The Company believes it is valuable for users of the Company's financial statements to be aware of the adjusted financial information, as management uses such measures to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's continuing businesses on a comparable basis and to make operating and strategic decisions. In addition, the Company uses performance targets based, in part, on non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP operating income as a component of the measurement of certain kinds of employee incentive compensation.
"Fiscal 2011 was another successful year for Warnaco," commented Helen McCluskey, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We remained focused on our key strategic initiatives, growing our Calvin Klein® businesses, expanding our international reach, building our direct-to-consumer platform and improving the profitability of our Heritage brands. Our net revenue results, 12% growth in Calvin Klein, 17% growth in international and a 28% increase in direct-to-consumer businesses, demonstrate the strength of our brands and our diversified global business model."
"We look forward to building on our strengths and positioning the business for the future. While we incurred significant restructuring charges in fiscal 2011 to reorganize our business, including a fourth quarter charge related to the expected transition out of our European CK/Calvin Klein bridge business, we will now focus our resources on our global Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear businesses which we believe present greater opportunities for profitable growth."
"I am pleased with all we accomplished this year and I am proud to take the helm of Warnaco as we begin 2012," Ms. McCluskey continued. "We continue to see significant opportunities to improve our operating results as we leverage our diversified global model, exploit the power of our brands, increase our market share in key areas and expand into new territories. Warnaco has built a strong team committed to our strategy and vision. I want to credit our more than 7,100 associates around the world for their contribution to our positive results. I am confident in our strategies and expect to continue making strides toward our near and long-term goals in fiscal 2012."
Fiscal 2012 Outlook
For fiscal 2012, on an adjusted, non-GAAP, basis (excluding restructuring expense and assuming minimal pension expense) and based on recent exchange rates, the Company anticipates:
- Net revenues will grow 4% - 6% compared to fiscal 2011 (6%-8% based on 2011 average exchange rates); and
- Adjusted, non-GAAP, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $4.20 - $4.45.
Schedule 7 of the accompanying tables provides a reconciliation of anticipated diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, on a GAAP basis of $3.64 - $3.70 per diluted share (assuming minimal pension expense), to the adjusted, non-GAAP, fiscal 2012 outlook above.
Fiscal 2011 Highlights
Total Company
Net revenues increased 9.5% to $2.5 billion compared to the prior year. The Company's Calvin Klein net revenues were up 12% compared to the prior year, driven by international and direct-to-consumer expansion. International net revenues were up 17% and direct-to-consumer revenues increased 28%. Gross margin declined 60 basis points compared to the prior year, reflecting the impact of increased product costs and challenging business conditions in both the U.S. and Europe. SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenues increased 60 basis points, due primarily to restructuring expense and continued investment in the Company's direct-to-consumer business.
The Company incurred $60.9 million of restructuring charges, of which $40.0 million were non-cash charges, primarily related to an impairment charge associated with the expected transition out of the Company's European CK/Calvin Klein bridge business. The affected bridge businesses, in the aggregate, incurred operating losses in each of the past two years. A more detailed discussion of these restructuring charges can be found in the financial tables accompanying this release as well as in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Operating income was $181.5 million (or 7% of net revenues) for fiscal 2011 compared to $247.8 million (or 11% of net revenues) for fiscal 2010 and includes pension and restructuring expense of $87.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively.
The Company's effective tax rate was 21% for fiscal 2011 compared to 36% for fiscal 2010. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 includes approximately $19.0 million of net tax benefits, primarily related to the recognition of pre-2004 net operating losses in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of receiving a favorable ruling from that country's taxing authority ($11 million) and a reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions ($7 million). The Company's adjusted, non-GAAP, effective tax rate was 32% for fiscal 2011 compared to 33% for fiscal 2010.
The Company's income from continuing operations fell to to $132.3 million (or $3.01 per diluted share) in fiscal 2011 compared to $147.8 million (or $3.19 per diluted share) in fiscal 2010. On an adjusted, non-GAAP basis (excluding costs related to restructuring expenses, pension expense, certain tax-related items and other items), income from continuing operations was $ 174.1 million (or $3.96 per diluted share) for fiscal 2011 compared to $165.5 million (or $3.57 per diluted share) in the prior year.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 resulted in an increase in reported net revenues of $59.0 million and a decrease in reported income per diluted share from continuing operations of approximately $0.12. A more comprehensive discussion regarding the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's operating results can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Total Company
Net revenues were up 4% to $614.7 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily fueled by growth in the Company's Calvin Klein businesses. Net revenues from the Company's international businesses increased 4% compared to the prior year quarter, while the domestic business grew 5%. Direct-to-consumer net revenues increased 14% compared to the prior year quarter. Net revenues in the Company's Heritage (non-Calvin Klein) businesses decreased 5%, compared to the prior year quarter. Growth in the Company's Core Intimates business was offset by a decrease in the Company's Chaps® business, which resulted primarily from weaker demand in the moderate priced channel.
