On Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results, and The Filing of Its Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2022

  • On achieves strong full-year results in 2022, reaching net sales of CHF 1,222.1 million, surpassing the CHF 1 billion mark for the first time in history and growing by 68.7% year-over-year. The company reports a gross profit margin of 56.0%, net income of CHF 57.7 million, a net income margin of 4.7%, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.5%, showcasing On's commitment to managing the company for long-term, sustainable growth and profitability.
  • On reports fourth quarter net sales of CHF 366.8 million, growing by 91.9% year-over-year, driven by an exceptional underlying full-price demand throughout the holiday season across regions and channels.
  • On's gross profit margin in Q4 2022 reached 58.5%, continuing the sequential improvement over the 2022 quarters and reflecting a normalization of operations to return to sea freight as the main mode of shipment.
  • The ongoing exceptional demand for On's products, the strong product pipeline and multi-channel success gives the company confidence for achieving strong results in 2023. On the back of this, On anticipates reaching net sales of at least CHF 1.7 billion, a gross profit margin of approximately 58.5% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.0% for the full year 2023.
  • On continues to drive run culture with the launch of the global event series "On Track Nights", the unveiling of innovative technologies such as the next phase of CloudTec®, CloudTec Phase™, and the signing of reigning Olympic Champion triathlete Kristian Blummenfelt. In addition, On is taking its head-to-toe innovations to the tennis courts and has announced the signing of top-ranked tennis professionals, including women's number one ranked player, Iga Świątek.

ZURICH--()--On Holding AG (NYSE: ONON) (“On,” “On Holding AG,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us”) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year, and that it has filed its annual report on Form 20-F (the "Form 20-F") for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Martin Hoffmann, Co-CEO and CFO of On, said: “After a great year and exceptionally strong fourth quarter well beyond our own expectations, we are heading into 2023 with a lot of momentum and in a position of strength. After navigating through a challenging 2022, including supply shortages, tight production capacities and disruption of global trade lanes, we are looking forward to a great year with largely normalized operations. We have made significant progress in many areas in the 18 months since our IPO, which will set us up for ongoing success and market share gains. The rollout of our new website, the purchase of the on.com domain, our latest owned retail store in London and the next phase of CloudTec®, CloudTec Phase™, are only a selection of recent drivers that excite us about the opportunities which lie ahead. With the Paris Olympics in 2024 as an important medium term target, we will continue to invest in both our athlete team as well as pinnacle products at the forefront of innovation."

David Allemann, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chairman of On, said: “We have often spoken about our commitment to drive growth while at the same time driving profitability. Finishing our first full year as a public company with net sales exceeding CHF 1.2 billion and a net income of CHF 57.7 million is a huge testament to the incredible work that our team continues to do every day. We are thrilled to see how our continued innovations are supporting the expansion into new consumer groups and are building our community of fans and incredible athletes. Running will continue to be our focus in 2023, but we are also extremely excited to announce On is increasing its presence on the tennis court too. We are honored that the women's world number one ranked player, Iga Świątek, and America's newest men's sensation, Ben Shelton, are joining the On team on this journey."

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital are non-IFRS measures used by us to evaluate our performance. Furthermore, we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital measures enhance investor understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period because they enhance the comparability of results between each period, help identify trends in operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how management evaluates the business. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. For a detailed description and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure, see the section below titled “Non-IFRS Measures”.

Outlook

On finished the 2022 financial year on a high note and with a further record net sales quarter. The exceptional ongoing momentum across all regions, channels and product groups, combined with a normalization of product supply and significantly improved inventory position versus twelve months ago, has set On up to hit the ground running in 2023. Compared to a supply constrained first quarter of 2022, On expects a net sales growth rate of 61% in the first quarter of 2023 versus the prior year period.

In line with On's mission and strategic focus to build a brand that is set up for the long-term by emphasizing controlled and durable growth, On expects to reach net sales of at least CHF 1.7 billion for the full year 2023. This represents a year-over-year growth rate of 39%, which takes into account approximately 300 basis points of the current foreign exchange headwinds and therefore reflects a currency-neutral growth rate of 42%.

As a result of the normalized supply chain environment, On currently does not expect exceptional air freight usage in 2023. Together with a strong inflow of recent products, which will enable a continued high share of full price sell-through, On foresees the continuation of the gross profit margin expansion towards the stated mid-term target of 60%. Considering current FX rates, On currently anticipates a full year 2023 gross profit margin of approximately 58.5%. Driven by ongoing scale gains in SG&A expenses, somewhat offset by an intended re-acceleration of marketing expenses, On expects its adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2023 to increase to 15%.

Other than with respect to IFRS net-sales and gross profit margin, On only provides guidance on a non-IFRS basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. As a result, we are not able to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a reconciliation to net income. The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including those stated below and in our filings with the SEC.

Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital are financial measures that are not defined under IFRS.

We use these non-IFRS measures when evaluating our performance, including when making financial and operating decisions, and as a key component in the determination of variable incentive compensation for employees. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, these non-IFRS measures enhance investor understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period, because they enhance the comparability of results between each period, help identify trends in operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how management evaluates the business. In particular, we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and net working capital are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the sportswear industry.

However, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. The tables below reconcile each non-IFRS measure to its directly comparable IFRS measure.

As noted above, we do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected net income being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this news release.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS

We use adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS as measures of operating performance in conjunction with related IFRS measures.

Adjusted basic EPS is used in conjunction with other non-IFRS measures and excludes certain items (as listed below) in order to increase comparability of the metric from period to period, which we believe makes it useful for management, our audit committee and investors to assess our financial performance over time.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period on a fully diluted basis. For the purpose of operational performance measurement, we calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS in a manner that fully excludes the impact of any costs related to share-based compensation and includes the tax effect on the tax deductible portion of the non-IFRS adjustments. In 2021, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS also exclude transaction costs relating to our IPO.

The tax effect has been calculated by applying the local tax rate on the tax deductible portion of the respective adjustments.

(4)

Weighted number of outstanding shares (diluted and undiluted) are presented herein in order to calculate adjusted basic EPS as adjusted Net Income for such periods.

(5)

Original share numbers have been multiplied by 1,250 to give effect to the Share Capital Reorganization that took place in 2021.

(6)

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, 8,248,683 shares and 8,329,740 shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for Class A ordinary shares and Class B voting rights shares, respectively, as the impact of the shares are considered anti-dilutive.

Net Working Capital

Net working capital is a financial measure that is not defined under IFRS. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts, use this information to assess liquidity and management use of net working capital resources. We define net working capital as trade receivables, plus inventories, minus trade payables. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS.

Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
