Fourth-Quarter 2022 compared to Fourth-Quarter 2021 Details:
- Net revenues of $1.6 billion decreased 6% on a reported basis and was flat on a constant-currency basis.
– Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) net revenues decreased 2% on a reported basis and increased 6% on a constant-currency basis, driven by strong growth in company-operated stores in the Americas and Asia, offsetting a decline in Europe primarily due to store closures in Russia. DTC net revenues excluding Russia were up 10% on a constant-currency basis, driven by the Americas, Asia and Europe. As a percentage of fourth quarter company net revenues, sales from DTC stores and e-commerce comprised 31% and 8% respectively.
– Wholesale net revenues declined 8% on a reported basis, or 4% on a constant-currency basis. Excluding the effects of currency, strong growth in Asia and Latin America was more than offset by Wholesale declines in the U.S. and Europe.
– The company’s global digital net revenues were down 7% year-over-year, yet up approximately 29% versus pre-pandemic, as consumers returned to in-store shopping. Digital sales comprised approximately 20% of fourth quarter fiscal 2022 net revenues, as compared to 16% of fourth quarter fiscal 2019 net revenues.
- Gross profit was $887 million compared to $974 million last year. Gross margin was 55.8%, down from 57.8%. Adjusted gross margin was also 55.8%, down 230 basis points. Unfavorable currency exchange accounted for approximately 100 basis points of the decline, while the balance reflects the impact of higher product costs and lower full-priced sales, partially offset by price increases and favorable channel mix.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $738 million compared to $791 million last year. Adjusted SG&A was $745 million compared to $776 million last year. As a percentage of net revenues, Adjusted SG&A was 47%, up 90 basis points reflecting higher distribution expenses and ongoing strategic investments in IT and the company’s DTC business.
- Operating income was $137 million compared to $186 million last year, while Adjusted EBIT was $142 million compared to $203 million last year due to lower reported net revenues and Adjusted gross profit partially offset by lower Adjusted SG&A expenses. As a result, Adjusted EBIT margin was 9.0%, 300 basis points lower on a reported basis and 210 basis points lower on a constant-currency basis.
- Below the operating line, interest and other expenses, which include foreign exchange losses, were $3 million compared to $19 million last year. The company had a $11 million Income tax benefit in the fourth quarter driven by the execution of certain tax-related transactions, compared to an expense of $14 million last year.
- Net income was $151 million compared to $153 million last year and Adjusted net income was $137 million compared to $170 million last year. The decrease was driven by the decrease in Adjusted EBIT described above.
- Diluted earnings per share was $0.38 compared to $0.37 last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.34 compared to $0.41 in last year. This quarter's figure includes an adverse currency impact of $0.04 per share.
Information regarding Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted free cash flow, as well as amounts presented above on a constant-currency basis, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, is provided at the end of this press release.

In the Americas, net revenues decreased 5% on both reported and constant-currency bases, as growth in the DTC business was offset by a decline in the wholesale channel. DTC net revenues increased 7% driven primarily by higher traffic and AURs in company-operated stores in the U.S. Wholesale net revenues decreased 10% primarily due to supply chain challenges and retailers rebalancing inventory in the U.S. Latin America delivered another strong quarter with growth across all channels. Net revenues through all digital channels declined 7% and represented 18% of the segment's sales in the quarter.
Operating income for the segment decreased due to lower net revenues and gross margins and higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues.

Balance Sheet Review as of November 27, 2022
- Cash and cash equivalents were $430 million and short-term investments were $71 million, while total liquidity was approximately $1.5 billion.
- The company’s leverage ratio was 1.1, down from 1.2 at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
- Total inventories increased 58% on a dollar basis over prior year. The increase relative to Q3 was in-line with our expectations and primarily attributable to the U.S. ERP implementation which takes place in Q2 2023. Excluding the ERP build and goods in transit, the increase is approximately 35% over prior year. Core product represents more than two thirds of total inventories. We believe that Q4 inventory growth will be the high point and expect to bring inventory back to normal levels by the end of Q2.
Additional information regarding leverage ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided at the end of this press release.

