1. | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tiffany
& Co. and all majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the Company). Intercompany
accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim
statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (which
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Companys
financial position as of October 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data
for January 31, 2007 is derived from the audited financial statements, which are included in
the Companys Report on Form 10-K and should be read in connection with these financial
statements. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, these
financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. |
||
The Companys business is seasonal, with a higher proportion of sales and earnings generated
in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and, therefore, the results of its operations for
the three and nine months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of
the results of the entire fiscal year. |
||
2. | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which establishes
a framework for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of
SFAS No. 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value,
and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the
effect that the adoption of this Statement will have on the Companys financial position and
earnings. |
||
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 which clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions by prescribing a more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to
retained earnings at the beginning of the year. The Company has adopted FIN No. 48 as of
February 1, 2007 which resulted in a charge of $4,299,000 to retained earnings as a
cumulative effect of an accounting change (see Note 5). |
||
3. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
|
Management concluded that Little Switzerland, Inc.s (Little Switzerland) operations did
not demonstrate the potential to generate a return on investment consistent with
managements objectives and therefore, during the second quarter of 2007 the Companys Board
of Directors authorized the sale of Little Switzerland. On July 31, 2007, the Company
entered into an agreement with NXP Corporation (NXP) by which NXP would purchase 100% of
the stock of Little Switzerland. The transaction closed on September 18, 2007 for net
proceeds of $32,870,000 which excludes payments for existing trade payables owed to the
Company by Little Switzerland. The purchase price is subject to customary post-closing
adjustments. The Company has agreed to continue to distribute TIFFANY & CO. merchandise
through TIFFANY & CO. boutiques maintained in certain LITTLE SWITZERLAND stores
post-closing. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide warehousing services to Little
Switzerland for a transition period. |
||
The Company determined that the continuing cash flows from Little Switzerland operations
were not significant. Therefore, the results of Little Switzerland are presented as a
discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Prior to the reclassification, Little Switzerlands results had been included within the
non-reportable segment Other. |
7
3. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (continued) |
|
Little Switzerlands loss before income taxes in the nine months ended October 31, 2007
includes a $54,260,000 pre-tax charge ($22,602,000 after-tax) due to the sale of Little
Switzerland. The tax benefit recorded in connection with the charge included the effect of
basis differences in the investment in Little Switzerland. |

5. | INCOME TAXES |
|
The Company adopted FIN No. 48 on February 1, 2007. As a result, the Company recorded a
non-cash cumulative transition charge of $4,299,000 as a reduction to the opening retained
earnings balance. As of February 1, 2007, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was
approximately $40,000,000, including interest and penalties of approximately $8,000,000. As
of that date, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have
affected the effective tax rate was approximately $22,500,000. The Company recognizes
interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax
expense. |
||
During the nine months ended October 31, 2007, the unrecognized tax benefits were reduced by
approximately $5,000,000 to approximately $35,000,000. Accrued interest and penalties during the nine months ended October 31, 2007 was
reduced by approximately $5,500,000 to approximately $2,500,000. As of that date, the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have affected the effective tax rate
was approximately $12,600,000. |
||
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as various
state and foreign locations. As a matter of course, various taxing authorities regularly
audit the Company. The Companys tax filings are currently being examined by tax authorities
in jurisdictions where its subsidiaries have a material presence, including Japan (tax years
2003-2005) and New York City (tax years 2002-2004). Tax years from 2005-present are open to
examination in the U.S. and tax years 2003-present are open to examination in various other
state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company believes that its tax positions comply
with applicable tax law and that it has adequately provided for these matters. However, the
audits may result in proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution may result in the
Company owing additional taxes. Ongoing audits are in various stages of completion and while
the Company does not anticipate any material changes in unrecognized income tax benefits
over the next 12 months, future developments in the audit process may result in a change in
this assessment. |

6. | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
|
Basic earnings per share is computed as net earnings divided by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the
dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock
units. |
||
The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for the
basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations: |

|
For the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, there were 342,000 and 6,099,000 stock
options and restricted stock units excluded from the computations of earnings per diluted
share due to their antidilutive effect. For the nine months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006,
there were 392,000 and 4,706,000 stock options and restricted stock units excluded from the
computations of earnings per diluted share due to their antidilutive effect. |
||
7. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
|
In August 2007, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement for the land and
building housing the TIFFANY & CO. Flagship store in Tokyos Ginza shopping district. The
Company is leasing back only that portion of the property that it occupied immediately prior to the transaction. In the
third quarter of 2007, the Company received proceeds of $327,537,000 (¥38,050,000,000) and
the transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $105,051,000 and a
deferred gain of $75,244,000, which will be amortized in selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses over a 15-year period. The pre-tax gain represents the profit on the sale of the
property in excess of the present value of the minimum lease payments. The lease will be
accounted for as an operating lease. The lease expires in 2032; however, the Company has
options to terminate the lease in 2022 and 2027 without penalty. |
||
In October 2007, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement for the building
housing the TIFFANY & CO. Flagship store in London. The Company sold the building for
proceeds of $148,628,000 (£73,000,000) and simultaneously entered into a 15-year lease with
two 10-year renewal options. The transaction resulted in a deferred gain of $63,961,000,
which will be amortized in SG&A expenses over a 15-year period. The lease will be accounted
for as an operating lease. |
||
The Company is party to a credit facility and working capital loan commitment (the
Commitment) to Tahera Diamond Corporation (Tahera), a Canadian diamond mining and
exploration company. In consideration of the Commitment, the Company was granted the right
to purchase or market all diamonds mined at the Jericho mine. This mine has been developed
and constructed by Tahera in Nunavut, Canada (the Project). Indebtedness under the
Commitment is secured by certain assets of the Project. In September 2007, the Company
amended the Commitment to defer the start of principal and interest payments until December
2007. As a result, the Company ceased recording interest income on the Commitment as of the
third quarter 2007, since there is uncertainty as to the timing of collection. In September
2007, Tahera recorded an asset impairment charge against the assets of the Project. The
estimated fair market value of the Projects assets (based on discounted cash flows) is
greater than the amount outstanding under the Commitment and therefore, management believes
that the CDN$48,489,000 (U.S. $50,859,000) receivable from Tahera is not impaired. However,
future developments at the Project, including changes in the cost of supplies or in the
realizable price of diamonds, may affect the fair value of the Projects assets and the
collectibility of funds borrowed under the Commitment. |

9. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
|
The Companys reportable segments are: U.S. Retail, International Retail and Direct
Marketing. These reportable segments represent channels of distribution that offer similar
merchandise and service and have similar marketing and distribution strategies. The Other
channel of distribution includes all non-reportable segments which consist of worldwide
sales of businesses operated under trademarks or tradenames other than TIFFANY & CO. Sales in the Other channel
primarily represents wholesale sales of diamonds obtained through bulk purchases that are
subsequently deemed not suitable for the Companys needs. In deciding how to allocate
resources and assess performance, the Companys Executive Officers regularly evaluate the
performance of its reportable segments on the basis of net sales and earnings from
operations, after the elimination of inter-segment sales and transfers. |
||
Reclassifications were made to the prior years segment amounts to conform to the current
year presentation and to reflect the revised manner in which management evaluates the
performance of segments. Effective with the first quarter of 2007, the Company revised
certain allocations of operating expenses between unallocated corporate expenses and
earnings (losses) from continuing operations for segments. |
||
Certain information relating to the Companys segments is set forth below: |
