PART I ------ Item 1. Business. - ------------------ BUSINESS AND PRODUCTS Introduction and Background Oxford Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia as Oxford Manufacturing Company, Inc. on April 27, 1960. In 1967, its name was changed to Oxford Industries, Inc. Its principal office is in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company's primary business is the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of consumer apparel products in the popular to better price ranges. Substantially all of the Company's distribution facilities, offices and customers are located in the United States. Company-owned manufacturing facilities are located in the southeastern United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and Asia. The Company is organized into four operating groups that reflect four major product lines. The operating groups are the Oxford Shirt Group, Lanier Clothes, Oxford Slacks and the Oxford Womenswear Group. The Oxford Shirt Group operations encompass dress shirts, sport shirts, golf wear and a broad range of men's and boys' sportswear. Lanier Clothes produces suits, sportcoats, suit separates and dress slacks. Oxford Slacks is a producer of private label dress and casual slacks and shorts. The Oxford Womenswear Group is a producer of budget and moderate priced private label women's apparel. DISTRIBUTION The Company's customers include national and regional chain stores, mail order and catalog firms, discount stores, department stores and chain and independent specialty stores. Customer Distribution Analysis June 2, May 28, May 29, 2000 1999 1998 Total Sales % Total Sales % Total Sales % Customers Customers Customers --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- ------- Top 50 50 92.43% 50 92.86% 50 91.67% All Other 6,676 7.57% 4,952 7.14% 4,187 8.33% ----- ----- ----- ------ ----- ------ Total 6,726 100% 5,002 100% 4,237 100% Several product lines are designed and manufactured in anticipation of orders for sale to department and specialty stores and certain specialty chain and mail order customers. The Company must make commitments for fabric and production in connection with these lines. In the case of imports, these commitments can be up to several months prior to the receipt of firm orders from customers. These lines include both popular and better price merchandise sold under brand and designer names or customers' private labels. The Company works closely with many customers to develop large volume product programs prior to commencement of production, enabling the Company to take advantage of relative efficiencies in planning, raw materials purchasing and utilization of production facilities. Products sold under these programs are in the popular price range and usually carry the customers' trademarks, although the Company offers some branded and designer programs for this customer market. The Company employs a sales force consisting of salaried and commissioned sales employees and independent commissioned sales representatives. Apparel sales offices and showrooms are maintained by the Company in Atlanta, New York, Hong Kong and Dallas. Other showrooms are maintained by independent commissioned sales representatives. A majority of the Company's business is conducted by direct contacts between the Company's salaried executives and buyers and other executives of the Company's customers. MANUFACTURING, RAW MATERIALS AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY Manufacturing and Raw Materials Apparel products are manufactured from cotton, linen, wool, silk, other natural fibers, synthetics and blends of these materials. Materials used by the Company in its manufacturing operations are purchased from numerous domestic and foreign textile mills and converters in the form of woven or knitted finished fabrics. Buttons, zippers, thread and other trim items are purchased from both domestic and foreign suppliers. The Company's manufacturing facilities perform cutting, sewing and related operations to produce finished apparel products from these materials. At the end of the 2000 fiscal year, domestic production for the Company accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's business, of which approximately 1% came from the Company's United States manufacturing facilities, and approximately 10% came from United States contractors. The Company also purchases fabric and places it with domestic and foreign independent contractors for production of goods conforming to the Company's patterns, specifications and quality standards. The Company imports finished apparel products meeting its quality standards from suppliers in the Caribbean, Central America, the Far East and other areas. Imported goods are generally manufactured according to designs and specifications furnished or approved in advance of production by the Company. In order to place orders and monitor production, the Company maintains buying offices in Hong Kong and Singapore. The Company also retains unaffiliated buying agents in several other countries. The Company also manufactures in its own facilities in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Honduras, and the Philippines. Sources of Supply The Company regards its domestic and foreign sources of raw materials, finished goods and outside production as adequate and is not dependent on any single source or contractor. No single supplier or contractor accounts for a material portion of the Company's purchases or business. Alternative competitive sources are available, and the Company does not anticipate significant difficulty in meeting its supply and outside production requirements. There are occasions, however, where the Company is unable to take customer orders on short notice because of the minimum lead time required to produce a garment that is acceptable to the customer in regards to cost, quantity, quality and service. The Company's import business could be adversely affected by currency exchange fluctuations, changes in United States import duties and trade restraints, political unrest in exporting countries, weather and natural disasters and other factors normally associated with imports. The Company believes it has diminished potential risks in its import business by placing import programs with suppliers in many different countries. The Company continues to expand assembly operations in Mexico to take greater advantage of incentives implicit in United States trade