In the fourth quarter, the company returned $82 million to shareholders, including:
- Dividends of $47 million, representing a dividend of $0.12 per share, up 47% from prior year, and

For the full year, the company returned $350 million to shareholders, up 84% year-over- year, including:

Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this press release and related conference call may not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated or, if no date is stated, as of the date of this press release and related conference call.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and the rules of the SEC. To supplement its financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A margin, Adjusted EBIT (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), Adjusted EBIT margin (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), Adjusted net income (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), Adjusted diluted earnings per share (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), constant-currency net revenues, net debt, leverage ratio, Adjusted free cash flow, and return on invested capital to provide investors with additional useful information about its financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by management for financial and operating decision-making. The company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing its financial performance from management's view and because it believes they provide an additional tool for investors to use in computing the company's core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in its industry. The tables found below present Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A margin, Adjusted EBIT (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), Adjusted EBIT margin (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), Adjusted net income (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), Adjusted diluted earnings per share (both reported and on a constant-currency basis), constant-currency net revenues, net debt, leverage ratio, Adjusted free cash flow, and return on invested capital and corresponding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Certain items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the company’s actual financial condition and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management in determining how they are formulated. Some specific limitations include but are not limited to, the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures: (a) do not reflect cash outlays for capital expenditures, contractual commitments or liabilities including pension obligations, post-retirement health benefit obligations and income tax liabilities; (b) do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital requirements; and (c) do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on indebtedness. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. See “RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES” below for reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP forward looking information to the corresponding GAAP measures cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the challenge in quantifying various items including but not limited to, the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, taxes, and any future restructuring, restructuring-related, severance and other charges.
Constant-currency
The company reports certain operating results on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the company's operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar into U.S. Dollars. Because the company is a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on its reported results. In general, the company's financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. Dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. Dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which it conducts its business. References to operating results on a constant-currency basis mean operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The company believes disclosure of constant-currency results is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of its results by increasing the transparency of the underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. However, constant-currency results are non-GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be read in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The company calculates constant-currency amounts by translating local currency amounts in the prior-year period at actual foreign exchange rates for the current period. Constant-currency results do not eliminate the transaction currency impact, which primarily include the realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized from the measurement and remeasurement of purchases and sales of products in a currency other than the functional currency. Additionally, Adjusted gross margin is impacted by gains and losses related to the procurement of inventory, primarily products sourced in EUR and USD, by our global sourcing organization on behalf of our foreign subsidiaries.

Net Debt and Leverage ratio:
We define net debt, as total debt, excluding finance leases, less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in marketable securities. We define leverage ratio, as the ratio of total debt to the last 12 months Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt and leverage ratio are not financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow:
In the second quarter of 2022, the definition of Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was revised to include net cash flow from operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Previously, we defined Adjusted free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, plus proceeds on settlement of forward foreign exchange contracts not designated for hedge accounting, less repurchases of common stock, tax withholdings on equity award exercises, and cash dividends to stockholders. We believe this is a more representative measure of our free cash flow, assists in the comparability of results, and is consistent with how management reviews performance. The table below includes the recast of prior period results. Additionally, we will provide updated non-GAAP reconciliations under this revised definition in future reports for the relevant prior year periods.

Return on Invested Capital:
We define Return on invested capital ("ROIC") as the trailing four quarters of Adjusted net income before interest and after taxes divided by the average trailing five quarters of total invested capital. We define total invested capital as total debt plus shareholders' equity less cash and short-term investments. We believe ROIC is useful to investors as it quantifies how efficiently we generated operating income relative to the capital we have invested in the business.
Our calculation of ROIC is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROIC using the non-GAAP metric Adjusted net income. Although ROIC is a standard financial metric, numerous methods exist for calculating a company's ROIC. As a result, the method we use to calculate our ROIC may differ from the methods used by other companies. This metric is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP.
The table below sets forth the calculation of ROIC for each of the periods presented.
