1. Significant Accounting Policies  

 

Basis of Presentation — The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of Tailored Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  As applicable under such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted.  We believe the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, and the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Our business results historically have fluctuated throughout the year and, as a result, the operating results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, "Company", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Tailored Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures.  Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — We have considered all new accounting pronouncements and have concluded there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, based on current information, except for those listed below. 

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases.  ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The main difference between previous U.S. GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted.  The guidance is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach.  We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows but expect that it will result in a significant increase in our long-term assets and liabilities given we have a considerable number of operating leases.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.  As a result of this deferral, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The guidance allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. 

 

Based on our preliminary assessment, we determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact the timing of revenue recognition related to our customer loyalty program and gift cards. Upon adoption, for our customer loyalty program, we will no longer use the incremental cost method approach, rather we will use a deferred revenue model.  For income from breakage of gift cards, which is currently recognized as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") when the redemption of the gift card is remote, the new guidance requires classification within net sales with breakage recognized proportionately over the expected redemption period. Additionally, under the new guidance, we expect to recognize allowances for estimated sales returns on a gross basis rather than net basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are in the process of finalizing and quantifying the effects of the areas described above including additional disclosure requirements.  We will adopt ASU 2014-09 on February 4, 2018, under the modified retrospective approach, which will result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

 

2.  Termination of Tuxedo Rental License Agreement with Macy's

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we reached an agreement with Macy's to wind down operations under the tuxedo rental license agreement established between Macy's and The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. ("The Men's Wearhouse") in 2015. The winding down of our tuxedo shops within Macy's is complete and all tuxedo shops within Macy's closed in the second quarter of 2017. 

 

As a result of the agreement, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we incurred $17.2 million of termination-related costs, of which $14.6 million were cash charges.  These costs included $12.3 million related to contract termination, $1.4 million of rental product write-offs, $1.2 million of asset impairment charges and $2.3 million of other costs, all of which relate to our retail segment. Of the $17.2 million in termination-related costs, $15.8 million is recorded in SG&A and $1.4 million is included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.  At October 28, 2017, $0.4 million of such costs are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

3.  Restructuring and Other Charges

 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we began implementing initiatives intended to reduce costs and improve operating performance.  These initiatives included a store rationalization program as well as a profit improvement program to drive operating efficiencies and improve our expense structure. These programs were substantially completed in fiscal 2016 and resulted in the closure of 75 Jos. A. Bank full line stores, the closure of 56 factory and outlet stores at Jos. A. Bank and Men's Wearhouse and the closure of 102 Men's Wearhouse and Tux stores.

 

No charges were incurred under these initiatives for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017.  A summary of the charges incurred in the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016 incurred under these initiatives since inception is presented in the table below (amounts in thousands):

 

(1) Consists of $12.4 million in SG&A offset by a $1.5 million reduction in cost of sales for the three months ended October 29, 2016.  Of the total amount recorded for the three months ended October 29, 2016, $9.1 million relates to our retail segment and $1.8 million relates to shared services. Consists of $61.8 million included in SG&A offset by a $2.7 million reduction in cost of sales for the nine months ended October 29, 2016.  Of the total amount recorded for the nine months ended October 29, 2016, $42.7 million relates to our retail segment and $16.4 million relates to shared services.

 

The following table is a rollforward of amounts included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the pre-tax restructuring and other charges (amounts in thousands):

 

 

In addition to the restructuring costs described above, for the three months ended October 29, 2016, we incurred integration and other costs related to Jos. A. Bank totaling $1.4 million, of which $0.9 million are included in SG&A and $0.5 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. 

 

For the nine months ended October 29, 2016, we incurred integration and other costs related to Jos. A. Bank totaling $7.1 million, of which $5.5 million are included in SG&A and $1.6 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

 

4.  Earnings Per Share    

 

Basic earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflect the more dilutive earnings per common share amount calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method.  For the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, the treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings per common share while the two-class method was used for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders are computed using the actual net earnings allocated to common shareholders and the actual weighted-average common shares outstanding rather than the rounded numbers presented within our condensed consolidated statement of earnings and the accompanying notes.  As a result, it may not be possible to recalculate earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings and the accompanying notes. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

 

For the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, 2.2 million and 2.1 million anti-dilutive shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016, 1.9 million and 1.7 million anti-dilutive shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, respectively.

 

5.  Debt

 

In 2014, The Men's Wearhouse entered into a term loan credit agreement that provides for a senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion (the "Term Loan") and a $500.0 million asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility", and together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities") with certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and Moores the Suit People Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, as co-borrowers. Proceeds from the Term Loan were reduced by an $11.0 million original issue discount ("OID"), which is presented as a reduction of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan on the balance sheet and will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the Term Loan. In addition, in 2014, The Men's Wearhouse issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Senior Notes").

 

In October 2017, The Men’s Wearhouse amended the ABL Facility in part to increase the principal amount available to $550.0 million and extend the maturity date to October 2022.  See Credit Facilities section below for additional information. 

