Ralph Lauren Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results and Maintains Its Fiscal 2017 Outlook
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL) today reported earnings per diluted
share of $0.55 on a reported basis and $1.90 on an adjusted basis,
excluding restructuring and other related charges recorded in connection
with the Company’s Way Forward plan, for the second quarter of Fiscal
2017. This compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.86 on a reported
basis and $2.13 on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring and other
related charges, for the second quarter of Fiscal 2016.
“We are changing with the consumer, as we demonstrated in September with
our first-ever ‘see-now-buy-now’ runway show at our flagship store on
Madison Avenue,” said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief
Creative Officer. “I am confident that this industry leading endeavor in
combination with our other elements of the Way Forward plan are
strengthening our brand to support future profitable growth.”
“Our team is intensely focused on driving the execution of the Way
Forward plan,” said Stefan Larsson, President and Chief Executive
Officer. “While it is still the early stages of our plan, we made
meaningful progress and we are on track to deliver against Fiscal 2017
guidance. In the second quarter, we:
- drove our quality of sales up by moderating discount levels;
- lowered our inventory levels by 15%;
- reduced our SKUs for Fall 2016 by 10%;
- created our Ralph Lauren Icons marketing campaign;
-
launched ‘see-now-buy-now’ fashion show with more than twice the
global media impressions compared to the previous show; - announced Denim & Supply closure to focus on our core;
- optimized our sales fleet by closing 7 under-performing stores; and
- platformed the vast majority of key fabrics for core styles.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Income Statement Review
Net Revenues. For the second quarter of Fiscal 2017, net
revenues of $1.8 billion were consistent with the Way Forward plan.
Revenue declined 8% compared to the prior year period on both a reported
and constant currency basis. On a reported basis, international net
revenue rose 2% in the second quarter, offset by a 12% decline in North
America.
-
Wholesale Revenue. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2017,
wholesale segment revenue decreased 10% on both a reported and
constant currency basis to $831 million, driven by a decline in North
America, as shipments were strategically reduced as part of the Way
Forward plan. This was partially offset by an increase in Europe. -
Retail Revenue. Retail segment revenue decreased 5% on a
reported basis to $942 million in the second quarter, and was down 6%
on a constant currency basis, both driven by a comparable store sales
decline. Consolidated comparable store sales decreased 8% on a
reported basis and 9% in constant currency in the second quarter with
traffic declines only partially offset by moderated markdown levels. -
Licensing Revenue. Licensing segment revenue of $48 million in
the second quarter increased 2% on a reported basis and was
approximately flat with the prior year period on a constant currency
basis.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of
Fiscal 2017 was $954 million on a reported basis, including $81 million
in non-cash inventory-related charges. On an adjusted basis, gross
profit was $1.0 billion and gross profit margin was 56.9%, 40 basis
points above last year, excluding non-cash inventory related charges
from both periods. This increase was primarily driven by favorable
geographic and channel mix shifts and initial actions in our Way Forward
plan including lower product costs and initiatives to improve quality of
sales metrics, primarily through reduced promotional activity in our
international businesses. This was partially offset by increasingly
unfavorable foreign currency effects.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses in the second
quarter of Fiscal 2017 were $878 million on a reported basis, including
$69 million in restructuring and other related charges. On an adjusted
basis, operating expenses were $809 million, down 4% to the prior year,
primarily as a result of lower headcount and store closures under the
Way Forward plan. Operating expense rate was 44.5%, 150 basis points
above last year, excluding restructuring and other related charges from
both periods. This increase was due to deleverage of fixed expenses on
lower net revenues. Adjusted operating expenses were $845 million in the
prior year period.
Operating Income. Operating income in the second quarter
of Fiscal 2017 was $76 million and operating margin was 4.2% on a
reported basis, including restructuring and other related charges of
$150 million. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $226 million
and operating margin was 12.4%, 110 basis points below last year,
excluding restructuring and other related charges from both periods.
This was better than planned due to international quality of sales
initiatives, increased inventory productivity and a shift in timing of
planned operating expenses. The lower operating margin year-over-year
was attributable to fixed expense deleverage on lower net revenues,
which was partially offset by higher gross margin.
