Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 10.8% for the 39-week period, driven primarily by the inclusion of Calvin Klein Licensing revenues ($80.9 million increase in royalties/fees). Net sales grew 3.2%.
- Profitability Decline: Net income available to common stockholders dropped significantly year-over-year for the 39-week period ($9.1 million vs $24.7 million). This is largely due to $14.7 million in preferred stock dividends related to the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock issued to finance the Calvin Klein acquisition.
- Expense Increases: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose $83.1 million ($24.0 million for the quarter) due to Calvin Klein integration costs ($25.8 million for 39 weeks) and operating expenses for new retail stores.
- Debt Structure: Long-term debt increased from $249.0 million to $399.1 million. The Company issued $150 million in senior unsecured notes and $250 million in preferred stock to fund the acquisition, while repaying a $125 million term loan.
- One-Time Gain: A $3.5 million pre-tax gain was recorded from the sale of the Company's minority interest in Gant Company AB.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Integration Costs: Management expects to incur Calvin Klein integration costs throughout 2003, including expenses related to transferring high-end ready-to-wear businesses to Vestimenta, S.p.A. and consolidating back-office functions.
- Capital Spending: Anticipated capital spending for fiscal 2003 is projected between $33.0 million and $38.0 million.
- Contingent Payments: The Company is making contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Klein based on sales of Calvin Klein branded products. Approximately $12.0 million was paid in the first nine months, with an estimated $17.0 million total for 2003.
- Liquidity: The Company maintains a $325 million secured revolving credit facility. As of November 2, 2003, there were no borrowings but $122.3 million in outstanding letters of credit.
- Risks: Key risks include the ability to integrate Calvin Klein successfully, quota restrictions, raw material costs (specifically petroleum-based synthetics), and the failure of licensees to preserve brand value. Forward-looking statements are subject to standard safe harbor provisions regarding economic conditions and fashion trends.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Preferred Stock Impact: Verify the dilutive effect and dividend obligations of the $250 million Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, which significantly reduced net income available to common shareholders.
- Integration Progress: Monitor the timeline and cost of transferring Calvin Klein collection businesses to Vestimenta and the exit of duplicative facilities.
- Working Capital Trends: Review the $31.4 million increase in receivables and the $10.0 million change in deferred taxes, which negatively impacted operating cash flow.
- Contingent Liabilities: Track future contingent payments to Mr. Klein, which depend on worldwide sales volume of Calvin Klein brands.
- Segment Performance: Distinguish between the organic growth of the Apparel and Footwear segment and the new revenue streams from the Calvin Klein Licensing segment.
