AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 2, 2000 (unaudited) (amounts in thousands) NOTE 1 - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K. NOTE 2 - The results of operations for the nine-month period ended December 2, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 3 - During the nine months ended December 2, 2000, the Company changed its presentation of markdowns and promotional allowances from a selling expense to a reduction of sales in an effort to be consistent with industry-wide reporting practices. In addition, the reserve for markdowns and promotional allowances has been reclassified from accrued expenses to a reduction of accounts receivable. Previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. This change in presentation has no impact on operating profit, earnings before provision for income taxes or net earnings. NOTE 4 - The Company utilized the last-in, first-out "LIFO" method for certain wholesale inventories as at December 2, 2000 and March 4, 2000 and for the nine and three month periods ended December 2, 2000 and November 27, 1999. The "LIFO" inventory for the nine month periods ended December 2, 2000 and November 27, 1999 are based upon end of year estimates. Inventories at December 2, 2000 and March 4, 2000 consist primarily of finished goods. NOTE 5 - The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources, as follows: Nine Nine Three Three Months Months Months Months Ended Ended Ended Ended December 2, November 27, December 2, November 27, 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ ----------- ------------ Net earnings 33,021 $36,095 $16,515 $17,707 Changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities, net of tax - (205) - (39) ------- ------------ ----------- ------------ Comprehensive income 33,021 $35,890 $16,515 $17,668 ============ ============ =========== ============ - 5 - 7 NAUTICA ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) DECEMBER 2, 2000 (unaudited) (amounts in thousands, except share data) NOTE 6 - Short-term investments consist primarily of government and agency bonds, tax exempt municipal bonds and corporate bonds. These marketable securities are classified as trading and are adjusted to market value at the end of each accounting period. Unrealized market gains and losses are included in earnings. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific identification basis, and are included in earnings. For the nine months ended December 2, 2000 and November 27, 1999, gross realized gains totaled $243 and $21 and gross realized losses totaled $49 and $252, respectively. For the three months ended December 2, 2000 and November 27, 1999, gross realized gains totaled $206 and $0 and gross realized losses totaled $0 and $13, respectively. The unrealized net gains which were included in earnings were $4 as of December 2, 2000 and the unrealized net losses which were included in earnings were $470 as of March 4, 2000. NOTE 7 - Basic net earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net earnings per share reflects the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the potential dilutive effect of options which are convertible into common shares. Options which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, would be antidilutive, were 2,357,700 and 2,395,000 during the nine months ended December 2, 2000 and November 27,1999, respectively. NOTE 8 - The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which established reporting and disclosure standards for an enterprise's operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company's senior management. The Company has the following two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. The Wholesale segment designs, markets, sources and distributes sportswear, activewear, outerwear, a jeans collection, a tailored clothing collection, robes and sleepwear for men and a jeans collection, and robes and sleepwear for women to retail store customers. The Retail segment sells men's apparel and other Nautica-branded products primarily through Retail store locations directly to consumers. - 6 - 8 NAUTICA ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) DECEMBER 2, 2000 (unaudited) (amounts in thousands) Segment profit is based on earnings before income taxes. The reportable segments are distinct business units and are separately managed with different distribution channels.

In addition, the reserve for markdowns and promotional allowances has been reclassified from accrued expenses to a reduction of accounts receivable. Previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. This change in presentation has no impact on operating profit, earnings before provision for income taxes, or net earnings. For the Nine Months Ended December 2, 2000: Net sales increased 11.3% to $469.1 million in the nine months ended December 2, 2000 from $421.4 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in sales is due primarily to increased unit volume rather than price increases. The reported sales reflect a 10.0% increase in the Wholesale segment to $355.7 million from $323.4 million and a 15.7% increase in the Retail segment to $113.4 million from $98.0 million. The growth in the Wholesale segment was driven by sales in new product lines and increases in core sportswear, men's jeans and men's and ladies sleepwear sales offset by a decrease in NST sales. The Company has discontinued distribution of NST product in the athletic specialty chain channels. The Company still believes that the NST brand carries high consumer recognition, and therefore, plans to re-evaluate its future position in other channels of distribution. Excluding NST brand products for the nine months of both the current and prior year periods, Wholesale segment sales would have increased 13.3%. The overall Retail segment sales increase is primarily a result of sales from new stores opened since the third quarter of last year. Gross profit for the period was 41.4% compared to 42.5% in the comparable prior year period. The decrease is due to the impact of lower margins on new product lines, and markdowns associated with an increase in promotional activity at retail. Total selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased by $22.9 million to $148.7 million in Fiscal 2001 from $125.8 million in Fiscal 2000. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.7% in Fiscal 2001 from 29.9% in Fiscal 2000. The increase is principally due to expenses incurred to support the launch of new product lines. Net royalty income increased by $1.8 million to $6.3 million from $4.