GOOS Canada Goose Holdings Inc

Revenue increased 6% year-over-year to $609.9 million

Reported net income of $131.4 million

Adjusted EBIT6 of $207.2 million

Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (NYSE, TSX: GOOS), a global performance luxury and lifestyle brand, announced today financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, which ended December 31, 2023, and an updated outlook for fiscal 2024. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

“Our third quarter results were in line with our guidance, highlighted by progress across our strategic priorities, including robust growth in the Asia Pacific region, increased revenue across categories, with particular strength in apparel, the delivery of elevated experiences across all touch points, and increased efficiencies driven by our transformation initiatives,” said Dani Reiss, Chairman and CEO of Canada Goose. “While we continue to operate in a challenging consumer spending environment, we are encouraged by our holiday performance, which saw record traffic levels and strong revenue generated during key consumer moments. We remain confident in our strategy and our ability to capitalize on the unique heritage of our iconic, luxury brand to deliver long-term profitable growth.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Highlights1:

• Total revenue increased 6% to $609.9m compared to the prior year period, up 5% on a constant currency basis2.
  • DTC revenue grew 14% to $514.0m, up 14% on a constant currency basis2, driven by growth of in-store retail sales. Sales from DTC channels increased as part of the total revenue mix to 84% from 78% in the same reporting period last year. DTC comparable sales3 decreased 1.6% year-over-year due to lower e-commerce sales, partially offset by higher comparable in-store sales compared to the same period in the prior year.
  • Wholesale revenue decreased (28)% or (30)% on a constant currency basis2 primarily due to a planned lower order book value resulting from lower orders from existing customers, compared to the same period in the prior year, and the ongoing streamlining of wholesale relationships as we optimize for greater DTC sales. In addition, we estimated higher returns from our wholesale partners as we proactively manage our inventory.
  • Revenue grew by 62% year-over-year in Asia Pacific with higher sales across all channels. Revenue was down (26)% in EMEA4 and (14)% in North America year-over-year primarily due to the decline in e-commerce and wholesale revenue, partially offset by contribution from new stores.
• Gross profit grew 8% to $449.7m, compared to the prior year period. Gross margin for the quarter expanded to 73.7% compared to 72.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to pricing, partially offset by higher product costs due to input cost inflation.
• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)5 expenses were $250.9m, compared to $225.7m in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to our expanded retail network and set-up costs related to our Transformation Program.
• Operating lncome5 was $198.8m, compared to $190.7m in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was attributable to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A costs.
• Adjusted EBIT5,6 was $207.2m, compared to $197.1m in the prior year period.
• Net Income attributable to shareholders was $130.6m, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared with a net income attributable to shareholders of $134.9m, or $1.28 per diluted share in the prior year period.
• Adjusted net income to shareholders6 was $138.6m, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net income of $134.5m, or $1.27 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Inventory of $478.4m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, was relatively flat compared to the third quarter ended January 1, 2023.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased 3,609,932 subordinate voting shares under its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB) for a total cash consideration of $56.6M, ending the quarter with a cash balance of $154.3m, compared with $344.2m at third quarter ended January 1, 2023.

The Company renewed its NCIB in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, providing for the purchase for cancellation of up to 4,980,505 subordinate voting shares over the 12-month period commencing on November 22, 2023 and ending on November 21, 2024, representing approximately 10% of subordinate voting shares comprising the public float determined in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange as at November 10, 2023.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Business Highlights

During the third quarter, Canada Goose continued to engage and drive brand desirability with consumers globally through the holiday shopping season through elevated shopping experiences, product collaborations, and a stylish and functional product assortment. Notable business highlights from our third quarter included the following:

• Driving consumer-focused growth
  • Launched our second collaboration with BAPE, which has been the fastest selling collaboration year-to-date in fiscal 2024. We also executed collaborations with Pyer Moss, Concepts, OVO, Giants of Africa and the Shoe Surgeon to drive brand heat.
  • Delivered a strong Black Friday long holiday shopping weekend, with record store traffic and a more than 40% increase in revenue over the comparable holiday shopping period in 2022.
  • Expanded our travel retail footprint, entering South Korea, following the opening of the travel retail store in Frankfurt in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

• Building the DTC network
  • Opened two permanent stores, in New Jersey's American Dream mall, and in Kobe, Japan, and converted one temporary store to permanent in New York City, bringing the total permanent store count to 65 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024. In January, we opened a permanent store in Nanjing, China.

