Jones Apparel Group, Inc. Reports 2009 Third Quarter Results - Zibb.com

Jones Apparel Group, Inc. (NYSE: JNY) today reported results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2009. Reported revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $856 million, as compared with $965 million for the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in revenues of 11% was as anticipated and reflective of overall economic conditions that continue to affect retail sales in general.

The Company reported adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") of $0.46 for the third quarter of 2009, as compared with adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.34 for the same period last year. The 2009 third quarter results exclude charges related to severance and other costs related to restructuring activities initiated across the Company, and certain other costs totaling approximately $13 million ($8 million after tax) (see reconciliation of adjusted earnings to reported earnings in the accompanying schedule).

As reported under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reported earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.36 per share for the third quarter of 2009, as compared with earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.32 for the same period last year.

Wesley R. Card, Jones Apparel Group President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We maneuvered through this very difficult period in our economy by initiating a rigorous effort across the Company focused on controlling inventories and managing costs, while simultaneously invigorating our merchandising and product initiatives. These efforts allowed us to improve operating performance in all segments in the face of an anticipated sales decline. Our vertical retail business is showing signs of improvement as the changes we are making begin to take effect. Comparable store sales in our retail division were down, as anticipated, and consistent with the overall retail environment."

Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months was $149 million, compared with cash provided by operations of $8 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year change in cash provided is primarily due to better working capital management and lower working capital requirements.

John T. McClain, Jones Apparel Group Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Our balance sheet, liquidity and cash flow remain strong. We ended the quarter with over $155 million of cash, and our revolver remains undrawn. Our total debt balance is $537 million, $245 million less than a year ago, and our debt to total capitalization ratio, net of cash, is 23.7%. As a result of our aggressive management, inventories and expenses continue to be well controlled, with inventories down 24% compared with the prior year."

The Company continues to implement its previously-announced retail improvement plan to right-size the retail portfolio, with the goal of enhancing segment profitability, reducing capital expenditures and improving return on invested capital. To date, the Company has exited 69 locations and remains on track to exit a total of approximately 265 locations, which will continue to occur throughout the remainder of 2009 and 2010. The Company now anticipates expense savings and the elimination of unprofitable store locations to improve results by $4 million in 2009, $16 million in 2010 and $22 million in 2011.

The following notable events have recently occurred:

    --  launched Rachel Rachel Roy, an affordable contemporary line of
        sportswear, footwear, jewelry and accessories, utilizing a social media
        marketing campaign;
    --  launched an e-commerce site for the Rachel Roy brands at
        www.rachelroy.com;
    --  opened a flagship multi-brand retail footwear and accessory store,
        ShoeWoo, on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan;
    --  launched two collections for spring 2010 delivery: "Jones New York
        Collection Knits" and "j. Jones New York," a soft, relaxed, casual
        collection; and

    --  continued to fine tune and execute the retail improvement strategy; to
        date have closed 69 stores.

Mr. Card concluded: "We are operating from a position of strength in what continues to be an uncertain consumer environment. Plans for the balance of the year are conservative and we are encouraged that inventories remain well controlled across all retail channels. We are cautiously optimistic that the holiday season will generate better financial results across the industry. We are positioning the Company for the economic recovery and remain focused on enhancing our core brands, increasing market share and controlling our inventories and expenses."

The Company's Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share to all common stockholders of record as of November 13, 2009 for payment on November 27, 2009.

The Company will host a conference call with management to discuss these results at 8:30 a.m. eastern time today, which is accessible by dialing 412-858-4600 or through a web cast at www.jonesapparel.com (under Investor Relations/Conference Schedule).

        general;

    (1)  Earnings per share is calculated under the "two-class method," where
         income is allocated between common shares and participating
         securities (unvested restricted shares held by employees that have a
         nonforfeitable right to dividends).  Both our common shares and
         participating securities share equally in dividend payments and
         earnings.
