Cutting Estimates; Putting Thoughts Behind an Americas and Asia-Pac Deceleration
Following a below-plan holiday selling season we are substantially reducing estimates on Tiffany and we see continued risk to Street estimates ahead of the March 20th Q4 report when management will guide full-year EPS (we are now at $3.80 vs. Street $3.95). Whats more discouraging is TIF appears to be a standout right now as we havent heard any other high-end retailer point to any type of slowdown to date of this magnitude. Likewise our price target comes down to $60 (from $70). While TIF remains one of the more compelling long-term stories in our universe and one of the truly great iconic brands in retail, we would avoid shares in the near term and wait for a better entry point in the sub-$60 level. Americas business slows, we now expect negative 1H comps. After posting comp increases of 17%, 23%, and 15% through the first three quarters of the year, holiday comps increased just 2% this year. Weakness that began with the Northeast region of the US could be spreading to other areas. We believe large drivers of the NE slowdown and broader impact were 1) the stock market (or wealth effect which has a 90% correlation to US comps) and 2) Wall Street bonuses (which the NY Comptroller estimates fell 30-40% this year) and layoffs. Given more difficult compares looming and high-end headwind (Q1 will be the first time the SPX is down y/y since Q2:09), we now assume comps go negative beginning in Q1. The companys Valentines Day results will likely be very telling and could impact how the company approaches its first take on officially guiding 2012. (Last months Holiday results used the word solid in reference to how they were thinking about 2012 EPS growthour take was solid meant somewhere between 5% and 10%.) From a product mix perspective, the aspirational silver jewelry business (which carries the highest gross margins) continues to be the weakest category, which could say something about either the real mindset of the middle-class consumer or about how fragmented and promotional the category continues to bewhile TIF doesnt partake in promotions.

Asia-Pacific misses lofty projectionsseeing cracks in the region. A big part of the TIF story is clearly expansion into Asia, and more specifically China. While Asia Pac fell below plans for holiday it was still among the best-performing regions. That said, the 12% holiday comp for the region is a material deceleration from 35-40% comps TIF was generating the past six months. Several data points show that directionally we may have hit an inflection in high-end spending in China: 1) The Chairman of HKs Retail Management Association (RMA) said that sales of jewelry and valuable watches during CNY were quite disappointing, 2) Richemont and Ferragamo both saw decelerating sales growth in Asia (exJapan) last reporting period, and 3) Swatch recently stated that they saw a sharp deceleration for CNY at Omega directly operated stores (and that some competitors actually saw declines). A deeper dive into gross margins. In our last report (Sept 9th: Thinking Outside the Blue Box) we attempted to break apart TIFs COGSseparating the fixed-cost portion of it from the pure product margins, illustrating that while GMs were up in 1H pure product margins appeared to be falling 70-80bps due to inflation. Since then we learned that Q3 and Q4 GMs are under heavy pressure as price increases have not been offsetting cost pressures all while deceleration in top-line trends is leading to less leverage (or deleverage on the fixed-cost portion of COGS). This continues to be a primary concern on our end for 2012 as 1) inflationary pressures will be more pronounced in 2012 vs. 2011 (cost is on a 12-14 month lag); 2) comps are decelerating (less opportunity to offset inflation through leverage)also, if comps turn negative it should become incrementally more difficult to increase prices, which could keep margins under pressure for the next few quarters at a minimum; and 3) the negative mix shift as the high-margin silver jewelry business continues to lag the other categories. SG&A: Weighing cuts and investment. Given the material deceleration in trends through Nov/Dec we believe many investors are bracing for a soft sales performance in 2012. One thing that gives us some confidence that TIF could avoid a hard landing is their proven ability to cut costs. Back in 2008, once comps turned negative the company began cutting expenses the very next quarter. Unfortunately, in the near term the cost cuts could be slightly tougher to come by as 2012 marks the 175th anniversary of Tiffany and the advertising spend planned may not be deferred and we also expect the company to continue on its annual 6-8% square footage growth plans. Big cut to numbers, see risk to Street numbers. We are cutting our Q4/2011/2012 EPS estimates to $1.42/$3.64/$3.80 (from $1.57$3.78//$4.20), while our PT is also cut to $60 (from $70) based on 15-16x our downwardly revised 2012 EPS estimate. That would put it at a 15-20% discount to the global luxury basket against which we benchmark TIF (Burberry, Fossil, LVMH, Ralph Lauren, Richemont, Swatch, and Coach) given that TIFs slowdown seems to be a lone standout to peers. Since cutting Q4 guidance, TIF shares have actually gained 8%gaining back some of the 17% decline in shares in the 3 months before, so the bar had definitely been coming down on the back of the companys more tempered view of the US and Europe back in late November on their Q3 call. While one of the great iconic brands in retail today and a great long-term story, the near-term risk seems too great at todays price to get involved here, in our view.

