dELiA*s, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- dELiA*s, Inc. (Nasdaq: DLIA) , a multi-channel retail company primarily marketing to teenage girls, today announced the results for its second quarter of fiscal 2013.
dELiA*s, Inc. results for all periods presented reflect its former Alloy business as a discontinued operation. All financial results in this press release are for continuing operations only unless otherwise stated.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Highlights:
Total revenue decreased 16.7% to $33.2 million from $39.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Revenue from the retail segment decreased 14.7% to $24.5 million, including a comparable store sales decrease of 14.9%. Revenue from the direct segment decreased 21.8% to $8.7 million.
Consolidated gross margin was 20.9% compared to 31.6% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased inventory reserves, lower merchandise margins associated with higher markdowns on legacy product and the deleveraging of occupancy costs.
Loss from continuing operations was $11.1 million compared to a loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 of $5.4 million. Overhead expenses previously allocated to the Alloy business have now been reallocated to continuing operations for both fiscal 2013 and 2012. These costs were approximately $1.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
The Company closed an underwritten follow-on public offering of its common stock with proceeds of approximately $14.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, as well as a private placement of convertible notes that, subject to approval of stockholders, will provide proceeds of approximately $20.3 million, net of placement agent fees.
Tracy Gardner, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our second quarter results were indicative of challenging traffic trends, combined with the underperformance of our legacy inventory. We expect these trends to continue throughout the third quarter as we work to move through this inventory. The team is currently focused on stabilizing the business, amplifying the dELiA*s brand image and driving improved execution in the near term. During this period, we are also focused on implementing our go forward strategy that we believe will better position us for more consistent long term growth. While we acknowledge that this turnaround will take time, we remain excited about our future potential."
Results by Segment
Retail Segment Results
Total revenue for the retail segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 14.7% to $24.5 million from $28.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a comparable store sales decrease of 14.9%. Comparable store sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased by 14.0%.
Gross margin for the retail segment, which includes distribution, occupancy and merchandising costs, was 15.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 25.8% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin includes a 400 basis point reduction related to increased markdown and other inventory reserves and a 300 basis point reduction in merchandise margins in connection with underperforming legacy inventory, as well as a 260 basis point reduction due to the deleveraging of occupancy costs on lower revenues.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the retail segment were $11.2 million, or 45.6% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $11.9 million, or 41.4% of sales, in the prior year period. The reduction in SG&A expenses in dollars reflects reduced selling and depreciation expenses on a lower store count. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues reflects the deleveraging of selling and overhead expenses on lower revenues.
The operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 for the retail segment was $7.3 million compared to $4.4 million in the prior year period.
The Company relocated one store location in the same mall during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, ending the period with 103 stores.
Direct Segment Results
Total revenue for the direct segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 21.8% to $8.7 million from $11.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Gross margin for the direct segment was 35.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 46.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in gross margin includes a 350 basis point reduction related to increased markdown and other inventory reserves and a 500 basis point reduction in merchandise margins in connection with underperforming legacy inventory, as well as a 190 basis point reduction due to increased shipping and handling costs as a percent of revenues.
SG&A expenses for the direct segment were $6.0 million, or 69.4% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $6.3 million, or 56.6% of sales, in the prior year period. The reduction in SG&A expenses in dollars reflects reduced selling and overhead expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues reflects the deleveraging of selling, overhead and depreciation expenses on lower revenues.
Operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 for the direct segment was $2.8 million as compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period.
Balance Sheet Highlights
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed an underwritten follow-on public offering of 15,025,270 shares of its common stock, with proceeds of approximately $14.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, which were used to repay a portion of the outstanding amounts under its revolving credit facility with Salus Capital.
