tiffany and co cheap tiffany jewelry NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
cheap tiffany jewelry
Tiffany & Co. ( TIF ) today reported its financial results for the
three months (“second quarter”) ended July 31, 2014. Net earnings rose
16% due to a 7% increase in worldwide net sales and a higher gross
margin. Management increased its earnings forecast for the current
fiscal year by five cents per share.

Michael J. Kowalski, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “These
healthy second quarter results reflected solid sales growth in our
stores, particularly in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions. In
addition, an improved gross margin was an important contributor to the
earnings growth. We were also pleased with solid performance across most
product categories, ranging from the success of perennial classics in
fine, statement and engagement jewelry to our newest ATLAS collection,
and we are excited about the current debut of our new TIFFANY T jewelry
collection.”

In the second quarter:

Worldwide net sales increased 7% to $993 million. On a
constant-exchange-rate basis excluding the effect of translating
foreign-currency-denominated sales into U.S. dollars (see “Non-GAAP
Measures”), worldwide net sales increased 7% and comparable store
sales increased 3% largely due to growth in the Americas and
Asia-Pacific regions.
Net earnings rose 16% to $124 million, or $0.96 per diluted share,
compared with $107 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, in last year’s
second quarter, benefiting from the sales growth and a higher gross
margin.

In the six months (“first half”) ended July 31,
2014:

Worldwide net sales rose 10% to $2.0 billion. On a
constant-exchange-rate basis, (see “Non-GAAP Measures”), worldwide net
sales rose 11% due to sales growth in all regions and comparable store
sales rose 7%.
Net earnings increased 31% to $250 million, or $1.92 per diluted
share, from $190 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, in the first
half of last year. Excluding pre-tax expense of $9 million, or $0.05
per diluted share, that was recorded in last year’s first quarter for
staff and occupancy reductions (see “Non-GAAP Measures”), net earnings
rose 27%.

Net sales highlights by region were as follows:

In the Americas, total sales rose 9% in the second quarter to $484
million and increased 8% in the first half to $922 million. On a
constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales rose 10% in the quarter and
9% in the half reflecting geographically-broad-based growth across
most of the region, while comparable store sales were up 8% in both
periods.
In Asia-Pacific, total sales increased 14% in the second quarter to
$237 million and rose 15% in the first half to $498 million. On a
constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales rose 13% in the second
quarter and 16% in the first half with comparable store sales up 7%
and 9%, respectively, due to strong growth in Greater China and
Australia.
In Japan, total sales declined 13% in the second quarter to $119
million (a 10% decline on a constant-exchange-rate basis). As
expected, the second quarter’s sales decline reflected a softening of
customer demand after exceptionally strong 20% total sales growth in
the first quarter (a 29% increase on a constant-exchange-rate basis)
when customers had accelerated their purchases in anticipation of an
increase in Japan’s consumption tax on April 1 st .
Management noted that, after a substantial sales decline in April, the
Company experienced sequentially smaller rates of monthly sales
declines during the second quarter. In the first half, total sales
rose 4% to $293 million (a 10% increase on a constant-exchange-rate
basis). Comparable store sales on a constant-exchange-rate basis
declined 13% in the quarter and increased 9% in the half.
In Europe, total sales increased 8% in both the second quarter and
first half to $120 million and $221 million, respectively. On a
constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales increased 1% in the quarter
and 2% in the half; comparable store sales declined 8% and 5%,
respectively, reflecting weak performance in the U.K. and most of
continental Europe.
Other sales rose 28% in the second quarter to $33 million and 34% in
the first half to $71 million. The increases were primarily due to
retail sales growth reflecting the opening of the first
Company-operated TIFFANY & CO. store in Russia, as well as 2% and 10%
comparable store sales growth in the United Arab Emirates.
During the second quarter, Tiffany opened one store in the Americas in
Aventura, Florida; it has opened five stores in the first half. At
July 31, 2014, the Company operated 293 stores (122 in the Americas,
72 in Asia-Pacific, 55 in Japan, 38 in Europe, five in the U.A.E. and
one in Russia), versus the prior year’s 277 stores (116 in the
Americas, 67 in Asia-Pacific, 54 in Japan, 35 in Europe and five in
the U.A.E.).

