FOOT LOCKER, INC. REPORTS Fourth QUARTER 2023 RESULTS; ISSUES 2024 OUTLOOK

 

●   Total Sales Increased 2.0%; Comparable Sales Decreased 0.7%

●   Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker North America Comparable Sales Increased +5.2%

●   EPS Loss of $4.13 and Non-GAAP EPS Income of $0.38

●   Inventory Decreased 8.2% Year-over-Year

●   Anticipates Return to Positive Comparable Sales Growth and EBIT Margin Expansion in 2024

●   2024 Non-GAAP EPS Guidance of $1.50-$1.70 including a Non-Recurring Charge of $0.10

●   Provides Update on Timing to Achieve Lace Up Plan Financial Targets

 

NEW YORK, NY, March 6, 2024 – Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended February 3, 2024.

 

Mary Dillon, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report fourth quarter results ahead of our expectations, including meaningfully accelerated sales trends relative to the third quarter, earnings per share that exceeded our guidance range, and improvements across multiple KPIs. As we continued to deliver on the strategic imperatives of our Lace Up Plan, we built significant momentum through the holiday season, driven by full-price selling in addition to compelling promotions. We also proactively reinvested in markdowns to end the year with leaner inventory levels compared to our expectations.”

 

Ms. Dillon continued, “As we continue evolving into a modern, omnichannel retailer for ‘all things sneakers,’ we are making important progress strengthening our brand partnerships, increasing customer engagement, transforming our real estate footprint, and driving growth in digital. We are especially excited about strengthening our basketball leadership position, including a successful activation at NBA All-Star 2024. To further build on our progress, we are leaning into strategic investments in digital, store experience, loyalty, and brand-building in 2024. The Foot Locker brand will celebrate its 50th anniversary later this year, and we are confident that our Lace Up Plan is positioning the Company for longer-term sustainable growth and shareholder value creation, while laying the right foundation for our next 50 years of success.”

 

Fourth Quarter Results

 

 

Total sales inclusive of the 53rd week increased by 2.0%, to $2,380 million, as compared with sales of $2,334 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, total sales for the fourth quarter increased by 1.5%.

 

 

Comparable sales decreased by 0.7%, driven by a 210 basis-point impact from repositioning the Champs Sports banner, consumer softness, and changing vendor mix. Importantly, combined comparable sales increased 5.2% in the Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker North American banners.

 

 

 
 

 

Please refer to the Sales by Banner table below for detailed sales performance by banner and region.

 

 

Gross margin declined by 350 basis points as compared with the prior-year period, primarily as a result of higher markdowns, partially offset by occupancy leverage.

 

 

SG&A as a percentage of sales increased by 10 basis points compared with the prior-year period, with savings from the cost optimization program more than offset by inflation and investments in front-line wages and technology.

 

 

Fourth quarter net loss was $389 million, as compared with net income of $19 million in the corresponding prior-year period. On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was $36 million, as compared with $92 million in the corresponding prior-year period.

 

 

Fourth quarter diluted loss per share was $4.13, as compared with earnings per share of $0.20 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter results include a $0.12 contribution from the 53rd week of 2023. Non-GAAP earnings per share decreased to $0.38 in the fourth quarter, as compared with $0.97 in the corresponding prior-year period.

 

 

Non-GAAP results exclude, among other items, non-cash charges of $478 million related to the Company’s minority investments and $75 million related to the Company’s partial settlement of its pension plan obligations. The Company assesses the carrying value of its minority investments for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The pension settlement charge of $75 million represents the acceleration of losses that were previously deferred. As part of efforts to reduce pension plan obligations, the Company transferred the plan’s registered assets and liabilities to an insurance company through the purchase of a group annuity contract, under which an insurance company is required to directly pay and administer pension payments to certain pension plan participants, or their designated beneficiaries.

 

See the tables below for the reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures.

 

Balance Sheet

 

At quarter-end, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $297 million, and total debt was $447 million.

 

As of February 3, 2024, the Company’s merchandise inventories were $1,509 million, 8.2% lower than at the end of the fourth quarter last year. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, merchandise inventories decreased by 7.8% as compared with the fourth quarter of last year.

 

Store Base Update

 

During the fourth quarter, the Company opened 29 new stores, remodeled, or relocated 66 stores, and closed 113 stores. 

 

As of February 3, 2024, the Company operated 2,523 stores in 26 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition, 202 licensed stores were operating in the Middle East and Asia.

 

 

 
 

 

2024 Financial Outlook and Update on Timing to Achieve Lace Up Financial Targets and Capital Allocation

 

Mike Baughn, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, “We maintain conviction in the longer-term earnings potential that our Lace Up plan will generate and reiterate the 8.5-9% EBIT margin target communicated at our March 2023 Investor Day. Given our lower starting point exiting 2023, we expect a two-year delay in achieving that goal and now see reaching that target by 2028.”

