Sales Flat Year-Over-Year

Gross Margin Expanded Over 600 Basis Points

Maintains and Narrows 2023 Outlook

YETI Holdings, Inc. ("YETI") (NYSE:YETI) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The results below should be read in conjunction with the "Product Recall Updates" section of this press release.

YETI reports its financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and as adjusted on a non-GAAP basis. YETI's non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of the voluntary recalls, as well as certain other items. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information" below for additional information and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Matt Reintjes, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our third quarter results demonstrate the continued and consistent execution of the YETI growth playbook, driving strong brand and product interest, while setting up the business for long-term, sustainable growth. Sales in the quarter were in line with our prior outlook, as a diverse range of new product offerings drove strong consumer demand across our major sales channels. Gross margin performance remained exceptional and above expectations, led by strong partnerships with our suppliers on product cost and the ongoing optimization of our transportation and logistics expenses. These gains continue to support growth focused investments across our business, while still driving upside to our bottom line."

Mr. Reintjes continued, "In addition to disciplined execution during the third quarter, we also successfully launched our expanded line of Hopper M Series soft coolers back to the market earlier in the fourth quarter. We are well positioned to build upon our leadership position in the soft cooler category as these products are more fully distributed across our channels into next year. In addition, we have extended a key customization capability across our global business with the debut of our first Ecommerce customization options outside of the U.S. Our consistent ability to drive innovation, combined with our unique omni-channel approach to reaching consumers and our continued brand investments, builds a strong and scalable platform for future growth."

Third Quarter 2023 Results

Sales were flat at $433.6 million compared to the same period last year. Sales and adjusted sales for the third quarter of 2023 include $6.3 million of sales related to gift card redemptions in connection with recall remedies. Our 2023 results have been materially adversely impacted by the stop sale of the soft coolers included in the recalls initiated during the first quarter of 2023.

Direct-to-consumer ("DTC") channel sales increased 14% to $259.5 million, compared to $227.4 million in the prior year quarter, due to growth in both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment.
Wholesale channel sales decreased 16% to $174.1 million, compared to $206.2 million in the same period last year. This decrease was due to a decline in both Coolers & Equipment and Drinkware.
Drinkware sales increased 6% to $253.3 million, compared to $239.0 million in the prior year quarter, led by strong demand for Rambler^® straw lid mugs, expanded offerings in Rambler^® and Yonder^® bottles, our new beverage bucket, and new seasonal colorways.
Coolers & Equipment sales decreased 8% to $171.5 million, compared to $185.7 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the stop sale of the soft coolers affected by the recalls. Despite strong overall consumer demand, hard coolers declined year-over-year primarily due to the success in rebuilding channel inventory during the same period last year. These impacts were partially offset by strong performance in our existing Hopper^® Flip soft cooler line as well as cargo.

Gross profit increased 13% to $251.3 million, or 58.0% of sales, compared to $222.4 million, or 51.3% of sales, in the third quarter of 2022. Gross profit included a $0.8 million, or 20 basis points, favorable impact related to lower than anticipated recall-related costs. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower inbound freight costs and lower product costs.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes the favorable impact related to lower recall costs, increased $28.0 million to $250.4 million, or 57.8% of adjusted sales, compared to $222.4 million, or 51.3% of adjusted sales, in the third quarter of 2022.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 23% to $189.4 million, compared to $153.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 820 basis points to 43.7% from 35.5% in the prior year period. This increase was due to higher non-variable expenses and variable expenses. The increase in non-variable expenses was primarily driven by higher employee incentive compensation costs as well as investments in marketing expenses and in headcount to support future growth. Variable expenses increased due to the increased mix of our growing Amazon Marketplace business as well as overall higher outbound freight costs.

Adjusted SG&A expenses increased 20% to $179.0 million, compared to $149.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. As a percentage of adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses increased 690 basis points to 41.3% from 34.4% in the prior year period.

Operating income decreased 10% to $61.9 million, or 14.3% of sales, compared to $68.5 million, or 15.8% of sales during the prior year quarter.

Adjusted operating income decreased 3% to $71.4 million, or 16.5% of adjusted sales, compared to $73.3 million, or 16.9% of adjusted sales during the same period last year.

Net income decreased 6% to $42.7 million, or 9.8% of sales, compared to $45.5 million, or 10.5% of sales in the prior year quarter; Net income per diluted share decreased 6% to $0.49, compared to $0.52 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted net income decreased 3% to $52.9 million, or 12.2% of adjusted sales, compared to $54.7 million, or 12.6% of adjusted sales in the prior year quarter; Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased 5% to $0.60, compared to $0.63 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Nine Months Results

Sales decreased 1% to $1,138.9 million, compared to $1,147.2 million in the prior year. Sales were unfavorably impacted by $24.5 million due to a recall reserve adjustment in the second quarter of 2023. See "Product Recall Updates" below for additional information on the impact of the recalls referenced throughout this press release.

