NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Kate Spade & Company (NYSE: KATE) today announced results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2016.

Craig A. Leavitt, Chief Executive Officer of Kate Spade & Company, said: "In the third quarter, several macroeconomic factors, including a challenging retail environment and continuing tourist headwinds, impacted our results. That said, we are making solid progress on several strategies that are continuing to drive growth in our business, which is reflected in the consumer's strong response to our collections at full-price. We remain focused on the factors we can control as we continue to grow our business and execute our long-term strategy, maintaining our commitment to become a $4 billion business at retail."

George Carrara, President and Chief Operating Officer of Kate Spade & Company, added: "In the third quarter, we delivered direct-to-consumer comparable sales growth of 7% and top-line growth of 15%. While gross margin pressures have increased in our off-price business, we were able to offset these conditions through strong expense controls. We expect that these efforts, which enabled us to achieve Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion for the third quarter, will help us achieve our 2016 guidance. We remain confident in our long-term strategy."

For the first nine months of 2016 on a GAAP basis, the Company recorded income from continuing operations of $65 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2015 of $(40) million, or $(0.31) per diluted share. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2016 were $0.29, using a normalized tax rate, compared to Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.15 in the first nine months of 2015. Net sales for the first nine months of 2016 were $911 million, an increase of $97 million, or 11.9%, compared to the first nine months of 2015.

CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION

The Company will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time today to discuss its results for the third quarter 2016. The dial-in number is 1-888-694-4676 with pass code 87844308. The webcast can be accessed via the Investor Relations section of the Kate Spade & Company website at www.katespadeandcompany.com. An archive of the webcast will be available on the website. Additional information on the results of the Company's operations is available in the Company's Form 10-Q for the third quarter 2016, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company expects to report fourth quarter 2016 financial results on Thursday, February 23, 2017.

PRESENTATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND KEY OPERATING METRICS

The income (loss) from continuing operations for 2016 and 2015 is presented on a GAAP basis and also adjusted by multiplying pretax income (loss) by a normalized tax rate. The Company presents the below-described Adjusted EBITDA measures, 2016 results using a normalized tax rate and 2015 adjusted results because it considers them important supplemental measures of its performance and believes they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry.

Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 exclude the impact of expenses incurred in connection with the Company's streamlining initiatives (such as severance costs, contract termination costs, asset write-downs and other costs) and brand-exiting activities, acquisition related costs and loss on settlement of note receivable. The adjusted results for 2015 also exclude a $26 million charge related to the termination of certain contracts with the Company's former joint venture partner in Kate Spade China Co., Ltd. In addition to those items, the Company presents its 2015 adjusted results further adjusted to exclude the adjusted results of wind-down operations (Kate Spade Saturday, Jack Spade brick and mortar, Kate Spade Brazil and brand exits in the Adelington Design Group segment). The Company believes that the adjusted results excluding wind-down operations provide a presentation of its 2015 results that will provide investors with a means to compare those results to its 2016 results. The attached tables, captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information," provide a full reconciliation of actual results to the adjusted results. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude income tax provision (benefit), interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, net, expenses incurred in connection with the Company's streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities, acquisition related costs, non-cash impairment charges, losses on asset disposals, loss on settlement of note receivable, non-cash share-based compensation expense and unrealized and certain realized foreign currency transaction adjustments, net. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Wind-Down Operations, which the Company defines as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to remove the Adjusted EBITDA of Kate Spade Saturday, Jack Spade brick and mortar, Kate Spade Brazil and the brand exits in the Adelington Design Group segment.  The Company believes this Adjusted EBITDA measure provides a presentation of its 2015 results that will provide investors with a means to compare those results to its 2016 results. The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because it uses such measures to monitor the performance of its business on a comparable basis and to determine certain levels of compensation. The Company believes the presentation of these measures enhances the ability of its investors to analyze trends in its business and provides them with a means to compare periods that may be affected by various items that might obscure trends or developments in its business. References to amounts "on a comparable basis" mean that those amounts exclude the impact of wind-down operations. 

The Company determined that the Kate Spade Saturday, Jack Spade, Kate Spade Brazil and Adelington Design Group initiatives in 2015 did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's operations and therefore did not present these activities as discontinued operations.

The Company evaluates comparable sales productivity based on comparable net sales per average square foot, which is defined as net sales divided by the average of beginning and end of period gross square feet and excludes e-commerce net sales. The Company's policy regarding its calculation of comparable direct-to-consumer net sales is discussed in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2016. The Company presents the above described key operating metrics because it considers them important supplemental measures of its performance and believes they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry.