policy. TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND PATENTS Trademarks Principal menswear trademarks owned by the Company are "Lanier Clothes" for men's suits and sportcoats, "Oxford Shirtings" for men's shirts, "Travelers Worsted" for mens suits, "Everpress" for men's slacks; "928" for young men's suited separates, and "Ely Cattleman" and "Plains" for men's western wear. Although the Company is not dependent on any single trademark, it believes its trademarks in the aggregate are of significant value to its business. The Company actively pursues the acquisition of significant brands and related businesses. Licenses The Company also has the right to use trademarks under license and design agreements with the trademarks' owners. Principal menswear trademarks the Company has the right to use are "Robert Stock" for men's suits, sport coats and dress slacks; "Oscar de la Renta" for men's suits, sport coats, vests, and dress and casual slacks; "Tommy Hilfiger" for men's dress shirts and Men's and Women's golf apparel; "Nautica" for men's tailored suits, sport coats and dress slacks; "Geoffrey Beene" for men's tailored suits, sport coats, vests and dress slacks; "Slates" for men's sportcoats and soft suitings; "Izod Club" for men's, women's and junior's golf apparel and "DKNY" for newborns, toddlers, girl's and boy's apparel. The above mentioned license and design agreements will expire at various dates through the Company's fiscal 2005 year. Many of the Company's licensing agreements are eligible for renewal to extend the licenses through various dates from the Company's fiscal 2002 through 2010 years. Although the Company is not dependent on any single license and design agreement, it believes its license and design agreements in the aggregate are of significant value to its business. Patents The Company owns several patents covering apparel manufacturing processes and devices, but competitive processes and devices are available to others, and these are not material to the Company's business. SEASONAL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS AND ORDER BACKLOG Seasonal Aspects of Business The Company's business is generally divided among four retail selling seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Holiday. Seasonal factors can cause some variance in production and sales levels among fiscal quarters in any fiscal year, but the Company does not regard its overall business as highly seasonal. Order Backlog As of June 2, 2000 and May 28, 1999, the Company had booked orders amounting to approximately $154,708,000 and $148,196,000, respectively, all of which will be shipped within six months after each such date. These numbers represent only store orders on hand and do not include private-label contract balances. A growing percentage of the Company's business consists of at-once EDI "Quick response" programs with large retailers. Replenishment shipments under these programs generally possess such an abbreviated order life as to exclude them from the order backlog completely. The Company therefore does not believe that this backlog information is indicative of sales to be expected for the following year. WORKING CAPITAL Working capital needs are affected primarily by inventory levels, outstanding receivables and trade payables. The Company had available for its use committed lines of credit with several lenders aggregating $52,000,000 at June 2, 2000, and May 28, 1999. These lines of credit are used by the Company to cover fluctuations in working capital needs. The Company had $52,000,000 outstanding under these lines of credit at the end of the both the fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 years, of which $40,000,000 was long-term. In addition, at the end of fiscal 2000, the Company had $231,500,000 in uncommitted lines of credit, of which $143,500,000 was reserved for the issuance of letters of credit. At June 2, 2000, $6,500,000 was outstanding under these lines of credit. At the end of fiscal 1999 the Company had $221,500,000 in uncommitted lines of credit, of which $123,500,000 was reserved for the issuance of letters of credit. At May 28, 1999 $21,000,000 was outstanding under these uncommitted lines of credit. The total amount of letters of credit outstanding totaled approximately $64,696,000 at the end of fiscal 2000, and approximately $63,142,000 at the end of fiscal 1999. The Company had cash of $8,625,000 and $11,077,000 at the end of the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years. The average interest rate on all short-term borrowings for the 2000 fiscal year was 6.7%. The Company anticipates continued use and availability of short-term borrowings as working capital needs may require. Inventory levels are affected by order backlog and anticipated sales. It is general practice of the Company to offer payment terms of net 30 to the majority of its customers, from date of shipment. The Company believes that its working capital requirements and financing resources are comparable with those of other major, financially sound apparel manufacturers. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The Company's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 74% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2000 and approximately 72% in fiscal 1999. Wal-Mart accounted for 15% and 10% in the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, respectively. Target accounted for 12% and 11% in the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, respectively. Lands' End, Inc. accounted for 11% and 10% of net sales in the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, respectively. JCPenney Company, Inc. accounted for 10% and 12% of net sales in the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, respectively. The Company believes that its relationships with all of its major customers, including Wal- Mart, Target, Lands' End, Inc. and JCPenny Company are excellent. COMPETITION The Company's products are sold in a highly competitive domestic market in which numerous domestic and foreign manufacturers compete. No single manufacturer or small group of manufacturers dominates the apparel industry. The Company believes it is a major apparel manufacturing and marketing company, but there are other apparel firms with greater sales and financial resources. Competition within the apparel industry is based upon styling, marketing, price, quality, customer service and, with respect to branded and