GENESCO INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2019 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
--Company Reiterates Fiscal 2019 Guidance--

First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Summary
Net sales were $645 million
Comparable sales decreased 1%
GAAP EPS from continuing operations was ($0.12)
Non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations was ($0.06) 1

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 5, 2018 --- Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) for the three months ended May 5, 2018, today reported a GAAP loss from continuing operations per diluted share of $(0.12), compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.05 in the first quarter last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods, the Company reported a first quarter loss from continuing operations per diluted share of $(0.06), compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.06 last year.

Robert J. Dennis, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said:

“Our first quarter results in total were within the range of our expectations, as continued strength in our U.S. retail footwear businesses helped to offset in part challenges in our other operating divisions. Journeys in particular delivered robust comparable sales and significantly improved profitability. Johnston & Murphy began the year with accelerating comparable sales and a strong earnings performance as well. While sales trends in the Lids Sports Group remained negative, they improved meaningfully compared with the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, in addition to a strong year-over-year comparison, a number of headwinds in the U.K. pressured Schuh’s performance. Overall, gross margins were up, driven primarily by channel and brand mix and increased full priced selling at Journeys and Johnston & Murphy. However, we deleveraged expenses due to negative store comps, resulting in profitability below last year’s level but consistent with our forecast.

“We are pleased with our start to the second quarter, as the arrival of warmer weather has helped accelerate demand for seasonal product and comps in each one of our businesses. While we remain cautious about Schuh’s near-term prospects, we are encouraged by the signs of improvement in our other major businesses, Journeys in particular. Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, our focus is on executing the key initiatives we have previously outlined aimed at fortifying the leadership positions of each of our concepts and reducing our overall cost structure. We are optimistic that we have the right strategies in place to drive enhanced profitability and greater shareholder value over the longer-term.”


__________________________
1 Excludes asset impairment charges, legal and other matters, net of tax effect and other tax items (“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 and earnings 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.




Exhibit 99.1

First Quarter Review

Net sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 increased to $645 million from $643 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2018. Excluding the impact of exchange rates, sales would have decreased 1%. Comparable sales were down 1%, with stores down 2% and direct up 10%. Direct-to-consumer sales grew to 11% of total retail sales for the quarter, compared to 10% last year.

First quarter gross margin this year was 49.9%, up 30 basis points, compared with 49.6% last year, primarily reflecting channel and brand mix and increased full price selling at Journeys and Johnston & Murphy, partially offset by less full price selling in the Company’s other business segments and increased shipping and warehouse expenses.

Selling and administrative expense for the first quarter this year was 49.9%, up 80 basis points, compared to 49.1% of sales for the same period last year. The increase as a percentage of sales reflects higher expenses relating primarily to selling salaries and benefits and bonus accruals. Without exchange rate increases, expense dollars would have been flat for the quarter due to the impact of store closings, rent and other cost reductions.

Genesco’s GAAP operating loss for the first quarter was $1.8 million this year compared with operating income of $2.8 million last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods, the operating loss for the first quarter was $0.3 million this year compared with operating income of $2.9 million last year. Adjusted operating margin was 0.0% of sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 and 0.5% last year.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 20.3% in Fiscal 2019 compared to 38.3% last year. The adjusted tax rate, reflecting Excluded Items, was 15.2% in Fiscal 2019 compared to 36.7% last year. The lower adjusted tax rate for this year reflects the lower U.S. federal income tax rate following the passage of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in December 2017 and the inability to recognize a tax benefit for certain overseas losses.

GAAP loss from continuing operations was $2.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, compared to earnings of $1.0 million in the first quarter last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods, first quarter loss from continuing operations was $1.1 million in Fiscal 2019, compared with earnings of $1.1 million last year.    

Cash, Borrowings and Inventory

Cash and cash equivalents at May 5, 2018 were $30.9 million, compared with $43.4 million at April 29, 2017. Total debt at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $105.7 million compared with $138.0



Exhibit 99.1

million at the end of last year’s first quarter, a decrease of 23%. Inventories decreased 4% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 on a year-over-year basis.

Capital Expenditures and Store Activity

For the first quarter, capital expenditures were $20 million, which consisted of $12 million related to store remodels and new stores and $8 million related to direct to consumer, omnichannel, information technology, distribution center and other projects. Depreciation and amortization was $20 million. During the quarter, the Company opened 21 new stores and closed 35 stores. Excluding Locker Room by Lids in Macy’s stores, the Company ended the quarter with 2,558 stores compared with 2,632 stores at the end of the first quarter last year, or a decrease of 3%. Square footage was down 2% on a year-over-year basis, excluding Lids Locker Room departments in Macy’s stores.

