Management Comments

“This has been a historic year for DXL as we exceeded $500 million in sales for the first time in our Company’s history. Furthermore, we delivered $76.9 million in adjusted EBITDA that was made possible through improvements in gross margin, a restructured lease portfolio and lower operating expenses. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was in excess of 15%, and we reported earnings of $0.83 per diluted share, which benefited from our substantial net operating loss carryforwards. We generated over $70 million in free cash flow during fiscal 2021, which enabled us to retire our long-term debt, pay off our revolver and renegotiate our credit facility on more favorable terms. I am incredibly proud of what our Company has accomplished this year for our customers and our shareholders,” said Harvey S. Kanter, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Kanter continued, “The structural changes to our business model we have implemented and the digital transformative work we have accomplished is driving our customers to engage with the DXL brand in new and meaningful ways. Our future is driven by an unrelenting passion to deliver a differentiated experience that resonates with big and tall guys everywhere and to remain focused on driving initiatives in marketing, technology and merchandising.

“We recognize that our business in fiscal 2021 benefited from many macro-level tailwinds, including emergence from pandemic restrictions, pent-up demand and fiscal stimulus policy. As we head into fiscal 2022, concerns around the current Russia Ukraine conflict, Fed Monetary Policy, record costs and inflation all present challenges. However, despite these potential headwinds, we are very excited about our plan for fiscal 2022, and are cautiously optimistic that we will continue to grow our business with robust margins. Given the record-setting year we just finished and non-comparable year-over-year elements, we are taking a thoughtful and pragmatic approach to our financial projections and are guiding to sales from $510 million to $530 million and an EBITDA margin greater than 10.0%.

Kanter concluded, “In fiscal 2022, we intend to build off the many successes we achieved last year to drive new customer acquisition, lifetime customer value through greater retention and new channels of distribution all of which will strengthen our brand and provide new opportunities for greater top-line growth. Our strong balance sheet and substantial free cash flow will allow us to withstand market volatility, invest in our business and return capital to shareholders through a stock repurchase program.”

Fourth-Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Results

In addition to referring to fiscal 2020, the following review of our fourth quarter and full-year results for fiscal 2021 also includes comparisons to our fourth quarter and full-year results for fiscal 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our results during the fourth quarter and full-year of fiscal 2020, we believe that comparisons to our results from the fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2019 are more informative.

Sales

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, total sales were $133.5 million as compared to $100.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and $131.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in total sales for the fourth quarter as compared to fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was primarily due to the increase in comparable sales which was partially offset by decreases in wholesale revenue and sales from closed stores.

As compared to fiscal 2020, comparable sales for the fourth quarter increased 41.5%, driven by a 58.4% comparable sales increase from stores and a 17.8% increase in the direct business. As compared to fiscal 2019, comparable sales for the fourth quarter were up 9.4%, with our direct business up 33.1% and our stores flat. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, our comparable sales, when compared to the same periods in fiscal 2019, increased by 17.4% in November and 7.8% in December, reflecting an earlier shopping season as customers responded to concerns around global supply chain issues and product availability, and slowed to 1.8% in January, as the Omicron variant impacted shopping behavior. We were also less promotional in the 2021 holiday season as compared to previous years, which impacted sales but strengthened margins. Regionally, our southeast and south central stores were our strongest performers in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, consistent with the trend we saw throughout much of fiscal 2021.

For fiscal 2021, total sales increased 58.3% to $505.0 million from $318.9 million for fiscal 2020 and increased 6.5% from $474.0 million in fiscal 2019. As compared to fiscal 2020, comparable sales increased 68.5%, with stores up 98.1% and the direct business up 25.4%. As compared to fiscal 2019, comparable sales increased 14.2%, primarily due to a comparable sales increase in the direct business of 44.0% and an increase in stores of 4.8%.

For fiscal 2021, wholesale revenues were $5.4 million as compared to $16.6 million in fiscal 2020 and $12.5 million in fiscal 2019. While a significant portion of our wholesale revenues in fiscal 2020 were due to the sale of masks, our wholesale business was driven primarily by our relationship with Amazon. Based on several factors, including low margins, volatility in the global supply chain, increasing lead times and the shifting dynamics of the business, the Company and Amazon have agreed to end the wholesale relationship.

Gross Margin

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, gross margin, inclusive of occupancy costs, was 49.8%, compared with a gross margin of 39.0% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and a gross margin of 43.0% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. For fiscal 2021, gross margin, inclusive of occupancy costs, was 49.5%, compared to 32.9% for fiscal 2020 and 43.1% for fiscal 2019.

As compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, our gross margin rate for the fourth quarter improved by 680 basis points, driven by a 410 basis point improvement in merchandise margins and a 270 basis point improvement in occupancy costs. On a dollar basis, our occupancy costs decreased by $3.3 million, as a result of our lease renegotiations as well as closed stores.

