Joe’s
Jeans Reports 79% Increase in Net Sales to $52.7 Million for the 3rd
Quarter of Fiscal 2014
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 9, 2014--Joe’s Jeans Inc. (the
“Company”) (NASDAQ: JOEZ) today announced financial results for the
third quarter ended August 31, 2014. Highlights were:
-
Third quarter net sales increased 79% to $52.7 million;
-
Wholesale net sales increased 98%;
-
Retail store net sales increased 13%; and
-
Operating income was $3.8 million compared to an operating loss of
$295,000 in the prior year period.
For the third quarter ended August 31, 2014, overall net sales were
$52.7 million compared to $29.4 million in the prior year comparative
period, or a 79% increase. We completed our acquisition of Hudson
Clothing Holdings, Inc. (“Hudson”) on September 30, 2013 and our results
for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 reflect the operation of Hudson as
one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Our overall gross profit for the quarter increased to $24.5 million from
$12.9 million in the prior year comparative period, or a 90% increase.
Our overall gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was 46%
compared to 44% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Operating expense
in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $20.7 million compared to $13.1
million a year ago. Our operating income was $3.8 million compared to an
operating loss of $295,000 in the prior year comparative period. We had
net income of $276,000 compared to a net loss of $287,000 in the prior
year period. As a result, our fully diluted earnings per share was
comparable at $0.00 for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013.
Marc Crossman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are
pleased with our results for the third quarter. On a historical combined
basis, we increased revenue, expanded gross margins, and grew operating
income.” Crossman continued, “Both our Joe’s® and Hudson® brands
experienced the same top line trends this quarter. More importantly, our
brands are well positioned with non-denim offerings as we move into the
fourth quarter. For example, our Joe’s® brand has created a fashion
forward fitness collection that launched just this month that will be
available not only with our existing retail partners, but also in
several new and significant fitness apparel retailers.”
Wholesale
Net sales for our wholesale segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2014
increased 98% to $45.5 million compared to $23.1 million in the year ago
period. Wholesale net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2014
included $22.1 million in wholesale net sales from Hudson®. Gross margin
percentages for our wholesale segment were 43% for the third quarter of
fiscal 2014 compared to 37% in the prior year comparable quarter. For
the third quarter, wholesale operating expense increased to $6.4 million
compared to $3.5 million in the year ago period. Our wholesale operating
income increased to $13.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014
compared to $5.2 million in the prior year comparative period.
Retail
Net sales from our retail segment in the third quarter increased 13% to
$7.1 million compared to $6.3 million in the prior year comparative
period. The growth in retail sales was driven by revenue contribution of
$585,000 from Hudson’s® e-shop as well as growing our store base by one
store in the comparative period. In addition, our same store sales,
which includes Joe’s® stores open at least 12 months and our Joe’s®
e-shop, decreased 2% during the quarter. Gross margin percentages for
our retail segment decreased to 65% from 67% in the year ago period and
were impacted by increased promotional activity at our retail outlet
stores as our competitors were more promotional. Retail operating
expense increased as a result of additional expenses associated with
expanding our store base compared to the prior year period and the
addition of the operation of Hudson’s® e-shop. Overall, for the third
quarter, we had an operating loss of $1.0 million compared to a loss of
$524,000 in the year ago period for our retail segment.
Corporate and Other
For the third quarter of fiscal 2014, our corporate and other expenses
were $8.6 million compared to $4.9 million in the third quarter a year
ago. Corporate and other expenses increased due to $4.7 million of
expenses associated with Hudson’s corporate operations for the third
quarter of fiscal 2014.

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, as amended. The matters discussed in this
document involved estimates, projections, goals, forecasts, assumptions,
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
All statements in this news release that are not purely historical
facts are forward-looking statements, including statements containing
the words “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect” or
similar expressions. Any forward-looking statement inherently
involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors
that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to: our ability to successfully integrate the business of Hudson
Clothing Holdings, Inc., or Hudson, and realize cost savings and any
other synergies; the ability to generate significant cost savings in the
third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2014; the ability to increase our
core results; unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise
from the transaction or the operation of our business; the inability to
retain key personnel; the diversion of management's time and attention
from our ongoing business during this time period, the impact of the
acquisition on our stock price, the anticipated benefits of the
acquisition on our financial results, business performance and product
offerings, the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or
its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect,
continued acceptance of our product, product demand, competition,
capital adequacy, general economic conditions and the potential
inability to raise additional capital, if required, the risk that the
Company will be unsuccessful in gauging fashion trends and changing
customer preferences; the risk that changes in general economic
conditions, consumer confidence, or consumer spending patterns will have
a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance or strategies;
the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business in the United
States and internationally and its dependence on consumer spending
patterns, which are influenced by numerous other factors; the Company’s
ability to respond to the business environment and fashion trends;
continued acceptance of the Company’s brands in the marketplace; the
ability to generate positive cash flow from operations; competitive
factors, including the possibility of major customers sourcing product
overseas in competition with our products; the risk that acts or
omissions by the Company’s first party vendors could have a negative
impact on the Company’s reputation; a possible oversupply of denim in
the marketplace; and other risks. The Company discusses certain
of these factors more fully in its additional filings with the SEC,
including its last annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, and
this release should be read in conjunction with that annual report
together with all of the Company’s other filings made with the SEC
through the date of this release. The Company urges you to
consider all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors carefully
in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this release.
Any forward-looking statement is based on information current as of
the date of this document and speaks only as of the date on which such
statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to
update these statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date on which such statement is made. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
