Operating Results

Tommy Bahama Tommy Bahama delivered a 5% year-over-year net sales increase to $158.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The increased sales were primarily due to the operation of additional stores and the 2013 acquisition of the Tommy Bahama Canadian business, partially offset by a 1% decrease in comparable store sales and weakness in the outlet store business.

While comparable store sales were negative in February and March, April comparable store sales were positive as traffic improved. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Tommy Bahama operated 141 stores including 91 full-price stores, 14 restaurant-retail locations and 36 outlets. This compares to 121 stores at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Tommy Bahama's adjusted operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $20.3 million compared to $21.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease resulted primarily from increased SG&A, a slight decrease in gross margin and the modest comparable store sales decrease. On a GAAP basis, Tommy Bahama's operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $19.9 million compared to $21.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Lilly Pulitzer Lilly Pulitzer's net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 rose 28% to $50.4 million, with strength across multiple product categories and increases in all channels of distribution, including a comparable store sales increase of 34%. As of May 3, 2014, Lilly Pulitzer operated 26 retail stores, including three stores opened during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to 21 retail stores as of May 4, 2013.
