Enesco Group, Inc. (NYSE:ENC), a leader in the giftware, and home
and garden decor industries, today announced financial results for
the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. Second Quarter 2005 Summary
-- Revenue decreased to $49.2 million compared to $61.7 million in
2Q 2004 primarily due to the continued sales decline in
collectibles and the planned shift to the third quarter for
procurement and ship dates for seasonal products. -- Gross margin
decreased by $16.0 million primarily due to the sales volume
decline, the $7.7 million non-cash loss on the Precious Moments
license termination, and increased closeout sales. -- SG&A
expenses increased by $3.4 million to $32.5 million primarily due
to the accelerated depreciation of the Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system, bank penalty fees associated with our current lender
and SG&A expenses of Dartington Crystal, acquired in July 2004.
-- Net loss increased by $20.9 million to $22.0 million, $1.50 per
diluted share, primarily due to reduction in gross margin, higher
SG&A expenses, and higher interest and tax expense. Commenting
on second quarter results, Cynthia Passmore-McLaughlin, President
and CEO, stated, "Our performance was impacted by the Company's
initiatives to fix our operating model and improve cash flow.
During the second quarter, we terminated the Precious Moments
license agreement, further reducing our dependence on collectibles.
We also converted our warehouse management and distribution system
to an upgraded version of our legacy I.T. system and stabilized the
remaining portions of our current ERP system that relate to order
management and financials. Lastly, we reduced salary costs and
headcount in the U.S. and U.K. Our revenues were lower on a
year-over-year basis due to the planned shift primarily to the
third quarter of our ordering and shipping of seasonal and
Christmas products, and the continued softness of the collectible
product category. While our top line was impacted this quarter, we
expect to improve our cash flow by now handling our seasonal
products on a 'make to order' basis and spreading the shipments to
retailers and payments to our vendors from June through October."
More detailed information is set forth in Enesco's Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which was filed August 9, 2005.