 

Mr. Baughn continued, “As our margins and cash flows improve, we will continue to prioritize investing in our business, and enhancing financial flexibility to continue to support our strategic objectives. In that context, 2024 will serve as a cash rebuilding year, and we, therefore, are not resuming a dividend at this time. We are confident, however, that our strategy will unlock longer-term shareholder value, including a return to quarterly dividends and share repurchases over time.”

 

The Company’s full year 2024 outlook, representing the 52 weeks ending February 1, 2025, is summarized in the table below.

 

Note that the Company’s full-year EPS guidance includes an approximate $0.10 non-recurring charge in the second quarter of 2024 from the anticipated rollout to the rest of North America of its enhanced FLX loyalty program. This charge is anticipated as loyalty points will be converted into additional benefits for the Company’s customers.

The Company provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking EBIT, capital expenditures, and diluted earnings per share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to reporting the Company’s financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures that will be presented will exclude (i) gains or losses related to our minority investments, (ii) impairments and other, and (iii) certain tax matters that we believe are nonrecurring or unusual in nature.

 

Certain financial measures are identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements.

 

These non-GAAP measures are presented because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives and are consistent with how executive compensation is determined.

Notes on Non-GAAP Adjustments:

 

(1)

For the fourth quarter of 2023, impairment and other included $11 million of impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets and accelerated tenancy charges. These were incurred as part of the Company's annual review of underperforming stores and the planned wind down of its U.S. atmos stores, partially offset by a net benefit from the settlement of lease obligations associated with Sidestep store closures. In addition, the Company recorded intangible asset impairment of $9 million on an atmos tradename and reorganization costs of $5 million. These charges were partially offset by a $4 million reduction in the fair value of the atmos contingent consideration liability.

 

For fiscal year 2023, impairment and other included impairment charges of $30 million from a review of underperforming stores and accelerated tenancy charges on right-of-use assets for closures of the Sidestep banner and certain Foot Locker Asia stores. Additionally, the Company incurred transformation consulting expense of $27 million and reorganization costs of $17 million primarily related to severance and the closures of the Sidestep banner, certain Foot Locker Asia stores, and a North American distribution center. The fiscal year also included the atmos intangible asset impairment of $9 million, partially offset by the $4 million reduction in the fair value of the atmos contingent consideration.

Notes on Non-GAAP Adjustments (continued):

 

 

For the fourth quarter of 2022, impairment and other charges included $53 million of impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets and accelerated tenancy charges. These were incurred as a result of the Company's planned wind down of the Sidestep banner, a review of underperforming stores, and the continued wind down of the remaining Footaction stores. Additionally, the Company recorded $20 million of primarily severance costs related to a reorganization, $15 million of transformation consulting, $9 million of litigation costs related to an employment matter, and $8 million of Sidestep tradename asset impairment, partially offset by a $31 million reduction in the fair value of the atmos contingent consideration liability.

 

For fiscal year 2022, impairment and other charges included $58 million of impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets and accelerated tenancy charges, $42 million of transformation consulting, $22 million of primarily severance costs related to a reorganization, $9 million of litigation costs related to an employment matter, $8 million of Sidestep tradename asset impairment, and $4 million of acquisition integration costs, partially offset by a $31 million reduction in the fair value of the atmos contingent consideration liability.

 

(2)

For the fourth quarter of 2023, other income / expense primarily consisted of a $478 million non-cash charge on minority investments and a $75 million charge related to the partial settlement of pension plan obligations. The adjustment related to the Company's minority investments was triggered by an assessment of impairment. During the fourth quarter, as part of efforts to reduce pension plan obligations, the Company transferred approximately $109 million of its U.S. Qualified pension plan registered assets and liabilities to an insurance company through the purchase of a group annuity contract, under which an insurance company is required to directly pay and administer pension payments to certain pension plan participants, or their designated beneficiaries. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a non-cash pretax settlement charge of $75 million. This settlement charge accelerated the recognition of previously unrecognized losses in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.” Additionally, fiscal year 2023 also included a $3 million gain from the sale of a North American corporate office property, a $3 million gain from the sale of the Singapore and Malaysian Foot Locker businesses to a license partner, and $2 million of the Company's share of losses related to equity method investments. 

 

Other income / expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 consisted of a $9 million loss on the sale of the minority investment in Retailors, Ltd. Fiscal year 2022 also included a $53 million loss on the changes in fair value of the investment in Retailors, Ltd., partially offset by $1 million of dividend income from this investment, and the Company's share of income related to other equity method investments of $1 million.
