximating $1.1 million, gross of amounts accrued for principal forgiveness. The Plan annually provides for reduction of a portion of interest payable on the loans based on meeting certain operating targets, as well as the opportunity for the officer to receive a reduction of a portion of the principal balance of the loan if the officer remains an employee of the Company for seven years and maintains ownership of the stock. Compensation expense related to this program was $31,000, $41,000 and $92,000 for the last three fiscal years, respectively. At the end of fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company has accrued interest receivable from these officers in the amount of $178,400 and $214,900, respectively.
