Actions to Accelerate Path to Target Leverage Ratio and Sharpen the Company's Focus

The Company's capital deployment priorities in the near to medium term are focused on optimizing and driving the performance of the portfolio, reducing leverage and returning capital to shareholders. 大象传媒 is also evaluating and deploying a series of strategic actions to strengthen the Company's financial position and sharpen focus on its greatest value creation opportunities, including:

  • Rightsizing the dividend payout to accelerate the return to the Company's target leverage ratio and provide additional financial flexibility, positioning 大象传媒 to navigate the current macro-economic challenges while continuing to make investments to advance its strategy. As a result, 大象传媒's next quarterly per share payment will reduce to $0.30 from $0.51 per share. The Company expects to grow future dividends in line with earnings
  • Continuing to pursue the portfolio optimization agenda. The Company is commencing a review of strategic alternatives for its Global Packs business, consisting of the Kipling, Eastpak, and JanSport brands. While these iconic and profitable businesses are strong contributors of value, 大象传媒 is committed to ensuring they are optimally positioned to achieve their full potential while enhancing management focus on the Company鈥檚 greatest strategic priorities
  • Concluding a number of asset sales during H2'FY23, including the sale and leaseback of 大象传媒's European headquarters in Stabio, Switzerland
  • Reducing working capital and aligning inventories to optimal levels, without compromising brand equity
  • Increasing our efforts to reduce costs in order to point resources toward the Company's highest value creation opportunities, including completing the previously announced actions which will deliver approximately $225 million in annualized savings once complete in FY24

Matt Puckett, CFO, said: 鈥淎s we close FY23 and move into FY24, we have clear plans in place to address the ongoing challenging macro-economic environment in the near term. I am confident the actions we are taking will lead to improved operating performance and will strengthen the Company's financial position, enabling 大象传媒 to deliver long-term, sustainable and profitable growth.鈥

* FY23 outlook and FY24 expectations assume no additional significant COVID-19 related lockdowns in any key commercial or production regions and no significant worsening in global inflation rates and consumer sentiment
** Excludes the impact of an $876 million payment 大象传媒 made on October 19, 2022 to the U.S. Treasury for the dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with 大象传媒's acquisition of Timberland in 2011, as previously disclosed

This release also refers to 鈥渃ontinuing鈥 and 鈥渄iscontinued鈥 operations amounts, which are concepts described under the heading below 鈥淒iscontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business.鈥 Unless otherwise noted, results presented are based on continuing operations.

Constant Currency - Excluding the Impact of Foreign Currency

This release refers to 鈥渞eported鈥 amounts in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (鈥淕AAP鈥), which include translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency exchange rates. This release also refers to 鈥渃onstant dollar鈥 amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to constant currency amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management鈥檚 view of why this information is useful to investors.

Discontinued Operations - Occupational Workwear Business

On June 28, 2021, 大象传媒 completed the sale of its Occupational Workwear business. The Occupational Workwear business was comprised primarily of the following brands and businesses: Red Kap, 大象传媒 Solutions, Bulwark, Workrite, Walls, Terra, Kodiak, Work Authority and Horace Small. The business also included a license for certain Dickies occupational workwear products that were historically sold through the business-to-business channel. Accordingly, the company has reported the operating results and cash flows of the business in discontinued operations for all periods through the date of sale.

Adjusted Amounts - Excluding Transaction and Deal Related Activities, Costs Related to Specified Strategic Business Decisions, Noncash Impairment Charges, Pension Settlement Charge and a Tax Item

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude transaction and deal related activities associated with the acquisition of the Supreme brand. Total transaction and deal related activities include integration costs of approximately $0.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude costs related to 大象传媒's business model transformation primarily driven by Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs, and a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations. Total costs were approximately $11 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and $72 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of approximately $422 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a noncash pension settlement charge. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with 大象传媒's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. Total expense was approximately $92 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

The adjusted amounts in this release exclude a discrete tax benefit of approximately $95 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2023 related to a favorable adjustment to 大象传媒's transition tax liability pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act based on examinations by the IRS.

