The EPS does not represent 1% of sales. A little cold and goodbye
LONDON, August 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Investor-Edge.com has issued free earnings briefing on American Eagle Outfitters Incorporation (NYSE: AEO). The company featured in the headlines on Wednesday, August 20, 2014 after declaring its results for the second quarter ended August 02, 2014. During Q2 2014, the company's diluted EPS declined $0.07 Y-o-Y and its net revenue decreased 2% Y-o-Y. Our free coverage report can be accessed at:
http://www.investor-edge.com/register
Earnings Overview
During Q2 FY14, American Eagle Outfitters Inc. reported net revenue of $710.59 million, compared with $727.31 million in the prior year quarter. For Q2 FY14, the company's diluted earnings decreased to $0.03 per share, from $0.10 in the year ago period. Analysts from Bloomberg were expecting the company to report flat diluted EPS and net revenue of $689.68 million in Q2 FY14. American Eagle Outfitters Inc.'s consolidated comparable store sales for the reported quarter decreased by further 7%, following a 7% decline in Q2 FY13. The free research on AEO can be downloaded as in PDF format at:
http://www.Investor-Edge.com/AEOFreeReport
During Q2 FY14, the company's gross profit declined 3% Y-o-Y to $237.55 million from $245.49 million in the prior year quarter, while the gross profit margin fell by 40 basis points Y-o-Y to 33.4% during the quarter. The company's gross margin reflected the effect of de-leverage of buying, occupancy and warehousing costs on negative comparable sales, which was largely offset by favourable merchandise and design costs and a slight improvement in the markdown rate. Further, in Q2 FY14, American Eagle's operating income fell by 59% Y-o-Y to $12.05 million, while its operating margin decreased 240 basis points to 1.7%. The company's selling, general and administrative expenses during the reported quarter increased 2% or $3.74 million Y-o-Y to $190.08 million. As a rate to revenue, SG&A expenses during the reported quarter increased 110 basis points Y-o-Y to 26.7%, driven by investments in advertising, international growth, factory stores and omni-channel initiatives, though the increase was partially offset by reductions in overhead and variable expenses.
Commenting on the company's quarterly results, Jay Schottenstein, Interim CEO of American Eagle Outfitters Inc., stated in the press release that the company's results came slightly above its expectations, but do not reflect the company's potential. He added that the company made significant progress on its priorities to build a sustainable path to higher profitability. Mr. Schottenstein stated that the company successfully cleared its spring and summer merchandise and entered the second half of the year in a good inventory position and made progress on merchandise improvements, which will ramp up through the holiday season. He added that the company remains vigilant on expense management to achieve strategic initiatives, significant to the company's future success. Mr. Schottenstein remained confident that the company will achieve stronger operating results and deliver increasing shareholder value.
American Eagle Outfitters Inc.'s total merchandise inventories for the quarter ended August 02, 2014 declined 15% Y-o-Y to $393.31 million, from $461.08 million in the preceding year quarter. In Q2 FY14, the company's capital expenditures totaled $74 million. For FY 2014, the company continues to expect capital expenditures of approximately $230 million, while for FY15, the company expects capital spending of approximately $150 million. During Q2 FY14, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based retailer opened 20 new stores. As of August 02, 2014, the company's total cash and investments stood at $263 million compared with $405 million at the end of the prior year quarter. For Q3 FY14, the company's management expects EPS to be in the range of approximately $0.17 to $0.19, compared to adjusted earnings of $0.19 per diluted share in Q3 FY13. The company's third quarter outlook is based on a mid single-digit decline in comparable sales, and excludes potential asset impairment and restructuring charges.

Stock Market News for August 25, 2014 - Market News
9:10a ET August 25, 2014 (Zacks.com) Print
Markets ended mostly in the red on Friday as both US Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen and ECB President Mario Draghi’s speeches at Jackson Hole, Wyo failed to encourage investors. Escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine also dragged the benchmarks down. Markets also witnessed the year’s lowest intraday composite traded volume for NYSE and Nasdaq.
For a look at the issues currently facing the markets, make sure to read today’s Ahead of Wall Street article
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) declined 0.2% to close at 17,001.22. The Standard & Poor 500 (S&P 500) also decreased 0.2% to close at 1,988.40. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 4,538.55; rising 0.1%. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) declined 2.5% to settle at 11.47. A total of 4.1 billion shares were traded on Friday, lower than the five-day average of 5.1 billion. Decliners outpaced advancing stocks on the NYSE. For 60% stocks that declined, 36% advanced.
