NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RTW Retailwinds, Inc. [NYSE:RTW], formerly known as New York & Company, Inc. [NYSE: NWY], an omni-channel specialty apparel retail platform for powerful celebrity and consumer brands, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2018 representing the 13-weeks and 52-weeks ended February 2, 2019, respectively. This compares to the 14-week fourth quarter and 53-week full year of fiscal 2017, which ended February 3, 2018.
Gregory Scott, RTW Retailwinds, Inc. CEO stated: “While our fourth quarter results were in line with our updated guidance and the year included significant progress toward our goals, we were disappointed to see the momentum in our business soften in January. The challenges we experienced in the fourth quarter reflected declines in traffic and new customer acquisition as well as decreased product acceptance in our SoHo Jeans sub-brand. We are rebalancing are marketing media mix towards new customer acquisition, have made leadership changes in our digital organization, and are adjusting our go-forward assortments in SoHo Jeans to improve the overall trend. Despite this, 2018 was a highly productive year. In fact, financially the year saw increased comparable sales, expansion in gross margin, expense discipline, and inventory management resulting in a $2.5 million increase in adjusted operating income as compared to fiscal 2017. Strategically, the year included a significant milestone for our Company, as we changed our name to RTW Retailwinds. This transformation to RTW establishes a strong and distinct corporate identity reflecting our vision to maximize the power of our platform to create destination celebrity and lifestyle brand assortments across categories and channels. Throughout 2018, we delivered positive comp results in our celebrity collaborations, including our successful Eva Mendes and Gabrielle Union collections, as well as comp increases in our largest sub-brand, 7th Avenue. We also introduced Kate Hudson as our SoHo Jeans sub-brand ambassador and look forward to improving results across our casual sub-brand. Finally, we are pleased to end the year with a strong balance sheet that gives us the flexibility to fund our growth initiatives and deliver positive cash flow.”
“We begin 2019 focused on the execution of our multi-brand portfolio vision and believe we have identified the right actions to address our traffic, customer acquisition, and digital opportunities,” Mr. Scott continued. “We remain intensely focused on the future growth of our core New York & Company brand where our celebrity collaborations continue to drive brand awareness and a critical point of differentiation. We are executing against our strategic plan to grow our Fashion to Figure business. In addition, we are bringing to market two digitally native brands, including Happy x Nature, Kate Hudson’s first ready-to-wear collection launching on April 4th, and Uncommon Sense, our lingerie lifestyle brand which we believe is positioned to capture share given the disruption that is occurring in this market. While first quarter guidance reflects the expectation that the trends we saw in January continued, we are confident in our strategy and expect the execution of our initiatives to position us to achieve our goal of long-term sustained profitable growth.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2018 Results (13-week period ended February 2, 2019 as compared to the 14-week period ended February 3, 2018):
As it relates to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company noted the following:
- Net sales were $247.3 million, as compared to $278.7 million in the prior year, reflecting a reduction in comparable store sales, a reduction in store count by 36 closed stores, and the impact of the 53-week year in the prior year, partially offset by the inclusion of sales from Fashion to Figure. The 53rd week of sales in fiscal year 2017 contributed $12.5 million of sales.
- Comparable store sales decreased 1.5%, as compared to the same period last year, representing a decline in the Company’s brick-and-mortar business, partially offset by growth in the Fashion to Figure brand. All quarterly comparable store sales results are based on a 13-week comparable time period.
- Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 70 basis points to 28.8% versus fiscal year 2017 fourth quarter gross profit percentage of 29.5%. The decrease reflects increased promotional activity, partially offset by increased leverage of buying and occupancy costs.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4.3 million to $72.9 million, or 29.5% of net sales, as compared to $77.2 million, or 27.7% of net sales in the prior year period. The current year’s quarterly results included $1.7 million of non-operating charges primarily related to executive severance expense. The prior year included $0.3 million of non-operating charges primarily related to certain consulting expenses. On a non-GAAP basis, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $5.8 million to $71.2 million, or 28.8% of net sales, as compared to non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses of $77.0 million, or 27.6% of net sales in the prior year. The decrease reflects the reduction of payroll, a decrease in incentive compensation and the elimination of the extra 53rd week from last year.
- GAAP operating results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, inclusive of $1.6 million of new business startup losses associated with the three new businesses, $1.1 million of non-cash asset impairment costs and $1.7 million of severance and other non-operating charges, reflected a loss of $1.6 million, as compared to operating income of $5.0 million in the prior year. Excluding the non-operating charges, non-GAAP operating income was $0.1 million, which met the Company’s guidance of approximately breakeven, and compares to the prior year’s non-GAAP operating income of $5.3 million.
- Provision for income taxes was $2.4 million in the quarter reflecting a $1.6 million assessment related to a multi-year state tax audit, as well as the adjustment of various other state tax reserves. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance of $56.0 million, offsetting all deferred tax benefits.
- GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $3.6 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income of $4.7 million, or earnings of $0.07 per diluted share in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, the fourth quarter adjusted net loss was $0.3 million, or breakeven per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income of $5.0 million, or earnings of $0.08 per diluted share last year.
Please refer to the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Exhibit 5 of this press release, which delineates the non-operating adjustments for the 13 weeks ended February 2, 2019 and the 14 weeks ended February 3, 2018. GAAP is defined as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States.
