Vince Holding Corp. Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2021 Results

Vince Holding Corp. (NYSE:VNCE), a leading global contemporary group (“Vince” or the “Company”), today reported its financial results for the third quarter 2021 ended October 30, 2021.

In this press release, the Company is presenting its historical financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as well as on an "adjusted" basis. Adjusted results presented in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for more information about the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures and Exhibit 3 to this press release for a reconciliation of GAAP measures to such non-GAAP measures.

Highlights for the third quarter ended October 30, 2021:

  • Net sales increased 26.7% to $87.5 million as compared to $69.0 million in the same period last year reflecting a 27.3% increase in Vince brand sales and a 22.0% increase in Rebecca Taylor and Parker.
  • Gross margin rate was 48.2% compared to 45.9% in the same period last year.
  • Income from operations was $3.1 million compared to income from operations of $6.3 million in the same period last year.
  • Net income was $2.2 million or $0.18 per diluted share compared to a net income of $5.0 million or $0.42 per diluted share in the same period last year.

Jack Schwefel, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter performance reflects the ongoing strength in our Vince brand. Product and engagement continue to resonate with customers, and although we are facing challenges to our supply chain, our strong brand equity and high customer demand demonstrate the long-term opportunity of this brand. As we head into the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, we remain focused on building out our e-commerce capabilities, enhancing our marketing strategies, and accelerating growth in the men’s business and in international markets. At Rebecca Taylor, with the reset now complete, we are encouraged by the progress being made and remain focused on enhancing full price selling and establishing margin-healthy growth strategies.”

For the third quarter ended October 30, 2021:

  • Total Company net sales increased 26.7% to $87.5 million compared to $69.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
  • Gross profit was $42.1 million, or 48.2% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $31.7 million, or 45.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in the gross margin rate was primarily due to lower promotional activity in the direct-to-consumer channel, and lower year-over-year adjustments to inventory reserves, partially offset by higher freight costs.
  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $39.0 million, or 44.6% of sales, compared to $25.4 million, or 36.8% of sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily the result of landlord rent concessions received in the third quarter of last year, higher payroll and compensation expense, and increased investments in marketing.
  • Income from operations was $3.1 million compared to income from operations of $6.3 million in the same period last year.
  • Income tax benefit was $2.1 million as a result of an annual non-cash deferred tax expense created by the amortization of indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets for tax but not for book purposes, and the impact in the quarter of a change in the Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate thereon.
  • Net income was $2.2 million or $0.18 per diluted share compared to a net income of $5.0 million or $0.42 per diluted share in the same period last year. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 includes $1.5 million of expense related to the termination of the 2018 Term Loan Facility.
  • The Company ended the quarter with 83 company-operated Vince and Rebecca Taylor stores, a net increase of 13 stores since the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Vince Third Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales increased 27.3% to $78.4 million as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
  • Wholesale segment sales increased 10.0% to $42.6 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
  • Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 56.5% to $35.7 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
  • Income from operations excluding unallocated corporate expenses was $18.1 million compared to income of $15.9 million in the same period last year.

Rebecca Taylor and Parker Third Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales increased 22.0% to $9.1 million as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
  • Loss from operations was $3.1 million compared to a loss from operations of $1.9 million in the same period last year.

* Unallocated corporate expenses are related to the Vince brand and are comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to corporate and administrative activities (such as marketing, design, finance, information technology, legal and human resource departments), and other charges that are not directly attributable to the Company’s Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer reportable segments.

Balance Sheet

At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, total borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements totaled $95.9 million and the Company had $49.1 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.

Net inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $82.0 million compared to $88.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020. As a reminder, the Company continued to work through an increase in seasonal inventory levels in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 through promotions, outlet stores, and the off-price channel. As a result of the actions taken to work through prior seasonal product, the healthier inventory levels also reflect an improved balance of newness.

The shelf registration and ATM program remain in place and unused as sources, along with cash from operations, to fund future growth.

2021 Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call

A conference call to discuss the third quarter results will be held today, December 9, 2021, at 4:30 p.m. ET, hosted by Vince Holding Corp. Chief Executive Officer, Jack Schwefel, and Chief Financial Officer, David Stefko. During the conference call, the Company may make comments concerning business and financial developments, trends and other business or financial matters. The Company's comments, as well as other matters discussed during the conference call, may contain or constitute information that has not been previously disclosed.

Those who wish to participate in the call may do so by dialing (833) 392-0629, conference ID 7799295. Any interested party will also have the opportunity to access the call via the Internet at http://investors.vince.com/.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided, with respect to financial results relating to nine months ended October 31, 2020, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted other income (expense), adjusted income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share, which are non-GAAP measures, in order to eliminate the effect of non-cash asset impairment charges and the TRA adjustment. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures facilitates an understanding of the Company's continuing operations without the impact associated with the aforementioned items. While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are excluded from the indicated financial information due to their impact on the comparability of earnings across periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Exhibit 3 to this press release.