Fiscal 2019 Outlook

For Fiscal 2019, the company is reiterating its previously established full year guidance and still expects:

Comparable sales to be flat to up 2%, and
Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.05 to $3.45.2

(1) The adjusted tax rate for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 is 15.2% including a FIN 48 discrete item of less than $0.1 million. The adjusted tax rate for the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 is 36.7% including a FIN 48 discrete item of less than $0.1 million.

(2) EPS reflects 19.3 million share count for both Fiscal 2019 and 2018, which includes common stock equivalents in only Fiscal 2018.

The Company believes that disclosure of earnings and earnings 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.

GENESCO INC.
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER’S COMMENTARY
FISCAL YEAR 2019
FIRST QUARTER ENDED MAY 5, 2018

Consolidated Results

First Quarter

Sales

First quarter net sales were up a little to $645 million in Fiscal 2019 compared to $643 million in Fiscal 2018. Excluding the impact of exchange rates, sales would have decreased 1%. Comparable sales for Genesco and each of its business segments, including both same store sales and comparable sales from the Company’s direct (e-commerce and catalog) businesses for the quarter, were as follows:

Gross Margin

First quarter gross margin was 49.9% this year compared with 49.6% last year, primarily reflecting channel and brand mix and increased full price selling at Journeys and Johnston & Murphy, partially offset by less full price selling in the Company’s other business segments and increased shipping and warehouse expenses.

SG&A

Selling and administrative expense for the first quarter this year was 49.9% compared to 49.1% of sales last year. The increase in expenses as a percentage of sales reflects higher expenses relating primarily to selling salaries and benefits and bonus accruals. Without exchange rate increases, expense dollars would have been flat for the quarter due to the impact of stores closings, rent and other cost reductions.

Asset Impairment and Other Items

The asset impairment and other charge of $1.6 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 includes $1.3 million for asset impairments and $0.3 million for legal and other matters. The previous year’s first quarter asset impairment and other charge of $0.1 million were asset impairments. The asset impairment and other charge are referred to as “Excluded Items” in the discussion below.




Exhibit 99.2

Operating Income (Loss)

Genesco’s operating loss for the first quarter was $(1.8) million this year compared with operating income of $2.8 million last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods, the operating loss for the first quarter this year was $(0.3) million, compared with $2.9 million last year. Adjusted operating margin was 0.0% of sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 and 0.5% last year. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is posted on the Company’s website in conjunction with this document.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the first quarter decreased 13% to $1.0 million compared to $1.2 million last year resulting from decreased average revolver borrowings in the first quarter this year.

Pretax Earnings (Loss)

The pretax loss for the quarter was $(2.9) million in Fiscal 2019 compared to pretax earnings of $1.6 million last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both years, the pretax loss for the quarter was $(1.3) million in Fiscal 2019 compared to pretax earnings of $1.7 million last year. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is posted on the company’s website in conjunction with this document.

Taxes

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 20.3% in Fiscal 2019 compared to 38.3% last year. The adjusted tax rate, reflecting the exclusion of the Excluded Items in both years, was 15.2% in Fiscal 2019 compared to 36.7% last year. The lower adjusted tax rate for this year reflects the lower U.S. federal income tax rate following the passage of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in December 2017 and the inability to recognize a tax benefit for certain overseas losses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is posted on the company’s website in conjunction with this document.

Earnings (Loss) From Continuing Operations After Taxes

The loss from continuing operations was $(2.3) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter last year. Adjusted for the Excluded Items in both periods and using the adjusted tax rates, the first quarter loss from continuing operations was $(1.1) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share in Fiscal 2019, compared with earnings from continuing operations of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, last year. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is posted on the company’s website in conjunction with this document.

Segment Results

Lids Sports Group

Lids Sports Group’s sales for the first quarter decreased 10.3% to $159 million from $177 million last year, reflecting negative comparable sales and a 6% decrease in the Group’s average stores operated during the quarter when compared to last year. Comparable sales, including both same store and comparable direct sales, decreased 7% this year compared to an increase of 1% last year.




Exhibit 99.2

The Group’s gross margin as a percent of sales decreased 40 basis points primarily reflecting increased shipping and warehouse expense. SG&A expense as a percent of sales increased 200 basis points, reflecting the inability to leverage expenses due to the negative comparable sales for the quarter, partially offset by decreased credit card expenses.

The Group’s first quarter operating loss for Fiscal 2019 was $(5.4) million, or (3.4)% of sales, up from a loss of $(1.8) million, or (1.0)% of sales, last year.

Journeys Group

Journeys Group’s sales for the quarter increased 7.8% to $306 million from $284 million last year.
Combined comparable sales increased 6% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 compared with a 5% decrease last year.

Gross margin for the Journeys Group increased 40 basis points in the quarter due primarily to increased initial margins and decreased markdowns, partially offset by higher shipping and warehouse expenses. The Journeys Group’s SG&A expense decreased 150 basis points as a percent of sales for the first quarter, reflecting leverage of occupancy related costs and depreciation, partially offset by increased bonus expense.

