Genesco Inc. Reports Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Results

Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) today reported third quarter results for the three months ended October 28, 2023.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Summary

  • Net sales of $579 million decreased 4% compared to Q3FY23
  • Comps down 4%, with stores down 7% and direct up 8%
  • E-commerce sales represented 21% of retail sales compared to 18% last year
  • GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.60 vs. $1.66 last year
  • Non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.571 vs. $1.65 last year

Mimi E. Vaughn, Genesco’s Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Following a good Back-to-School season, demand in October softened in an ongoing challenging operating environment, along with a delayed start to the fall selling season. Disruptions related to implementation of a new ERP system for our branded businesses added to the pressure, all leading to results that were below our expectations. Despite these headwinds, we were pleased to see sales trends within our Journeys business continue to sequentially improve, and Schuh and Johnston & Murphy deliver record third-quarter sales. In the meantime, we continued to inject Journeys’ product assortment with more of the newness and must-have items our customer desires, while also executing on our cost reduction and store closure plans.”

Vaughn continued, “Fourth quarter-to-date, I’m pleased to say our total comps are currently running positive and we experienced a strong start to the holiday season. However, as consumer shopping behavior remains choppy, we plan to increase our promotional activity, especially at Journeys, for the remainder of the holiday season to be more competitive and drive sales in this environment. Our revised Fiscal 2024 outlook reflects this, partially offset by a somewhat more conservative view for our other businesses. Looking ahead, I have confidence that our strategic initiatives and specific efforts to elevate Journeys in the marketplace will help us continue to drive progress in the near term while positioning us even more strongly to create value for the longer term.”

__________________________

1Excludes a charge for asset impairments, net of tax effect in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 (“Excluded Items”). A reconciliation of earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) with the adjusted earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share numbers is set forth on Schedule B to this press release. The Company believes that disclosure of earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations adjusted for the items not reflected in the previously announced expectations will be meaningful to investors, especially in light of the impact of such items on the results.

Third Quarter Review

Net sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 of $579 million decreased 4% compared to $604 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. The sales decrease compared to last year was driven by decreased store sales in Journeys Group and decreased wholesale sales in Genesco Brands Group, partially offset by an 8% increase in e-commerce comparable sales and a favorable foreign exchange impact.

The overall sales decrease of 4% for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2023 was driven by a decrease of 8% at Journeys and a 22% or $8 million decrease at Genesco Brands, partially offset by an increase of 13% at Schuh and an increase of 2% at Johnston & Murphy. On a constant currency basis, Schuh had record third quarter sales, which were up 5%.

Third quarter gross margin this year was 48.1%, down 60 basis points compared with 48.7% last year. The decrease as a percentage of sales compared to Fiscal 2023 is due primarily to increased promotional activity at Journeys, including introductory coupons for their new loyalty program, more normalized markdowns and closeouts at Johnston & Murphy and increased shipping and warehouse expense in all retail businesses, reflecting increased warehouse costs and higher e-commerce penetration, partially offset by improved margins at Schuh and Genesco Brands.

Selling and administrative expense for the third quarter this year increased 190 basis points as a percentage of sales compared with last year. Adjusted selling and administrative expense for the third quarter this year also increased 190 basis points as a percentage of sales compared with last year. The increase as a percentage of sales compared to Fiscal 2023 reflects the deleverage of expenses, especially compensation, marketing and depreciation expenses, as a result of decreased revenue in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024. In absolute dollars, selling and administrative expenses were flat for the third quarter this year compared to last year.

Genesco’s GAAP operating income for the third quarter was $10.9 million, or 1.9% of sales this year, compared with $26.1 million, or 4.3% of sales in the third quarter last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in all periods, operating income for the third quarter was $11.0 million this year compared to $26.3 million last year. Adjusted operating margin was 1.9% of sales in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 and 4.4% in the third quarter last year.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 22.5% in Fiscal 2024 compared to 18.7% in the third quarter last year. The adjusted tax rate, reflecting Excluded Items, was 27.8% in Fiscal 2024 compared to 19.6% in the third quarter last year. The higher adjusted tax rate for the third quarter this year compared to the third quarter last year primarily reflects that we are no longer subject to a valuation allowance in certain jurisdictions.

GAAP earnings from continuing operations were $6.6 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to $20.4 million in the third quarter last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in all periods, third quarter earnings from continuing operations were $6.2 million, or $0.57 per share, in Fiscal 2024, compared to $20.4 million, or $1.65 per share, in the third quarter last year.

Cash, Borrowings and Inventory

Cash as of October 28, 2023 was $21.7 million, compared with $32.1 million as of October 29, 2022. Total debt at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $128.2 million compared with $89.4 million at the end of last year’s third quarter. Inventories decreased 8% on a year over year basis reflecting decreased inventory for Journeys and Johnston & Murphy, partially offset by an increase at Schuh.

