Back-to-School a good season for Genesco

03 Sep '11
5 min read

Genesco Inc. reported earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter ended July 30, 2011, of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended July 31, 2010. The fiscal 2012 second quarter results reflect pretax charges of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share after tax, related primarily to fixed asset impairments.

Additionally, they reflect pretax compensation expense of $1.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, related to deferred purchase price payments in connection with the acquisition of Schuh Group Limited in June 2011, and pretax charges of $6.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share after tax, in costs incurred in connection with the acquisition. As previously announced, because the obligation to pay the deferred purchase price for Schuh is contingent upon the continued employment of the payees, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that it be treated as compensation expense. The fiscal 2011 second quarter loss included pretax charges of $3.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to fixed asset impairments, purchase price accounting adjustments and other expense.

Excluding the listed items from both periods, fiscal 2012 second quarter earnings from continuing operations were $5.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. For consistency with fiscal 2012's previously announced earnings expectations and with previously reported adjusted results for the prior year period, the Company believes that the disclosure of the results from continuing operations adjusted for these items will be useful to investors.

Additionally, the Company believes that presentation of earnings from continuing operations before the compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price will enable investors to understand the effect attributable to incorporating a continuing employment condition into the obligation to pay deferred purchase price and that, since the compensation expense is a non-cash charge until the deferred purchase price is actually paid, earnings including such expense may not be fully reflective of the Company's ongoing results or indicative of its prospects. A reconciliation of earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles with the adjusted earnings and earnings per share numbers presented in this paragraph is set forth on Schedule B to this press release.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 29% to $471 million, from $364 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Comparable store sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased by 14%, with the Lids Sports Group up 12%, the Journeys Group up 15%, the Johnston & Murphy Group up 17%, and the Underground Station Group up 10%.
