ANAHEIM, Calif., May 28, 2015-- Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. (Nasdaq:PSUN) (the "Company"), announced today that net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 ended May 2, 2015, were $166.5 million versus net sales of $171.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 ended May 3, 2014.
Comparable store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased
2%. The Company ended the first quarter of fiscal 2015 with 605 stores
versus 618 stores a year ago.
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $3.5 million, or $(0.05) on a diluted per share basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to a net loss of $10.4 million, or $(0.15)
per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The net loss
for the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a non-cash gain
of $9.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a non-cash gain of $1.2 million, or $0.02
per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 related to the
derivative liability that resulted from the issuance of the Convertible
Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred") in connection with
the term loan financing the Company completed in December 2011.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the non-cash gain on the derivative liability and assuming a tax benefit of approximately $3.0 million, the Company would have incurred a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 of $8.6 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $7.4 million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.
"Continued increases in merchandise margins offset our first quarterly negative sales comp in more than three years," said Gary H. Schoenfeld,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "Some key categories including
shorts and non-apparel have underperformed, which is also reflected in
our near-term outlook for the second quarter. Yet as we look ahead to
the back half of this year, we believe the strength of several key brand
initiatives, coupled with anticipated growth in long bottoms will get
us back to positive comp store sales along with further increases in
margins."
Financial Outlook for Second Fiscal Quarter of 2015
The Company's guidance range for the second quarter of fiscal 2015
contemplates a non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted share of between $(0.05) and $0.01, compared to $(0.03) in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
The forecasted second quarter non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted
share guidance range is based on the following assumptions:
-
Comparable store sales from -4% to flat;
-
Net sales from $201 million to $209 million;
-
Gross margin rate, including buying, distribution and occupancy, of 27% to 29%;
-
SG&A expenses in the range of $54 million to $56 million; and
-
Applicable non-GAAP adjustments are tax effected using a normalized annual income tax rate.
The Company's second fiscal quarter of 2015 guidance range excludes the
quarterly impact of the change in the fair value of the derivative
liability due to the inherently variable nature of this financial
instrument.
Derivative Liability
In fiscal 2011, as a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred in connection with the Company's $60 million senior secured term loan financing with an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital, the Company recorded a derivative liability equal to approximately $15 million,
which represents the fair value of the Series B Preferred upon
issuance. In accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP, the Company has
marked this derivative liability to fair value through earnings and will
continue to do so on a quarterly basis until the shares of Series B
Preferred are either converted into shares of the Company's common stock
or until the conversion rights expire (December 2021).

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The accompanying press release dated May 28, 2015, contains non-GAAP
financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP
net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share for the first quarters of
fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively, and non-GAAP net loss per share
guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to,
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system
of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may
differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names
that are used by other companies. The Company computes non-GAAP
financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to
quarter and year to year. The Company may consider whether other
significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from the
non-GAAP financial measures. The Company has excluded the following
items from all of its non-GAAP financial measures:
-- Derivative liability
-- Deferred tax valuation allowance
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating
results primarily because they exclude amounts that are not considered
part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when
assessing the performance of the organization, individual operating
segments or its senior management. In addition, the Company believes
that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in
the investment community to analyze the Company's historical results and
in providing estimates of future performance and that failure to report
these non-GAAP measures, could result in confusion among analysts and
others and create a misplaced perception that the Company's results have
underperformed or exceeded expectations.
