Tandy Brands Reports Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Earnings Results

  • Year to date adjusted EBITDA improved $5.6 million to $1.8 million
  • Fiscal 2012 net sales of $117.6 million, down 5% due to planned exit of unprofitable categories
  • Fiscal 2012 gifts segment sales increased by 40%
  • Year to date SG&A reduced by $7.6 million
  • Fiscal 2012 cash flow from operations up $15.3 million

DALLAS, Sept. 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq:TBAC) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Fourth Quarter Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter were $21.6 million, a 7 percent decrease over net sales of $23.2 million in the same period last year. The sales decline was primarily attributable to lower sales in exited product categories and timing of replenishment orders to a significant customer.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 gross margin as a percentage of net sales improved to 30.2 percent, compared to 12.8 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in gross margin percentage over the prior year period was driven by the $3.7 million inventory write-off associated with exited product lines in the prior year and improvements in sales mix.

Total selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 improved by $1.4 million over the prior year period to $7.9 million. The 15 percent improvement was due to savings initiatives in labor, facilities and distribution costs. Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 SG&A as a percentage of net sales improved to 36.6 percent, compared to 40.1 percent in the prior year period.

For the fourth quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $2.2 million, or ($0.32) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $8.4 million, or ($1.21) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss improved $1.1 million to $2.3 million compared to an adjusted net loss of $3.4 million in the prior year fourth quarter.

"Our quarterly results continue to improve due to our initiatives to exit unprofitable product categories," said Rod McGeachy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tandy Brands. "Year-over-year we significantly reduced our SG&A while also adding six new strategic licenses to our portfolio of brands."

"In the fourth quarter we shipped new products under Elie Tahari®, Eddie Bauer®, Miss Me® and The Sharper Image® which improved our gross margin percentages," said McGeachy. "We expect revenues from these new products to provide meaningful growth in profitability in fiscal 2013 and beyond."

Fiscal Year 2012 Results

Fiscal 2012 net sales were $117.6 million, down 5 percent, compared to $123.8 million for the prior year. The gifts segment's net sales increased by $8.9 million, or 40 percent, over the prior year due to increased sales under the totes® and Eddie Bauer® licenses primarily during holiday 2011. The accessories segment net sales declined $15.1 million, or 15 percent, over the prior period. This decline was driven by the planned exit of unprofitable product categories during the prior year, lower replenishment rates at a major customer, and not repeating certain spring season load-ins.

For fiscal 2012, gross margin for the accessories segment improved 470 basis points to 33.5 percent. The fiscal 2011 gross margin includes a $3.7 million inventory write-off associated with discontinued product lines. Excluding this write-off, gross margin improved 100 basis points. The remaining increase was driven by improvements in sales mix due to exiting product categories, lower inventory write-offs and lower customer deductions. The gift segment margin declined 470 basis points in fiscal 2012 to 26.8 percent. A change in the sales mix of the gifts segment, including increased sales to higher volume, lower margin customers, higher materials and freight costs, and more customer-direct shipments, were the drivers of the decrease in gross margin as a percent of net sales.

Total SG&A expense for fiscal 2012 was reduced by $7.6 million over prior year. The 17 percent decline was primarily due to decreases in labor, facilities, distribution costs, and professional services. Fiscal 2012 SG&A as a percentage of net sales improved to 31.6 percent, compared to 36.1 percent in the prior year.

The Company reported a net loss of $3.7 million for fiscal 2012, or a loss of $0.52 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.5 million, or a loss of $1.93 per diluted share, in fiscal 2011. Adjusted net loss improved by $5.8 million to $1.9 million compared to an adjusted net loss of $7.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA improved by $5.6 million to $1.8 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.8 million in the prior year.

"In fiscal 2012 we pursued growth opportunities, acquired new licenses and grew our share with key customers," said McGeachy. "Specifically, we grew our gifts business organically under our totes® license and added meaningful revenues under the new Eddie Bauer® license."

Financial Position

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.3 million higher than fiscal 2011 primarily due to a $5.6 million improvement in adjusted EBITDA and faster collections on receivables. Net cash used for financing activities was $12.8 million higher than fiscal 2011 primarily driven by using cash inflows to pay down the credit facility.

The balance on the credit facility was $11.8 million on June 30, 2012, of which $7.1 million was used to fund inventory deposits for gifts inventory expected to ship in the first half of fiscal 2013. As of June 30, 2012, the Company reported net working capital of $20.7 million.

"In fiscal 2012 we improved our cash cycle to 122 days, down from 133 days in the prior year. We recently executed a new factoring program with our second largest customer which is expected to benefit us through interest rate arbitrage and improved payment terms," said McGeachy. "We will continue to make rational investment decisions and reduce our capital deployed."

Outlook

"Although our adjusted net loss improved 75 percent over the prior year, a net loss is unacceptable to our management team and our shareholders. As we start fiscal 2013, I am confident in our future and our ability to deliver meaningful returns to shareholders," said McGeachy.

"Our net revenues from licensed products grew $7.6 million, or 31 percent, to $31.8 million, or 27 percent of our total revenues for fiscal 2012. These branded product lines improve our margins and reduce complexity," said McGeachy. "We are excited by the opportunities these brands provide and expect sales from the new branded products to drive revenue and bottom-line improvements in fiscal 2013 and the foreseeable future."

Unaudited Non-GAAP Disclosures
(in thousands except per share amounts)

Our adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain acquisition-related and one-time items. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides useful information about our business activities and also is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in evaluating a company's performance. Not all companies utilize identical calculations; therefore, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other identically titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The following table reconciles our GAAP net income (loss) to the adjusted EBITDA disclosures.