Adjusted sales, which exclude the unfavorable impact of the recall reserve adjustment, increased 1% to $1,163.4 million.

Sales and adjusted net sales for the first nine months of 2023 include $18.8 million of sales related to gift card redemptions in connection with recall remedies. Our 2023 sales have also been materially adversely impacted by the stop sale of the soft coolers included in the recalls initiated during the first quarter of 2023.

DTC channel sales increased 7% to $652.9 million, compared to $608.2 million in the prior year period, due to growth in Drinkware. Excluding the $8.1 million unfavorable impact of the recall reserve adjustment, DTC channel adjusted sales increased 9% to $661.0 million due to growth in both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment.
Wholesale channel sales decreased 10% to $486.1 million, compared to $539.0 million in the same period last year. Excluding the $16.4 million unfavorable impact of the recall reserve adjustment, wholesale channel adjusted sales decreased 7% to $502.5 million due to a decline in both Coolers & Equipment and Drinkware.
Drinkware sales increased 6% to $677.0 million, compared to $639.1 million in the prior year period, reflecting strong demand for Rambler^® straw lid mugs, expanded offerings in Rambler^® bottles, the introductions of our new Yonder^® bottles and beverage bucket, and new seasonal colorways.
Coolers & Equipment sales decreased 10% to $432.5 million, compared to $482.0 million in the same period last year, and include a $24.5 million unfavorable impact related to the recall reserve adjustment. Excluding the unfavorable impact of the recall reserve adjustment, Coolers & Equipment adjusted sales decreased 5% to $457.0 million. This decrease was primarily due to the stop sale of the products affected by the recalls. These impacts were partially offset by increases in hard coolers, our existing Hopper Flip^® soft cooler line, and cargo.

Gross profit increased 5% to $628.0 million, or 55.1% of sales, compared to $596.4 million, or 52.0% of sales in the prior year. Gross profit included a $17.4 million, or 40 basis points, unfavorable impact primarily related to the recall reserve adjustment. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower inbound freight costs and lower product costs.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes the unfavorable impact primarily related to the recall reserve adjustment, increased $49.0 million to $645.3 million, or 55.5% of adjusted sales, compared to $596.4 million, or 52.0% of adjusted sales, in the prior year.

SG&A expenses increased 17% to $500.7 million, compared to $426.3 million in the prior year. SG&A expenses included a $10.5 million favorable impact primarily related to the recall reserve adjustment. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 680 basis points to 44.0% from 37.2% in the prior year period. This increase was due to higher non-variable expenses and variable expenses. The increase in non-variable expenses was primarily driven by higher employee incentive compensation costs as well as investments in marketing expenses and in headcount to support future growth. Variable expenses increased due to the increased mix of our growing Amazon Marketplace business as well as overall higher outbound freight costs.

Adjusted SG&A expenses, which exclude certain items including the favorable impact related to the recall reserve adjustment, increased 18% to $485.2 million, compared to $411.2 million in the prior year. As a percentage of adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses increased 590 basis points to 41.7% from 35.8% in the prior year period.

Operating income decreased 25% to $127.3 million, or 11.2% of sales, compared to $170.1 million, or 14.8% of sales during the prior year, and includes a $6.8 million unfavorable impact primarily from the recall reserve adjustment.

Adjusted operating income decreased 13% to $160.2 million, or 13.8% of adjusted sales, compared to $185.2 million, or 16.1% of adjusted sales during the same period last year.

Net income, which includes the unfavorable impact from the recall reserve adjustment, decreased 22% to $91.3 million, or 8.0% of sales, compared to $117.4 million, or 10.2% of sales in the prior year; Net income per diluted share decreased 22% to $1.05, compared to $1.35 per diluted share in the prior year.

Adjusted net income decreased 14% to $118.2 million, or 10.2% of adjusted sales, compared to $138.0 million, or 12.0% of adjusted sales in the prior year period; Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased 15% to $1.35, compared to $1.58 per diluted share in the same period last year.

Balance Sheet and Other Highlights

Cash increased to $281.4 million, compared to $77.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2022.

Inventory decreased 22% to $341.3 million, compared to $439.4 million at the end of the prior year quarter.

Total debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized deferred financing fees, was $83.3 million, compared to $95.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2022. During the third quarter of 2023, we made mandatory debt payments of $1.1 million.

