Balance Sheet and Liquidity
On a FIFO basis, inventory decreased 29% compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding Lanier Apparel, which the Company is exiting, inventory decreased 22% compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide each decreased inventory levels year over year with conservative purchases of seasonal inventory and higher than expected first quarter sales. Ongoing enhancements to enterprise order management systems are also contributing to a more efficient use of inventory. On a LIFO basis, inventory decreased 36% compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
As of May 1, 2021, the Company had a strong liquidity position with $92 million of cash and cash equivalents and no borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit agreement. Unused availability was $322 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company had $182 million of cash and cash equivalents and $208 million of borrowings outstanding. In March 2020, as a proactive measure to bolster its cash position and maintain a high level of liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company drew down $200 million of its $325 million revolving credit facility. The Company subsequently repaid all outstanding debt with cash on hand and cash flow generated from operating activities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, cash provided by operating activities was $41 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $46 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
Outlook
The Company initiated its guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, ending on July 31, 2021. The Company expects net sales to be between $300 million and $310 million compared to net sales of $192 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and $302 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company’s third quarter is historically its smallest sales and earnings quarter due to the seasonality of its direct to consumer operations. Additionally, high sell-throughs in the first quarter and planned sales levels in the second quarter are expected to reduce the size of third quarter clearance events. As a result of lower planned revenue from clearance events and the impact of the Lanier Apparel exit, the Company expects a loss of $0.24 to $0.39 per share on a GAAP basis and a loss of $0.20 to $0.35 per share on an adjusted basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. This compares with a loss of $0.64 per share on a GAAP basis and an adjusted loss per share of $0.44 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and earnings of $0.10 per share on a GAAP and adjusted basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company now expects net sales in a range of $1.015 billion to $1.05 billion as compared to net sales of $749 million in fiscal 2020 and $1.12 billion in fiscal 2019. The Company noted that it expects sales in Lanier Apparel to be approximately $75 million lower than in fiscal 2019 as it exits this business. In fiscal 2021, GAAP earnings per share are expected to be between $4.55 and $4.85. Adjusted earnings per share are expected to be between $4.85 and $5.15. This compares to a loss on a GAAP basis of $5.77 per share and an adjusted loss of $1.81 per share in fiscal 2020, and earnings of $4.05 per share on a GAAP basis and $4.32 per share on an adjusted basis in fiscal 2019.
For fiscal 2021, the Company’s interest expense is expected to be approximately $1 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter is expected to be approximately 24% and for fiscal 2021 is expected to be approximately 22%. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2021, including $5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, are expected to be approximately $35 million, primarily reflecting investments in information technology initiatives and new Marlin Bars and retail stores.