For the full year, our gross margin rate improved by 640 basis points as compared to fiscal 2019, driven by a 300 basis point improvement in merchandise margins and a 340 basis point improvement in occupancy costs. As a result of our lease renegotiations as well as closed stores, on a dollar basis, occupancy costs for fiscal 2021 decreased by approximately $12.5 million, or 17.7%, as compared to fiscal 2019.

The improvement in merchandise margin for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 was primarily driven by our low promotional strategy and low clearance levels. Partially offsetting the savings from the reduction in markdowns was the continuing increase in the cost of freight due to shortages of vessels for overseas product, port congestion and labor shortages of truck drivers. For the full year, we estimate that the supply chain disruptions negatively impacted gross margin by approximately 84 basis points, and we expect that we will continue to experience cost increases related to these supply chain issues as well as due to the increase in the cost of certain raw materials, particularly cotton, throughout fiscal 2022.

Selling, General & Administrative

SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were 39.0% of sales, compared with 38.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and 35.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

On a dollar basis, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, SG&A expense increased by $5.6 million. The increase was primarily due to increased incentive-based accruals, reinstating a 401(k) profit sharing contribution and an increase in marketing costs, due to timing. These increases were partially offset by the realized cost-savings implemented in fiscal 2020, which included a reduction in corporate headcount, professional services and the elimination of certain service agreements.

For fiscal 2021, SG&A expenses were 34.2% of sales, compared to 40.5% in fiscal 2020 and 38.1% in fiscal 2019.

On a dollar basis, compared to fiscal 2019, SG&A expense for fiscal 2021 decreased $7.7 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the year were primarily due to the cost-savings initiatives and reductions in payroll and payroll-related costs. These costs were partially offset by an increase in incentive-based accruals and an increase in 401(k) expense.

Management views SG&A expenses through two primary cost centers: Customer Facing Costs and Corporate Support Costs. Customer Facing Costs, which include store payroll, marketing and other store operating costs, represented 19.1% of sales for fiscal 2021, compared to 20.2% of sales for fiscal 2020 and 22.6% of sales for fiscal 2019. Corporate Support Costs, which include the distribution center and corporate overhead costs, represented 15.1% of sales, compared to 20.3% of sales for fiscal 2020 and 15.5% of sales for fiscal 2019.

Impairment of Assets

Asset impairment charges primarily represent the write-down of operating lease right-of-use assets, where the carrying value exceeds fair value, and the write-down store fixed assets. In addition, any subsequent gains recognized in connection with a store closure related to a previously recorded operating lease right-of-use asset impairment will be included as an offset to impairment charges, with the remainder of the gain included as a reduction in store occupancy costs.

For the fourth quarter and fiscal year fiscal 2021, the Company recorded non-cash gains of $0.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, on the reduction of its operating lease liability in connection with its decision to close certain retail stores, which resulted in a revaluation of the lease liability. Of the total non-cash gains, $0.2 million and $2.3 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021, respectively, related to leases where the right-of-use assets had previously been impaired, and therefore, were recorded as a reduction of the previously recorded impairment. The remaining gain of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021, respectively, was recorded as a reduction to occupancy costs in each period.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $9.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 of $(5.1) million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, and net income of $2.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Net income for fiscal 2021 was $56.7 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss for fiscal 2020 of $(64.5) million, or $(1.26) per diluted share, and a net loss of $(7.8) million, or $(0.16) per diluted share, in fiscal 2019. Our significant net operating loss carryforwards minimized our cash tax payments and made this income substantially tax-free.

Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for asset impairments, exit costs associated with London operations and CEO transition costs (adjusted EBITDA), a non-GAAP measure, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $14.3 million as compared to $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and $9.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. For fiscal 2021, adjusted EBITDA was $76.9 million, as compared to $(24.2) million for fiscal 2020 and $23.5 million for fiscal 2019.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operations for fiscal 2021 was $75.5 million as compared to $(1.2) million for fiscal 2020 and $15.8 million for fiscal 2019. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 were $5.3 million, as compared to $4.2 million for fiscal 2020 and $13.4 million for fiscal 2019. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $70.3 million as compared to $(5.5) million in fiscal 2020 and $2.4 million in 2019. The improvement in free cash flows was the result of the improvement in earnings, as well as faster inventory turnover.

