Our strategy of creating aspirational lifestyles through compelling product collections, inspiring advertising campaigns and uplifting shopping experiences is resonating with customers across our powerful portfolio of leading brands. Fiscal 2022 was highlighted by robust organic growth in all brands and all channels of distribution with sales in Tommy Bahama, our largest brand, up 22%, Lilly Pulitzer up 13% and the Emerging Brands Group up 29%. Our performance also benefitted from Johnny Was, a fantastic brand and business we added to our portfolio in the third quarter.

• SG&A was $692 million for full-year fiscal 2022 compared to $574 million in fiscal 2021, increasing primarily due to increases in employment cost, advertising costs, variable expenses, occupancy and other expenses to support sales growth. Fiscal 2022 included SG&A associated with Johnny Was for the 19-week period, including operational SG&A of $41 million, amortization of intangible assets of $5 million and transaction and integration costs of $3 million.

• Royalties and other operating income decreased by $11 million to $22 million for the full year. This decrease was primarily driven by a $12 million gain on the sale of an unconsolidated entity in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and a $3 million gain on the sale of the Lanier Apparel distribution center in Toccoa, Georgia in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Royalties for fiscal 2022 increased in both Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer for the year.
  
• Full-year operating income was $219 million in fiscal 2022, compared to $166 million in fiscal 2021. This represents an operating margin increase of 100 bps to 15.5% on a GAAP basis. On an adjusted basis, full-year operating income increased to $234 million, or 16.6% of net sales, compared to $174 million in fiscal 2021. This represents an operating margin increase of 130 bps on an adjusted basis. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, operating income on a GAAP basis was $40 million compared to $32 million in the prior year, while adjusted operating income was $46 million in fiscal 2022 and $36 million in fiscal 2021.
  
• Interest expense was $3 million for the year and $2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Interest expense for both the full year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was less than $1 million. The increased interest expense was due to the increased debt levels as a result of the acquisition of Johnny Was.
  
• The effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 was 23% compared to 20% for fiscal 2021, both of which are lower than a typical effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was 16% compared to 20% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The effective tax rates for each period included certain favorable discrete items that are not expected to occur in future periods.
  

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Inventory increased $102 million on a LIFO basis and $106 million, or 58%, on a FIFO basis compared to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Inventory balances at January 28, 2023 represent a more normalized level after inventory levels were lower than optimal throughout fiscal 2021 when a stronger than expected rebound in consumer demand outpaced inventory purchases. Also, the inventory increase reflects: (i) $20 million of Johnny Was inventory, (ii) the early receipt of incremental inventory of approximately $25 million to mitigate risks of supply chain delays or disruptions, (iii) anticipated sales increases in fiscal 2023 and (iv) higher product costs. Compared to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, on a FIFO basis, inventory increased by 37% while sales for fiscal 2023 are expected to be 44% to 48% higher than fiscal 2019.

As of January 28, 2023, the Company had $119 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit agreement, compared to no borrowings at the end of the prior year. Also, the Company had $9 million of cash and cash equivalents versus $210 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Both the increase in debt outstanding and reduction in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were due to the acquisition of Johnny Was in fiscal 2022.

On March 6, 2023, the Company amended its revolving credit facility, which extended the maturity date from July 2024 to March 2028 and increased the spreads on the variable interest rate borrowings by approximately 25 basis points.

Dividend and Share Repurchase

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per share, which represents an 18% increase over its previous quarterly dividend rate of $0.55. The dividend is payable on April 28, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 14, 2023. The Company has paid dividends every quarter since it became publicly owned in 1960.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company completed the $100 million 10b5-1 share repurchase plan entered into in December 2021. Under this plan, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares (representing over 6% of total shares outstanding) at an average price of $90 per share. This consists of $8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and $92 million in fiscal 2022. As of January 28, 2023, the Company has $50 million remaining under its Board of Directors’ prior share repurchase authorization.

Outlook

For fiscal 2023, a 53-week year ending on February 3, 2024, the Company initiated sales and EPS guidance. The Company expects net sales in a range of $1.62 billion to $1.66 billion as compared to net sales of $1.41 billion in fiscal 2022. In fiscal 2023, GAAP EPS is expected to be between $10.86 and $11.26 compared to fiscal 2022 GAAP EPS of $10.19. Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $11.50 and $11.90, compared to fiscal 2022 adjusted EPS of $10.88.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company expects net sales to be between $405 million and $425 million compared to net sales of $353 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. GAAP EPS is expected to be in a range of $3.44 to $3.64 in the first quarter compared to GAAP EPS of $3.45 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $3.60 and $3.80 compared to adjusted EPS of $3.50 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Company anticipates higher interest expense at $5 million to $6 million, with about half that interest expense in the first quarter, as the Company expects to significantly reduce debt during the year. This compares to $3 million in the full year of 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate is expected to be between 25% and 26%.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 2023 are expected to be approximately $90 million compared to $47 million in fiscal 2022. The planned increase is primarily due to increased investment in various technology systems initiatives, the commencement of a significant multi-year project at the Company's Lyons, Georgia distribution center to enhance its direct-to-consumer throughput capabilities, increased Marlin Bar openings in Fiscal 2023, the addition of Johnny Was, which is increasing its store count by 10 or more stores this year, and increases in store openings in other brands.