Investment Thesis
Tiffany & Co. (TIF)
Neutral
Tiffany represents a company that carries a global growth story that is unparalleled among other US specialty retailers. Ongoing strength in Asia ex-Japan and Europe made 2010 the first year in company history that international sales exceeded domestic salesindicating that Tiffany is a true global player. Longer term, we expect TIF to further expand its global presence driven by share gains and increased brand awareness. Management plans to eventually double its European store base and has significant opportunity in Asia Pacific (ex-Japan) where the company believes it could grow its 13 stores in mainland China to 25-30 over the next few years. The Greater China region currently generates ~$275 million and mainland China generated $55 million in annual revenues for the company as of 2010. The company is in a tougher position heading into 2012, as a weak holiday indicated a material deceleration across the globe (excluding Japan). After posting comp increases of 17%, 23%, and 15% through the first three quarters of the year, holiday comps increased just 2% this year. Weakness that began with the Northeast region of the US could be spreading to other areas. Likewise, the Asia segment also saw a big slowdown, as the 12% holiday comp for the region is a material deceleration from 35-40% comps TIF was generating the past six months. Several data points show that directionally we may have hit an inflection in high-end spending in China. And lastly Europe comps have now turned negative as well (weakness in the UK overshadowing Continental Europe). Unlike the majority of its high-end jewelry peers, TIF is 60% vertically integrated and actually has pricing power. Relative to other retailers in our coverage, TIF has historically been able to pass along high input costs given lower purchase frequency and pricing knowledge. We believe the company has taken prices up several times over the past 12-18 months; however GMs should be down for the next several quarters due to a 15-25% cost increase hitting the P&L (although prices are beginning to moderate). Longer term, 10-12% annual sales growth (MSD comps and footage) and 20-40bps of margin expansion should drive mid-teens bottom-line growth for the next several years as TIF possess one of the best growth profiles in retail todaybut our outlook for the next few quarters is much less shiny.
Earnings Outlook
2011
For 2011, we assume 11% worldwide comps and 6-7% footage growth to drive $3.64 in EPSrepresenting 24% bottom-line growth. We are modeling EBIT margins up 100bps to 20.8% driven by 120bps of leverage on expense, partially offset by a 20bps decline in GMs (2H weighted). By segment, we assume Americas comps up 14%, Asia-Pacific comps up 29%, Japan comps up 4% (up 14% inc currency), and Europe comps up 9% (up 14% inc currency).

2012
For 2012, we assume 4% worldwide comps and 6-7% footage growth to drive $3.80 in EPSrepresenting 4% bottom-line growth. We are modeling EBIT margins down 70bps to 20.1% driven solely by lower GMs (cost inflation) with 20bps of expense leverage. By segment, we assume Americas comps up 2%, Asia-Pacific comps up 10%, Japan comps up 5% (up 9% inc currency), and Europe comps down 1% (down 5% inc currency).

Valuation
TIF is trading at 17x our 2012 EPS estimate of $3.80. Our Dec 2012 PT of $60 is based on 15-16x (16-17x previously) our downwardly revised 2012 EPS estimate. That would put it at a 15-20% discount to the global luxury basket against which we benchmark TIF (Burberry, Fossil, LVMH, Ralph Lauren, Richemont, Swatch, and Coach) given that TIFs slowdown seems to be a lone standout to peers. While a great long-term story, the near-term risk seems too great at todays price to get involved here, in our view.