 

The Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes contain customary non-financial and financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios, total leverage ratios and secured leverage ratios.  In addition, we are currently restricted on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in excess of $10.0 million per quarter. Since entering into these financing arrangements, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio have been above the maximums specified in the

agreements, which was anticipated when we entered into these arrangements. As a result, we were subject to certain additional restrictions, including limitations on our ability to make significant acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness. As of October 28, 2017, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio were below the maximums specified in the agreements and we believe these ratios will remain below the maximums specified in the agreements during the remainder of fiscal 2017 and beyond, which will result in the elimination of these additional restrictions. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facilities, we made a mandatory excess cash flow prepayment offer of $4.6 million to the Term Loan lenders prior to April 28, 2017.  On May 2, 2017, the entire $4.6 million prepayment was made together with normal principal and interest payments on the Term Loan.

 

Credit Facilities

 

The Term Loan is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and will mature in June 2021.  The interest rate on the Term Loan is based on 1-month LIBOR, which was 1.24% at October 28, 2017, plus the applicable margin which is currently 3.50%, resulting in a total interest rate of 4.74%.  In January 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, in which the variable rate payments due under a portion of the Term Loan were exchanged for a fixed rate.  In April 2017, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement to exchange variable rate payments under a portion of the Term Loan for a fixed rate.  At October 28, 2017, the total notional amount under our interest rate swaps is $490.0 million.  See Note 14 for additional information on our interest rate swaps.

 

In 2015, The Men's Wearhouse entered into Incremental Facility Agreement No. 1 (the "Incremental Agreement") resulting in a refinancing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum.  The Incremental Agreement did not impact the total amount borrowed under the Term Loan, the maturity date of the Term Loan, or collateral and guarantees under the Term Loan. 

 

As a result of our interest rate swaps and the Incremental Agreement, we have converted a significant portion of the variable interest rate under the Term Loan to a fixed rate and, as of October 28, 2017, the Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate of 5.13%.

 

In October 2017, we amended our ABL Facility, which now provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $550.0 million, with possible future increases to $650.0 million under an expansion feature, that matures in October 2022, and is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The ABL Facility has several borrowing and interest rate options including the following indices:  (i) adjusted LIBOR, (ii) Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") rate, (iii) Canadian prime rate or (iv) an alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate, the New York Federal Reserve Bank (“NYFRB”) rate plus 0.5% or adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%). Advances under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of up to 1.75%.  The ABL Facility also provides for fees applicable to amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit which range from 1.25% to 1.75%, and a fee on unused commitments of 0.25%.  As of October 28, 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.  During the nine months ended October 28, 2017, the maximum borrowing outstanding under the ABL Facility was $34.7 million.

 

We utilize letters of credit primarily as collateral for workers compensation claims and to secure inventory purchases.  At October 28, 2017, letters of credit totaling approximately $38.7 million were issued and outstanding. Borrowings available under the ABL Facility as of October 28, 2017 were $511.3 million.

 

Senior Notes

 

The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors, respectively, and will rank equally with all of the Company's and each guarantor's present and future senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes will mature in July 2022.  Interest on the Senior Notes is payable in January and July of each year.

 

Long-Term Debt

 

During the third quarter of 2017, we repurchased and retired $65.0 million in face value of Senior Notes through open market transactions, which were consummated via borrowings on our ABL Facility.  As a result, we recorded a net gain on extinguishment totaling $2.5 million, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.  The net gain on extinguishment reflects a $3.4 million gain upon repurchase partially offset by the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $0.9 million related to the Senior Notes. 

 

For the nine months ended October 28, 2017, as a result of the repurchase and retirement of a total of $115.0 million in face value of Senior Notes and our excess cash flow prepayment, we recorded a net gain on extinguishment totaling $6.5 million, which reflects a $8.2 million gain upon repurchase partially offset by the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.7 million, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

 

The following table provides details on our long-term debt as of October 28, 2017, October 29, 2016 and January 28, 2017 (in thousands):

 

 

 

6.  Supplemental Cash Flows

 

Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information is as follows (in thousands):

 

 

We had unpaid capital expenditure purchases included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of approximately $7.1 million and $7.8 million at October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively.  Capital expenditure purchases are recorded as cash outflows from investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in the period they are paid. 

 

Cash dividends declared of $9.2 million and $9.0 million at October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively, are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

 

7.  Inventories

 

The following table provides details on our inventories as of October 28, 2017, October 29, 2016 and January 28, 2017 (in thousands):

 

 

8.  Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rate increased to 32.8% for the third quarter of 2017 from 24.1% for the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to higher U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions this year compared to last year.

 

Our effective income tax rate increased to 34.2% for the first nine months of 2017 from 27.3% for the first nine months of 2016 primarily due to higher U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions this year compared to last year.  In addition, the effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2017 was impacted by $2.2 million of tax deficiencies related to the vesting of stock-based awards resulting from the adoption of new accounting guidance related to stock-based compensation.  See Note 11 for additional information.

 

Additionally, we are currently undergoing several federal, foreign and state audits; however, we currently do not believe these audits will result in any material charge to tax expense in the future.