Updated 2023 Outlook

Mr. Reintjes concluded, "As we move through our biggest quarter of the year, we are focused on continuing to be innovative with our brand and our products while demonstrating value to consumers who we expect will remain discerning with their spending through the holiday period. We remain committed to delivering our full year sales outlook, while also updating our full year adjusted EPS outlook to the high-end of our prior range to reflect continued gross margin expansion. Finally, our balance sheet and our ability to generate strong cash flow will afford us a range of opportunities as we look to further expand the reach of the YETI brand, open new markets and drive shareholder returns."

For 2023, YETI expects:

Adjusted sales to increase approximately 4% (versus the previous outlook of between 4% and 5%). Expected adjusted sales are inclusive of an approximate 500 basis points unfavorable impact on our growth rate from the stop sale of the products affected by the recalls. Expected adjusted sales also include $18.8 million of sales from recall-related gift card redemptions during the second and third quarter of 2023;
Adjusted operating income as a percentage of adjusted sales of approximately 16.0% (versus the previous outlook of between 15.5% and 16.0%). The benefit from the adjusted gross margin expansion is expected to be more than offset by adjusted SG&A deleverage, which is driven by the unfavorable topline impact from the stop sale of the products affected by the recalls as well as strategic investments;
An effective tax rate of approximately 25.1% (compared to 22.8% in the prior year period, which reflected an income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation);
Adjusted net income per diluted share of approximately $2.32 (versus the previous outlook of between $2.23 and $2.32), reflecting a 2% decrease, with earnings growth beginning in the fourth quarter of the year;
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 87.4 million (versus the previous outlook of 87.3 million); and
Capital expenditures of approximately $55 million (versus the previous outlook of $60 million) primarily to support investments in technology and new product innovation and launches.

Product Recall Updates

New and Expanded Hopper M Series Soft Cooler Line

In October 2023, we introduced our redesigned and improved Hopper^® M30 Soft Cooler and Hopper^® M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, and also launched two new sizes with the Hopper^® M15 Soft Cooler and the Hopper^® M12 Soft Backpack Cooler (collectively, the "Hopper M Series Soft Cooler line"). We believe the improved design of the Hopper M Series Soft Cooler line adequately addresses the potential safety concerns caused by the magnet-lined closures of the previous-generation products, which were affected by the product recalls.

Product Recall Reserve

As previously disclosed, in February 2023 we proposed a voluntary recall of our Hopper^® M30 Soft Cooler, Hopper^® M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, and SideKick Dry^® gear case (the "affected products"). As a result, we established reserves for unsalable inventory on-hand and estimated product recall expenses as of December 31, 2022.

In March 2023, we initiated voluntary recalls of the affected products. During the second quarter of 2023, we began processing recall returns and claims, and based on such experience and trends, we reevaluated our assumptions and adjusted our estimated recall expense reserve. These trends included higher than anticipated elections to receive gift cards in lieu of product replacement remedies, variations in individual product participation rates, and lower logistics costs than previously estimated. As a result, we updated our initial recall reserve assumptions, which increased the estimated recall expense reserve by $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. However, the overall consumer recall participation rate has remained consistent with our expectations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded the following impacts as a result of the recall reserve adjustment and other incurred costs. These impacts are excluded from our non-GAAP results:

Sales - For the three months ended September 30, 2023, an immaterial reduction to sales for higher returns-related costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a reduction to net sales for higher estimated future recall remedies (i.e., estimated gift card elections) of $24.5 million, of which $8.1 million and $16.4 million was allocated to our DTC and wholesale channels, respectively. These amounts were allocated based on the historical channel sell-in basis of the affected products;

Cost of goods sold - For the three months ended September 30, 2023, a benefit of $0.8 million related to lower than anticipated recall-related costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, favorable impacts of $5.0 million primarily related to lower estimated costs of future product replacement remedy elections and logistics costs, $1.3 million from an inventory reserve adjustment, and $0.8 million related to lower recall-related costs; and

SG&A - For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a benefit of $10.5 million primarily related to lower estimated other recall-related costs.

In addition, our sales have also been materially adversely impacted by the stop sale of the affected products initiated during the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share as well as adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as a percentage of adjusted net sales. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to measure our profitability and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business and are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below.

YETI does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including in particular the impact of the voluntary recalls and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses reported within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions needed in order to provide a forward-looking GAAP financial measures at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions may be material and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP financial measures being materially different or less than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. See "Forward-looking statements" below.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon detailed assumptions and reflect management's current expectations and beliefs. While YETI believes that these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, YETI cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for YETI to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.