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the strength in children's apparel, eyewear, women's swimwear, small leather goods and the launch of a new men's fragrance, Latitude/Longitude. In addition, part of the increase was a result of royalty payments received from audits performed on prior year licensee reported sales. Investment income increased by $.6 million to $2.0 million from $1.4 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is due to higher rates of return on investments. The provision for income taxes decreased to 38.8% from 39.2% of earnings before income taxes in the comparable prior year period. The decrease is due primarily to a reduction in the effective state income tax rates. Net earnings decreased 8.5% to $33.0 million from $36.1 million in the comparable prior year period as a result of the factors discussed above. - 8 - 10 For the Three Months Ended December 2, 2000: Net sales increased 5.0% to $178.5 million in the three months ended December 2, 2000 from $169.9 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in sales is due primarily to increased unit volume rather than price increases. The reported sales reflect a 1.6% increase in the Wholesale segment to $136.4 million from $134.2 million and an 18.0% increase in the Retail segment to $42.1 million from $35.7 million. The growth in the Wholesale segment was driven by sales in new product lines and increases in men's and ladies sleepwear sales offset by a decrease in NST sales. Excluding NST brand products for the third quarter of both the current and prior year periods, Wholesale segment sales would have increased 5.5%. The overall Retail segment sales increase is a result of sales from new stores opened since the third quarter of last year, and by higher comparable store sales. Gross profit for the period was 41.6% compared to 43.0% in the comparable prior year period. The decrease is due to the impact of lower margins on new product lines, and markdowns associated with an increase in promotional activity at retail. Total SG&A expenses increased by $4.4 million to $50.5 million in Fiscal 2001 from $46.1 million in Fiscal 2000. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 28.3% from 27.2% in Fiscal 2001. The increase is principally due to expenses incurred to support the launch of new product lines. Net royalty income increased by $.9 million to $2.6 million from $1.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily due to royalty payments received from audits performed on prior year licensee reported sales. In addition, there was strength in women's swimwear, small leather goods and fragrance. Investment income increased by $.1 million to $.6 million from $.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is due to higher rates of return on investments offset by lower average cash balances. The provision for income taxes decreased to 38.8% from 39.2% of earnings before income taxes in the comparable prior year period. The decrease is due primarily to a reduction in the effective state income tax rates. Net earnings decreased 6.7% to $16.5 million from $17.7 million in the comparable prior year period as a result of the factors discussed above. - 9 - 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- During the nine months ended December 2, 2000, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $39.0 million principally from net earnings. Increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $5.5 and $22.3 million, respectively, resulted from increased sales, and were financed principally by cash generated from net earnings, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable was 14.5% lower than the same period in the prior year due to timing of shipments, with a lower percentage occurring in the last part of the quarter. Inventory was 38.6% higher than the same period in the prior year due to increased sales and the timing of merchandise received. During the nine months ended November 27, 1999, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $44.0 million, principally from net earnings. The increase in accounts receivable of $18.8 million resulted from increased sales, and were financed principally by cash generated from net earnings and increases in accrued expenses. Accounts receivable was 21.3% higher than the same period in the prior year due to increased sales and the timing of shipments, with a greater percentage occurring in the last part of the quarter. Inventory was 11.6% lower than the same period in the prior year due to reduced outlet inventory and the receipt of production closer to the time of customer delivery. During the nine months ended December 2, 2000, the Company's principal investing activities related primarily to the purchase of property, plant and equipment for the Nautica in-store shop program and the construction of a new distribution facility. The Company expects to continue to incur capital expenditures to expand the in-store shop program, and to open additional Retail stores. The Company is currently evaluating various financing vehicles for the new distribution facility. At December 2, 2000, there were no other material commitments for capital expenditures. During the nine months ended December 2, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase 4,000,000 shares of its common stock. During such period, the Company purchased 2,533,000 shares of its outstanding common stock at a cost of $28.8 million. The Company has a total of $150.0 million in lines of credit with four commercial banks available for short-term borrowings and letters of credit. These lines are collateralized by imported inventory and accounts receivable. At December 2, 2000 and March 4, 2000, letters of credit outstanding under the lines were $59.1 million and $50.5 million, respectively, and there were no short-term borrowings outstanding. Historically, the Company has experienced its highest level of sales in the second and third quarters and its lowest level in the first and fourth quarters due to seasonal patterns. In the future, the timing of seasonal shipments may vary by quarter. The Company anticipates that internally generated funds from operations, existing cash balances, short-term investments and the Company's existing credit lines will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements. INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS ----------------------------------- The Company believes that inflation and the effect of fluctuations of the dollar against foreign currencies have not had a material effect on the cost of imports or the Company's results of operations. - 10 - 12 FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS ----------------------------------------- Certain statements in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of authorized personnel constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are indicated by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," and similar words or phrases and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the overall level of consumer spending on apparel; dependence on sales to a limited number of large department store customers; risks related to extending credit to customers; actions of existing or new competitors and changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where the Company sells or sources its products; risks associated with consolidations, restructurings and other ownership changes in the retail industry; changes in trends in the market segments in which the Company competes; risks associated with uncertainty relating to the Company's ability to launch, support and implement new product lines; and, other risks and uncertainties in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, press releases or oral statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Disclosure about interest rate risk The Company has no long-term debt, and finances capital needs through available capital, future earnings and bank lines of credit. The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is primarily in its investment portfolio. The Company, pursuant to investing guidelines, mitigates exposure by limiting maturity, placing investments with high credit quality issuers and limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. During the nine months ended December 2, 2000, the Company earned investment income of $2.0 million.
