Collective Brands Reports Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Net Earnings $47.5 Million, $0.75 per Share, Up 86.3%
Collective Brands, Inc. (NYSE: PSS) today
reported financial results for the third quarter ended November 1, 2008.
Third quarter 2008 net earnings were $47.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted
share, compared to third quarter 2007 net earnings of $25.5 million, or
$0.39 per diluted share. Excluding litigation items in 2008(1) and
purchase accounting inventory step-up in 2007(2), third quarter 2008 net
earnings(3) were $26.6 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to third
quarter 2007 net earnings of $31.3 million, or $0.48 per share.
For the third quarter of 2008, adjusted EBITDA(3) was $85.1 million, up
$1.3 million from the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA year-to-date
in 2008 was $289.6 million. On a trailing four quarters basis, adjusted
EBITDA was $314.5 million.
Collective Brands third quarter 2008 net sales were $862.7 million, up
$32.0 million, or 3.9%, versus the third quarter of 2007. The increase was
primarily due to owning Stride Rite this year for 13 more days and a third
quarter 2008 pro-forma sales increase for Stride Rite of 11.1%(3). This
was offset in part by a third quarter 2008 comparable store sales(4)
decrease of 3.2%, as the impact of lower store traffic and unit sales
offset the impact of higher average unit retail prices. Net sales for
Payless and Stride Rite were $665.1 million and $197.6 million,
respectively, for the third quarter of 2008.
"Our operating results demonstrated the strength and resiliency of our
hybrid business model in a difficult operating environment. By staying
true to our strategy, we delighted customers with new styles and
record-setting customer service scores at Payless that resulted in
increased retail market share," said Matthew E. Rubel, Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President of Collective Brands, Inc. "We had strong
performances in Payless Latin America, Stride Rite International, Saucony,
and Sperry Top-Sider. In addition, we effectively managed inventory,
controlled costs and generated increased cash flow."
The gross margin rate for the third quarter of 2008 was 34.6% compared to
the third quarter 2007 gross margin rate of 32.2%. Excluding litigation
items in 2008 and purchase accounting inventory step-up in 2007, the third
quarter gross margin rate decreased to 34.1% in 2008 from 35.2% in 2007.
The gross margin rate was favorably driven by a higher Payless merchandise
margin as the impact of higher average unit retail prices, direct sourcing,
and other gross margin initiatives more than offset the impact of higher
product costs from China. The gross margin rate was unfavorably driven by
lower gross margins at Stride Rite as a result of higher product costs and
more promotional activity, as well as negative leverage on Payless
occupancy costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were lower at 28.4% of
sales in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 28.8% in the third quarter
of 2007, an improvement of 40 basis points. The lower SG&A ratio was
driven primarily by prudent expense management. SG&A expenses were $245.1
million in the third quarter of 2008, up $5.5 million versus the third
quarter of 2007. Payless SG&A expenses, in dollars, declined. Stride Rite
SG&A expenses, in dollars, were up primarily due to 13 more days in the
third quarter of 2008.
Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2008 was $17.2 million, an
increase of $2.0 million over the same period last year. The change was
due primarily to drawing $215.0 million on the Company's revolving loan
facility during the second quarter of 2008. Subsequent to the end of the
third quarter, the Company paid back the entire $215.0 million outstanding
on the revolving loan facility.
Due to a reduction in the 2008 annual effective tax rate, the third quarter
2008 income tax benefit was $12.9 million driven by the relative earnings
mix by country. Tax efficient business initiatives, including integration
opportunities, are expected to have a long-term favorable impact to cash
flow.
Collective Brands net debt at the end of the third quarter of 2008 was
$608.4, down $16.4 million versus the prior year period. The Company ended
the third quarter of 2008 with $523.6 million in cash and cash equivalents
compared to $301.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2007. Total
debt at the end of the third quarter of 2008 was $1.1 billion, up $205.9
million over the third quarter of 2007. The increase in cash and cash
equivalents as well as debt was due primarily to the use of the revolving
loan facility.
Collective Brands inventory was $467.6 million at the end of the third
quarter of 2008, down $8.5 million compared to the same period last year.
The decline was due to having purchase accounting inventory step-up last
year and not this year. Payless inventory per store was up 4% at the end
of the third quarter this year versus the same period last year. The
increase was driven by the Company's strategy to flow fresh product, as
well as timing of product flow and higher costs. Importantly, the
percentage of Payless's aged inventory units was 13% lower than the prior
year period reflecting a cleaner inventory position.
Year-to-date capital expenditures through the third quarter of 2008 totaled
$107.5 million compared to $128.0 million in the prior year period. The
reduction was due to the completion of projects including the
implementation of advanced technology point-of-sale registers and supply
chain as well as lower spending on domestic stores. During the third
quarter of 2008, Collective Brands added 17 new stores (14 Payless and 3
Stride Rite), closed 25 stores (24 Payless and 1 Stride Rite), and
relocated 8 Payless stores.

Outlook for Collective Brands
While the Company continues to believe that its long-term strategic
opportunities are unchanged, Collective Brands does not believe it is
prudent to maintain or update its previously published long-term operating
profit outlook due to the uncertain economic conditions.
-- Excluding the impact of purchase accounting, the Stride Rite
acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings in 2008 as Stride
Rite's operating profit contribution including synergies is expected to
exceed the incremental interest expense. Due to the impact of purchase
accounting, the Stride Rite acquisition is not expected to be earnings per
share accretive in 2008 on a GAAP basis.
-- Capital expenditures in 2008 are expected to total approximately $130
million.
-- The 2008 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 19%
excluding litigation items and discrete events associated with the
resolution of outstanding tax audits.
-- Depreciation and amortization in 2008 is expected to total
approximately $145 million, due to greater investments in supply chain and
stores in recent years as well as the 2007 acquisition of Stride Rite.

statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of earnings, balance sheets and statements of cash
flows have been prepared in accordance with the company's accounting
policies as described in the Company's 2007 Form 10-K, on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, are subject to reclassification and
adjustments and should be read in conjunction with the 2007 Annual Report
to Shareowners. In the opinion of management, this information is fairly
presented and all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods have been included.
(1) The non-GAAP results for third quarter of 2008 exclude net earnings of
$20.9 million, or $0.33 per share. This relates to $4.3 million pre-tax of
insurance recoveries, net of litigation-related expenses, associated with
the K-Swiss and the adidas matters and $16.6 million related to the change
in the annual effective tax rate due to litigation charges ("litigation
items").
(2) The non-GAAP results for third quarter 2007 exclude a net loss of $5.8
million, or $0.09 per share. This relates to $25.0 million pre-tax for the
flow through of inventory recorded at fair value and $19.2 million related
to the change in the annual effective tax rate due to purchase accounting
charges ("purchase accounting inventory step-up").
(3) This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. In
particular, Collective Brands provides historic diluted earnings per share,
net earnings, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA excluding items associated
with the K-Swiss and adidas litigation as well as purchase accounting
inventory step-up which are non-GAAP financial measures. Regarding the
pro-forma sales increase for Stride Rite, the 2008 sales are compared to
sales for Collective Brands entire third quarter of 2007 including the 13
days during which Collective Brands did not own Stride Rite. All these
measures are included as a complement to results provided in accordance
with GAAP because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures
help explain underlying performance trends in Collective Brands business
and provide useful information to both management and investors by
excluding certain items that are not indicative of Collective Brands core
operating results. These measures should be considered in addition to
results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a
substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Please see the reconciliations
of the non-GAAP financial measures after the statement of cash flows.
(4) Comparable store sales include Payless stores from all regions. Stride
Rite stores are excluded.
