Hope Place steps in to help Kpg Parang mother facing overwhelming hardship
Hope Place representative Mary Vun (left) delivers the aid to Nur Nadirah and her family during the recent visit. KUCHING (May 30): Hope Place recently extended assistance to a struggling family in Kampung Parang by providing essential food aid, school supplies, and toys. The beneficiary, 33-year-old Nur Nadirah Zainuddin, has been grappling with depression since losing her husband to a stroke and brain haemorrhage last year. The hardship has become more intensified as she now cares not only for her two young children, aged six and 11, but also for her elderly mother. Hope Place, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), said Nur Nadirah's elder son, Huszzain, has severe autism and attends special classes, while her younger son, Umair, suffers from speech delay syndrome. 'Umair can only say a few simple words, which deeply concerns Nur Nadirah. Huzzain, on the other hand, is prone to emotional outburst and tantrums,' said the NGO in a statement, noting that these challenges have further affected her mental well-being. 'Nur Nadirah once worked as a cleaner but she had to quit her job after her husband died and she moved back to her mother's home since then,' it added. The situation was compounded earlier this year with the death of her twin sister from kidney failure, adding another emotional blow to Nur Nadirah. Currently, she is undergoing counselling sessions at a polyclinic in Kota Samarahan in an effort to rebuild her emotional strength. 'Despite these challenges, Nur Nadirah continues to fight for her family's survival. 'Together with her mother, she operates a small roadside food stall selling handmade 'kuih' such as curry puffs and traditional Malay cakes. 'However, poor location and lack of customers hinder their sales. 'Nur Nadirah hopes to secure a spot at a nearby wet market where business prospects are better,' said Hope Place. It is also understood that Nur Nadirah applied for monthly social welfare assistance last month. Hope Place welcomes donations to support Nur Nadirah and families like hers. For contributions or more information, the NGO can be contacted on 082-505 987 or 013-567 2775. aid assistance Hope Place Kampung Parang Kuching lead single mother

The Children's Place Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results
Reports Third Consecutive Quarter of Adjusted Operating Profits Net Sales of $409 million for Fourth Quarter and $1.386 billion for Full Year Significant Improvement in Gross Profit Margin to 29% for Fourth Quarter and 33% for Full Year Lowest Level of SG&A Spending in more than 15 Years during Fourth Quarter and Full Year Improvement in Operating Income of $68.6 million for Fourth Quarter 2024 versus 2023 Significant Improvement in Liquidity Position with Completion of $90 Million Rights Offering subsequent to Year-End SECAUCUS, N.J., April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Children's Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE), the largest pure-play children's specialty retailer in North America with an omni-channel portfolio of brands and an industry-leading digital-first model, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended February 1, 2025. Muhammad Umair, President and Interim Chief Executive Officer said, 'During the fourth quarter, we continued our efforts to expand gross margin, reduce inefficient SG&A spending and remain laser-focused on improving the profitability of the business, which has enabled us to achieve a third consecutive quarter of adjusted operating profits. As expected, along with the ongoing transformation of our business model, these strategic changes and other macroeconomic headwinds have continued to put pressure on top-line sales. However, we remain extremely pleased with the resulting sequential improvement in the gross profit margin for all four quarters this year.' Mr. Umair added, 'With the recent completion of our rights offering, we were also successful in deleveraging our balance sheet. We were able to raise additional capital of $90 million, with $29.8 million in gross cash proceeds, and the remaining $60.2 million being used to pay down a substantial portion of our first term loan from Mithaq. A pro forma balance sheet has been presented in this press release to reflect the impact of the rights offering on our balance sheet, had it been settled prior to the close of our fiscal 2024 year-end.' Mr. Umair continued, 'Looking ahead for fiscal 2025, we remain determined to deliver profitable top-line sales as we continue to refine our omni-channel strategy and rebalance our product mix, by offering relevant product that resonates with parents. As we continue to optimize our marketing spend, we will re-invest in a revitalized loyalty program with a best-in-class unified customer database that will allow us to acquire, retain and reactivate our customers. As part of our reimagined business strategy, we are committed to strengthening and enhancing our store portfolio by improving the performance of our existing store fleet, while developing innovative designs to be used in targeted store openings for both The Children's Place and Gymboree brands in the back-half of 2025 and beyond. Our Executive Chairman, Turki S. AlRajhi, provides a long-term outlook for the Company, with further details on these strategic initiatives and other business priorities, in his letter to shareholders that can be found on our corporate website at: Mr. Umair concluded, 'At a time when many families are already feeling pressure on their wallets, potential tariffs could represent additional headwinds for the apparel sector. We do expect margin pressure as a result, though we believe our existing country migration and diversification strategies have us well-positioned to partially offset potential impacts. At the same time, we see an opportunity as families grow increasingly value-conscious to continue to deliver quality at accessible prices, which can position us to capture trade-down traffic and support our customers when they need us most.' Fourth Quarter 2024 Results Net sales decreased $46.4 million, or 10.2%, to $408.6 