PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO) today reported EPS of $0.43
for the 13 weeks ended February 2, 2019. This compares to $0.52 for the
14 weeks ended February 3, 2018, which included the benefit of an extra
week of sales due to the retail calendar. Adjusted EPS of $0.44 last
year excluded $0.08 of tax benefit discussed below. No adjustments were
recorded in Q4 of fiscal 2018.
For the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2019, the company reported EPS of
$1.47. This compares to $1.13 for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2018,
which included the benefit of an extra week of sales due to the retail
calendar. Adjusted EPS of $1.48 excludes $0.01 of restructuring charges
and compares to adjusted EPS of $1.16 last year, which excluded $0.08 of
tax benefit related to the U.S. tax legislation as discussed below and
$0.11 of restructuring and related charges. The EPS figures refer to
diluted earnings per share.
“Strong execution by the teams drove a record fourth quarter and fiscal
2018, as we reached a milestone of $4 billion in annual revenue with
increased operating profit,” commented Jay Schottenstein, AEO’s Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. “American Eagle and Aerie continued to
deliver consistent performance by combining product innovation and great
merchandise with an improved customer experience across channels. As we
head into 2019, we will continue to leverage the strength of our brands,
selling channels and the team’s commitment to continually raising the
bar for our customers. I’m extremely proud of our results over the past
several years. The strength of our balance sheet and free cash flow
enables us to make important investments in our business to fuel market
share gains, future growth and returns to our shareholders.”
Adjusted amounts represent Non-GAAP results, as described in the
accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.
Fourth Quarter 2018 Results
-
Total net revenue for the 13 weeks ended February 2, 2019 increased
$15 million, or 1% to $1.24 billion compared to $1.23 billion for the
14 weeks ended February 3, 2018. Total revenue was adversely affected
by approximately $60 million of lost revenue due to operating one less
week in 2018, which is consistent with the retail calendar.
Consolidated comparable sales increased 6% over the comparable period
ending February 3, 2018, following an 8% increase last year. This
marked the 16th consecutive quarter of positive comparable
sales.
-
By brand, American Eagle comparable sales increased 3%, building on a
5% increase last year. Aerie’s comparable sales increased 23%,
following a 34% increase last year, marking the 17th
consecutive quarter of double-digit comp growth.
-
Gross profit increased $5 million or 1% to $431 million from gross
profit of $425 million last year. The gross margin rate was flat at a
rate of 34.6%. Lower markdowns were offset by higher distribution and
compensation expense.
-
Selling, general and administrative expense of $288 million increased
9% from $264 million last year. As a rate to revenue, SG&A rose 160
basis points to 23.1%. The dollar increase primarily supported key
investments in our brands, the customer experience and our associates
with increases in store payroll, higher wages and incentives, and
incremental advertising expense.
-
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 5% to $41 million,
improving 30 basis points to 3.3% as a rate to revenue.
-
Operating income of $101 million compared to $116 million last year.
As a rate to revenue, operating income decreased to 8.2% from 9.4%
last year. One less week in the fourth quarter adversely affected
operating income by approximately $18 million.
-
Other income of $2.3 million consisted primarily of interest income.
-
The effective tax rate of 26.5% compared to 21.7% (34.2% on an
adjusted basis) last year.
-
EPS of $0.43 compared to EPS of $0.52 last year, or adjusted EPS of
$0.44, which included $0.08 of tax benefits last year related to U.S.
tax legislation enacted in December 2017.
Fiscal Year 2018 Results
-
Total net revenue for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2019, increased
$240 million, or 6% to a record $4.0 billion compared to $3.8 billion
for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2018. Total revenue was adversely
affected by approximately $40 million of lost revenue due to operating
one less week in 2018, which is consistent with the retail calendar.
-
Consolidated comparable sales increased 8% over the comparable period
ending February 3, 2018, following a 4% increase last year.
-
By brand, American Eagle comparable sales increased 5%, building on a
2% increase last year. Aerie’s comparable sales increased 29%,
following a 27% increase in 2017.
-
Gross profit increased $117 million, or 8% to $1.5 billion. The gross
margin rate increased 80 basis points to 36.9% of revenue compared to
36.1% last year. An improved markdown rate and rent leverage were
partially offset by increased delivery costs due to a strong digital
business and higher compensation.
-
Selling, general and administrative expense of $981 million increased
11% from $880 million last year. As a rate to revenue, SG&A rose 110
basis points to 24.3%. The dollar increase primarily supported key
investments in the customer experience and our associates with
increases in store payroll, higher wages and incentives, and
incremental advertising expense.
-
Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly to $168
million to $167 million last year, improving 20 basis points to 4.2%
as a rate to revenue.
-
Operating income of $337 million increased from $303 million last
year. Adjusted operating income of $339 million increased 4% from $325
million last year. As a rate to revenue, adjusted operating income
decreased to 8.4% from 8.6%. Adjusted figures exclude restructuring
and related charges of approximately $2 million and $22 million in
fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. One less week in the year
adversely affected operating profit by approximately $12 million.