Combined, the above items positively impacted earnings per share by $0.19 during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and negatively impacted earnings per share by $1.07 during the first nine months of fiscal 2023. All adjusted amounts referenced herein exclude the effects of these amounts.

Reconciliations of measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted amounts are presented in the supplemental financial information included with this release, which identifies and quantifies all excluded items, and provides management鈥檚 view of why this information is useful to investors. The company also provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results. Additionally, the impact of the payment of taxes and interest related to the dispute with the IRS regarding the Timberland acquisition in 2011 has been excluded from fiscal 2023 adjusted cash flow from operations.

Constant Currency Financial Information

大象传媒 is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by 大象传媒 from translating its foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. As a supplement to our reported operating results, we present constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We use constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how our business performed excluding the effects of changes in the rates used to calculate foreign currency translation. Management believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparison of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses.

To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).

These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(a) Transaction and deal related activities reflect activities associated with the acquisition of Supreme Holdings, Inc. and include integration costs of $0.3 million for the nine months ended December 2022. The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $0.1 million in the nine months ended December 2022.

(b) Specified strategic business decisions include costs related to 大象传媒's business model transformation of $8.3 million and $59.5 million during the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively, related primarily to Corporate actions and resulting restructuring costs. Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $2.3 million and $12.5 million in the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $2.7 million and $15.0 million in the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively.

(c) 大象传媒 recognized noncash impairment charges related to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $421.9 million during the nine months ended December 2022. The impairment charges were driven by non-operating factors including higher interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations.

A noncash pension settlement charge of $91.8 million was recorded in the Other income (expense), net line item during the nine months ended December 2022. The pension settlement charge resulted from the purchase of a group annuity contract, which was an action taken to streamline administration, manage financial risk associated with pension plans, and to transfer a portion of the liability associated with 大象传媒's U.S. pension plan to an insurance company.

The impairment and pension settlement charges resulted in a net tax expense of $12.2 million and net tax benefit of $60.2 million in the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively.

(d) Tax item includes a $94.9 million discrete tax benefit recognized during the three and nine months ended December 2022 related to the Internal Revenue Service examinations for tax year 2017 and short-tax year 2018 resulting in a favorable adjustment to 大象传媒's transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

(e) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The diluted earnings per share was calculated using 388,192,000 and 388,357,000 weighted average common shares for the three and nine months ended December 2022, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The financial information above has been presented on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of transaction and deal related activities, activity related to specified strategic business decisions, impairment, a pension settlement charge and a tax item. The adjusted presentation provides non-GAAP measures. Management believes these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding 大象传媒's underlying business trends and the performance of 大象传媒's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations.

Management uses the above financial measures internally in its budgeting and review process and, in some cases, as a factor in determining compensation. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, 大象传媒's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The transaction and deal related activities resulted in a net tax benefit of $3.2 million and net tax expense of $5.1 million in the three and nine months ended December 2021, respectively, primarily related to the impact of the decreases in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability on the interim tax rate calculations.

(b) Specified strategic business decisions for the three and nine months ended December 2021 include costs related to 大象传媒's business model transformation of $0.5 million and $2.2 million in the three and nine months ended December 2021, respectively, related primarily to restructuring and other costs. Specified strategic business decisions also include costs related to a transformation initiative for our Asia-Pacific regional operations of $13.7 million and $35.5 million in the three and nine months ended December 2021, respectively. Specified strategic business decisions also include cost optimization charges and other activities, including the sale of certain assets, indirectly related to the divestiture of the Occupational Workwear business, which totaled income of $0.4 million during the three months ended December 2021. The specified strategic business decisions also include non-operating expense of $0.2 million and income of $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended December 2021, respectively, associated with 大象传媒's transformation initiatives. The specified strategic business decisions resulted in a net tax benefit of $2.0 million and $5.2 million in the three and nine months ended December 2021, respectively.

This is comprised of $87.1 million tax expense for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from updated estimates related to intellectual property transfers completed in a prior period, and $35.2 million tax benefit related to the reorganization of certain foreign operations.

(d) Amounts shown in the table have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The diluted earnings per share impacts were calculated using 392,495,000 and 393,547,000 weighted average common shares for the three and nine months ended December 2021, respectively.