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $455.0 million in the three months ended February 3, 2024. The decrease in net sales was driven by a combination of the anticipated decrease in e-commerce revenue, as the Company proactively rationalized its unprofitable promotional strategies, inflated marketing spending and 'free shipping' offers to improve profitability. The Company also experienced a decrease in brick-and-mortar revenue due to a lower store count and lower sales volume. This was partially offset by an increase in wholesale revenue, as we continue to strengthen relationships with our partners. We are exploring opportunities to expand our wholesale relationships and identify new revenue streams that can drive further revenue growth and profitability. Comparable retail sales decreased 15.3% for the quarter, largely driven by the planned decrease in e-commerce revenue, as the Company proactively sacrificed unprofitable sales to improve profitability. Gross profit increased $17.7 million to $116.6 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $98.9 million in the three months ended February 3, 2024. The gross margin rate increased 680 basis points to 28.5% during the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to 21.7% in the prior year period. The increase in margin was caused by a combination of factors, including reductions in product input costs, including cotton and supply chain costs, which negatively impacted margins in the prior year. These improvements in input costs were combined with the success of the Company's strategies to rationalize profit-draining promotions and limit unprofitable shipping offers, in addition to optimized shipping carrier rates, which resulted in a significant reduction in freight costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were well-controlled at $100.6 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $117.6 million in the three months ended February 3, 2024. Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses were $99.5 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $118.7 million in the comparable period last year, and leveraged 170 basis points to 24.4% of net sales, despite the planned lower sales. This decrease was due to significant reductions in marketing expenses, as the Company eliminated inflated and unprofitable marketing costs and to a lesser extent, due to reductions in store payroll and corporate payroll. Similar to the third quarter, this represents the lowest level of Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses in more than 15 years for the fourth quarter of a fiscal year. Operating income was $6.8 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to Operating loss of $(61.8) million in the three months ended February 3, 2024. Adjusted operating income was $8.3 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to an Adjusted operating loss of $(30.9) million in the comparable period last year, and leveraged 880 basis points to 2.0% of net sales. Net interest expense was $8.7 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $8.5 million in the three months ended February 3, 2024. The increase was due to the higher amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the unsecured loans entered into with the Company's majority shareholder, Mithaq Capital SPC ('Mithaq'), partially offset by lower average interest rates associated with the Company's revolving credit facility. Provision for income taxes was $6.1 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $58.6 million during the three months ended February 3, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the establishment of a valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets in the comparable period last year. The Company continues to adjust the valuation allowance based upon its ongoing operating results. Net loss was $(8.0) million, or $(0.62) per diluted share, in the three months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $(128.8) million, or $(10.24) per diluted share, in the three months ended February 3, 2024. Adjusted net loss was $(9.6) million, or $(0.75) per diluted share, compared to $(92.7) million, or $(7.37) per diluted share, in the comparable period last year. Fiscal Year 2024 Results Net sales decreased $216.2 million, or 13.5%, to $1.386 billion in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $1.603 billion in the twelve months ended February 3, 2024. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to anticipated declines in e-commerce demand due to the rationalization of promotions, reductions in inflated and unprofitable marketing spend and the strategic decision to change 'free shipping' offers, as the Company proactively sacrificed unprofitable sales in an effort to improve profitability. The Company also experienced a decrease in brick-and-mortar revenue due to a lower store count and lower sales volume. This was partially offset by an increase in wholesale revenue, as we continue to strengthen relationships with our partners. Comparable retail sales decreased 13.4% for the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, largely due to the planned decrease in e-commerce revenue. Gross profit increased $14.2 million to $459.5 million in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $445.3 million in the twelve months ended February 3, 2024. The gross margin rate increased 530 basis points to 33.1% during the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to 27.8% in the prior year period. The increase in margin was primarily due to reductions in product input costs, including cotton and supply chain costs, which negatively impacted margins in the prior year. These improvements in input costs were combined with the success of the Company's strategies to rationalize profit-draining promotions and limit unprofitable shipping offers, in addition to optimized shipping carrier rates, which resulted in a significant reduction in freight costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $405.6 million in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $447.3 million in the twelve months ended February 3, 2024. Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses were $370.3 million in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $432.5 million in the prior year, and leveraged 30 basis points to 26.7% of net sales. This decrease was due to significant reductions in marketing expenses, as the Company eliminated inflated and unprofitable marketing costs and to a lesser extent, due to reductions in store payroll, corporate payroll and professional fees. The Company was successful in reducing Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses by $62.3 million despite an increase in incentive compensation and equity compensation of $11.1 million. This represents the lowest level of Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses in more than 15 years for a full fiscal year. Operating loss was $(13.7) million in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $(83.8) million in the twelve months ended February 3, 2024. Operating loss was impacted by incremental expenses of $66.4 million, which included an impairment charge of $28.0 million on the Gymboree tradename, primarily due to reductions in Gymboree sales forecasts, restructuring costs of $11.7 million primarily due to changes in the senior leadership team, several charges due to the Company's change of control due to the investment in the Company by Mithaq, including $10.8 million of non-cash equity compensation charges and $3.8 million in other fees, and $7.0 million of financing-related charges related to several new financing initiatives. These charges have been classified as non-GAAP adjustments leading to a shift back to profitability with an Adjusted operating income of $52.7 million in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, or an improvement of $85.2 million compared to an Adjusted operating loss of $(32.5) million in the prior year, and leveraged 580 basis points to 3.8% of net sales. Net interest expense was $35.7 million in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $30.0 million in the twelve months ended February 3, 2024. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by higher interest-equivalent charges from loans entered into with Mithaq, and higher average interest rates associated with the Company's revolving credit facility due to the impact of refinancings, partially offset by lower average borrowings on the revolving credit facility. Provision for income taxes was $8.4 million in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $40.7 million during the twelve months ended February 3, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the establishment of a valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets in the prior year and a shift in the jurisdictional earnings mix. The Company continues to adjust the valuation allowance based upon its ongoing operating results. Net loss, which included certain non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges, and charges due to the Company's change in control, was $(57.8) million, or $(4.53) per diluted share, in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025, compared to $(154.5) million, or $(12.34) per diluted share, in the twelve months ended February 3, 2024. Adjusted net income was $5.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to an Adjusted net loss of $(103.3) million, or $(8.25) per diluted share, in the prior year. Store Update During the fourth quarter, the Company opened its first new store in more than two years, which was a Gymboree stand-alone store located in Garden State Plaza Mall. The Company closed 16 stores in the three months ended February 1, 2025, and ended the year with 495 stores. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow As of February 1, 2025, the Company had $5.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $40.2 million of borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility and an additional $40.0 million of availability under the unsecured Commitment Letter provided by Mithaq, representing total liquidity of $85.5 million. The Company had $245.7 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility and has not drawn down on its Mithaq credit facility. Additionally, the Company used $117.6 million in operating cash flows in the twelve months ended February 1, 2025. Inventories were $399.6 million as of February 1, 2025, compared to $362.1 million as of February 3, 2024. On February 6, 2025, the Company raised $90 million in capital and issued 9.2 million shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the completion of its rights offering. The shares issued were settled through the receipt of $29.8 million in cash, which was substantially used to prepay amounts owed under our revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo and other bank lenders, and a reduction of $60.2 million in the amount owed by the Company under its first term loan from Mithaq. Had the transaction been completed on February 1, 2025, the cash available to prepay our revolving credit facility would have increased to $35.2 million and our aggregate long-term debt due to Mithaq would have decreased to $106.8 million, as of the end of the fiscal year. Refer to the 'Pro forma Balance Sheet' presented later in this press release which reflects the impact of the rights offering on the Company's financial position. Non-GAAP Reconciliation The Company's results are reported in this press release on a GAAP and as adjusted, non-GAAP basis. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, and adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP measures, and are not intended to replace GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes the income and expense items excluded as non-GAAP adjustments are not reflective of the performance of its core business, and that providing this supplemental disclosure to investors will facilitate comparisons of the past and present performance of its core business. Please refer to the 'Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP' later in this press release, which sets forth the non-GAAP operating adjustments for the 13-week period and 52-week period ended February 1, 2025, and for the 14-week period and 53-week period ended February 3, 2024.
