Outlook

For fiscal 2015, the Company continues to expect net sales to increase between 6% and 9%, and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.90 and $0.95. This assumes a foreign currency impact on net sales of approximately $13 million, and on diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.05, assuming prevailing exchange rates. In the event that foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate from prevailing levels, these estimates of currency impacts could be favorably or unfavorably impacted. The diluted earnings per share guidance also includes expenses incurred and realized in the first quarter of 2015 due to the cost reduction program of approximately $0.02. The Company continues to expect the cost reduction program to result in annualized savings in operating expenses of approximately $3.5 million. These estimates assume total comparable store sales growth in the low to mid-single digits, diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding of approximately 67.9 million, and an effective tax rate of 35.0%.

The Company expects to open between 20 to 22 new stores for 2015. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2015 are expected to be in the range of $35.0 million to $40.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net income before costs associated with the cost reduction program, and operating income before costs associated with the cost reduction program are non-GAAP financial measures. Net income before costs associated with the cost reduction program is defined as net income plus the costs associated with the cost reduction program. Operating income before costs associated with the cost reduction program is defined as operating income plus the costs associated with the cost reduction program. The Company also refers to growth rates at constant currency or adjusting for currency so that the business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the Company's business performance. Constant currency net sales results are calculated by translating current period net sales in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate. This consistent approach is based on the pricing currency for each country which is typically the functional currency. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates. These measures are an important supplemental measure for Tumi’s internal reporting, including for its board of directors and management, and are key measures used to evaluate profitability and operating performance. These measures provide investors and other users of Tumi’s financial information, when viewed in conjunction with its consolidated financial statements, consistency and comparability with Tumi’s past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and may facilitate comparisons with other companies. Tumi uses these metrics in conjunction with GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance. Undue reliance should not be placed on these measures as Tumi’s only measures of operating performance. Net income before costs associated with the cost reduction program should not be viewed as a substitute for net income, operating income before costs associated with the cost reduction program should not be viewed as a substitute for operating income, and constant currency net sales reporting should not be viewed as a substitute for net sales.

Comparable Store Sales Growth

Comparable store sales are calculated based on Tumi’s company-owned stores that have been open for at least a full calendar year as of the end of Tumi’s fiscal year. For example, a store opened in October 2014 will not impact the comparable store comparison until January 1, 2016. Additionally, temporary store closings, store expansions and store relocations are excluded from the comparable store base under most circumstances.
