The Company Raises Its Fiscal 2012 Sales and Profit Outlook
|
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2012-- Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL) today reported net income of $169 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2012, compared to net income of $168 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2011.
Net income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 rose 19% to $587 million from $494 million in the comparable period last fiscal year. Net income per diluted share of $6.14 in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 was 23% greater than the $5.01 reported in the prior year period.
“I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished in the first nine months of the fiscal year,” said Ralph Lauren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our design-driven culture is delivering highly desirable products across a growing range of lifestyle sensibilities and merchandise categories. We continue to support this innovation with best-in-class marketing, merchandising and distribution that not only distinguishes us in the marketplace, but also deepens our connection with our customers around the world. The progress we are making at our retail segment is very encouraging, particularly as we continue to invest in new stores and e-commerce worldwide.”
“Our third quarter and year-to-date results affirm the resilience of our diversified operating model and the relevance of our strategic objectives,” said Roger Farah, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We’ve navigated through unprecedented gross margin pressure and challenging macroeconomic conditions while simultaneously supporting our global brand development efforts and maintaining excellent profitability. We believe sustained, disciplined investment in our growth initiatives, particularly our global retail and infrastructure development, will continue to yield strong returns for our shareholders over the long term.”
Third Quarter and Nine Months Fiscal 2012 Income Statement Review
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 were $1.8 billion, 17% greater than net revenues for the comparable period last year. The increase in net revenues primarily reflects growth in retail sales worldwide and double-digit wholesale revenue growth in the United States and Europe.
1
Net revenues for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 were $5.2 billion, 24% greater than the comparable period of Fiscal 2011. The increase in net revenues primarily reflects strong retail sales worldwide, higher wholesale revenues and favorable foreign currency effects.
|
|
·
|
Wholesale Sales. Wholesale sales of $750 million in the third quarter were 11% above the prior year period. Double-digit growth in the United States and Europe was supported by strong demand for core apparel merchandise, particularly men’s and childrenswear. Wholesale revenue growth also benefited from the transition of certain formerly licensed home product categories to directly controlled wholesale operations. The transition of certain Japanese wholesale distribution to directly operated concession shops was a meaningful offset to wholesale revenue growth in the third quarter.
|
|
|
For the first nine months of Fiscal 2012, wholesale sales were $2.4 billion, 19% above the prior year period. The year-over-year increase in wholesale sales reflects higher global demand for core apparel merchandise and growing distribution of emerging accessories products. Year-to-date wholesale sales also include incremental home product revenues as a result of the transition of certain formerly licensed home product categories to directly controlled wholesale operations. The transition of certain Japanese wholesale distribution to directly operated concession shops was a partial offset to wholesale revenue growth in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012.
|
|
|
·
|
Retail Sales. Retail sales rose 22% to $1.0 billion from $822 million in the third quarter last year, reflecting the contribution from new stores and concession shops, including incremental revenues from newly transitioned South Korean operations, and comparable store sales growth. Comparable store sales increased 12%, reflecting a 31% increase at RalphLauren.com, 7% growth at Ralph Lauren stores, 9% expansion at factory stores and 17% growth at Club Monaco stores.
|
|
|
Retail sales for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 were $2.7 billion, 29% above the prior year period. Year-to-date comparable store sales rose 14%, reflecting 29% growth at RalphLauren.com, an 8% increase at Ralph Lauren stores, 14% growth at factory stores and 19% expansion at Club Monaco stores.
|
|
|
·
|
Licensing. Licensing revenues of $50 million in the third quarter were 1% below the prior year period. Higher domestic apparel product licensing and global fragrance royalties were more than offset by lower international and home product licensing royalties due to the transition of certain formerly licensed operations to directly controlled operations.
|
|
|
Licensing royalties of $137 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 were 2% greater than the prior year period. Higher domestic apparel product licensing
|

|
|
royalties more than offset lower international and home product licensing royalties due to the transition of certain formerly licensed operations to directly controlled operations.
|
Gross Profit. Gross profit of $1.0 billion in the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 was 14% greater than the prior year period. The gross profit rate declined 150 basis points to 57.1% from 58.6% in the third quarter last year. The lower gross profit rate primarily reflects the negative impact of cost of goods inflation that was partially offset by more favorable channel and geographic mix, in addition to select price increases, compared to the prior year.
Gross profit for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 rose 22% to $3.1 billion. Gross profit rate of 58.7% was 50 basis points below the prior year, primarily due to the negative impact of cost of goods inflation. Favorable channel and geographic mix compared to the prior year, in addition to select price increases, helped to offset some of the gross profit rate pressure in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased 15% in the third quarter to $761 million from $662 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2011. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects overall business expansion, including strong retail segment growth, in addition to incremental costs associated with the transition of certain formerly licensed operations. Operating expense margin was 42.2%, a 50 basis point improvement from the comparable prior year period. The lower operating expense margin was a result of leverage on strong sales growth and a shift in timing of certain expenses into the fourth quarter.
Operating expenses in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 were $2.2 billion, 22% greater than the prior year period. Operating expense margin was 41.4%, a 60 basis point improvement from the first nine months of Fiscal 2011, as leverage on strong sales growth more than offset incremental costs associated with the transition of certain formerly licensed operations, higher retail segment penetration and continued investment in the Company's strategic growth initiatives.