Gross margin increased 60 basis points compared to the prior year quarter, due in part to a greater proportion of sales in the Company's higher margin direct-to-consumer business compared to its wholesale business. SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenues decreased 60 basis points to 34% of net revenues. The Company incurred an operating loss of ($5.5) million, compared to operating income of $45.1 million (or 8% of net revenues) in the prior year quarter. Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 included $69.6 million of pension and restructuring expense (including a $35.2 million non-cash impairment charge associated with the expected transition out of the Company's European CK/Calvin Klein bridge business), compared to $8.6 million of pension and restructuring expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
The loss from continuing operations was ($6.6) million (or ($0.16) per diluted share) compared to income from continuing operations of $28.0 million (or $0.61 per diluted share) in the prior year quarter. On an adjusted, non-GAAP basis (excluding costs related to restructuring expenses, pension expense, certain tax-related items and other items), income from continuing operations was $40.7 million (or $0.97 per diluted share) compared to $34.1 million (or $0.74 per diluted share) in the prior year period.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates during the quarter compared to the prior year quarter resulted in a decrease in reported net revenues of $6.3 million and an increase in reported income per diluted share from continuing operations of approximately $0.02.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 were $232.5 million compared to $191.2 million at January 1, 2011. During fiscal 2011, the Company purchased 4.3 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase programs for approximately $217.1 million, which was primarily funded with proceeds from the Company's $200 million term loan facility entered into in June 2011.
Inventories were $350.8 million at December 31, 2011, up 13% compared to $310.5 million at January 1, 2011. Increased product costs, the expansion of the Company's direct-to-consumer business and new store openings planned for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were key contributors to the increase in inventories. The Company is comfortable with the quality of its inventory, and anticipates that inventory levels will be more in line with projected revenue growth as it moves through 2012.

(i) The Company's license agreement to operate the "bridge" apparel business in Europe (the "CK/Calvin Klein "bridge" Apparel License") requires the Company to, among other things, meet certain minimum sales thresholds for the two consecutive annual periods of 2010 and 2011. During 2010 and 2011, the Company did not achieve the aforementioned minimum sales thresholds required under the CK/Calvin Klein "bridge" Apparel License. As a result, the Company and Calvin Klein. Inc. ("CKI") no longer intend for the Company to continue to operate all or part of the bridge business. The Company has begun discussions with CKI regarding the terms and conditions of the transition of all or part of the Company's bridge business to CKI. Based on the factors described above, during the finalization of its financial statements for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $35,225 in its Sportswear Group related to its licenses to operate the "bridge" business. |

| (Unaudited) | |||||||
a) For all periods presented, this adjustment seeks to present operating income, income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effects of restructuring charges and pension income. Restructuring charges (on a pre-tax basis) were $41,950 and $60,939 for the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011, respectively, and $5,999 and $9,809 for the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011, respectively. Restructuring charges include, among other items, non-cash charges of $38,853 and $40,020 for the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 (Including an impairment charge of $35,225 related to the Company's bridge business. See footnote (c) on Schedule 3.), respectively, and $1,621 and $1,621 for the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011, respectively. Pension expense (on a pre-tax basis) was $26,675 and $26,744 for the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011, respectively, and $2,615 and $2,550 for the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011, respectively. The income tax rates used to compute the income tax effect related to this adjustment correspond to the local statutory tax rates of the reporting entities that incurred restructuring charges or recognized pension income. | |||||||
| b) This adjustment seeks to present operating income, income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effects of an additional charge related to an adjustment to the contingent consideration to be paid for the business acquired in Brazil in 2009 of $1,521 ($1,004 after tax) for the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011. The income tax rate used to compute the income tax effect related to this adjustment corresponds to the local statutory tax rate in Brazil. | |||||||
| c) This adjustment seeks to present operating income, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding the charges shown above for certain franchise taxes recorded during the Three Months and the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011, related to the correction of amounts recorded in prior periods. The amount was not material to any prior period. The income tax rates used to compute the income tax effect related to the abovementioned charge for franchise taxes correspond to the statutory tax rates in the United States. | |||||||
| d) This adjustment seeks to present income from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effect of the charges shown in the table above related to the repurchase of a portion of the Company's Senior Notes during the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011. The income tax rates used to compute the income tax effect related to this adjustment correspond to the statutory tax rates in the United States. | |||||||
|
e) For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011, this adjustment
seeks to present income from continuing operations and diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to
Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effects of
certain discrete items or changes in estimates in prior period tax
provisions as follows:
