Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Reports Third Quarter Results

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Nov. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) today announced results for the third quarter ended October 29, 2022. These compare to results for the third quarter ended October 30, 2021. Descriptions of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures accompany this release.

Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said “We were pleased to see year-over-year sales trends improve across brands in light of the global macroeconomic environment. While net sales were down 3% as compared to last year on a reported basis, net sales were flat on a constant currency basis. Results were driven by Abercrombie brands where we delivered the highest Q3 net sales since 2014 and the tenth consecutive quarter of average unit retail growth.

We are cautiously optimistic as the holiday season kicks into high gear. While the environment remains dynamic, we are focused on what we can control. We have strategically adjusted our inventory receipts for holiday and early-2023, and unlike last year, we have the inventory on hand to fulfill holiday demand in the peak Black Friday to Christmas period. Additionally, we have reduced controllable spend where appropriate. At the same time, we are leveraging our strong financial position to advance the long-term, strategic investments necessary to achieve our 2025 Always Forward Plan.”

Details related to reported net (loss) income per diluted share and adjusted net income per diluted share for the third quarter are as follows:

   2022   2021 
GAAP $(0.04) $0.77 
Excluded items, net of tax effect (1)  (0.05)  (0.09)
Adjusted non-GAAP $0.01  $0.86 
Impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates (2)     (0.10)
Adjusted non-GAAP constant currency $0.01  $0.76 
(1)  Excluded items consist of pre-tax store asset impairment charges.

A summary of results for the third quarter ended October 29, 2022 as compared to the third quarter ended October 30, 2021:

  • Net sales of $880 million, down 3% as compared to last year on a reported basis and approximately flat on a constant currency basis.
  • Gross profit rate of 59.2%, down approximately 450 basis points as compared to last year. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by 370 basis points of higher freight and raw material costs and 60 basis points from the adverse impact of exchange rates.
  • Operating expense, excluding other operating income, net, approximately flat compared to last year, with decreases in marketing and incentive-based compensation, offset by higher inflation and digital fulfillment expenses. Operating expense as a percentage of sales increased to 57.2% from 55.8% last year.
  • Operating income of $18 million and $21 million on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively, as compared to operating income of $73 million and $79 million last year, on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively.

Financial Position and Liquidity

As of October 29, 2022 the company had:

  • Cash and equivalents of $257 million. This compares to cash and equivalents of $823 million and $866 million as of January 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively.
  • Inventories of $742 million, an increase of 36% to Q3 2021. Approximately 92% of the inventory is current, defined as current season, long-lived, or future set. The third quarter lapped the lowest Q3 on hand inventory levels since the mid-2000s and the lowest total inventory in over a decade, driven by shipping delays and production shutdowns in Vietnam, where the company had outsized exposure relative to industry average. Low on-hand inventories in 2021 led to missed sales opportunity in the back half. This year, inventory deliveries were proactively pulled forward to ensure product is in stock for the holiday season.
  • Long-term gross borrowings under the company’s senior secured notes of $300 million (the “Senior Secured Notes”) which mature in July 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum.
  • Borrowing available under the senior-secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) of $359 million.
  • Liquidity, comprised of cash and equivalents and borrowing available under the ABL Facility, of approximately $617 million. This compares to liquidity of $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion as of January 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively.
Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Details related to the company’s cash flows for the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2022 are as follows:

  • Net cash used for operating activities of $301 million.
  • Net cash used for investing activities of $96 million.
  • Net cash used for financing activities of $155 million.

During the 2022 third quarter, the company purchased $8 million of its senior secured notes on the open market. In addition, in the 2022 third quarter, the company repurchased 510,000 shares for approximately $8 million. For the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2022, the company repurchased approximately 4.8 million shares for $126 million. The company has $232 million remaining on the share repurchase authorization established in November 2021.

Depreciation and amortization was $98 million for the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2022.

Fiscal 2022 Full Year Outlook

The following outlook replaces all previous full year guidance. For fiscal 2022, the company now expects:

  • Net sales to be down in the range of 2 to 3% from $3.7 billion in 2021. This compares to the previous outlook of down mid-single-digits. The outlook includes an estimated adverse impact of approximately 250 basis points from foreign currency up from an estimated 200 basis points last quarter.
  • Operating margin in the range of 2 to 3%, compared to the previous outlook of 1 to 3%.
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $170 million.
Fiscal 2022 Fourth Quarter Outlook

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the company expects:

  • Net sales to be down in the range of 2 to 4% to fiscal fourth quarter 2021 level of $1.2 billion. The level assumes an estimated adverse impact of approximately 300 basis points from foreign currency.
  • Operating margin to be in the range of 5 to 7%.
  • Effective tax rate in the mid-to-high 40s with the rate sensitive to earnings levels by geography.

Reporting and Use of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

The company believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented are useful to investors as they provide a measure of the company’s operating performance excluding the effect of certain items which the company believes do not reflect its future operating outlook, such as asset impairment charges, therefore supplementing investors’ understanding of comparability of operations across periods. Management used these non-GAAP financial measures during the periods presented to assess the company’s performance and to develop expectations for future operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be used supplemental to, and not as an alternative to, the company’s GAAP financial results, and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies.

In addition, at times the company provides comparable sales, defined as the percentage year-over-year change in the aggregate of: (1) sales for stores that have been open as the same brand at least one year and whose square footage has not been expanded or reduced by more than 20% within the past year, with prior year’s net sales converted at the current year’s foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation, and (2) digital net sales with prior year’s net sales converted at the current year’s foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation.

The company also provides certain financial information on a constant currency basis to enhance investors’ understanding of underlying business trends and operating performance, by removing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year results and is net of the year-over-year impact from hedging. The per diluted share effect from foreign currency is calculated using a 26% tax rate.