-
Wholesale Operating Income. Wholesale operating income in the
second quarter of Fiscal 2017 was $203 million and wholesale operating
margin was 24.5% on a reported basis, including $15 million in
restructuring and other related charges. On an adjusted basis,
wholesale operating income in the second quarter was $218 million and
wholesale operating margin was 26.4%, down 40 basis points compared to
last year. -
Retail Operating Income. Retail operating income in the second
quarter of Fiscal 2017 was $19 million and retail operating margin was
2.0% on a reported basis, including $93 million in restructuring and
other related charges. On an adjusted basis, retail operating income
was $112 million and retail operating margin was 11.8%, down 100 basis
points compared to last year. -
Licensing Operating Income. Licensing operating income of $44
million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2017 increased 5% compared to
the prior year period on a reported basis.
Net Income and Diluted EPS. On a reported basis, net
income in the second quarter of Fiscal 2017 was $45 million or $0.55 per
diluted share. On an adjusted basis, net income was $158 million, or
$1.90 per diluted share, excluding restructuring and other related
charges. This compared to net income of $160 million, or $1.86 per
diluted share on a reported basis, and $184 million, or $2.13 per
diluted share on an adjusted basis, for the second quarter of Fiscal
2016.
The Company had an effective tax rate of approximately 38% in the second
quarter of Fiscal 2017 on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, the
effective tax rate was approximately 29%, excluding restructuring and
other related charges, which compared to an adjusted effective tax rate
of 29% in the prior year period.
Full Year Fiscal 2017 and Third Quarter Outlook
For Fiscal 2017, the Company is maintaining its guidance. Consolidated
net revenue is expected to decrease at a low-double digit rate
consistent with the Way Forward plan. Key elements include a proactive
pullback in inventory receipts, store closures, pricing harmonization
and quality of sales initiatives. Based on current exchange rates,
foreign currency is expected to have minimal impact on revenue growth in
Fiscal 2017.
The Company continues to expect operating margin for Fiscal 2017 to be
approximately 10%, as cost savings are expected to be offset by growth
in new store expenses, unfavorable foreign currency impacts in gross
margin, infrastructure investments and fixed expense deleverage. The
Fiscal 2017 tax rate is estimated to be approximately 29%.
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company expects consolidated
net revenues to be down low-double digits to down low-teens on a
reported basis, with continued execution of quality of sales
initiatives, inventory receipt reductions, and fleet optimization
consistent with the Way Forward plan. Based on current exchange rates,
foreign currency is expected to have minimal impact on revenue growth in
the third quarter, but will pressure gross margin by at least 120 basis
points.
Operating margin for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 is expected to be
down approximately 200 to 225 basis points compared to the prior year
period, as a shift in timing of planned operating expenses negatively
impacts the third quarter and savings initiatives from the Way Forward
plan are more fully realized in the fourth quarter. The third quarter
tax rate is estimated at 29%.
The full year Fiscal 2017 and third quarter guidance excludes
restructuring and other related charges expected to be recorded in
connection with the Company’s Way Forward plan.
The Company is not able to provide a full reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial measures to GAAP because certain material items that impact
these measures, such as the timing and exact amount of charges related
to our Way Forward plan, have not yet occurred or are out of the
Company’s control. Accordingly, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP
financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not
available without unreasonable effort. The Company has identified the
estimated impact of the items excluded from its Fiscal 2017 guidance.
This Fiscal 2017 non-GAAP guidance excludes estimated pretax charges
related to our Way Forward plan, comprised of restructuring-related
charges of about $400 million and an additional charge of about $150
million associated with the reduction of inventory out of current
liquidation channels.
Fiscal 2017 Way Forward Cost Savings Plan
The Company expects its Fiscal 2017 restructuring activities to result
in approximately $180-$220 million of annualized expense savings related
to its initiatives to streamline the organizational structure and
right-size its cost structure and real estate portfolio.
The Company expects to incur restructuring charges of about $400 million
as a result of the Fiscal 2017 restructuring activities and about $150
million inventory charge associated with the Company’s Way Forward plan.
These charges are expected to be substantially realized by the end of
Fiscal 2017. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company recorded
$150 million in restructuring, related impairment and inventory charges.
