NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF) today announced results for the second quarter ended July 29, 2023. These compare to results for the second quarter ended July 30, 2022. Descriptions of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures accompany this release.

Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our net sales and operating margin exceeded our expectations as global growth accelerated throughout the second quarter. We continue to see strong customer receptivity of our brands and product, led by 26% net sales growth in Abercrombie brands. To date, our efforts to evolve Hollister brands' positioning and assortment are paying off, achieving a return to net sales growth at positive 8% for the quarter. Both brands saw gross profit rate improvement on higher average unit retail and lower freight costs. Operating leverage from sales growth and gross profit rate performance contributed to an operating margin of 9.6%, a significant expansion from second quarter of 2022. These strong results showcase the power of our playbook and our team's ability to align product, voice, and experience to meet our customers' needs. Operationally, we are strategically managing inventory, leveraging chase capabilities to support demand, and driving efficiency across our business.

While the macro environment remains dynamic, our first half results give us confidence to stay on offense for the second half. Consistent with our Always Forward Plan, we are continuing to open stores and make critical long-term investments in digital and technology that will keep our brands in position to exceed our customers' expectations."

Details related to reported net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share for the second quarter are as follows:

			2023			2022
GAAP		$	1.10		$	(0.33	)
Excluded items, net of tax effect (1)			—			(0.03	)
Adjusted non-GAAP		$	1.10		$	(0.30	)
Impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates (2)			—			(0.02	)
Adjusted non-GAAP constant currency		$	1.10		$	(0.32	)

⁽¹⁾  Excluded items consist of pre-tax store asset impairment charges in the prior year.

⁽²⁾  The estimated impact from foreign currency is calculated by applying current period exchange rates to prior year results using a 26% tax rate.

A summary of results for the second quarter ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the second quarter ended July 30, 2022:

• Net sales of $935 million, up 16% as compared to last year on a reported basis and up 16% on a constant currency basis.
• Positive total company comparable sales of 13%.
• Gross profit rate of 62.5%, up approximately 460 basis points as compared to last year. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by a benefit of 400 basis points from year-over-year AUR growth and 340 basis points from lower freight costs partially offset by 180 basis points from higher cotton and raw material costs and 60 basis points from the adverse impact from foreign currency.
• Operating expense, excluding other operating income, net, up $30 million or 6% compared to last year, driven by increases in incentive compensation, store occupancy and technology expenses. Operating expense as a percentage of sales decreased to 53.2% from 58.0% last year. 
• Operating income of $90 million on a reported basis as compared to operating loss of $2 million and $0 million last year, on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively.

• Net income per diluted share of $1.10 on a reported basis as compared to net loss per diluted share last year of $0.33 and $0.30 on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively.

Financial Position and Liquidity

As of July 29, 2023 the company had:

• Cash and equivalents of $617 million. This compares to cash and equivalents of $518 million and $370 million as of January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.
• Inventories of $493 million, a decrease of 30% compared to July 30, 2022.
• Long-term gross borrowings under the company's senior secured notes of $300 million (the "Senior Secured Notes") which mature in July 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum.
• Borrowing available under the senior-secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") of $357 million.
• Liquidity, comprised of cash and equivalents and borrowing available under the ABL Facility, of approximately $974 million. This compares to liquidity of $866 million and $729 million as of January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.
  
  
  
  

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Details related to the company's cash flows for the year-to-date period ended July 29, 2023 are as follows:

• Net cash provided by operating activities of $216 million.
• Net cash used for investing activities of $90 million.
• Net cash used for financing activities of $23 million.
  
  
  
  

Depreciation and amortization was $72 million for the year-to-date period ended July 29, 2023.

Fiscal 2023 Full Year Outlook

The following outlook replaces all previous full year guidance. For fiscal 2023, the company now expects:

• Net sales growth of around 10% from $3.7 billion in 2022. This is an increase to the previous outlook of up 2% to 4%. The current outlook assumes that Abercrombie brands will continue to outperform Hollister brands. Also, fiscal 2023 includes a 53rd week for reporting purposes, along with net store expansion. The 53rd week is estimated to add approximately $45 million to total net sales in the fourth quarter and full year of 2023.
• Operating margin to be in the range of 8% to 9%. This range improves from the previous outlook of 5% to 6%. The current outlook includes a benefit of around 250 basis points from full year 2022 levels on expected net improvement in freight and raw material costs, and modest operating expense leverage with sales growth expected to more than offset higher expenses from the combination of inflation and increased investments for the 2025 Always Forward Plan initiatives, including an upgrade of our retail merchandising ERP system.
• Effective tax rate to be in the low-to-mid 30s. This replaces the previous outlook of high-30s. The current outlook assumes the continued inability to realize benefits on certain expected tax losses incurred outside of the U.S., although to a lesser extent than the prior outlook provided.
• Capital expenditures of approximately $160 million.

Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Outlook

For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the company expects:

• Net sales growth to be up low double-digits compared to fiscal third quarter 2022 level of $880 million. Included in this outlook is the expected benefit of approximately 140 basis points from foreign currency.
• Operating margin to be in the range of 8% to 10% compared to an adjusted operating margin of 2.4% in Q3 2022. We expect the year-over-year improvement to be driven by a higher gross profit rate on lower freight costs and higher AURs and modest operating expense leverage on higher sales.
• Effective tax rate to be in the mid-30s. This outlook assumes the continued inability to realize benefits on certain expected tax losses incurred outside of the U.S.

Reporting and Use of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

The company believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented are useful to investors as they provide a measure of the company's operating performance excluding the effect of certain items which the company believes do not reflect its future operating outlook, such as asset impairment charges, therefore supplementing investors' understanding of comparability of operations across periods. Management used these non-GAAP financial measures during the periods presented to assess the company's performance and to develop expectations for future operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be used supplemental to, and not as an alternative to, the company's GAAP financial results, and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies.

In addition, at times the company provides comparable sales, defined as the percentage year-over-year change in the aggregate of: (1) sales for stores that have been open as the same brand at least one year and whose square footage has not been expanded or reduced by more than 20% within the past year, with prior year's net sales converted at the current year's foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation, and (2) digital net sales with prior year's net sales converted at the current year's foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation.

The company also provides certain financial information on a constant currency basis to enhance investors' understanding of underlying business trends and operating performance, by removing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year results and is net of the year-over-year impact from hedging. The per diluted share effect from foreign currency is calculated using a 26% tax rate.
