Oxford: Owner of Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Johnny Was Reports First Quarter Results
ATLANTA, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025 ended May 3, 2025. Consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $393 million compared to $398 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. EPS on a GAAP basis was $1.70 compared to $2.42 in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. On an adjusted basis, EPS was $1.82 compared to $2.66 in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Tom Chubb, Chairman and CEO, commented, 'We were able to deliver sales and adjusted EPS within our guidance ranges for the first quarter despite uncertain tariff and trade dynamics that are significantly impacting our industry and operating landscape. Despite the increasing headwinds, we were led by a low double digit increase at Lilly Pulitzer as the brand's current assortment is resonating strongly with its core consumer, and overall sales were only modestly lower than last year. At the same time, we were able to maintain strong gross margins above 64%." Mr. Chubb concluded, 'I am proud of the way the teams across our Company have responded swiftly to rapidly changing trade and tariff developments. Our teams have made meaningful progress in diversifying and shifting our supply chain to reduce our exposure to future tariff developments. We believe that our portfolio of differentiated lifestyle brands and strong balance sheet will enable us to navigate this uncertain period, manage the business to drive long-term shareholder value and provide an opportunity to gain market share in the current environment. We will continue to focus on what we can control, including executing our strategy and servicing our customers.' First Quarter of Fiscal 2025 versus Fiscal 2024 Net Sales by Operating Group First Quarter ($ in millions) 2025 2024 % Change Tommy Bahama $ 216.2 $ 225.6 (4.2 %) Lilly Pulitzer 99.0 88.4 12.0 % Johnny Was 43.5 51.2 (15.1 %) Emerging Brands 34.2 33.0 3.8 % Other (0.1 ) (0.1 ) NM Total Company $ 392.9 $ 398.2 (1.3 %) Consolidated net sales of $393 million decreased compared to sales of $398 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Full-price direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales decreased 3% to $249 million versus the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Full-price retail sales of $135 million were 1% lower than the prior-year period. E-commerce sales of $114 million were 5% lower than the prior-year period. Outlet sales of $18 million were comparable to the prior period. Food and beverage sales were $34 million, a 3% decrease versus the prior-year period. Wholesale sales increased 4% to $92 million versus the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross margin was 64.2% on a GAAP basis, compared to 64.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. On an adjusted basis, gross margin was 64.3% compared to 65.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decreased gross margin on a GAAP basis was primarily due to (1) increased freight expenses to e-commerce customers at Tommy Bahama, (2) increased markdowns during clearance events at Lilly Pulitzer and Johnny Was and (3) a change in sales mix with wholesale sales, including off-priced wholesale sales, representing a higher proportion of net sales. We also incurred $1 million of additional charges in cost of goods sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 resulting from the U.S. tariffs on imported goods implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. These decreases were partially offset by a $2 million lower LIFO accounting charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. SG&A was $223 million compared to $213 million last year with approximately $6 million, or 59%, of the increase is related to increases in employment costs, occupancy costs and depreciation expense due to the opening of 31 new brick and mortar retail locations since the first quarter of fiscal 2024. This includes the 8 net new stores including 2 Tommy Bahama Marlin Bars opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. We also incurred pre-opening expenses related to some of the approximately 7 additional stores planned to open during the remainder of fiscal 2025, including an additional Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar. On an adjusted basis, SG&A was $221 million compared to $210 million in the prior-year period. Royalties and other operating income decreased $1 million to $7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to decreased royalty income in Tommy Bahama reflecting the lower sales of our licensing partners. Operating income was $36 million, or 9.2% of net sales, compared to $52 million, or 13.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. On an adjusted basis, operating income decreased to $39 million, or 9.8% of net sales, compared to $57 million, or 14.4% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Interest expense increased to $2 million from $1 million in the prior year period. The increased interest expense was primarily due to a higher average outstanding debt balance during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 than the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 24.1% which primarily reflects the benefit derived from a reduction in income tax expense as a result of the receipt of interest from a U.S. federal income tax receivable and the remeasurement of deferred tax balances due to changes in state tax rates partially offset by a net increase to uncertain tax positions during the quarter. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was 25.6% which primarily reflects the unfavorable remeasurement of deferred tax assets and an increase to uncertain tax positions partially offset by a favorable return-to-provision adjustment for a foreign subsidiary. Balance Sheet and Liquidity Inventory increased $18 million, or 12%, on a LIFO basis and $20 million, or 9%, on a FIFO basis compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Inventories increased in all operating segments with the exception of Johnny Was due primarily to impacts associated with the U.S. tariffs that were implemented in first quarter of fiscal 2025 including (1) accelerated purchases of inventory before the anticipated implementation of increased tariffs and (2) increased costs capitalized into inventory after the implementation of the tariffs. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our inventory balances included an additional $3 million of costs associated with the increased tariffs implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, cash used in operations was $4 million compared to cash provided by operations of $33 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The cash used in operations reflects the result of lower net earnings, working capital needs, including accelerating inventory purchases, and $12 million of capitalizable implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements. Borrowings outstanding increased to $118 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $19 million and $31 million of borrowings outstanding at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, share repurchases of $51 million, capital expenditures of $23 million primarily associated with the project to build a new distribution center in Lyons, Georgia, and the opening of eight new stores, including two Tommy Bahama Marlin Bars, $12 million of capitalizable implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements, dividend payments of $10 million, and working capital requirements exceeded cash flow from operations. The Company had $8 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of both the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Dividend The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.69 per share. The dividend is payable on August 1, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 18, 2025. The Company has paid dividends every quarter since it became publicly owned in 1960. Outlook For fiscal 2025 ending on January 31, 2026, the Company revised its sales and EPS guidance. The Company now expects net sales in a range of $1.475 billion to $1.515 billion as compared to net sales of $1.52 billion in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2025, GAAP EPS is expected to be between $2.28 and $2.68 compared to fiscal 2024 GAAP EPS of $5.87. Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $2.80 and $3.20, compared to fiscal 2024 adjusted EPS of $6.68. The revised fiscal 2025 EPS and adjusted EPS guidance includes $40 million in additional tariff costs, or $2.00 per share on an after-tax basis. For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company expects net sales to be between $395 million and $415 million compared to net sales of $420 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. GAAP EPS is expected to be between $0.92 and $1.12 in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to a GAAP EPS of $2.57 in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $1.05 and $1.25 compared to adjusted EPS of $2.77 in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The revised second quarter of fiscal 2025 EPS guidance includes $15 million in additional tariff costs, or $0.75 per share on an after-tax basis. The Company anticipates interest expense of $8 million in fiscal 2025, with interest expense expected to be between $1 million and $2 million per quarter for the remainder of fiscal 2025. The Company's effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 26% for the full year of fiscal 2025. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2025, including the $23 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, are expected to be approximately $120 million compared to $134 million in fiscal 2024. The planned year-over-year decrease relates primarily to lower anticipated new store openings in fiscal 2025. The Company expects a year-over-year net increase of approximately 15 full price stores by the end of fiscal 2025, including three new Marlin Bars. The $120 million in expected capital expenditures in fiscal 2025 includes capital expenditures of approximately $70 million related to the completion of the project to build a new distribution center in Lyons, Georgia, including $10 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, and capital expenditures related to new stores and Tommy Bahama Marlin Bars.