Other financial highlights:

Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) increased to
59.9% in the second quarter and 59.1% in the first half, from 57.5%
and 56.8% in the respective prior-year periods. The increases largely
reflected favorable product costs and price increases taken across all
product categories and regions, and, to a lesser extent, sales
leverage on fixed costs resulting from the increase in worldwide net
sales.
SG&A (selling, general and administrative) expenses rose 9% in the
second quarter primarily due to increases in labor and other
store-related costs, as well as higher marketing spending, and SG&A
expenses rose 7% in the first half. Excluding $9 million of staff and
occupancy reduction expenses recorded in last year’s first quarter,
SG&A expenses in the first half rose 8%.
The operating margin (earnings from operations as a percentage of net
sales) rose to 21.0% in the second quarter due to the higher gross
margin, and rose to 20.9% in the first half due to the higher gross
margin and sales leverage on operating expenses.
The effective tax rate was 35.5% in the second quarter and 35.3% in
the first half, versus 34.2% and 34.5% in the respective prior-year
periods.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $398
million at July 31, 2014, versus $490 million a year ago. Total
short-term and long-term debt, and as a percentage of stockholders’
equity, were $1.03 billion and 35%, respectively, at July 31, 2014,
versus $964 million and 35% a year ago.
Net inventories were $2.5 billion at July 31, 2014, or 9% higher than
a year ago, in support of new product introductions and anticipated
sales growth.
Capital expenditures were $91 million in the first half, compared with
$87 million a year ago.
In March 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new
program to repurchase up to $300 million of the Company's common stock
over a three-year period which expires in March 2017. The Company
spent approximately $9 million in the second quarter to repurchase
102,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $90.98 per
share, and it spent approximately $16 million in the first half to
repurchase 184,000 shares at an average cost of $89.18 per share. At
July 31, 2014, $284 million remained authorized for future repurchases.

Outlook for 2014:


For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015, management is now
forecasting net earnings in a range of $4.20-$4.30 per diluted share,
versus its most recently-published forecast of $4.15-$4.25 per diluted
share. This full year forecast is based on the following assumptions,
which are approximate and may or may not prove valid:


1) Worldwide net sales increasing by a high-single-digit percentage.


2) Opening 10 Company-operated stores and closing three existing stores:
opening four in the Americas, two in Asia-Pacific, two in Japan, and one
each in Europe and Russia, while closing one each in the Americas,
Asia-Pacific and the U.A.E.


3) Operating margin increasing due to a higher gross margin and SG&A
expense growth less than sales growth.


4) Interest and other expenses, net of $65 million with the increase
over 2013 reflecting the interest cost on higher average levels of
net-debt.


5) An effective income tax rate of 35%.


6) A 6% increase in net inventories.


7) Capital expenditures of $270 million, versus $221 million last year,
with the increase largely reflecting incremental investments in certain
information technology systems.


8) Free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less capital
expenditures) of at least $400 million.

NON-GAAP MEASURES


The Company reports information in accordance with U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Company's management does
not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider non-GAAP
financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents such
non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to
provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate the Company's
operating results.


Net Sales


The Company's reported net sales reflect either a translation-related
benefit from strengthening foreign currencies or a detriment from a
strengthening U.S. dollar. Internally, management monitors and measures
its sales performance on a non-GAAP basis that eliminates the positive
or negative effects that result from translating sales made outside the
U.S. into U.S. dollars (“constant-exchange-rate basis”). Management
believes this constant-exchange-rate basis provides a more
representative assessment of sales performance and provides better
comparability between reporting periods. The following table reconciles
the sales percentage increases (decreases) from the GAAP to the non-GAAP
basis versus the previous year:

Net Earnings


The accompanying press release presents net earnings and highlights
expenses tied to certain items in the text. Management believes
excluding such items presents the Company's results on a more comparable
basis to the corresponding period in the prior year, thereby providing
investors with an additional perspective to analyze the results of
operations of the Company at July 31, 2014. The following table
reconciles certain GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts:
