Isaac Dabah, CEO of Delta Galil, stated, “This was another strong quarter for Delta Galil, highlighted by record second-quarter DTC sales, growth in our Private Label sector, and significant expansion in profitability. Our strategic initiatives, aimed at enhancing operating efficiencies and realigning our manufacturing capabilities, have led to a record second-quarter gross margin of 41.9%, marking the fourth consecutive quarterly record of gross margin.”

Mr. Dabah added, “Within our branded business, we are particularly excited about the launch and expansion of key brands such as Florence by Mills and Organic Basics. These launches, amongst others, will position us for consistent, long-term growth. The continued strength of Delta Israel Brands, marked by a 23.2% year-over-year increase in second quarter retail same-store sales and the successful launch of Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret in Israel, underscores our growing momentum. Furthermore, our positive operating leverage, reflected in a 100-basis point year-over-year increase in EBIT before non-core margin to 8.0%, demonstrates our ability to balance short-term profitability with long-term strategic investments.”

Mr. Dabah concluded, “I am excited with the direction Delta is headed, as we benefit from a diversified portfolio and strategies focused on driving sustainable profitable growth. Our continuous commitment to product innovation continues to fuel growth for both our Private Label customers and our Brands, creating a powerful flywheel of market and consumer insights that we believe will continue to support profitable growth in both pillars.”

Sales

The Company reported second quarter 2024 sales of $471.4 million, a 6% increase from $443.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. First-half sales were $922.2 million, a 4% increase from $886.0 million in the prior-year period.

Gross Margin

The Company reported record second quarter gross margin of 41.9% as compared to 40.4% for the same period last year. The 150-basis point expansion was due primarily to a better segment and channel mix and improved profitability of our factories due to higher volume. Gross margin in the first half of 2024 increased by 240-basis points to a first half record of 42.1%, compared to 39.7% in the first half of 2023.

EBIT

EBIT in the second quarter of 2024 increased by 34% to $37.8 million, or 8.0% of sales compared to $28.2 million, or 6.4% of sales in the prior-year period. EBIT before non-core items increased by 22% to $37.8 million, or 8.0% of sales, compared to $30.9 million, or 7.0% of sales, in the second quarter of 2023.

EBIT in the first half of 2024 was $63.8 million, compared to $42.7 million in the same period last year. In the first half of 2024, EBIT before non-core items was $67.2 million, or 7% of sales, compared to $50.7 million, or 6% of sales, in the first half of 2023.

The increase in EBIT was due to higher sales and gross margin and leverage of effective operational structure partially offset by higher SG&A expenses derived directly from revenues growth as well as from investing in new licenses and brand's launch activities.

Non-Core Items

In the second quarter of 2024, no non-core items were recorded, compared to $6.0 million of expenses related to realignment plans, $4.0 million benefit from the change in the fair value of earn-out liability, and $0.7 million of deal costs in the second quarter of 2023. For the first half of 2024, expenses associated with the Company’s previously disclosed realignment plan for Bare Necessities were $3.4 million, compared to $11.4 million of expenses related to realignment plans, $4.0 benefit from the change in the fair value of earn-out liability, and $0.7 million of deal costs in the first half of 2023.

Net Income

Net income in the second quarter of 2024 increased 40% to $21.0 million, compared to $15.0 million in the second quarter last year. Net income, excluding non-core items, net of tax, increased by 27% to $21.0 million, compared to $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Net income in the first half of 2024 increased 83% to $33.1 million, compared to $18.1 million in the first half last year. Net income excluding non-core items, net of tax, increased 46% to $35.5 million, compared to $24.3 million in the first half of 2023.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2024 were $0.74, compared to $0.53 in the second quarter of 2023. Diluted earnings per share, excluding non-core items, net of tax, were $0.74 compared to $0.59 in the second quarter of 2023.

Diluted earnings per share in the first half of 2024 were $1.13, compared to $0.61 in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share, excluding non-core items, net of tax, were $1.22 compared to $0.85 in 2023.

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

EBITDA excluding IFRS 16 impact in the second quarter of 2024 was $46.5 million, compared to $38.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. In the first half of 2024, EBITDA excluding IFRS 16 impact was $84.2 million, compared to $66.5 million in the first half of 2023.

Cash flow generated from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, was $28.1 million, compared to $58.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Cash flow generated from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, was $51.5 million in the first half of 2024, compared to $69.3 million in the first half of 2023. The year-over-year reduction in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to changes in working capital, mainly inventory, to support the expected growth in sales in the second half of 2024.

Net financial debt, excluding IFRS 16, at June 30, 2024, was $153.3 million, compared to $189.5 million at June 30, 2023. The year-over-year reduction in net debt is primarily due to the strong operating cash flow, partially offset by growth-oriented capital expenditures and dividend payments.

Equity on June 30, 2024, was a record of $771.8 million, up 8.2% from $713.6 million on June 30, 2023.

Delta Galil declared a dividend of $8.0 million, or $0.31 per share, which will be distributed on September 4, 2024, with a record and “ex-dividend” date of August 27, 2024.