Operating Income. Operating income for the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 rose 10% to $270 million from $246 million in the third quarter last year. Operating margin was 15.0%, or 90 basis points below the third quarter last year, primarily due to gross margin compression that was partially offset by operating expense leverage.
For the first nine months of Fiscal 2012, operating income increased 24% to $903 million from $728 million in the prior year period. Operating margin for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 was 17.2%, essentially unchanged from the prior year period. The stability in operating margin rate reflects an equivalent amount of operating expense leverage to offset gross margin compression.
|
|
·
|
Wholesale Operating Income. Wholesale operating income declined 11% to $116 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 from $130 million last year. Wholesale
|
3
|
|
|
operating margin was 15.4% in the third quarter, 390 basis points below the prior year period, primarily as a result of cost of goods inflation, incremental expenses associated with the transition of certain formerly licensed home operations and the global launch of Denim & Supply.
|
|
|
Wholesale operating income increased 8% in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 to $513 million from $476 million last year. Wholesale operating margin for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 was 21.2%, or 230 basis points below the prior year period, primarily a result of cost of goods inflation and incremental expenses associated with the transition of certain formerly licensed home operations. Expense leverage on higher global wholesale sales partially mitigated the decline in wholesale operating margin.
|
|
|
·
|
Retail Operating Income. Retail operating income was $194 million, 27% greater than the $153 million achieved in the third quarter of Fiscal 2011, and retail operating margin was 19.3% compared to 18.6% in the prior year period. The growth in retail operating income and the expansion in margin are a result of strong comparable store sales growth and improved profitability in international markets. The improved retail segment profitability was partially offset by cost of goods inflation and continued investment in global e-commerce development.
|
|
|
Retail operating income increased 42% in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 to $514 million from $362 million in the prior year period, and the retail operating margin was 19.2%, or 170 basis points greater than the first nine months of Fiscal 2011. The growth in retail operating income and the expansion in margin are a result of strong comparable store sales growth and improved profitability in international markets. The improved retail segment profitability was partially offset by cost of goods inflation and expenses related to newly transitioned South Korean operations.
|
|
|
·
|
Licensing Operating Income. Licensing operating income increased 7% to $32 million from $30 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2011, primarily due to lower net costs associated with the transition of formerly licensed operations to directly controlled operations.
|
|
|
Licensing operating income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 rose 7% to $87 million from $81 million in the prior year period, primarily due to lower net costs associated with the transition of formerly licensed operations to directly controlled operations.
|
Net Income and Diluted EPS. Net income of $169 million for the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 was slightly above the $168 million earned in the prior year period. The increase in net income reflects the higher operating income discussed above that was almost entirely offset by higher taxes. The effective tax rate of 36% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2012
4
compares to 29% in the prior year period, primarily due to the favorable resolution of discrete tax items in the third quarter of Fiscal 2011. Net income per diluted share rose 3% to $1.78 per share from $1.72 in the third quarter last year. The increase in diluted EPS for the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 reflects lower average diluted shares outstanding compared to the prior year.
Net income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 rose 19% to $587 million from $494 million last year. Net income per diluted share of $6.14 in the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 was 23% greater than the $5.01 earned in the prior year period. The growth in net income and diluted EPS results for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 principally relates to the higher operating income discussed above that was partially offset by an effective tax rate of 34% compared to 31% in the prior year period. The higher effective tax rate for the first nine months of Fiscal 2012 primarily reflects the favorable resolution of discrete tax items in the prior year.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Balance Sheet Review
The Company ended the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 with $1.3 billion in cash and investments, or $1.0 billion in cash and investments net of debt, both approximately in line with the prior year period’s levels.
The Company had $68 million in capital expenditures in the third quarter compared to $78 million in the prior year period. The third quarter ended with inventory up 28% to $895 million from $698 million in the third quarter of last year. The higher inventory is primarily attributable to an investment to support anticipated sales growth, including incremental inventory to support new stores and concession shops; new operations and new merchandise categories, such as South Korea, home textiles, international e-commerce and Denim & Supply; and the inflationary and foreign exchange impact on cost of goods.
Global Retail Store Network
The Company ended the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 with 378 directly operated stores, comprised of 104 Ralph Lauren stores, 59 Club Monaco stores, 200 Polo factory stores and 15 Rugby stores. The Company also operated 508 concession shop locations worldwide at the end of the third quarter. In addition to Company-operated locations, global licensing partners operated 60 Ralph Lauren stores and 49 dedicated concession shops as well as 58 Club Monaco stores and dedicated shops at the end of the third quarter.
Fiscal 2012 Outlook
Due to the stronger-than-expected third quarter performance, the Company now expects consolidated revenues for Fiscal 2012 to increase by approximately 20%, which compares to a prior expectation of high-teens-to-low 20% growth. The Company has also raised its operating margin outlook for Fiscal 2012. The full year operating margin from
5
continuing operations is now estimated to be approximately equivalent to or only slightly below the prior year period, which compares to a prior expectation of a 50 basis point decline. The full year Fiscal 2012 tax rate is currently estimated to be 34%.

Ralph Lauren is a global company that reports its financial information in U.S. dollars, in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”). Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars because the underlying currencies in which the Company transacts change in value over time compared to the U.S. dollar. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to its reported operating results, the Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in its businesses. These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
