Tailored Brands stock dips on weak Q3 revenue, guidance

Specialty apparel retailer Tailored Brands (TLRD) reported a 62% dip in earnings for the third quarter due to goodwill impairment charge as well as higher operating expenses. The bottom line exceeded analysts’ expectations. The stock plunged over 22% in the after-market session following the company’s weak top-line and guidance.

Net income dropped 62% to $13.9 million and earnings plunged 64% to $0.27 per share. The results included goodwill impairment charges related to corporate apparel business, the repricing of the term loan, the retirement of former CEO, and closure of a rental product distribution center in the second quarter. Adjusted earnings grew 35% to $1.01 per share.

Total net sales inched up 0.2% to $812.7 million. Retail net sales rose 0.6% primarily due to an increase in retail clothing sales, which drove positive 2.3% retail comparable sales. This was partially offset by a $7.3 million decrease in alteration and other services primarily resulting from the MW Cleaners divestiture.

Corporate apparel net sales decreased 3.6% primarily due to lower sales in the United Kingdom associated with uncertainty surrounding Brexit, as well as the impact of a weaker British pound this year.