Capital Expenditures and Store Activity

For the third quarter this year, capital expenditures were $15 million, related primarily to retail stores and digital and omnichannel initiatives. Depreciation and amortization was $12 million. During the quarter, the Company opened five stores and closed 20 stores. The Company ended the quarter with 1,360 stores compared with 1,404 stores at the end of the third quarter last year, or a decrease of 3%. Square footage was down 1% on a year-over-year basis.

Share Repurchases

The Company did not repurchase any shares during the third quarter of Fiscal 2024. The Company currently has $52.1 million remaining on its expanded share repurchase authorization announced in June 2023.

Store Closing and Cost Savings Update

  • The Company remains on track to close approximately 100 Journeys stores in Fiscal 2024
  • The Company continues to anticipate up to $40 million in cost reductions by the end of Fiscal 2025

Revised Fiscal 2024 EPS Outlook

For Fiscal 2024, the Company:

  • Now expects sales to be down 1% to 2%, or down 2% to 3% excluding the 53rd week this year, compared to Fiscal 2023
  • Now expects adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $1.50 to $2.00, with an expectation that EPS will be near the mid-point of the range 2
  • Guidance assumes no further share repurchases and a tax rate of 24%

Safe Harbor Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding future sales, earnings, operating income, gross margins, expenses, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, tax rates, store openings and closures, cost reductions, ESG progress and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Forward-looking statements are usually identified by or are associated with such words as “intend,” “expect,” “feel,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “optimistic,” “confident” and similar terminology. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. A number of factors could cause differences. These include adjustments to projections reflected in forward-looking statements, including those resulting from weakness in store and shopping mall traffic, restrictions on operations imposed by government entities and/or landlords, changes in public safety and health requirements, and limitations on the Company’s ability to adequately staff and operate stores. Differences from expectations could also result from store closures and effects on the business as a result of civil disturbances; the level and timing of promotional activity necessary to maintain inventories at appropriate levels; our ability to pass on price increases to our customers; the imposition of tariffs on product imported by the Company or its vendors as well as the ability and costs to move production of products in response to tariffs; the Company’s ability to obtain from suppliers products that are in-demand on a timely basis and effectively manage disruptions in product supply or distribution, including disruptions as a result of pandemics or geopolitical events; unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs, and other factors affecting the cost of products; our ability to renew our license agreements; impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, and other sources of market weakness in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland; the effectiveness of the Company's omnichannel initiatives; costs associated with changes in minimum wage and overtime requirements; wage pressure in the U.S. and the U.K.; weakness in the consumer economy and retail industry; competition and fashion trends in the Company's markets; risks related to the potential for terrorist events; risks related to public health and safety events; changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers; retained liabilities associated with divestitures of businesses including potential liabilities under leases as the prior tenant or as a guarantor; and changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period-to-period sales comparisons. Additional factors that could cause differences from expectations include the ability to secure allocations to refine product assortments to address consumer demand; the ability to renew leases in existing stores and control or lower occupancy costs, to open or close stores in the number and on the planned schedule, and to conduct required remodeling or refurbishment on schedule and at expected expense levels; the Company’s ability to realize anticipated cost savings, including rent savings; the amount and timing of share repurchases; the Company’s ability to achieve expected digital gains and gain market share; deterioration in the performance of individual businesses or of the Company's market value relative to its book value, resulting in impairments of fixed assets, operating lease right of use assets or intangible assets or other adverse financial consequences and the timing and amount of such impairments or other consequences; unexpected changes to the market for the Company's shares or for the retail sector in general; our ability to meet our sustainability, stewardship, emission and diversity, equity and inclusion related ESG projections, goals and commitments; costs and reputational harm as a result of disruptions in the Company’s business or information technology systems either by security breaches and incidents or by potential problems associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems; the Company’s ability to realize any anticipated tax benefits in both the amount and timeframe anticipated; and the cost and outcome of litigation, investigations, environmental matters and other disputes involving the Company. Additional factors are cited in the "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of, and elsewhere in, the Company’s SEC filings, copies of which may be obtained from the SEC website, www.sec.gov, or by contacting the investor relations department of Genesco via the Company’s website, www.genesco.com. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of the subject matter of this release are beyond Genesco's ability to control or predict. Genesco undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Forward-looking statements reflect the expectations of the Company at the time they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to update such statements.

(1) As a result of store closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, and the Company's policy of removing any store closed for seven consecutive days from comparable sales, the Company did not include comparable sales for the first nine months of Fiscal 2023, except for comparable direct sales, as it felt that overall sales was a more meaningful metric last year.