• Product expansion
  • Non-Heavyweight Down category grew year-over-year in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, expanding its share of revenue within the overall mix. Within non-Heavyweight Down, apparel was our fastest growing category, increasing across all key markets.
  • Acquired Paola Confectii, a manufacturing partner in luxury knitwear, marking our first European manufacturing facility. This acquisition supports the company’s strategic objective of expanding existing categories by deepening in-house product expertise.

Fiscal 2024 Full Year and Q4 Outlook8

The outlook that follows supersedes all prior financial outlook statements made by Canada Goose, constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. The purpose of this outlook is to provide a description of management's expectations regarding the Company's annual financial performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond Canada Goose’s control. Please see "Forward-looking Statements" below for more information.

Based on quarter-to-date trends, Canada Goose expects the following for fourth quarter fiscal 2024:

• Total revenue between $310m and $330m.
• Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT between $14m and $27m.
• Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share between $0.02 and $0.13.

For fiscal 2024, we expect:

• Total revenue between $1.285b and $1.305b, compared to previous guidance of $1.2b to $1.4b.
• Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT between $146m and $158m, representing a margin of between 11% and 12%, compared to previous guidance of non-IFRS adjusted EBIT of $135m to $225m, representing a margin of 11% to 16%.
• Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share between $0.82 and $0.92, compared to previous guidance of $0.60 to $1.40.

Our outlook now includes the following assumptions:

• DTC revenue as a percentage of total revenue of approximately 70%, representing a low-single-digit decrease to a low-single-digit increase in year-over-year DTC comparable sales growth, and continued channel expansion.
• Wholesale revenue growth to decrease by a high-teens percentage rate year-over-year, reflective of the continued editing of our wholesale door count, returns from wholesale partners, revised re-order expectations, and expansion of our retail store network.
• Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue to be in the high 60s, with DTC and wholesale gross margins in the mid 70s and low 50s, respectively.
• Three permanent stores planned in the fourth quarter, bringing the total permanent store count to 68 at the end of the fiscal year.
• SG&A expense to grow at a mid-teens percentage rate on a year-over-year basis due to a larger DTC network and operating cost base, moderated by cost savings initiatives, including approximately $15m in savings from the Transformation Program in fiscal 2024.
• Effective tax rate in the high teens as a percentage of income before taxes for fiscal 2024.
• Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 101.7m for fiscal 2024, reflecting share buy backs executed year-to-date and assumed dilution effective of outstanding share-based payments.

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. These financial measures are not defined under IFRS nor do they replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Additional information, including definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measure can be found in our MD&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 under “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures. Such reconciliations can also be found in this press release under “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and, in the case of constant currency revenue, under “Revenue”.

This press release also includes DTC comparable sales growth which is a supplementary financial measure defined as sales on a constant currency basis from e-Commerce sites and stores which have been operating for one full year (12 successive fiscal months). The measure excludes store sales from both periods for the specific trading days when the stores were closed, whether those closures occurred in the current period or the comparative period.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures

The tables below reconcile net income to adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company for the periods indicated. Adjusted EBIT margin is equal to adjusted EBIT for the period presented as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, foreign exchange gains and losses related to the term loan, net of hedging, are now reflected in the presentation of net interest, finance and other costs, which was previously presented in SG&A expenses. Comparable periods have been reclassified to reflect this change.

__________________________________ 1 Comparisons to third quarter ended January 1, 2023. 2 Constant currency revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for more information. 3 DTC comparable sales growth is a supplementary financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of this measure. 4 EMEA comprises Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. 5 Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. Foreign exchange gains and losses related to the term loan, net of hedging, which were presented in SG&A expenses in the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, are now reflected in the presentation of net interest, finance and other costs. 6 Adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company are non-IFRS financial measures, and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share attributable to the shareholders of the Company is a non-IFRS financial ratio. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for more information. 7 Constant currency revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for more information. 8 The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the guidance for non-IFRS adjusted EBIT and non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments included in the most directly comparable IFRS measure that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) income tax related accruals in respect of certain one-time items (b) the impact of foreign currency exchange and (c) non-recurring expenses that cannot reasonably be estimated in advance. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond the Company's control and as a result it is also unable to predict their probable significance. Therefore, because management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results in accordance with IFRS, it is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures included in its fiscal 2024 guidance.
