Vera Bradley 4Q Profit Falls 18% On Taxes But Results Beat Views

03/15 04:22 PM

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

Vera Bradley Inc.'s (VRA:$33.61,00$-0.25,00-0.74%) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell 18% on a much bigger tax bite, but the handbag maker's results nevertheless bested Wall Street estimates.

Shares were up 7.8% at $36.24 in after-hours trading Tuesday.

Through the close, the stock has more than doubled in value since it went public in October, when it priced at the high end of its expected range.

The company--which designs and sells women's accessories like handbags, wallets and duffle bags for travel--in the latest period saw its direct sales eclipse its previously dominant revenue stream, sales at other retailers like Barnes & Noble Inc. (BKS:$10.1100,$-0.5600,-5.25%) and Hallmark stores.

Vera Bradley (VRA:$33.61,00$-0.25,00-0.74%) has been aiming to expand its direct sales base, which includes its namesake stores and website.

Its results were strong in 2010, but when the economy was weaker, so was Vera Bradley's (VRA:$33.61,00$-0.25,00-0.74%) revenue:

The company saw sales decline 15% in the year ended January 2009, when discretionary products were a tougher sell.

For the quarter ended Jan. 29, Vera Bradley (VRA:$33.61,00$-0.25,00-0.74%) posted a profit of $14.2 million, or 35 cents a share, compared with $17.3 million, or 49 cents a share, a year earlier.

Adjusting the bottom line to assume a combined federal, state, and local effective tax rate of 40%, earnings rose to 39 cents a share from 30 cents.

Revenue increased 29% to $109.4 million.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters predicted earnings of 27 cents a share on revenue of $96 million.

Same-store sales increased 22%. Indirect sales, those made by independent retailers, were up 6%, while its direct sales surged 61%.

Gross margin rose to 56.5% from 55.3%.

A number of POSITIVE analyst notes this morning ~~ l@@kin' gewd!!

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=57192680

VRA ~ well, I think we know where the resistance is now!

VRA another strong day working ---- and, we're just going into the holiday season too !

Any idea why the big spike today? This is still a WILD stock. I can't complain when I am up over 28% . . . I still wonder where it will level off at.

Go VRA

Nice little blip up today --- maybe we can sustain the gains through holiday season !

Several large retailers have announced in recent weeks that they will be adding staff for the holidays.

Macy's Inc. (M:$25.59,00$0.0300,0.12%) is adding 65,000 seasonal employees nationwide to stores, call centers and distribution centers. Kohl's Corp. (KSS:$53.1200,$1.2000,2.31%) will hire over 40,000 seasonal staffers, a more than 20% increase from last year, which equates to about 35 additional workers in each store. Toys "R" Us is adding 10,000 seasonal employees to the 35,000 it hired last year.

Even Blockbuster Inc. (BLOAQ:$0.0480,$0.0010,2.13%) , which is operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, announced its plans to hire around 4,000 seasonal employees in the U.S. for the holiday season.

Macy's (M:$25.59,00$0.0300,0.12%) said the company's hiring plans are a slight increase over the previous years, "reflecting the company's expectations for same-store sales in the second half of fiscal 2010 to be up by 3 to 3.5%."

Chief Executive Terry Lundgren said Macy's (M:$25.59,00$0.0300,0.12%) is ramping "up our workforce starting now and running through December" to ensure customers are well-served during the busiest shopping season of the year.

And you are already making money on it! :) I am up over 23% . . still haven't figured out if I am holding long term or selling for a flip.

Order filled yesterday @ 26.97 ~~~ I'm now a bag owner!

Yeah, I have a feeling this will hang around at these levels until the Christmas rush on merchandise. Announcment that more stores are opening will help this also.

Well, stuck a dirtbag bid in @ $27.00 ~~~ not much wiggle room to either side since IPO launch !

Looks like more shares being sold by the company, see what it does to stock price tomorrow:
