WOLVERINE WORLDWIDE REPORTS STRONG CASH FLOW AND BETTER-THAN-EXPECTED REVENUE AND EARNINGS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER
ROCKFORD, Mich., August 5, 2020 - Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE: WWW) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2020, that significantly exceeded its expectations across every key financial metric and provided an update on initiatives implemented to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Company's second quarter results were much stronger than expected, despite the negative impact of unprecedented global market conditions and significant retail store closures for much of the time period,” said Blake W. Krueger, Wolverine Worldwide’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “Our brands excelled online, with nearly triple-digit owned eCommerce revenue growth, benefiting from strength in key product categories that are resonating with consumers and the digital capabilities we have invested in over the last several years. The acceleration of our digital direct offense, together with our diversified and agile business model, enabled the Company to adapt to the rapidly changing marketplace and deliver positive earnings and exceptional cash flow in the quarter. We believe the Company is positioned well to accelerate out of the current market downturn once the impact of the pandemic subsides.”
LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW UPDATE
During the second quarter, the Company took precautionary steps to further strengthen its balance sheet by prioritizing liquidity and net asset management. These actions proved very effective and include the implementation of cash enhancement and expense reduction initiatives, amendment of its Senior Credit Facility to increase flexibility within existing covenant requirements, and the sale of senior notes to enhance liquidity and provide longer-term financing.
The successful implementation of cash flow initiatives coupled with better-than-expected revenue and profit in the second quarter enabled the Company to generate $116 million of operating cash flow in the quarter. The Company paid down its revolver debt by $665 million, leaving a balance of $125 million, and ended the second quarter with $423 million of cash on hand, total liquidity of $1.1 billion, including cash and available borrowing capacity under the revolver, and a much improved debt leverage position when compared to the first quarter. Given the strong cash performance in the second quarter, the Company now expects to generate $200 million to $250 million of operating cash flow for the full year.
SECOND QUARTER 2020 REVIEW
1
The Company's results for the second quarter significantly exceeded its expectations entering the quarter, including:
•Reported revenue was $349.1 million, down 38.6% versus the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenue was down 38.3% versus the prior year. Owned eCommerce revenue grew 96.0% versus the prior year.
•Reported gross margin was 42.2%, compared to 40.5% in the prior year.
•Reported operating margin was 2.1%, compared to 9.8% in the prior year. Adjusted operating margin was 5.1%, compared to 11.1% in the prior year.
•Reported diluted loss per share was $0.02, compared to earnings per share of $0.45 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.08, and, on a constant currency basis, were $0.09, compared to $0.52 in the prior year.
•Inventory at the end of the quarter was down 5.0% versus the prior year and down 7.0% when excluding the impact of new stores and the incremental cost of new tariffs.
•Cash flow from operating activities in the quarter was $115.6 million, compared to $136.3 million in the prior year.
•Cash on hand at the end of the quarter was $422.6 million, compared to $116.5 million in the prior year.
“The Company's response to the challenging environment has been exceptional,” said Mike Stornant, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “At the onset of the pandemic, we prioritized positive cash flow and a strong balance sheet, and we delivered approximately $116 million of cash flow from operations during the second quarter – significantly above our expectations. Our inventory position improved meaningfully during the quarter, while gross margin expanded 170 basis points. These financial results are very encouraging and, importantly, are clear evidence of an operating model that can adjust quickly to unexpected challenges. While we expect the second half of the year to remain challenging, we are well prepared for various scenarios that may play out and are confident that the Company will remain strong during this volatile time.”
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Measures referred to as "adjusted" financial results exclude environmental and other related costs and environmental cost recoveries, and costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including reorganization and credit loss expenses. The Company also provided the increase in net inventories adjusted for new store inventories and incremental tariff costs within inventories. 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 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 basis by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current period reported results. In addition, the Company presents a non-GAAP measure for inventory, which excludes the impact of new stores and the incremental cost of new tariffs. The Company believes providing this inventory number provides valuable supplemental information regarding results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance. The Company calculates this inventory number by excluding the inventories related to new stores and incremental tariff costs capitalized into inventory.
The Company has provided a reconciliation 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 to increase comparability of current period results to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of core operating results and to better identify trends in our business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow
2
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 substitution for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EARNINGS CALL INFORMATION
The Company will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. EST 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.

*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, costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic including credit loss expenses, severance expenses and other related costs, reorganization expenses, debt extinguishment costs, new store inventories and incremental tariff costs within inventories were excluded. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors to increase comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of core operating measures and to better identify 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.

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 our 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.
