OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS QUARTERS ENDED FEBRUARY 27, 1998 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1997 1. The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. 2. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 30, 1997. 3. The Company is involved in certain legal matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company's liability under any of these matters would not materially affect its financial condition or results of operations. 4. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share." The new standard simplifies the computation of earnings per share (EPS) and increases comparability to international standards. Under SFAS No. 128, primary EPS is replaced by "Basic" EPS, which excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" EPS, which is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts into issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. The Company's required adoption date was December 15, 1997. All prior period EPS information (including interim EPS) is required to be restated. 5. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure." SFAS No. 129 requires companies to disclose descriptive information about an entity's capital structure. It also requires disclosure of information about the liquidation preference of preferred stock and redeemable stock. SFAS No. 129 is effective for the Company's year-end 1998 financial statements. Management does not expect that SFAS No. 129 will require significant revision of prior disclosures. 6. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 is designed to improve the reporting of changes in equity from period to period. SFAS No. 130 is effective for the Company's year-end 1999 financial statements. Management does not expect SFAS No. 130 to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. 7. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires that an enterprise disclose certain information about operating segments. SFAS No. 131 is effective for the Company's year-end 1999 financial statements. Management has not yet determined the impact of SFAS No. 131. Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: NET SALES Net sales for the third quarter of the 1998 fiscal year, which ended February 27, 1998, increased 6.7% from net sales for the same period of the prior year. Net sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year increased 6.8% from net sales for the same period of the prior year. The third quarter sales increase was led by the Company's Shirt Group which had sales increases in all six divisions: Oxford Shirtings, Tommy Hilfiger Golf, Tommy Hilfiger Dress Shirts, Ox Sport, Polo for Boys and Ely & Walker. Lanier Clothes, the Company's Tailored Clothing Group, also had increases in all divisions: Private Label, Oscar de la Renta, Nautica, and initial shipments in its new Geoffrey Beene division. The Company's Slacks Group had a sales decline against a very good third quarter in the prior year. The Womenswear Group also had a decline due primarily to some February shipments to a major customer being deferred into March. In the third quarter of the current year, the Company experienced an overall net sales unit volume decrease of 2.9% while experiencing a 9.7% increase in the weighted average net sales price per unit. Third quarter net sales included greater increased sales in the Company's higher priced products. For the first nine months of the current year, the Company experienced a 4.7% increase in overall net sales unit volume while experiencing a 1.9% increase in the weighted average net sales price per unit. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.1% in the third quarter of the current year as compared to 79.9% in the third quarter of the prior year. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.4%, as compared to 81.2% for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter of the current year was due primarily to increased markdowns. The decrease in cost of goods as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of the current year was due to increased sales of higher margin lines and the continuation of the shift from domestic production to offshore production yielding comparatively lower costs per unit. During the third quarter, the Company announced the forthcoming closure of its domestic sewing facilities in Giles, Virginia and Gaffney, South Carolina. These facility closings are the direct result of the continuing intense competitive pressures that require the Company to utilize the most cost-effective production resources. During the quarter, the Company approved the opening of two new sewing facilities in Latin America and continued expansion of three existing facilities in Latin America. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 3.6% to $26,018,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 from $25,124,000 in the same period of fiscal 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.1% to $80,719,000 for the first nine months of the current year from $74,700,000 for the first nine months of the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 14.6% for the third quarter of the current year from 15.0% for the third quarter of the prior year, and increased to 13.9% for the first nine months of the current year from 13.8% for the first nine months of the prior year. The major contributors to the increased selling, general and administrative expenses were higher advertising, royalty and selling expenses inherent in the licensed designer businesses and higher employment costs. In addition to normal salary increases, the higher employment costs are the result of increased group medical insurance claims and increased accruals for management performance bonuses. INTEREST EXPENSE Net interest expense declined by $478,000 to $664,000 or 0.4% of net sales in the third quarter of the current year from $1,142,000 or 0.7% of net sales in the third quarter of the prior year. Net interest expense declined by $646,000 to $2,663,000 or 0.5% of net sales in the first nine months of the current year from $3,309,000 or 0.6% of net sales in the first nine months of the prior year. The reduction in interest expense was due to lower average short- term borrowings. INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate was 39.0% for the third quarter and first nine months of the current year compared to 40.0% for the third quarter and the first nine months of the previous year, and this effective tax rate does not differ significantly from the Company's statutory