- a $10,900 tax benefit recorded during the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 associated with the recognition of pre-2004 net operating losses in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of receiving a favorable ruling from that country's taxing authority during the second quarter of 2011,
- a $7,300 tax benefit recorded during the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 related to the reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign tax jurisdictions and,
- an $812 net tax benefit, recorded during the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011, comprised of changes in various domestic and foreign tax provision estimates for the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011 following the filing of certain of the Company's tax returns during 2011 and adjustments for other discrete items. The adjustments for other discrete items reflect the federal, state and foreign tax effects related to: 1) direct and indirect income taxes associated with legal entity reorganizations and restructurings; 2) tax provision or benefit resulting from statute expirations or the finalization of income tax examinations, and 3) other adjustments not considered part of the Company's core business activities. | |||||||
| For the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011, this adjustment seeks to present income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders without the effects of certain tax adjustments related to errors or changes in estimates in prior period tax provisions (approximately $2,300) and adjustments for certain other discrete tax items (approximately $2,600). The adjustment related to prior period errors or estimate changes includes, among other items, a charge of approximately $2,300 recorded during the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011 associated with the correction of an error in the 2006 through 2009 income tax provisions as a consequence of the loss of a credit related to prior year tax overpayments caused by the delayed filing of tax returns in a U.S. state taxing jurisdiction. This error was not material to any prior period. The adjustments for other discrete items reflect the federal, state and foreign tax effects related to: 1) direct and indirect income taxes associated with legal entity reorganizations and restructurings; 2) tax provision or benefit resulting from statute expirations or the finalization of income tax examinations, and 3) other adjustments not considered part of the Company's core business activities. | |||||||
| For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011, this adjustment reflects an additional amount that is required to be excluded such that income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Warnaco Group, Inc. common shareholders on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 is presented at a tax rate of 32.0% (which reflects the Company's tax rate for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis after excluding the following: restructuring charges, pension expense and certain income tax adjustments related to discrete items and changes in estimates in prior period tax provisions as discussed above). | |||||||
| For the Three Months Ended January 1, 2011, this adjustment reflects an additional amount that is required to be excluded such that income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis for the Three Months Ended January 1, 2011 is presented at a tax rate of 33.4% (which reflects the Company's tax rate for the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2011 on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis after excluding the following: restructuring charges, pension expense (income), charges related to the adjustment of the contingent consideration to be paid for the business acquired in Brazil in 2009, franchise taxes, charges related to the repurchase of debt and certain income tax related adjustments related to errors or changes in estimates in prior period tax provisions and certain other discrete tax items). | |||||||
| f) The Company believes it is valuable for users of its financial statements to be made aware of the non-GAAP financial information, as such measures are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's continuing businesses on a comparable basis and to make operating and strategic decisions. Management believes such non-GAAP measures will also enhance users' ability to analyze trends in the Company's business. In addition, the Company uses performance targets based on non-GAAP operating income and diluted earnings per share as a component of the measurement of incentive compensation. | |||||||

| Note 1: |
| The Warnaco Group, Inc. is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company from translating its foreign revenues into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to the Company's reported operating results, the Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in the Company's businesses. |
| To calculate the increase in segment revenues on a constant currency basis, net revenues for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S.dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period). |
| These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |

| As adjusted (Non-GAAP basis) (c) | $ | 4.20 | to | $ | 4.45 | |||
| (a) | To calculate the expected increase in net revenues on a constant currency basis, expected net revenues for the Fiscal Year Ending December 29, 2012 for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar have been translated into U.S.dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 (rather recent exchange rates). | |
| (b) | Reflects between $24 million to $31 million of estimated restructuring charges (net of an income tax benefit of between $6 million and $9 million) primarily related to the consolidation of certain international operations. Depending on the outcome of discussions with CKI, the Company could incur additional restructuring charges related to the transition of all or part of its CK/Calvin Klein "bridge" businesses to CKI. | |
| (c) | The Company believes it is useful for users of its financial statements to be made aware of the "As Adjusted" (non-GAAP) forecasted diluted income per common share from continuing operations as this is one of the measures used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's continuing businesses on a comparable basis. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure will also enhance users' ability to analyze trends in the Company's business. In addition, the Company uses performance targets based, in part, on this non-GAAP measure as a component of the measurement of employee incentive compensation. Management does not, nor should investors, consider this non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
