Management’s Comments
"Despite this challenging quarter, we remain disciplined and committed to the strategy and initiatives of which we have spoken previously. Since we repositioned DXL in fiscal 2019, we have grown comparable sales by more than 25% and more than doubled our Adjusted EBITDA margin rate. This trajectory supports our strong belief in the longer-term opportunity for DXL in the men’s big & tall apparel category. This belief in our future is emboldened by our strong financial position. We have no debt and $60 million of cash, and over $150 million of stockholders' equity, which provides a greater opportunity to invest and drive our strategic initiatives, which include opening productive new stores, deploying a new web platform, launching a brand awareness campaign, and pursuing greater exclusive merchandise collaborations and alliances,” said Harvey Kanter, President, and Chief Executive Officer.
"As we look forward to fiscal 2024, we need to drive share of voice, build greater awareness, and generate trial. We know if consumers experience DXL, given our conversion, repeat rates, Lifetime Value, and net promoter scores, we will win and grow market share. That being said, we will be both pragmatic and thoughtful about the investments we make in the context of market challenges. We will determine appropriate investment levels as the landscape becomes clearer. We remain incredibly enthusiastic about our prospects and the opportunity to serve a big & tall consumer who needs and wants something better than any other retailer has to offer,” Kanter concluded.
Our Future Growth Strategy
We believe we can capture a greater share of what we estimate is a $23.0 billion total addressable market in the domestic men’s big & tall apparel category. Since 2019, we have further strengthened and fortified our balance sheet which gives us the financial flexibility to execute our plans. We remain relentlessly focused on controlling what we can control, which includes a commitment to meaningfully accelerate the growth trajectory of the company by focusing on four specific growth objectives:
Store Development: We opened our first new DXL store since 2018 in Queens, NY. We expect to open two more stores by the end of 2023 and ten more stores in 2024. We have converted seven Casual Males stores to DXL this year and expect to convert three more by the end of 2023. Over the next three to five years, we believe we could potentially open 50 net new stores across the country.
Website Replatform: We are upgrading our website from legacy infrastructure to a modern commerce platform, with features and functionality launching throughout 2024. We believe this modernization will offer immediate performance improvements and customer experience benefits, while positioning us to deliver a greater pace of change in the future.
Marketing & Brand Building: We have begun our search for a creative agency to develop, build, and execute a campaign that will drive an emotional connection to the brand and drive brand awareness. We are targeting a campaign launch for late Spring 2024 and we are prepared to conservatively spend another 1.0% to 2.0% of sales to initially fund that initiative and, with results, fund our marketing and brand building initiatives at greater levels over time.
Alliances & Collaborations: We launched a new collaboration with UNTUCKit and added two more iconic brands to our assortment with Faherty and Hugo Boss in the third quarter. All three programs have exceeded our initial expectations and we will look for door expansions in all three for 2024.
Third Quarter Results
Sales
Total sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $119.2 million, as compared to $129.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Comparable sales for the third quarter decreased 6.7% with comparable sales from our stores down 8.1% and our direct business down 3.2%. The remainder of the decrease was due to sales from closed stores and a decrease in non-comparable sales.
During the third quarter, we saw a further slowdown in store traffic and dollars per transaction as consumer spending continued to be negatively impacted by the economy and inflationary pressures. Sales were particularly softer in categories that outperformed last year due to a resurgence of back-to-work and social events. The decrease of 3.2% in the direct business was primarily due to a decrease in marketplace sales. The DXL website, which was down 1.5%, performed better as a result of improvements in email marketing and growth from our mobile app.
Gross Margin
For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, our gross margin rate, inclusive of occupancy costs, was 47.5% as compared to a gross margin rate of 50.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Our gross margin rate decreased by 250-basis points, with a decrease in merchandise margin of 110-basis points and an increase of 140-basis points in occupancy costs primarily due to the deleveraging of sales and increased rents as a result of lease extensions. The decrease in merchandise margin of 110-basis points was due to continued cost pressures on certain private-label merchandise, much of which we continued to absorb rather than passing on to the customer through price increases. We also experienced increased shipping costs related to direct-to-consumer shipments and costs related to our loyalty program with more sales tendered with loyalty certificates, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. These cost increases were partially offset by lower inbound freight costs. For the year, we expect gross margin rates to be approximately 180-basis points lower than fiscal 2022, of which approximately half of this decrease being attributable to the expected deleveraging of occupancy costs on the lower sales base.
Selling, General & Administrative
As a percentage of sales, SG&A (selling, general and administrative) expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were 40.2% as compared to 37.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
On a dollar basis, SG&A expenses decreased by $0.4 million as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in store payroll and performance-based incentive accruals, partially offset by an increase in payroll-related costs from new positions added in the past year to support our long-range growth initiatives.
