(DELT/Tel Aviv Stock Exchange), the global manufacturer and marketer of branded and private label intimate, activewear, loungewear and denim apparel for men, women and children, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

  • Sales decreased 9% (6% in constant currency) to $442.5 million

Isaac Dabah, CEO of Delta Galil, stated, “Our first quarter performance was in line with our 2023 plan and expectations. During the quarter, we increased direct-to-consumer sales across both our own websites and our stores. In addition, we managed to reduce our inventory for the second consecutive quarter, while achieving a record first quarter gross margin, despite the heavily promotional retail landscape. We believe these positive trends demonstrate the strength of our brands and customers, and the resiliency of our business model. We continue to focus on further streamlining our operations, strengthening our supply chain, and expanding our product portfolio to meet evolving consumer demands.”

Mr. Dabah continued, “We believe we will see growth in sales and profitability in the second half of the year driven by a solid pipeline of new customers and licenses, as well as multiple new brand launches, including a new collection for the recently acquired Organic Basics."

“We believe we are well positioned to navigate the current market environment, while streamlining our operations and investing in strategic growth opportunities. In the first quarter, we generated $11.0 million in operating cash flow, excluding IFRS 16, and ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet and an equity position of over $700 million. We are proud of our exceptional team that drives our success by upholding our commitment to extraordinary innovation, design, and thought leadership,” concluded Mr. Dabah.

Sales

The Company reported first quarter 2023 sales of $442.5 million, a 9% decrease (6% in constant currency) from $483.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the first quarter of 2023 increased to a first-quarter record of 39.1%, compared to 37.9% in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to better customer, channel and segment mix and lower freight costs, partially offset by negative foreign currency impacts, higher discounts, and loss of cost economies from lower production volumes.

EBIT

EBIT in first quarter 2023 was $14.4 million compared to $34.2 million last year. EBIT before non-core items (detailed below) in first quarter 2023 was $19.8 million compared to $34.2 million last year.

Non-Core Items

As part of the Company's strategic focus to improve its production flexibility, capabilities and competitiveness, and to further streamline its operations, the Company approved a restructuring plan which includes actions to:

- shut down the Bare Necessities distribution center and transition to a third-party fulfillment center in Mexico,
- relocate its Egypt cut and sew operations from Cairo to El-Minya,
- shut down its socks production facility in Bulgaria, moving production to a new facility in Egypt, and
- implement efficiency measures in the Company’s 7 for All Mankind segment.

Total cost of the plan--included in first quarter results as a non-core item--amounted to $5.4 million (including a $3.9 million cash impact). The Company estimates annual savings from the plan at approximately $7 million, a portion of which will be realized in 2023.

Net Income

Net income for first quarter 2023 was $3.0 million, compared to $18.9 million in the first quarter last year. Net income excluding non-core items, net of tax, was $7.8 million, compared to $18.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share for first quarter 2023 decreased to $0.08, from $0.67 in the first quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s shareholders, excluding non-core items, net of tax, were $0.26, compared to $0.67 in first quarter 2022.

EBITDA, Cash Flow, Net Debt, Equity, and Dividend

EBITDA excluding IFRS 16 impact for first quarter 2023 was $28.5 million, compared to $42.6 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Cash flow generated by operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, increased to $11.0 million for first quarter 2023, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of ($52.6) million in the first quarter of 2022. The significant year-over-year improvement in operating cash flow can be primarily attributed to the reduction in inventory levels.

Net financial debt at March 31, 2023 was $224.0 million, compared to $217.4 million at December 31, 2022, and $172.4 million at March 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase in net debt is primarily due to capital expenditures and dividend payments, partially offset by cash flow generated by operating activities.

Equity at March 31, 2023 was $703.1 million, up 8% from $651.7 million at March 31, 2022.

Delta Galil declared a dividend of $4 million, or $0.156 per share, to be distributed on June 6, 2023. The record and “ex-dividend” date will be May 24, 2023.

2023 Financial Guidance

The Company’s first quarter results were in line with its expectations and plan. Delta Galil now expects to meet the lower end of its prior 2023 guidance range. The Company’s guidance excludes non-core items, includes IFRS 16, and is based on exchange rates of 1.10 USD to 1 Euro and 3.55 NIS to 1 USD:
