Sales

The Company reported record third quarter 2024 sales of $524.2 million, a 13% increase from $463.0 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Sales for the nine-month period of 2024 were $1,446.4 million, a 7% increase from $1,349.1 million in the prior-year period.

Gross Margin

The Company reported a record third quarter gross margin of 41.6% as compared to 40.9% for the same period last year. The 70-basis point expansion was due primarily to higher volume and improved efficiency of our factories as well as a more favorable channel mix.

Gross margin in the nine months of 2024 increased by 180-basis points to 41.9%, compared to 40.1% in the prior-year period.

EBIT

EBIT in the third quarter of 2024 increased by 13% to $52.3 million, or 10.0% of sales compared to $46.1 million, in the prior-year period.

EBIT in the nine months of 2024 was $116.1 million, or 8.0% of sales, compared to $88.8 million, or 6.6% of sales in the same period last year. EBIT before non-core items in the nine months of 2024 was $119.4 million, or 8.3% of sales, compared to $96.9 million, or 7.2% of sales, in the nine months of 2023.

The increase in EBIT was due to higher sales and gross margin, partially offset by some SG&A cost for investing in new licenses and brand launch activities, as well as lower other income in 2024 which included $3.8 million insurance refund back in 2023.

Non-Core Items

The Company recorded no non-core items in its third quarters of 2024 and 2023.

In the first nine months 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 nine months of 2023.

Net Income

Net income in the third quarter of 2024 increased 9% to $32.0 million, compared to $29.5 million in the third quarter last year.

Net income in the nine months of 2024 increased 37% to $65.1 million, compared to $47.6 million in the same period last year. Net income excluding non-core items, net of tax, increased 26% to $67.6 million, compared to $53.8 million in the first nine months of 2023.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2024 were $1.16, compared to $1.09 in the third quarter of 2023.

Diluted earnings per share in the nine months of 2024 were $2.29, compared to $1.71 in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share, excluding non-core items, net of tax, were $2.39 in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $1.94 in the same period of 2023.

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

EBITDA, excluding IFRS 16, in the third quarter of 2024 was $60.5 million, compared to $53.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. In the nine months of 2024, EBITDA, excluding IFRS 16, was $144.7 million, compared to $119.7 million in the nine months of 2023.

Cash flow generated from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, was $37.2 million, compared to $30.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Cash flow generated from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, was $88.8 million in the nine months of 2024, compared to $99.6 million in the nine months of 2023. The year-over-year reduction in nine-month operating cash flow was primarily attributable to changes in working capital, mainly inventory, to support expected sales growth and new product launches.

Net financial debt, excluding IFRS 16, at September 30, 2024, was $162.5 million, compared to $178.0 million at September 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 September 30, 2024, was a record of $797.8 million, up 10% from $725.8 million on September 30, 2023.

Delta Galil declared a dividend of $8.1 million, or $0.31 per share, which will be distributed on December 10, 2024, with a record and “ex-dividend” date of November 27, 2024.
