SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Levi Strauss & Co. (LS&Co.) announced financial results today for the second quarter ended May 31, 2015.
Highlights include:
| Three Months Ended | % Increase (Decrease) | |||||||||
| ($ millions) | May 31, 2015 | May 25, 2014 | As Reported | |||||||
| Net revenues | $ | 1,012 | $ | 1,082 | (6)% | |||||
| Net income attributable to LS&Co. | $ | 12 | $ | 11 | 2% | |||||
| Adjusted EBIT | $ | 63 | $ | 93 | (32)% | |||||
Net revenues declined six percent on a reported basis and grew one percent on a constant-currency basis. Lower sales at wholesale, primarily in the Americas, were offset by increased sales from the retail network in Europe and Asia. Net income was impacted by a $14 million loss on debt retirement in conjunction with the April refinancing of notes scheduled to mature in 2020. Adjusted EBIT declined thirty-two percent on a reported basis and twenty percent on a constant-currency basis primarily reflecting increased advertising spend and investment in the company's direct-to-consumer channels.
“In an environment that continues to be challenging, we were pleased to grow second quarter revenues on a constant-currency basis, due to our strong results in Europe and Asia,” said Chip Bergh, president and chief executive officer. “We continue to focus on what we can control, and make investments to generate consumer demand. As we move into the second half of 2015, we remain confident in our ability to grow full-year sales and adjusted EBIT on a currency-neutral basis, and look forward to the full global reset of our Levi's® women's product line.”
Second-Quarter 2015 Highlights
- On a reported basis, gross profit in the second quarter declined to $500 million compared with $530 million for the same quarter of 2014, and gross margin for the second quarter grew to 49.4 percent of revenues compared with 49.0 percent of revenues in the same quarter of 2014. Excluding $43 million in unfavorable currency translation effects, gross margin improved 80 basis points, primarily due to lower negotiated product costs and a streamlined supply chain.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of $450 million grew $4 million compared with the same quarter of 2014. Currency favorably impacted SG&A by $29 million. Excluding currency, higher costs reflected the expansion of the company's retail network and ecommerce business as well as earlier timing of advertising investment.
- Adjusted EBIT, which excludes the charges associated with the company’s global productivity initiative and debt refinancing, was $63 million, down from $93 million in the same quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting unfavorable currency effects and the higher SG&A. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT is provided at the end of this press release.
- Operating income of $48 million in the second quarter was down from $65 million in the same quarter of 2014 reflecting lower Adjusted EBIT and lower restructuring charges.
Regional Overview
Reported regional net revenues and operating income for the quarter were as follows:
| Net Revenues | Operating Income * | |||||||||||
| Three Months Ended |

|||||||||
| ($ millions) | May 31, 2015 | May 25, 2014 | May 31, 2015 | May 25, 2014 | ||||||||
| Americas | $622 | $645 | (4)% | $103 | $109 | (6)% | ||||||

| Asia | $168 | $176 | (5)% | $15 | $24 | (38)% | ||||||
* Note: Regional operating income is equal to regional adjusted EBIT.
- Net revenues in the Americas declined primarily due to the loss of women’s Dockers® products at wholesale as that business transitions to a license model. Operating income declined due to increased advertising and direct-to-consumer channel investment as well as lower net revenues, partially offset by a higher gross margin. Currency unfavorably impacted net revenues by approximately 200 basis points.
- In Europe, currency translation unfavorably impacted net revenues and operating income by $56 million and $11 million, respectively. Excluding the currency effects, net revenues grew eight percent and operating income grew twenty-four percent, reflecting growth from performance and expansion of the company-operated retail network.
- In Asia, net revenues were down five percent and operating income was down 38 percent on a reported basis. Excluding currency effects, net revenues and operating income grew two percent and declined thirty-four percent, respectively, reflecting growth in the company-operated retail network in a promotional environment.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
At May 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents of $285 million were complemented by $533 million available under the company's revolving credit facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of approximately $818 million. Net debt at the end of the second quarter remained $0.9 billion. Free cash flow through the second quarter of 2015 was $8 million.
Global Productivity Initiative
Restructuring and related charges associated with the company's global productivity initiative primarily reflect severance benefit costs, pension plan curtailment gains and losses, other expenses associated with staffing reductions, and consulting fees primarily related to centrally-led cost-savings and procurement projects, as well as transition costs associated with the decision to outsource certain global business service activities. Actions taken to date for the global productivity initiative are expected to deliver net annualized savings of $125 – $150 million, relative to the cost structure of the company and foreign currency exchange rates prior to the commencement of the initiative. The company anticipates that it will incur additional restructuring charges related to the global productivity initiative, and now expects that the majority of the related actions will be implemented by the end of 2016. The company continues to believe that upon completion it will realize net annualized benefits of $175 – 200 million, relative to the cost structure and profitability of the company and foreign currency exchange rates prior to the commencement of the initiative.
The company expects additional savings in future periods to come from streamlining its planning and go-to-market strategies, implementing efficiencies across its retail, supply chain and distribution network, and pursuing improved procurement practices.

Forward Looking Statement
This news release contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the statements related to: estimated long-term savings from the global productivity initiative; additional restructuring charges related to the global productivity initiative; related expected additional savings in future periods and the origin thereof; and the ability to grow full-year sales and adjusted EBIT on a constant-currency basis. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. We use words like “believe,” “will,” “so we can,” “when,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Investors should consider the information contained in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2014 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2015, especially in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results, performance or achievements.
In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this news release may not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this news release. We are not under any obligation and do not intend to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained in this news release to reflect circumstances existing after the date of this news release or to reflect the occurrence of future events even if experience or future events make it clear that any expected results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements will not be realized.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company reports its financial results in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules of the SEC. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Adjusted EBIT, provide users of the company’s financial information with additional useful information. The tables found below include Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Adjusted EBIT and corresponding reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of these items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the company’s actual financial condition and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitation as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management in determining how they are formulated. Some specific limitations, include but are not limited to, the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures: (a) do not reflect cash outlays for capital expenditures, contractual commitments or liabilities including pension obligations, post-retirement health benefit obligations and income tax liabilities, (b) do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital requirements; and (c) they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on indebtedness. Additionally, the methods used by the company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies, limiting the usefulness of these measures. The company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
The company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Adjusted EBIT, because it believes they provide investors, financial analysts and the public with additional information to measure performance and evaluate the company’s ability to service its debt and may be useful for comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures and tax rates. The company further believes these measures may be useful for period-over-period comparisons of underlying business trends and its ongoing operations.
See “RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2015” below for reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES |
|
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2015 |
The following information relates to non-GAAP financial measures, and should be read in conjunction with the investor call held on July 10, 2015, discussing the company’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2015. Free cash flow, Net debt and Adjusted EBIT are not financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
