Business Wire
Cygne Designs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYDS) today announced results of
operations for the year ended January 31, 2008. For the year ended
January 31, 2008, net sales decreased by $23.1 million, or 19.4%,
to $95.7 million compared to $118.8 million for the prior year.
This decrease in sales was mainly attributed to a decrease in sales
of our branded jeans of $21.5 million. Gross profit for the year
ended January 31, 2008 decreased to $15.9 million compared to $25.4
million for the prior year, a decrease of $9.5 million or 37.5%.
The decrease in gross profit was attributable to three factors:
$4.9 million to the decrease in sales, $2.4 million to the one-time
inventory loss, and the balance of the decrease to lower gross
margins in 2007 than 2006. As a result of the Company�s annual
assessment of its goodwill and intangible assets, the Company
recorded the impairment loss of goodwill and intangible assets of
$61.9 million primarily caused by the loss of two customers in 2007
which accounted for 49% of our 2007 sales and a substantial
decrease in demand for our branded jeans and our non-denim private
label products. The Company recorded a net loss of $63.9 million or
$2.00 loss per share on a basic and diluted share basis for the
year ended January 31, 2008 as compared to a net loss of $158,000
or $0.01 per share on a basic and diluted share basis for the prior
year. Cygne and its lender use EBITDA as a supplemental financial
measure to assess the financial performance of its assets without
regard to financing methods and capital structure. EBITDA should
not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income
and cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of
financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with
GAAP. EBITDA excludes some items that affect net income and
operating income. In the year ended January 31, 2008, the
impairment loss of goodwill and intangible assets of $61.9 million
has been included in the EBITDA reconciliation and Cygne refers to
the reconciliation as Adjusted EBITDA. Since these items may vary
among other companies, Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. A
reconciliation of the net (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is shown in the
table below. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA � Year Ended January
