Wolverine Worldwide Reports First Quarter Results In-Line With Guidance and Reaffirms Full-Year 2023 Outlook

Portfolio optimization efforts continue - now exploring strategic alternatives for Sperry

Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE: WWW) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 1, 2023.

“We are pleased with delivering first quarter results in line with guidance which included 15% constant currency revenue growth from our Active Group," said Brendan Hoffman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Earnings results slightly exceeded our expectations and we made progress on reducing inventory. Our first quarter performance and initiatives we have in place position us to reaffirm our full-year outlook despite a challenging environment.”

Commenting on portfolio optimization, Hoffman noted, "We need to focus our efforts and investments on our Active and Work Groups, specifically our growth brands - Merrell, Saucony and Sweaty Betty. The recent sale of Keds and pending licensing of Hush Puppies will enable this focus, and these transitions are well underway. We are now exploring strategic alternatives for Sperry while we continue the foundational work needed to position the brand for long-term success."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

Financial results and guidance for 2023, and comparable results from 2022 for our ongoing business exclude the impact of Keds, which was sold in February 2023, and Wolverine Leathers, which is the subject of a sale process, and reflect an adjustment for the transition of our Hush Puppies North America business to a licensing model in the second half of 2023. Tables have been provided in the back of this release showing the impact of these adjustments on operating results for 2022 and 2021 assuming these events occurred on the first day of the relevant period. For visibility regarding this impact on our 2023 operating results, we will report actual results reflecting our ongoing businesses and separately report results for Keds, which will be limited to the period through February 3, 2023 and Wolverine Leathers to the extent we own and operate the business.

Revenue of $599.4 million declined 2.5% versus the prior year and declined 0.5% on a constant currency basis. Revenue from the ongoing business was $580.4 million representing constant currency growth of 2.9%.

The Company's international business was especially strong, up 12.6% or 18.0% on a constant currency basis to $249.7 million. Direct-to-Consumer revenue from the ongoing business of $124.9 million was down 7.7% compared to the prior year and down 4.4% on a constant currency basis.

Gross margin was 39.4% compared to 42.5% in the prior year reflecting the sale of higher-cost inventory due to transitory supply chain costs from 2022, the acceleration of end-of-life inventory liquidation, and increased promotions.

Selling, General & Administrative expenses were $191.0 million, net of a $20.1 million gain on the divestiture of the Keds business. Adjusted SG&A expenses of $202.7 million or 34.9% of adjusted revenue, were 45 basis points lower than the prior year.

Inventory at the end of the quarter was $725.9 million which excludes $11.2 million for held-for-sale business. Inventory was down approximately $19.0 million sequentially from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net Debt at the end of the quarter was $1.06 billion, and liquidity was approximately $670 million. The Company's bank-defined leverage ratio was 2.8x.

FULL-YEAR 2023 OUTLOOK

"During the first quarter, we saw supply chain and working capital improvements in the business,” said Mike Stornant, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Importantly, we also gained more certainty on current-year cost savings from Profit Improvement Office actions and we remain on track to deliver the earnings improvements planned for this year. The trading environment is challenging, but the diversity of our portfolio and its global reach is expected to help mitigate those challenges. As a result, we are reaffirming revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal 2023.”

  • Revenue from our ongoing business is expected to be in the range of $2.53 billion to $2.58 billion, representing growth of approximately 0.0% to 2.0% and constant currency growth of approximately 1.0% to 3.0%.
  • Gross margin is expected to be approximately 41.3% and adjusted gross margin is expected to be approximately 42.0%
  • Operating margin is expected to be approximately 8.7%, and adjusted operating margin is expected to be approximately 8.5%
  • The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 21.0%.
  • Diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $1.50 to $1.70 and adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $1.40 to $1.60. These full-year EPS expectations include an approximate $0.14 negative impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
  • Diluted weighted average shares are expected to be approximately 79.3 million.
  • Inventory is expected to improve by approximately $225 million by the end of the year

This outlook assumes no meaningful deterioration of current market conditions related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, changes in consumer behavior and confidence and geopolitical tensions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Measures referred to in this release as “adjusted” financial results are non-GAAP measures that exclude environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, gain on the divestiture of the Keds business, reorganization costs and financial results from the Keds business and Wolverine Leathers business. The Company also presents constant currency information, which is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company calculates constant currency basis by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's current period reported results. The Company believes providing each of these non-GAAP measures provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance.

The Company has provided a reconciliation of each of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors because they increase the comparability of current period results to prior period results by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of core operating results and enable better identification of trends in our business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on a comparable basis. Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EARNINGS CALL INFORMATION

The Company will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. EST to discuss these results and current business trends. The conference call will be broadcast live and accessible under the “Investor Relations” tab at www.wolverineworldwide.com. A replay of the conference call will be available on the Company’s website for a period of approximately 30 days.

(1) 2023 adjustments reflect financial results for the Keds® business and Wolverine Leathers.

(2) 2023 adjustments reflect estimated gain from the sale of the Keds® business partially offset by estimated environmental and other related costs net of recoveries and reorganization costs.

 

* To supplement the consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company describes what certain financial measures would have been if environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, gain on the divestiture of the Keds business, reorganization costs and financial results from the Keds business and Wolverine Leathers business were excluded. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by increasing comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core ongoing operating business results and to better identify trends in the Company's ongoing business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on a comparable basis.

The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance. The Company calculates constant currency by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's current period reported results.

Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitution for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are found in the financial tables above.

The supplemental information included below about transitory supply chain expenses and profit improvement initiative savings are intended to show the quarterly timing of the impact of these items. The transitory costs are more prominent in the first half of the year and the cost savings are more prominent in the back half the year.