rate. FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company announced that its Polo/Ralph Lauren for Boys licenses which expire May 31, 1999 will not be renewed due to Polo/Ralph Lauren, L.P.'s strategic consolidation of all children's apparel licenses. The Company will continue shipments through the Summer 1999 season. S. Schwab & Company("Schwab"), the consolidating licensee, will market and ship the Fall 1999 season. A seamless transition of the business is anticipated. Some assets of the business will be sold by the Company to Schwab. The transition coincides with the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2000. No impact on sales or earnings is expected in the Company's fiscal years 1998 or 1999. The Polo/Ralph Lauren business accounts for approximately 10% of the Company's sales and 10% of operating profits. In regards to the remainder of the current fiscal year, the Company expects to surpass last year's fourth quarter in sales and earnings. YEAR 2000 The Company uses software and related information technologies throughout its business. The Company has completed its review of these internal technologies. The Company anticipates that all internal systems will be 100% compliant prior to the year 2000. The Company is in the process of mailing a Year 2000 compliance survey to each of its major suppliers and service providers, to ensure the Company's supplier base will be able to function in the year 2000 and beyond. The Company's cost in resolving the year 2000 issue are not expected to materially impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OPERATING ACTIVITIES Operating activities used $2,474,000 during the first nine months of the current year and generated $12,270,000 in the first nine months of the prior year. The primary factors contributing to this increased use of funds was a larger increase in receivables combined with a larger decrease in trade payables than in the prior year offset by increased net earnings in the current year. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Investing activities used $3,559,000 in the current period and $3,277,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The change was the result of decreased proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment in the current year offset by slightly decreased capital expenditures in the current year. FINANCING ACTIVITIES Financing activities generated $5,533,000 in the current period and used $6,950,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The primary factor contributing to this change was a larger increase in short-term borrowings than in the prior year. On October 6, 1997 the resolution to adopt the 1997 Stock Option Plan and the reservation of 500,000 shares was approved by shareholders with a vote of 6,698,645 for the resolution, 149,939 against, 22,676 abstaining and 649,781 broker non vote. On October 6, 1997 the resolution to adopt the 1997 Restricted Stock Plan and the reservation of 100,000 shares was approved by the shareholders with a vote of 7,494,675 for the resolution, 1,945 against and 24,421 abstaining. On April 6, 1998 the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.20 per share payable on May 30, 1998 to shareholders of record on May 15, 1998. WORKING CAPITAL Working capital increased from $147,476,000 at the end of the third quarter of the prior year to $150,640,000 at the end of the 1997 fiscal year and increased to $166,355,000 at the end of the third quarter of the current year. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 at the end of the third quarter of the prior year, 2.6 at the end of the prior fiscal year, and 2.7 at the end of the third quarter of the current year. FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company believes it has the ability to generate cash and/or has available borrowing capacity to meet its foreseeable needs. The sources of funds primarily include funds provided by operations and both short-term and long-term borrowings. The uses of funds primarily include working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and repayment of short-term and long-term debt. The Company regularly utilizes committed bank lines of credit and other uncommitted bank resources to meet working capital requirements. On February 27, 1998, the Company had available for its use lines of credit with several lenders aggregating $52,000,000. The Company has agreed to pay commitment fees for these available lines of credit. On February 27, 1998, $45,000,000 was in use under these, lines of which $40,000,000 is long-term. In addition, the Company has $267,500,000 in uncommitted lines of credit, of which $127,500,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit. The Company pays no commitment fees for these available lines of credit. At February 27, 1998, $12,000,000 was in use under these lines of credit. Maximum borrowings from all these sources during the first nine months of the current year were $84,500,000 of which $44,500,000 was short-term. The Company anticipates continued use and availability of both committed and uncommitted resources as working capital needs may require. The Company considers possible acquisitions of apparel-related businesses that are compatible with its long-term strategies. The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on the open market and in negotiated trades as conditions and opportunities warrant. There are no present plans to sell securities (other than through employee stock option plans and other employee benefits)or enter into off- balance sheet financing arrangements. SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 Certain statements included herein are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. This includes any statements concerning plans and objectives of management relating to the Company's operations or economic performance, and assumptions related thereto. In addition, the Company and its representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Management cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those express or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ include, but are not necessarily limited to, general economic and apparel business conditions, continued retailer and consumer acceptance of company products, and global manufacturing costs. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For additional information concerning the Company's operations, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources, this analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report for fiscal 1997.
