Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation reported 2009 third quarter and year to date results.
Highlights of Third Quarter of 2009 Results:
• Earnings per share was $1.08 on a non-GAAP basis, which exceeded the high end of the Company's guidance and the consensus estimate. This improvement was fueled by stronger than expected revenue and gross margin in all businesses, as well as a shift in planned advertising expenditures of $5 million from the third quarter into the fourth quarter. The prior year's third quarter earnings per share was $1.10 on a non-GAAP basis.
• GAAP earnings per share was $1.58, which included a tax benefit of $30.4 million related to the lapse of the statute of limitations with respect to certain previously unrecognized tax positions. GAAP earnings per share in the prior year's third quarter was $1.03.
• Revenue was $697.4 million, which exceeded the high end of the Company's guidance. This amount was relatively flat to the prior year's third quarter revenue on a non-GAAP basis of $698.9 million, which excludes $28.6 million of revenue associated with the Company's exited Geoffrey Beene outlet retail division. On a GAAP basis, revenue decreased 4% from $727.5 million.
CEO Comments:
Commenting on these results, Emanuel Chirico, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “We are extremely pleased with our third quarter results. The improvement in business trends we experienced in the second quarter intensified during the third quarter and enabled us to significantly exceed our previous revenue and earnings guidance. We are fortunate to have such a strong stable of brands. The global strength of the Calvin Klein brand was evident in this quarter's 9% growth in royalty revenue. Additionally, as consumers have demanded more and more value in order to drive their purchases, our IZOD, ARROW and Van Heusen brands have likewise benefitted.”
