NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL), a global leader in the design, marketing, and distribution of premium lifestyle products, today reported earnings per diluted share of $2.93 on a reported basis and $2.94 on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring-related and other net charges for the third quarter of Fiscal 2022. This compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.61 on a reported basis and $1.67 on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring-related and other net charges and one-time tax events for the third quarter of Fiscal 2021.
The Company repurchased approximately $300 million of Class A Common Stock in the third quarter. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new $1.5 billion stock repurchase program permitting it to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to overall business and market conditions. This is in addition to the $280 million available at the end of third quarter Fiscal 2022 as part of a previously authorized stock repurchase program, bringing the Company's total current authorization to $1.78 billion.
"What we do has always been about living — enjoying every moment from what you wear, to the way you live, to the way you love," said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer. "And as we enter a new year, filled with hope of more connection and healing as humans and for our planet, I am inspired by how our teams and people around the world are connecting to what we are about — timelessness and an authentic life well-lived."
"We were pleased to report strong third quarter performance during the important holiday season," said Patrice Louvet, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our better-than-expected results across all three regions are a testament to the outstanding work our teams have done to fundamentally reposition our business, elevate our brand and pivot to offense – including in North America, where our turnaround is well underway. With our significant reset work behind us, we are encouraged that our long-term growth is supported by multiple engines – from geographic and channel expansion to recruiting new high-value consumers and developing high-potential product categories."
Key Achievements in Third Quarter Fiscal 2022
We delivered the following highlights across our strategic priorities in the third quarter of Fiscal 2022:
-
Win Over a New Generation of Consumers
- Continued to fuel strong consumer engagement through diverse content and accelerated marketing investments, driving growth in global brand consideration and purchase intent
- Third quarter investments supported our Holiday 2021 campaigns including first-of-its kind collaboration — The Ralph Lauren Winter Escape — on Roblox, continuing our expanding leadership into the metaverse; and the launch of our full-catalog Ralph Lauren mobile shopping app and continued focus on new full-price consumer acquisition
-
Energize Core Products and Accelerate Under-Developed Categories
- Delivered a compelling Fall assortment, successfully capturing the consumer's interest in post-pandemic dressing, blending casual comfort with elevated looks — both core to the Ralph Lauren brand. Continued momentum in both core and high-potential categories, led by our outerwear, fleece and sweater programs this Holiday
- Special releases included Create-Your-Own customizable jackets, "7 Days, 7 Decks" skateboard collection on our Polo app and our latest exclusive Major League Baseball collection featuring the Red Sox
- Brand elevation continues with average unit retail up 18% across our direct-to-consumer network in the third quarter, on top of a 19% increase last year, driven by a strong Fall product offering and promotional discipline
-
Drive Targeted Expansion in Our Regions and Channels
- Delivered strong growth across every region in the quarter, exceeding expectations with North America up 30%, Europe up 50% and Asia up 20% to last year in constant currency
- All three regions returned to positive growth compared to third quarter Fiscal 2020 pre-pandemic levels
-
Lead With Digital
- Total Ralph Lauren digital ecosystem revenues grew more than 40% in the third quarter, with strong momentum across both owned and wholesale digital channels globally
- Third quarter operating margin in our owned digital business contracted modestly from last year's levels but increased 700 basis points to third quarter Fiscal 2020, significantly benefiting the total company margin rate
-
Operate With Discipline to Fuel Growth
- Third quarter adjusted operating margin expanded 260 basis points to last year to 15.9%, with continued gross margin expansion and operating expense leverage on stronger revenues including increased marketing investments. Adjusted operating profit dollars increased 52% to last year and 18% to Fiscal 2020
- Adjusted gross margin expansion of 60 basis points exceeded our expectations, with strong double-digit AUR growth and elevated product mix more than offsetting planned higher freight costs as we continue to successfully mitigate a dynamic inflationary environment
- Continued progress on our citizenship and sustainability journey including the groundbreaking launch of our first product using Clarus, a first-to-market patented technology using high-performance recycled cotton developed by our partner, Natural Fiber Welding

Full Year Fiscal 2022 and Fourth Quarter Outlook
The Company continues to note the ongoing uncertainty and evolving situation surrounding COVID-19 impacting the timing and path of recovery in each market, including the potential for further outbreaks or resurgences of the pandemic across various markets as well as potential global supply chain disruptions. The Company’s outlook is based on its best assessment of the current macro environment, including global supply chain, inflationary pressures, the Omicron variant and other COVID-related disruptions. The full year Fiscal 2022 and fourth quarter guidance excludes restructuring-related and other charges, as described in the "Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release.