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 and direct operating costs, represented 22.5% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to 21.6% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Corporate Support Costs, which include the distribution center and corporate overhead costs, represented 17.7% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to 15.7% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Marketing costs were 6.3% of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to 5.9% of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. For fiscal 2023, marketing costs are expected to be approximately 5.7% of sales.
Loss from Termination of SERP Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company terminated its frozen Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"), taking advantage of the current high-interest rate environment. We completed the termination in the third quarter through the purchase of an annuity. We made a cash contribution to the plan in the third quarter of $0.4 million and recognized a charge of $0.1 million, representing the loss on settlement.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Net interest income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $0.6 million, as compared to interest expense of $0.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, interest income was earned from investments in U.S. government-backed investments and money market accounts. Interest costs for both periods were minimal because we had no outstanding debt and no borrowings under our credit facility during either period.
Income Taxes
As a result of releasing substantially all of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during fiscal 2022, we have returned to a normal tax provision for fiscal 2023. Our tax provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate and make a year-to-date adjustment to the provision.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the effective tax rate was 30.2%. For the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the effective tax rate was 16.6% and primarily reflected a $2.0 million discrete tax expense to adjust the release of valuation allowance.
Net Income
For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, net income was $4.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, as compared to net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of $10.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.
On a non-GAAP basis, assuming a normalized tax rate of 27% and adjusting for the loss on termination of the retirement plans and asset impairment (gain), if any, adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, as compared to $9.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $8.6 million, as compared to $16.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Cash Flow
Cash flow from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $33.1 million as compared to $30.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $22.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to $22.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to a decrease in merchandise purchases as we continue to drive more productive inventory utilization partially offset by a decrease in operating income.
We expect our capital expenditures to range from $15.5 million to $17.5 million in fiscal 2023, of which approximately $7.8 million is discretionary spending for new or improved stores with the remaining for non-discretionary, infrastructure improvements.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity
As of October 28, 2023, we had cash and investments of $60.4 million as compared to $23.5 million as of October 29, 2022, with no outstanding debt in either period. We did not have any borrowings under our credit facility during the third quarter and, as of October 28, 2023, the availability under our credit facility was $87.6 million, as compared to $90.2 million as of October 29, 2022.
As of October 28, 2023, our inventory decreased approximately $7.0 million to $99.9 million, as compared to $106.8 million as of October 29, 2022. Based on the sales trends we started to see in March 2023, we began taking proactive measures to manage our inventory and adjust our receipt plan. At October 28, 2023, our clearance inventory was 9.7% of our total inventory, as compared to 6.7% at October 29, 2022 and still below our historical benchmark of approximately 10.0%.
Stock Repurchase Program
In March 2023, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. Under the stock repurchase program, we were initially authorized to repurchase up to $15.0 million of our common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions. On November 15, 2023, our Board amended the program, effective today, to increase the authorization from $15.0 million to $25.0 million.
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 will expire on March 16, 2024, but may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The Company expects to finance any repurchases from cash generated from operations.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, we completed the stock repurchase plan with the repurchase of 3.1 million shares at an aggregate cost, including fees, of $14.9 million, or an average cost of $4.81 per share. Shares of repurchased common stock are held as treasury stock.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we opened a new DXL store in Queens, New York and expect to open two additional new stores with one in the Cincinnati market and one in the Los Angeles market by the end of fiscal 2023. During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, we completed the conversion of seven Casual Male stores to the DXL store format and completed the remodel of one existing DXL store. By the end of fiscal 2023, we expect to have opened a total of 3 new DXL stores and 10 Casual Male-to-DXL conversion stores and to have begun construction on at least 5 DXL remodels. Over the next three to five years, we believe we could potentially open 50 net new DXL stores across the country, which could average 6,000 square feet or 300,000 sq. ft. in total, a 15% increase over our current square footage.
Digital Commerce Information
We distribute our national brands and own brand merchandise directly to consumers through our stores, website, app, and third-party marketplaces. Digital 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 significant growth opportunity for us. For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, our direct sales were $36.2 million, or 30.4% of retail segment sales, as compared to $37.9 million, or 29.2% of retail segment sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Financial Outlook
Based on our results for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and given the persisting economic pressures that are impacting consumer spending, we are revising our full year guidance. For fiscal 2023, we expect sales to be approximately $520.0 million to $530.0 million, net income to be approximately $0.39 to $0.46 per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 10.0% to 11.0%. Adjusting for the expected loss on the termination of the retirement plans, we expect adjusted net income to be approximately $0.45 to $0.52 per diluted share.

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 net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow. 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, net income 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.
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated by excluding any asset impairment charge (gain) and the loss from the termination of the retirement plans, subtracting the actual income tax provision (benefit) and applying an effective tax rate of 27%. The Company believes that this comparability is useful in comparing the actual results period to period. Adjusted net income per diluted share is then calculated by dividing the adjusted net income by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective period, on a diluted basis.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted for the loss from the termination of the retirement plans and asset impairment charge (gain), if any. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total 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 strengthen 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.
