    Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE:WWW) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2025.

    "Our results in the first quarter are further proof of the effectiveness of our strategy and the team's execution," said Chris Hufnagel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wolverine Worldwide. "Merrell and Saucony fueled our growth with double-digit revenue increases, and we more than tripled our earnings year-over-year, again delivering a record gross margin performance. We've worked to reinvent Wolverine Worldwide for the future – focusing squarely on awesome product, amazing stories, and driving the business. While there's uncertainty in the marketplace today, I'm excited by the momentum we've generated, and I believe we're well positioned with great global brands, a variety of strategic and operational advantages, and most importantly, a talented and resilient team to navigate the near-term challenges and emerge an even better company."

    FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

    Financial results for 2025, and comparable results from 2024, in each case, for our ongoing business exclude the results of the Sperry business, which was sold in January 2024. Tables have been provided in the back of this release showing the impact of these adjustments our financial results.

    Gross margin improved significantly due to a healthier sales mix, lower promotional activity and the benefit of supply chain cost initiatives.

    Inventory at the end of the quarter was $271 million, down $84 million, or approximately 23.6%, compared to the prior year.

    Net Debt at the end of the quarter was $604 million, down $83 million, or approximately 12.1%, compared to the prior year.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 OUTLOOK

    Following a strong financial performance in the first quarter, the outlook for the second quarter reflects expectations for continued momentum in the business.

    • Revenue to be approximately $440 million to $450 million, representing growth of approximately 3.7% to 6.0% compared to the second quarter of 2024 ongoing business and constant currency growth of approximately 3.4% to 5.7%.
    • Operating margin to be approximately 6.7%, down 10 basis points compared to second quarter 2024 operating margin, and adjusted operating margin to be approximately 7.2%, up 90 basis points compared to second quarter 2024 adjusted operating margin for our ongoing business.
    • Diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.17 to $0.22 and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.19 to $0.24.
    • Diluted weighted average shares of approximately 81.1 million.

    FULL-YEAR 2025 OUTLOOK

    Due to uncertainty around tariffs and related macro-economic conditions, the Company is not providing a full-year 2025 outlook at this time and is withdrawing its 2025 guidance issued on February 19, 2025.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    Measures referred to in this release as "adjusted" financial results and the financial results of the "ongoing business" are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted financial results exclude environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs, costs associated with divestitures and other costs not related to the Company's ongoing business. The financial results of the ongoing business exclude financial results from the Sperry 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 7:30 a.m. ET 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) 2025 adjustments reflect 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, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs, costs associated with divestitures and other costs not related to the Company's ongoing business were excluded. The financial results of the ongoing business for 2024 exclude financial results from the Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business. 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.