For Fiscal 2022, the Company now expects constant currency revenue growth of approximately 39% to 41% to last year on a 53-week reported basis, compared to its previous outlook of 34% to 36% growth. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact revenue growth by approximately 70 basis points. The 53rd week is still expected to represent approximately 140 basis points of this year’s revenue growth.
The Company also raised its outlook for operating margin for Fiscal 2022 to approximately 13% on both a reported and constant currency basis, compared to a range of 12.0% to 12.5% previously. This compares to operating margin of 4.8% in the prior year period and 10.3% in Fiscal 2020. Gross margin is expected to increase 70 to 90 basis points to last year, up from 50 to 70 basis points previously, with stronger AUR growth and favorable product mix more than offsetting increased freight headwinds.
Operating expenses continue to reflect the Company's plans to increase marketing and other strategic investments to support long-term growth, including a higher level of spend in the second half of the fiscal year. The Company plans to provide investors with an update on its Next Great Chapter strategic plan this summer.
For fourth quarter Fiscal 2022, revenues are expected to increase approximately 17% to 18% in constant currency to last year. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact revenue growth by approximately 400 basis points.
Operating margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately 4.2% in constant currency, with gross margin expansion more than offsetting increased marketing investments. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact operating margin by approximately 120 basis points.
Fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2022 tax rates are expected to be approximately 21% to 22%.
Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $200 million to $225 million for the full year.

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION FOOTNOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES |
|
(a) |
Adjustments for inventory-related charges (benefits) are recorded within cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Adjustments for COVID-19-related bad debt expense (benefit) is recorded within selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Adjustments for impairment-related charges are recorded within impairment of assets in the consolidated statements of operations. Adjustments for one-time income tax events are recorded within the income tax benefit (provision). Adjustments for all other charges are recorded within restructuring and other charges, net in the consolidated statements of operations. |
(b) |
Adjustments for the three months ended December 25, 2021 include (i) charges of $1.9 million recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring activities, consisting of restructuring charges; (ii) other charges of $1.4 million primarily related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired; (iii) income of $3.1 million primarily related to a certain revenue share clause in the Company's agreement with Regent, L.P. ("Regent") that entitled it to receive a portion of the sales generated by the Club Monaco business during a four-month business transition period; and (iv) benefit of $0.1 million related to COVID-19-related bad debt reserve adjustments. |
(c) |
Adjustments for the nine months ended December 25, 2021 include (i) charges of $23.7 million recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring activities, consisting of restructuring charges, impairment of assets, and accelerated stock-based compensation expense; (ii) benefit of $11.5 million related to COVID-19-related inventory adjustments; (iii) other charges of $7.3 million primarily related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired; (iv) income of $3.1 million primarily related to a certain revenue share clause in the Company's agreement with Regent that entitled it to receive a portion of the sales generated by the Club Monaco business during a four-month business transition period; and (v) benefit of $1.2 million related to COVID-19-related bad debt reserve adjustments. |
(d) |
Adjustments for the three months ended December 26, 2020 include (i) charges of $18.5 million recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring activities, consisting of restructuring charges and impairment of assets; and (ii) other charges of $1.0 million primarily related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired. |
|
Our income tax provision for the three months ended December 26, 2020 reflected tax effects of the pre-tax charges described above, as well as incremental tax expense of $14.2 million related to international tax legislation enacted in connection with the European Union’s anti-tax avoidance directive and $6.7 million primarily due to a decrease in a net operating loss carryback under the CARES Act, partially offset by an income tax benefit of $9.1 million primarily related to a change in the valuation allowance provided against domestic losses attributable to significant COVID-19 business disruptions. Additionally, our adjustments during the three months ended December 26, 2020 also reflect incremental tax expense of $23.4 million as a result of computing our adjusted income tax provision using the discrete method, which allows companies to calculate its tax provision based upon the actual effective tax rate for the current fiscal period, as opposed to applying an estimated annual effective tax rate. We believe this approach resulted in a better representation of our income tax provision for the then current fiscal period as our estimated annual effective tax rate did not provide a reliable estimate as it was subject to significant volatility due to the range of potential impacts and resulting uncertainties related to the global COVID-19 pandemic. |
(e) |
Adjustments for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 include (i) charges of $204.3 million recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring activities, primarily consisting of restructuring charges, impairment of assets, and inventory-related charges; (ii) benefit of $31.4 million related to COVID-19-related bad debt reserve adjustments; (iii) additional impairment of assets of $8.8 million primarily related to a certain previously exited real estate location for which the related lease agreement has not yet expired; (iv) other charges of $8.3 million primarily related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired; and (v) benefit of $5.4 million related to COVID-19-related inventory adjustments. |