-
The effective tax rate decreased to 24.1% compared to 28.9% (34.4% on
an adjusted basis) last year.
-
EPS of $1.47 compared to EPS of $1.13 last year. Adjusted EPS of $1.48
excludes $0.01 of restructuring charges and increased 28% compared to
adjusted EPS of $1.16 last year, which excluded $0.08 of tax benefit
related to the U.S. tax legislation and $0.11 of restructuring and
related charges.
Inventory
Total ending inventory at cost increased 7% to $424 million, consistent
with our expectations.
Capital Expenditures
In 2018 capital expenditures totaled $189 million. For fiscal 2019, the
company expects capital expenditures to be in the range of $200 to $215
million, with more than half related to store remodeling projects and
new openings, and the balance to support the digital business,
omni-channel tools and general corporate maintenance.
Shareholder Returns, Cash and Investments
During 2018, the company returned $242 million to shareholders through
cash dividends and share repurchases. We paid dividends of $97 million
and repurchased 7.3 million shares for $144 million. The company ended
the year with total cash and short-term investments of $425 million, an
increase of $12 million compared to the end of 2017.
Store Information
We ended the year with a total of 1,055 stores. During the year, the
company opened 16 AE stores and closed 15, ending the year with 934 AE
stores. Included in the AE store count are 147 Aerie side-by-side
locations, of which 29 opened in 2018. Additionally, the company opened
12 Aerie stand alone stores and closed 6, ending the year with 115 Aerie
stand alone locations and 262 total Aerie stores. . Internationally, the
company ended the year with 231 licensed stores. For additional
information, see accompanying table.
Income Taxes
U.S. tax legislation was enacted on December 22, 2017, referred to as
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The legislation contained
several key tax provisions and, as required, the company included
reasonable estimates of the income tax effects of the changes in tax law
in its fourth quarter and fiscal 2017 financial results. As a result,
the company realized $0.08 per share of tax benefit, which is excluded
from adjusted results. Specifically, these one-time items relate to:
-
Benefit from a lower blended U.S. corporate tax rate in fiscal 2017.
-
A net benefit from the re-measurement of deferred tax balances and the
one-time transition tax on undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries.
-
A benefit from the acceleration of certain deductions into fiscal 2017.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the company finalized its accounting
for the one-time mandatory transition tax on undistributed foreign
earnings and the re-measuring of deferred tax balances due to the Tax
Act in accordance within the one-year measurement period allowed by the
SEC.
First Quarter 2019 Outlook
Based on an anticipated comparable sales increase in the low single
digits, management expects first quarter 2019 EPS to be approximately
$0.19 to $0.21. This guidance excludes potential asset impairment and
restructuring charges. Last year’s first quarter reported EPS of $0.22
included $0.01 of restructuring charges. Excluding these items last
year’s adjusted EPS was $0.23. See the accompanying table for the GAAP
to Non-GAAP reconciliation.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes information on non-GAAP financial measures
(“non-GAAP” or “adjusted”), including earnings per share information and
the consolidated results of operations excluding non-GAAP items. These
financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology
prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and
are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP information is useful
for an alternate presentation of the company’s performance, when
reviewed in conjunction with the company’s GAAP financial statements.
These amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP and therefore,
should not be used exclusively in evaluating the company’s business and
operations.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM
ACT OF 1995
This release and related statements by management contain
forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which represent our
expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including first
quarter 2019 results. All forward-looking statements made by the company
involve material risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based
on many important factors, some of which may be beyond the company’s
control. Words such as "estimate," "project," "plan," "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "intend," “potential,” and similar expressions
may identify forward-looking statements. Except as may be required by
applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise and even if experience or future changes make
it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will
not be realized. The following factors, in addition to the risks
disclosed in Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 and in any
subsequently-filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in some cases have affected, and
in the future could affect, the company's financial performance and
could cause actual results for the first quarter 2019 and beyond to
differ materially from those expressed or implied in any of the
forward-looking statements included in this release or otherwise made by
management: the risk that the company’s operating, financial and capital
plans may not be achieved; our inability to anticipate customer demand
and changing fashion trends and to manage our inventory commensurately;
seasonality of our business; our inability to achieve planned store
financial performance; our inability to react to raw material cost,
labor and energy cost increases; our inability to gain market share in
the face of declining shopping center traffic; our inability to respond
to changes in e-commerce and leverage omni-channel demands; our
inability to expand internationally; difficulty with our international
merchandise sourcing strategies; challenges with information technology
systems, including safeguarding against security breaches; and changes
in global economic and financial conditions, and the resulting impact on
consumer confidence and consumer spending, as well as other changes in
consumer discretionary spending habits, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and liquidity.