(in millions)		Fiscal 2021				Fiscal 2020				Fiscal 2019
Cash flow from operating activities (GAAP)		$	75.5			$	(1.2	)		$	15.8
Capital expenditures			(5.3	)			(4.2	)			(13.4	)
Free cash flow (non-GAAP)		$	70.3			$	(5.5	)		$	2.4

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “Non-GAAP Measures” below and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures that follow in the tables below.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

At January 29, 2022, we had a cash balance of $15.5 million, with no outstanding debt and excess availability under our credit facility of $68.9 million. This compares to total debt outstanding, net of cash, of $55.4 million and remaining availability under the credit facility of $11.5 million at January 30, 2021 and total debt outstanding, net of cash, of $49.8 million and remaining availability under the credit facility of $48.5 million at February 1, 2020.

Inventory was $81.8 million at January 29, 2022, as compared to $85.0 million at January 30, 2021 and $102.4 million at February 1, 2020. Maintaining sufficient inventory levels, given the ongoing supply chain disruptions, remains a primary focus. We believe that we have secured sufficient inventory to support our current sales forecast. We are continuing to manage our inventory conservatively, narrowing our assortments and increasing exclusivity with our national brands. As a result, we were able to increase our inventory turnover to over 2.0 times as compared to historical turnover of approximately 1.5 times. At January 29, 2022, our inventory was current, with clearance inventory representing only 6.0%, as compared to 10.4% at January 30, 2021 and 10.0% at February 1, 2020.

Store Information

During fiscal 2021, the Company closed 21 stores. There were no new or rebranded stores during fiscal 2021.

We believe that our store portfolio is a vital asset to our omni-channel business strategy. We are actively reviewing opportunities to relocate or convert Casual Male XL stores to DXL, and we are reviewing white space opportunities in markets where our store footprint is underpenetrated. We expect to continue to invest in stores over the next several years as we further strengthen the store portfolio.

E-Commerce Information

The Company distributes its licensed branded and private label products directly to consumers through its stores, website and third-party marketplaces. E-commerce sales, which we also refer to as direct sales, are defined as sales that originate online, whether through our website, at the store level or through a third-party marketplace. Our direct business is a critical component of our business and an area of signification growth opportunity, as we continue to see our customers migrate to online shopping. Through fiscal 2021, we continued to see quarter-to-quarter growth in our direct business, even as customers returned to our stores. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, our direct sales increased by $12.2 million to 35.2% of retail segment sales as compared to 27.4% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. For the year, our direct sales increased $48.3 million to 31.0% of retail segment sales as compared to 23.1% for fiscal 2019.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to $15.0 million of its common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions.

The timing and the amount of any repurchases of common stock will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program is expected to commence in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and will expire on March 15, 2023. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The Company expects to finance the repurchases from operating funds and/or periodic borrowings on its credit facility. Any repurchased common stock will be held as treasury stock.

Financial Outlook

We experienced a remarkable recovery and growth in sales for fiscal 2021. We expect to grow our top line in fiscal 2022, but we also recognize that our business benefited from some level of pent-up demand and fiscal stimulus policy last year. In addition, the continuing uncertainty with respect to global supply chain disruptions, inflation, labor shortages, COVID-19 and geopolitical instability from the Russian invasion of Ukraine may impact our business in fiscal 2022. In light of this uncertainty and given the record-setting year we just finished and non-comparable year-over-year elements, we are taking a thoughtful and pragmatic approach to our financial projections and are guiding to sales from $510 million to $530 million and an EBITDA margin greater than 10.0%.

Conference Call

The Company will hold a conference call to review its financial results today, Thursday, March 17, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. ET. To listen to the live webcast, visit the "Investor Relations" section of the Company's website. The live call also can be accessed by dialing: (866) 680-2311. Please reference conference ID: 8988169. An archived version of the webcast may be accessed by visiting the "Events" section of the Company's website for up to one year.

During the conference call, the Company may discuss and answer questions concerning business and financial developments and trends. The Company’s responses to questions, as well as other matters discussed during the conference call, may contain or constitute information that has not been disclosed previously.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow and makes projections about EBITDA margin. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net income (loss), net income (loss) per diluted share or cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, the non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The Company believes the inclusion of these non-GAAP measures help investors gain a better understanding of the Company’s performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods, and that they are useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the Company's operating results, when reviewed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial statements. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables below. The Company has not reconciled forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin contained in this press release to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as such reconciliation would require unreasonable efforts at this time to estimate and quantify with a reasonable degree of certainty various necessary GAAP components, including for example those related to impairment and tax items, that may arise during the year. These components and other factors could materially impact the amount of the future directly comparable GAAP measure, which may differ significantly from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding exit costs related to our London operations, CEO transition costs and any asset impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. The Company believes that providing adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin is useful to investors to evaluate the Company's performance and are key metrics to measure profitability and economic productivity.

Free cash flow is a metric that management uses to monitor liquidity. Management believes this metric is important to investors because it demonstrates the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity while supporting its capital projects and new store growth. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures and excludes the mandatory and discretionary repayment of debt.