|
Our income tax provision for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 reflected tax effects of the pre-tax charges described above, as well as incremental tax expense of $16.1 million primarily related to a valuation allowance provided against domestic losses attributable to significant COVID-19 business disruptions and $14.2 million related to international tax legislation enacted in connection with the European Union’s anti-tax avoidance directive, partially offset by an income tax benefit of $24.4 million primarily due to a net operating loss carryback under the CARES Act. Additionally, our adjustments during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 also reflect incremental tax expense of $11.8 million as a result of computing our adjusted income tax provision using the discrete method, which allows companies to calculate its tax provision based upon the actual effective tax rate for the current fiscal period, as opposed to applying an estimated annual effective tax rate (as previously discussed). |
(f) |
Adjustments for the three months ended December 28, 2019 include (i) charges of $7.0 million recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring plans, consisting of restructuring charges and impairment of assets; (ii) additional impairment of assets of $11.4 million related to underperforming stores as a result of on-going store portfolio evaluation; and (iii) other charges of $3.0 million primarily related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired. Additionally, the income tax benefit (provision) reflects a one-time benefit of $134.1 million recorded in connection with Swiss tax reform. |
(g) |
Adjustments for the nine months ended December 28, 2019 include (i) charges of $31.6 million recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring plans, consisting of restructuring charges, impairment of assets, inventory-related charges, and accelerated stock-based compensation expense; (ii) additional impairment of assets of $15.2 million related to underperforming stores as a result of on-going store portfolio evaluation; and (iii) other charges of $27.0 million primarily related to the charitable donation of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of the Company's corporate jet, and rent and occupancy costs associated with previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired. Additionally, the income tax benefit (provision) reflects a one-time benefit of $134.1 million recorded in connection with Swiss tax reform. |
NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Because Ralph Lauren Corporation is a global company, the comparability of its operating results reported in U.S. Dollars is affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying currencies in which it transacts change in value over time compared to the U.S. Dollar. Such fluctuations can have a significant effect on the Company's reported results. As such, in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), the Company's discussions often contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated by translating current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency. The Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as a supplement to its reported operating results. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how its businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes this information is useful to investors for facilitating comparisons of operating results and better identifying trends in the Company's businesses. The constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
This earnings release also includes certain other non-U.S. GAAP financial measures relating to the impact of charges and other items as described herein. The Company uses non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and to better represent the manner in which it conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding items that are not comparable from period to period helps investors and others compare operating performance between two periods. While the Company considers non-U.S. GAAP measures useful in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any presentation included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-U.S. GAAP measures reported by other companies.
Adjustments made during the fiscal periods presented include charges recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring activities, as well as certain other charges (benefits) associated with other non-recurring events, as described in the footnotes to the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above. The income tax benefit (provision) has been adjusted for the tax-related effects of these charges, which were calculated using the respective statutory tax rates for each applicable jurisdiction. The income tax benefit (provision) has also been adjusted for certain other one-time income tax events and other adjustments, as described in the footnotes to the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above. Included in this earnings release are reconciliations between the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures before and after these adjustments.
Additionally, the Company's full year Fiscal 2022 and fourth quarter guidance excludes certain anticipated restructuring-related and other charges. The Company is not able to provide a full reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP because certain material items that impact these measures, such as the timing and exact amount of charges related to its restructuring plans, have not yet occurred or are out of the Company's control. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company's non-U.S. GAAP based financial measure guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort. However, the Company has identified the estimated impact of certain items excluded from its financial outlook. Specifically, the Company's financial outlook excludes estimated pretax charges of approximately $40 million to $90 million related to its Fiscal 2021 Strategic Realignment Plan that have not yet been incurred.