Full Fiscal Year 2018 Results (52-week period ended February 2, 2019 as compared to the 53-week period ended February 3, 2018):
- Net sales were $893.2 million for fiscal year 2018, as compared to $926.9 million for fiscal year 2017. The reduction reflects a reduction in store count and the elimination of the 53rd week from last year, partially offset by the addition of Fashion to Figure and growth in eCommerce. Comparable store sales increased 0.4%, as compared to the same period last year. All full fiscal year comparable store sales results are based on a 52-week comparable time period.
- GAAP operating income was $6.5 million. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted operating income was $10.2 million. This compares to GAAP operating income of $6.9 million and non-GAAP, adjusted operating income of $7.7 million for fiscal year 2017.
- Net income was $4.2 million, or earnings of $0.06 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $9.6 million, or earnings of $0.15 per diluted share. This compares to the prior fiscal year net income of $5.7 million, or earnings of $0.09 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, prior year adjusted net income was $6.4 million, or earnings of $0.10 per diluted share.
- Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2018 was $33.2 million, as compared to $30.4 million in fiscal year 2017. Please refer to the “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” in Exhibit 7 of this press release, which reconciles net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017.
Please refer to the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Exhibit 6 of this press release, which delineates the non-operating adjustments for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2019 and the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2018.
Other Financial and Operational Highlights:
- Total quarter end inventory decreased 2.0%, as compared to the prior year period, reflecting lower store count and reductions in eCommerce inventory, partially offset by an increase due to the growing Fashion to Figure business.
- Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $4.8 million, as compared to $4.7 million in the prior year period.
- During the fourth quarter, the Company opened 1 Fashion to Figure store, closed 18 locations, and remodeled/refreshed 1 existing location ending the fourth quarter with 411 stores, including 119 Outlet stores (which includes 58 clearance stores) and 2.0 million selling square feet in operation.
- The Company ended the fourth quarter with $95.5 million of cash on-hand, no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and no long-term debt.
Outlook:
Regarding expectations for fiscal year 2019, the Company continues to focus on growth and focus on improving its operating results to drive increases in both annual operating income and EBITDA.
As has been widely reported, February’s retail industry performance has been below expectations and the Company believes its results were impacted by factors that are temporary and macro-related which are negatively impacting traffic, further exacerbated by customer acquisition which the Company is addressing by rebalancing its marketing media mix towards new customer acquisition and leadership changes to the digital organization. For the Spring season, combined first and second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company expects comparable store sales to decrease in the low single-digit percentage range. The Company expects GAAP operating income to be in the range of breakeven to a profit of $2 million, with losses in the first quarter offset by profitability in the second quarter. These results are inclusive of approximately $2.5 million of new business startup losses for the combined new businesses during the full spring season.
For the first quarter, the Company is expecting the following:
- Net sales are expected to decrease in the high single-digit range, reflecting the reduced store count, combined with reductions in comparable store sales in the mid single-digit percentage range.
- Gross margin on a GAAP basis is expected to decrease 100 to 150 basis points, reflecting continued improvements in product margin, resulting from decreased product cost and reduced promotional activity, offset by increased shipping costs.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses on a GAAP basis are expected to decrease by approximately $1 million versus the prior year’s first quarter. This reflects reductions in variable compensation and reduced payroll, partially offset by an increase in marketing to drive sales and an increase in selling expenses driven by higher eCommerce variable costs.
Additional Outlook:
- On-hand inventory at the end of the first quarter is expected to increase in the mid single-digit percentage range, as compared to the prior year, largely reflecting increased inventory levels to support new businesses and a shift in the timing of receipts.
- Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 are projected to be approximately $3 million to support new businesses and ongoing store remodel activity, as compared to $0.3 million of capital expenditures in the first quarter of the prior year. For the full year, capital expenditures are projected to be $12 million to $13 million, as compared to $8.5 million in capital expenditures in the prior year.
- Depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 is estimated to be approximately $17 million, inclusive of approximately $12 million attributable to amortization of the Company’s Right-Of-Use Asset resulting from the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842, “Leases” on the first day of fiscal year 2019.
- During the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company expects to open 1 New York & Company store and 2 Fashion to Figure stores, remodel/refresh 4 existing stores, and close 2 locations.
- For fiscal year 2019, the Company expects to open approximately 8 New York & Company stores and 8 Fashion to Figure stores, remodel/refresh 8 existing stores, and close 15 to 20 stores, ending the fiscal year with roughly 407 to 412 stores, and approximately 2.0 million selling square feet.
Comparable Store Sales:
A store is included in the comparable store sales calculation after it has completed 13 full fiscal months of operations from the store's opening date or once it has been reopened after remodeling if the gross square footage did not change by more than 20%. Sales from the Company's eCommerce store, including Fashion to Figure eCommerce sales, and private label credit card royalties and related revenue are included in comparable store sales. Fashion to Figure retail locations are not included in comparable store sales calculations until they complete 13 full fiscal months of operation. In addition, in a year with 53 weeks, sales in the last week of the year are not included in determining comparable store sales.

Reconciliation of
GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
A reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP to non-GAAP financial statement information for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2019 and the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2018 is indicated below. This information reflects, on a non-GAAP basis, the Company’s adjusted operating results after excluding certain non-operating adjustments. This non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP adjusted results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding expenses and credits that the Company believes are not indicative of the Company’s continuing operating results. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or as being superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
