乱伦巴士 Corporation Reports In-Line Fourth Quarter Revenue and Earnings, Declares Dividend of $0.30 Per Share, and Issues Fiscal 2024 Outlook

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 乱伦巴士 Corporation (NYSE: 乱伦巴士C) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter (Q4'FY23) and fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 (FY23) in line with guidance.

Q4'FY23 Financial Highlights

Revenue $2.7 billion, down 3% (flat in constant dollars)
Earnings (loss) per share (EPS) $(0.55) vs. Q4'FY22 $0.21; Adjusted EPS $0.17 vs. Q4'FY22 $0.45

FY23 Financial Highlights

Revenue $11.6 billion, down 2% (up 3% in constant dollars)
EPS $0.31 vs. FY22 $3.10; Adjusted EPS $2.10 vs. FY22 $3.18

Benno Dorer, Interim President and CEO, said:

鈥淲e delivered quarterly results in line with our guidance, led by ongoing strength in The North Face^庐 and our International business, with accelerating momentum in Greater China. As a result, we were able to close the fiscal year with 10 out of 12 brands flat or growing revenue, and five up double digits, despite the challenging consumer environment. At the same time, we significantly improved our supply chain performance while the work to turn around Vans^庐 is progressing according to plan, as we navigate the known near-term challenges. Looking ahead to FY24, I am confident that we have the right plan to deliver improved operating performance and financial results, while we thoughtfully invest to deliver strong and consistent shareholder returns over the long term.鈥�

Q4鈥橣Y23 Operating Highlights

Continued broad-based strength in The North Face^庐, up 12% (up 16% in constant dollars)
Vans^庐 down 14% (down 12% in constant dollars), illustrating the beginning of growth in APAC in constant dollars while the Americas remained negative
International business up 2% (up 8% in constant dollars)
- EMEA region delivered its eighth consecutive quarter of growth in constant dollars
- Greater China up 3% (up 10% in constant dollars) led further sequential improvement in the APAC region
Americas region down 7%, primarily driven by reductions in the US Wholesale business
Supply chain performance improving behind better execution, with increased on-time performance and a reduction in inventory of $299 million during Q4'FY23, as anticipated
The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $313 million related to the Supreme^庐 brand
Recognized as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere for 2023, the seventh consecutive year for 乱伦巴士

FY24 Financial Outlook

Total 乱伦巴士 revenue flat to up slightly in constant dollars, including Q1'FY24 revenue down high-single digits in constant dollars reflecting a challenging US Wholesale environment
Gross margin up at least 100 basis points, benefiting from a lower promotional environment across the marketplace
Operating margin expansion, driven by the higher gross margins supporting modest increases in SG&A
EPS of $2.05 to $2.25, including more than $(0.30) from the adverse effect of higher interest, unfavorable foreign currency, assumed normalized incentive compensation and a higher tax rate
Free cash flow of about $900 million

Matt Puckett, CFO, said: 鈥淔Y24 will be a year of progress as initiatives underway begin to drive results. We will be laser-focused on execution amidst an increasingly difficult near-term environment, particularly in US wholesale. We expect to improve our operating performance and financial results, highlighted by increasing gross margins, EBITDA growth, and strong cash generation, all of which supports our plan to de-lever. I remain confident 乱伦巴士 is well positioned to return to sustainable and profitable growth beginning in FY24.鈥�

Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency

This release refers to 鈥渞eported鈥� amounts in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (鈥淕AAP鈥�), which include translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency exchange rates. This release also refers to 鈥渃onstant dollar鈥� amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to constant currency amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management鈥檚 view of why this information is useful to investors.

Discontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business

On June 28, 2021, 乱伦巴士 completed the sale of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap^庐, 乱伦巴士 Solutions^庐, Bulwark^庐, Workrite^庐, Walls^庐, Terra^庐, Kodiak^庐, Work Authority^庐 and Horace Small^庐. The business also included a license for certain Dickies^庐 occupational workwear products that were historically sold through the business-to-business channel. Accordingly, the company has reported the operating results and cash flows of the business in discontinued operations for all periods through the date of sale.

Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Costs Related to Specified Strategic Business Decisions, Noncash Impairment Charges, Pension Settlement Charge and a Tax Item

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the acquisition of the Supreme^庐 brand. Total transaction and deal related activities include integration costs of approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 2023.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to 乱伦巴士's business model transformation primarily driven by Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs, and a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations. Total costs were approximately $72 million in fiscal 2023.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme^庐 reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of approximately $313 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and $735 million in fiscal 2023. The impairment charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The impairment charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 related to lower financial projections and increased risk of achieving management's forecasts.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a noncash pension settlement charge. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with 乱伦巴士's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. Total expense was approximately $92 million in fiscal 2023.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a discrete tax benefit of approximately $95 million in fiscal 2023 related to a favorable adjustment to 乱伦巴士's transition tax liability pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act based on examinations by the IRS.

Combined, the above items negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.72 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and $1.79 during fiscal 2023. All adjusted amounts referenced herein exclude the effects of these amounts.

Reconciliations of measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management鈥檚 view of why this information is useful to investors. The company also provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results.

Constant Currency Financial Information

乱伦巴士 is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by 乱伦巴士 from translating its foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we present constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how our business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses.

To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).

These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

^(a) Transaction and deal related activities include activities associated with the acquisition of Supreme Holdings, Inc. and include integration costs of $0.3 million for the twelve months ended March 2023. The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $0.1 million in the twelve months ended March 2023.

^(b) Specified strategic business decisions include costs related to 乱伦巴士's business model transformation of $59.5 million during the twelve months ended March 2023, related primarily to Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs. Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $12.5 million in the twelve months ended March 2023. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $15.0 million in the twelve months ended March 2023.

^(c) 乱伦巴士 recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $313.1 million and $735.0 million during the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively. The second quarter impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The fourth quarter impairment charges were related to lower financial projections and increased risk of achieving management's forecasts.

听

A noncash pension settlement charge of $91.8 million was recorded in the Other income (expense), net line item during the twelve months ended March 2023. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with 乱伦巴士's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company.

听

The impairment and pension settlement charges resulted in a net tax benefit of $32.0 million and $92.2 million in the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively.

^(d) Tax item includes a $94.9 million discrete tax benefit recognized during the twelve months ended March 2023 related to the Internal Revenue Service examinations for tax year 2017 and short-tax year 2018 resulting in a favorable adjustment to 乱伦巴士's transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

^(e) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The GAAP diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,062,000 and 388,370,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively. The adjusted diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,409,000 and 388,370,000 weighted average common shares for the three and twelve months ended March 2023, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of transaction and deal related activities, activity related to specified strategic business decisions, impairments, a pension settlement charge and a tax item. The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures. Management believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding 乱伦巴士's underlying business trends and the performance of 乱伦巴士's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations.

Management uses the above financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, 乱伦巴士's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
