Comments:
Last year was a “challenging year” financially, according to E. Scott Beattie, company chairman, president and chief executive officer, but the company is hoping to turn things around with its centennial celebration in 2010.
Net sales for the year fell 6.2% to just over $1 billion. Still, Beattie insisted that much was accomplished during the year.
“ Our global efficiency re-engineering initiative allowed us to improve gross margins, reduce inventories by $90 million year over year and generate cash flow from operations of $37 million,” he said.
Beattie also insisted that brand innovation remained strong. He pointed out that Pretty Elizabeth Arden was the No. 2 woman’s fragrance launch through June 2009 in the U.S. and is doing well internationally. Furthermore, Viva la Juicy was the No. 1 U.S. launch last fall and contributed to the continued global expansion and success of the Juicy Couture fragrance franchise.
These launches proved fruitful, as third quarter 2010 net sales, which ended March 31, rose 6.7% to $217 million. For the nine months ended March 31, the company reported a 2.1% gain in net sales to $875.5 million.
The company recently announced two new partnerships in its fragrance department with a fashionable twist. In March, Elizabeth Arden entered into an exclusive long-term global licensing agreement with Kate Spade New York. A debut fragrance is planned to launch in the fall of 2010. In April, the company also entered into an exclusive global licensing agreement for John Varvatos men’s and women's fragrances—previously owned by Shiseido. The products are currently sold primarily in U.S. prestige department stores and in select markets internationally.