The Journeys Group’s operating income for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $13.6 million, or 4.5% of sales, compared to $7.5 million, or 2.6% of sales, last year.

Schuh Group

Schuh Group’s sales for the quarter increased 5.0% to $80 million, compared to $76 million last year. Schuh Group sales increased $8.7 million due to increases in exchange rates during the first quarter this year compared to the same period last year. Total comparable sales decreased 13% compared to a 10% increase in comparable sales last year.

Gross margin for Schuh Group decreased 70 basis points in the quarter due primarily to increased promotional activity. Schuh Group’s SG&A expense increased 540 basis points reflecting the inability to leverage expenses, particularly occupancy related costs, due to the negative comparable sales for the quarter, partially offset by decreased bonus expense.

Schuh Group’s operating loss for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $(5.6) million, or (7.0)% of sales compared with $(0.7) million, or (0.9)% of sales last year. Schuh Group’s operating loss increased $0.6 million due to increases in exchange rates during the first quarter this year compared to the same period last year.

Johnston & Murphy Group

Johnston & Murphy Group’s first quarter sales increased 4.0% to $76 million, compared to $73 million in the first quarter last year.

Johnston & Murphy wholesale sales decreased 7% for the quarter. Combined comparable sales increased 7% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 compared to a 3% decrease last year.

Johnston & Murphy’s gross margin for the Group increased 210 basis points in the quarter primarily due to increased weighting of retail sales, which carry a higher gross margin, and lower warehouse expenses this year. SG&A expense as a percent of sales increased 70 basis points due to increased rent expense and selling



Exhibit 99.2

salaries, due primarily to a higher weighting of retail sales, and increased bonus expense, partially offset by decreased advertising expenses.

The Group’s operating income for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $5.0 million or 6.6% of sales, compared to $3.8 million, or 5.2% of sales last year.

Licensed Brands

Licensed Brands’ sales decreased 27.1% to $24 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, compared to $33 million in the first quarter last year, primarily reflecting decreased sales in Dockers Footwear and the expiration of a small footwear license.

Licensed Brands’ gross margin was down 130 basis points due to lower initial margins, reflecting increased closeout sales.

SG&A expense as a percent of sales increased 430 basis points due to decreased leverage from the lower sales across most expense categories and increased bonus expense, partially offset by decreased royalty, bad debt and advertising expenses.

Operating income for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $0.3 million or 1.3% of sales, compared to $2.3 million, or 6.9% of sales, last year.

Corporate

Corporate expenses were $9.8 million or 1.5% of sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, compared to $8.3 million or 1.3% of sales, last year. Adjusted for the applicable Excluded Items, corporate expenses were $8.2 million this year compared to $8.1 million last year, reflecting increased professional fees, partially offset by decreased other corporate expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is posted on the Company’s website in conjunction with this document.

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the performance outlook for the Company and its individual businesses (including, without limitation, sales, expenses, margins and earnings) and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. A number of factors could cause differences. These include adjustments to estimates and projections reflected in forward-looking statements, including the level and timing of promotional activity necessary to maintain inventories at appropriate levels; the Company’s ability to complete the sale of the Lids Sports Group business on acceptable terms and the timing of any sale transaction; the timing and amount of non-cash asset impairments related to retail store fixed assets and intangible assets of acquired businesses; the effectiveness of the Company's omnichannel initiatives; costs associated with changes in minimum wage and overtime requirements; the level of chargebacks from credit card users for fraudulent purchases or other reasons; weakness in the consumer economy and retail industry; competition in the Company's markets, including online and including competition from some of the Company’s vendors in both the licensed sports and branded footwear markets; fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings; weakness in shopping mall traffic and challenges to the viability of malls where the Company operates stores, related to planned closings of department stores or other factors; the effects of the implementation of federal tax reform on the estimated tax rate reflected in certain forward-looking statements; the imposition of tariffs on imported products or the disallowance of tax deductions on imported products; changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers; bankruptcies or deterioration in financial condition of significant wholesale customers or the inability of wholesale customers or consumers to obtain credit; disruptions in product supply or distribution; unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs, and other factors affecting the cost of products; the effects of the British decision to exit the European Union, including potential effects on consumer demand, currency exchange rates, and the supply chain; the Company's ability to continue to complete and integrate acquisitions, expand its business and diversify its product base; changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period-to-period sales comparisons; and the performance of athletic teams, the participants in major sporting events such as the NBA finals, Super Bowl and World Series, developments with respect to certain individual athletes, and other sports-related events or changes that may affect period-to-period comparisons in the Company's Lids Sports Group retail businesses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company reports consolidated financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, to supplement these consolidated financial results the Company’s presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures such as earnings and earnings per share. This supplemental information should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for related GAAP measures. The Company believes that disclosure of earnings and earnings 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. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP supplemental information to the comparable GAAP measures can be found in the Appendix.
