WOLVERINE WORLDWIDE DELIVERS STRONG FIRST QUARTER AND REITERATES FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

First quarter revenue of $615 million grew 20% with continued momentum across brands

ROCKFORD, Mich., May 11, 2022 – Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE: WWW) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2022.

“We delivered strong financial results in the quarter despite continued supply chain challenges and macro headwinds,” said Brendan Hoffman, Wolverine Worldwide’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue and operating margin exceeded expectations, despite gross margin pressure related to higher supply chain costs and channel mix shift. We are encouraged to see continued strong demand across brands and have upcoming product launches and powerful marketing initiatives planned to drive further excitement among consumers. Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing our primary growth strategies, with a more focused approach on execution as we capitalize on a favorable industry backdrop in outdoor, performance and work categories.”

On August 2, 2021, Wolverine Worldwide acquired women’s activewear brand Sweaty Betty, a digitally-native, premium global apparel brand, which will continue to fuel growth and enhance the Company’s eCommerce business. The information in the following table excludes Sweaty Betty.

Non-GAAP Organic (Excluding Sweaty Betty)
(in millions)4/2/20224/3/2021Y/Y Change
Total Revenue$561.2$510.79.9%
Organic Gross Margin41.5%44.3%(280 bps)
Organic Operating Margin9.1%10.2%(110 bps)
Organic Diluted Earnings Per Share$0.41$0.402.5%

Revenue of $614.8 million reflected strong wholesale and international distributor sales. Direct-to-Consumer revenue increased 24% including Sweaty Betty and decreased 14% excluding Sweaty Betty.

Gross margin of 42.5% was in line with our internal plan and includes incremental supply chain costs and a revenue mix shift toward the international distributor business.

Selling, General & Administrative expenses of $241.7 million includes $30 million of net costs related to a legacy environmental matter. Adjusted SG&A expenses of $211.3 million are up $37 million due to an increase in variable costs on higher revenue, the addition of Sweaty Betty, and higher labor costs in our distribution centers.

Inventory at the end of the quarter was $483.3 million, up 50.6% versus the prior year. Excluding Sweaty Betty inventory increased 36.1% versus the prior year.

Total debt at the end of the quarter was $1,094.6 million. Total liquidity including cash and available borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit was approximately $800 million.

Share repurchases: During the first quarter, approximately 1.4 million shares were repurchased at an average price of $24.37 per share. At the end of the quarter, the Company had nearly $413 million available under its board-approved share repurchase plan.

FULL-YEAR 2022 OUTLOOK

“We are encouraged by the strong start to the year with revenue and earnings per share exceeding our expectations,” said Mike Stornant, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Looking forward, the continued strong demand for our brands combined with improving inventory flow supports our reiteration of full-year revenue and EPS guidance.”

Revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.775 billion to $2.850 billion, representing growth of approximately 15.0% to 18.0%.
Diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $2.30 to $2.45 and adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $2.50 to $2.65, representing growth of 19.4% to 26.5%.
Gross margin is expected to be approximately 43.0%.
Operating margin is expected to be approximately 10.2% and adjusted operating margin is expected to be approximately 11.0%, up approximately 35 bps versus 2021.
The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 21%.
Diluted weighted average shares are expected to be approximately 81.4 million.

This outlook assumes no meaningful deterioration of current market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic during the remainder of 2022.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Measures referred to in this release as “adjusted” financial results are non-GAAP measures that exclude environmental and other related costs net of recoveries and costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic including air freight costs. Measures referred to in this release as “adjusted organic” financial results are non-GAAP measures that exclude the results of Sweaty Betty. 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. The adjusted organic financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the aggregate operating performance of the Company’s brands other than Sweaty Betty. 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 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, costs associated with the acquisition of the Sweaty Betty® brand, environmental and other related costs net of recoveries and air freight costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic were excluded. The Company also describes what certain financial measures would have been if the previously described financial measures also excluded the results of Sweaty Betty®. 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 core operating measures and to better identify trends in the Company's 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.
