Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (“Canada Goose” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GOOS, TSX:GOOS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022.

“Canada Goose’s brand momentum and supply chain resilience drove a strong performance in our largest quarter,” said Dani Reiss, President & CEO. “Our digital business continued to exceed last year’s outsized gains, alongside a sharp improvement in retail productivity. We remain confident in our long-term trajectory for revenue growth and margin expansion, notwithstanding the emergence of temporary and unexpected COVID-19 disruptions in certain markets.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Business Highlights (compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2021)

• Total revenue increased by 26.5%, excluding $10.7m of temporary PPE sales in the comparative quarter. Including temporary PPE sales, total revenue increased by 23.6%.

• Total non-parka revenue increased by 74.9%, reflecting growing year-round lifestyle relevance.

• Global e-Commerce revenue increased by 28.1%.

• DTC revenue in Mainland China increased by 35.1%.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results (compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2021)

• Total revenue was $586.1m from $474.0m. As fiscal 2022 is a 53-week year, the additional week included in the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 provided $40.9m of revenue.

• DTC revenue was $445.4m from $299.4m. The majority of the increase was driven by higher sales from existing retail stores, complemented by e-Commerce growth and retail expansion.

• Wholesale revenue was $136.7m from $160.8m. The decrease was a result of earlier order shipment timing relative to fiscal 2021, driven by wholesale partner requests.

• Other revenue was $4.0m from $13.8m. The decrease was attributable to temporary PPE sales in the comparative quarter.

• Gross profit was $413.8m, a gross margin of 70.6%, compared to $316.4m and 66.8%.

• DTC gross margin of 77.1%, compared to 77.9%. The decrease was driven by a higher proportion of sales in non-parka categories (-50 bps), higher duty costs (-50 bps), government payroll subsidies in the comparative quarter (-50 bps) and an unfavorable shift in geographic mix (-30 bps). This was partially offset by pricing (+120 bps).

• Wholesale gross margin of 50.2%, compared to 51.5%. The decrease was driven by government payroll subsidies in the comparative quarter (-190 bps) and unfavorable impacts from product mix due to higher sales in non-parka categories (-190 bps). This was partially offset by a higher proportion of sales to wholesale partners compared to international distributors (+100 bps) and pricing (+170 bps).

• Other segment gross profit was $1.6m from $0.3m.

• Operating income was $205.9m, an operating margin of 35.1%, compared to $153.3m and 32.3%.

• DTC operating margin of 57.4%, compared to 55.0%. The positive impact of revenue growth was partially offset by the decrease in segment gross margin.

• Wholesale operating margin of 35.6%, compared to 42.9%. The decrease in operating margin was attributable to lower gross margin and higher SG&A expenses.

• Other operating loss was $(98.5)m from $(80.4)m. The increase in operating loss was attributable to incremental SG&A expenses including $15.3m of investment in marketing, $7.9m of personnel costs and $5.1m in strategic initiatives including digital capabilities and the launch of Canada Goose footwear. This was partially offset by $14.5m of favorable foreign exchange fluctuations.

• Net income was $151.9m, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared to $107.0m, or $0.96 per diluted share.

• Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT was $206.9m, an adjusted EBIT margin of 35.3%, compared to $157.9m and 33.3%.

• Non-IFRS adjusted net income was $152.6m, or $1.42 per diluted share, compared to $111.9m, or $1.01 per diluted share.

• Cash was $407.6m as at quarter end, compared to $469.0m. During the year, 3,865,136 subordinate voting shares were repurchased for a total cash consideration of $187.3m.

• Inventory was $368.1m as at quarter end, compared to $339.0m.

Revised Fiscal 2022 Outlook

Due to lower than expected revenue and retail traffic in APAC and EMEA in the current quarter, alongside new variant outbreaks and restrictions, the Company now expects the following for fiscal 2022:

• Total revenue $1.090Bn to $1.105Bn, compared to $1.125Bn to $1.175Bn.

• Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT $165m to $175m at an adjusted EBIT margin of 15.1% to 15.8%, compared to $186m to $208m at an adjusted EBIT margin of 16.5% to 17.7%.

• Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share $1.02 to $1.11, compared to $1.17 to $1.33.

This is based on a number of assumptions, including the following:

• No material change in current economic conditions and operating disruptions, including those related to COVID-19.

• DTC revenue at approximately 68% of total revenue, compared to approximately 70%.

• Wholesale revenue growth 6% to 7%, compared to mid-single digits.

• Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 109.4m, compared to 109.3m.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share. These financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making, as well as providing key performance information to senior management. 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. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measure can be found in our MD&A. Such reconciliations can also be found in this press release under “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures

The tables below reconcile net income to EBIT, adjusted EBIT, and adjusted net income 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.

(a) Unrealized gains and losses on the translation of the Term Loan Facility from USD to CAD, net of the effect of derivative transactions entered into to hedge a portion of the exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

(b) Non-cash based compensation expense on stock options issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) under the Legacy Plan and cash payroll taxes paid of $0.1m and $0.1m in the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively, (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - less than $0.1m and $0.1m, respectively) on gains earned by option holders (compensation) when stock options are exercised.

(c) Net temporary store closure costs of $nil and $0.2m were incurred in the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively. These were comprised of temporary store costs of $nil and $0.4m, partially offset by government subsidies of $nil and $0.2m in Europe in the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively. Globally, government subsidies of $6.4m and $27.1m were recognized in the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. Government subsidies were recorded as a reduction to excess overhead costs from temporary closure of manufacturing facilities ($nil and $1.3m), temporary store closure costs (less than $0.1m and $1.4m), and restructuring expense ($nil and $0.4m), for the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. The benefit of $6.4m and $26.7m of government subsidies therefore remained in adjusted EBIT as a reduction to the associated wage costs for the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively.

(d) Costs incurred during pre-opening periods for new retail stores, including depreciation on right-of-use assets.

(e) Includes $nil and less than $0.1m of interest expense on lease liabilities for temporary store closures for the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $0.1m and $1.4m, respectively).

(f) Pre-store opening costs incurred in (d) above plus $0.1m and $0.4m of interest expense on lease liabilities for new retail stores during pre-opening periods for the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $0.1m and $0.6m, respectively).

(g) Costs incurred for the transition of logistics, warehousing, and freight forwarding agencies to enhance our global distribution structure.

(h) Costs in connection with the Baffin acquisition and the impact of gross margin that would otherwise have been recognized on inventory recorded at net realizable value less costs to sell.

(i) Release of a non-cash sales contract provision as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in the respective jurisdiction during the three quarters ended December 27, 2020.

(j) Non-cash unamortized costs accelerated in connection with the Repricing Amendment on April 9, 2021 during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 and the amendments to the Term Loan Facility on October 7, 2020 and May 10, 2019 during the three quarters ended December 27, 2020.

(k) includes costs for class action lawsuits and rent abatement received.