designer product lines, consumer recognition and preference. The Company believes it competes effectively with other members of its industry with regard to all of these factors. Successful competition in styling and marketing is related to the Company's ability to foresee changes and trends in fashion and consumer preference and to present appealing product programs to its customers. Successful competition in price, quality and customer service is related to its ability to maintain efficiency in production, sourcing and distribution. Growth in apparel imports and direct importing by retailers present competitive risks to domestic apparel manufacturing operations. The United States has implemented restrictive quotas on the importation of many classifications of textiles and textile products from certain countries and has adopted restrictive regulations governing textile and apparel imports. Through December of 1994, these restraints were permitted pursuant to the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA), an international textile trade agreement to which the United States was a party. During the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade, the United States and other countries negotiated a successor agreement to the MFA known as the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC). The ATC became effective on January 1, 1995. The ATC requires that importing countries gradually phase out approximately half of the restrictive quotas on the importation of textiles and apparel products that were in place on December 31, 1994 over a ten year period. The remaining quotas are to be eliminated on January 1, 2005. However, the ATC allows importing countries such as the United States significant discretion in determining when during the ten year period quotas on particular products from particular countries will be eliminated. The United States has announced a plan that will keep quotas on the products deemed most sensitive to import competition in place until the later stages of the ten-year period. In addition, the ATC permits importing countries, under certain conditions, to impose new quotas on the importation of textile and apparel products during the ten-year phase out period. Thus, the extent to which the ATC will liberalize trade in textile and apparel products over the next five years is unclear. Reduced restrictions on the importation of textiles and textile products could negatively affect the competitiveness of the Company's sourcing activities in some countries, but could also positively affect its sourcing activities in other countries. On May 18, 2000, President Clinton signed into law the Trade and Development Act of 2000 ("TDA"). The effective date of the TDA is October 1, 2000. The TDA grants preferential trade status to garments produced in designated sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin nations. With limited exceptions, the benefits offered by the TDA are restricted to garments produced in the beneficiary countries from fabric and yarns produced in the United States. The Company owns no plants in sub-Saharan Africa and has limited sourcing operations in this region. The Company does not expect to benefit substantially from the sub-Saharan Africa provisions of the TDA. The Company owns seven plants in the Caribbean Basin and has extensive sourcing operations in this region. The degree to which the Company's operations in the Caribbean Basin will benefit from the TDA depends on whether the Company is able to source U.S. produced fabric that is globally competitive in terms of price, quality, styling and delivery. To the extent that the Company can purchase globally competitive fabrics from U.S. sources, the Company believes that its Caribbean Basin operations will benefit from the TDA. Another source of competition is the increasing use of buying offices by certain of the Company's customers and other retailers. These buying offices permit the retailer to source directly from (primarily) foreign manufacturers, by-passing intermediate apparel manufacturing companies. The Company is unable to quantify the effect of this trend on its sales and profits but believes that the use of buying offices adversely affects both. The Company believes that the relative price advantage to retailers of direct sourcing is offset to an extent by the Company's ownership of or long term relationships with foreign facilities and by services provided to its customers such as delivery flexibility, manufacturing expertise and supply chain management. EMPLOYEES As of June 2, 2000, the Company employed 9,758 persons, approximately 86% of whom were hourly and incentive paid production workers. The Company believes its employee relations are excellent. Item 2. Properties. - -------------------- At June 2, 2000 the Company operated a total of 16 production plants. Domestic plants, of which one plant is owned and one plant is leased, are located in Georgia and Mississippi. Foreign plants, of which four are owned and ten are leased, are located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Honduras, and the Philippines. The Company also maintains separate warehousing and distribution facilities (in addition to space allocated for these purposes in or adjacent to manufacturing plants) in Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and South Carolina. Certain of the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities deemed owned by the Company are held pursuant to long-term capital leases or lease purchase agreements, some of which have been entered into by the Company in connection with industrial revenue bond financing arrangements. Under this type of financing, the facilities are subject to trust indentures or security agreements securing the interests of the bondholders. See Notes C and D in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements forming a part of the financial statements included under Item 8 of this Report. General offices are maintained in a facility owned by the Company in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company leases sales, purchasing and administrative offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Hong Kong, New York and Singapore. The Company owns substantially all of its machinery and equipment. Current facilities are adequately covered by insurance, generally well maintained and provide adequate production capacity for current and anticipated future operations. Item 3.