In her speech at Jackson Hole, Wyo, US Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen said the economy is approaching Fed’s target of full employment and a stable inflation rate. She said that 19 labor market indicators indicated overall improvement in the labor market.
However, she also mentioned that there is no “simple recipe” that the Fed could follow to determine whether it was achieving its targets. She did not turn down the possibility of earlier-than-anticipated rate hike if labor market conditions continue to improve and the inflation rate increased more rapidly.
On the other hand, European Central Bank president Mario Draghi also failed to provide any clear picture about weak growth in the Eurozone. At Jackson Hole, Wyo, he said the ECB is looking to implement more flexible policies in order to combat the Eurozone’s high unemployment rate. He also said fiscal policy should play a “greater role” in addition to monetary policy for economic growth. However, he blamed major economies for not implementing flexible fiscal policies. He believes that the ECB alone cannot tackle high unemployment prevailing in the Eurozone.
Reportedly, 100 Russian trucks carrying humanitarian aid have crossed the eastern border of Ukraine without the assistance of Red Cross. This sparked concerns about a Russian invasion of Ukraine. On Friday, Ukraine said Russia has initiated "direct invasion" in their territory in the name of humanitarian aid. Further, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen blamed Russia for organizing an "alarming build-up" through this operation as thousands of Russian troops are waiting near the border. He also asked Moscow to "stop destabilizing Ukraine."
In company news, shares of Ross Stores Inc. (ROST) jumped 7.4% after posting second quarter earnings per share of $1.14, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.09. Shares also rose 16% year over year. Earnings benefited from better-than-anticipated merchandise gross margins along with aggressive cost-control measures. Positive earnings from Ross Stores helped Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (XLY) to be the second biggest gainer among the S&P 500 sectors. The sector gained 0.2%.
The Gap, Inc. (GPS) reported second quarter adjusted earnings per share of 70 cents, increasing 9.4% year over year and coming in a cent higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Shares of Gap climbed 5.2% on Friday.
Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.’s (GMCR) shares soared 13.3% after announcing that the company has signed a multi-year licensing deal with Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (KRFT). The former will manufacture and distribute Kraft’s branded coffees in Keurig portion packs that are used in Keurig’s commercial brewing systems. The gains in Keurig Green Mountain helped the Nasdaq to end in the green on Friday.
Shares of Dynegy Inc. (DYN) gained 8.8% after the energy company agreed to buy 12,500 megawatts of coal and natural gas generation capacity from Duke Energy (DUK) and Energy Capital Partners for around $6.25 billion. This move will almost double its present capacity to 26,000 MW.
However, the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) was the biggest loser among the S&P 500 sectors. The sector declined 0.7% on Friday. Key energy stocks from the sector such as Chevron Corporation (CVX), Schlumberger Limited (SLB), Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) and EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) declined 0.6%, 0.4%, 1.7% and 0.9%, respectively. Out of 10 S&P 500 sectors, 6 sectors registered losses on Friday.
Over the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), Standard & Poor 500 (S&P 500) and Nasdaq Composite Index rose 2%, 1.7% and 1.7%, respectively.
Encouraging economic data especially from the housing sector and upbeat earnings results helped the markets end in the green zone for the week. News of a deal between Dollar General Corporation (DG) and Family Dollar Stores Inc. (FDO) was also welcomed by investors. However, investors remained concerned about the sooner-than-expected interest rate hike over the week. The S&P hit an all-time high on Thursday.
Economic data came in positive throughout the week. Housing data, including reports on homebuilder confidence, existing home sales and building permits were encouraging. Separately, leading indicator index numbers also encouraged investors. Upbeat earnings from companies such as Home Depot, Inc. (HD), Target Corp. (TGT) and American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO) helped to improve investor sentiment. However, markets were affected after the Fed minutes suggested differing views among the Fed officials about hiking rates sooner than anticipated.

Markets Mostly Higher Despite Initial Negative Reaction From FOMC Minutes
5:31p ET August 20, 2014 (Benzinga) Print
U.S. stocks were mostly higher as the S&P 500 and Dow continue trading near historical all time highs.
The S&P 500 briefly dipped in to negative territory immediately following the Federal Reserves's minutes while the Dow trading lower but stayed in positive territory. The Nasdaq index saw the largest decline post FOMC minutes only to recover to intra-day highs and then give back all of its gains in late afternoon.
Members of the Federal Reserve committee voted nine to one to maintain the taper and a policy of maintaining lower than normal rates. Charles Plosser, Philadelphia Fed President was the lone dissenter who believes that his peers are underplaying the improving labor market and inflation is marching towards a two percent target.
