NEW ALBANY, Ohio, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) today announced results for the first quarter ended May 1, 2021. These compare to results for the first quarter ended May 2, 2020. Descriptions of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures accompany this release.
Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said, “2021 is off to a strong start. We built on the significant progress we made in 2020, registering our best first quarter operating income since 2008. The first quarter is evidence that our shift to a digitally-led global business model is working. Total net sales grew 61% year-over-year, with digital sales up 45% to 52% of total sales. Inventories remained tightly controlled and product resonated with both new and existing customers, fueling improved price realization and benefiting gross margin rate, which expanded by 900 basis points. We remained focused on funding key investments in customer-facing initiatives and delivered significant first quarter operating leverage.”
“Results were well-ahead of first quarter 2019 pre-COVID levels, with net sales 6% higher, including up 18% in our largest market, the U.S., gross margin expansion of 290 basis points and operating margin increasing 1,100 basis points. Sales growth was achieved despite the reduction of 1.3 million gross square feet of store space, or 20%, compared to the first quarter of 2019.”
“Momentum has continued into the second quarter across brands, and early reaction to our newest member of the A&F Co. family, Social Tourist, has been amazing. Our solid foundation and strong liquidity position enables us to be on the offense. We remain focused on profitable topline growth, our ongoing digital evolution and our growth vehicles, including Gilly Hicks, and are committed to thoughtful expense management and global square footage optimization. Although the global landscape remains uncertain, I am excited about the future and more confident than ever in our ability to drive sustainable, long-term operating margin expansion.”
Details related to net income (loss) per diluted share for the first quarter are as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 (1) | |||||||

(1) Net loss per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 reflects adverse tax impacts of $90.9 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, related to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and other tax charges.
(2) Excluded items consist of pre-tax store asset impairment charges and the tax effect of pre-tax excluded items.
(3) The estimated impact from foreign currency is calculated by applying current period exchange rates to prior year results using a 26% tax rate.

- Net sales of $781 million, up 61% as compared to last year and up 6% as compared to pre-COVID 2019 first quarter net sales.
- Digital net sales increased 45% to $403 million reflecting robust growth in every month of the quarter.

| Financial Position and Liquidity |
As of May 1, 2021 the company had:
- Cash and equivalents of $0.9 billion. This compares to cash and equivalents of $1.1 billion and $0.7 billion as of January 30, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively.
- Inventories of $389 million, down 9% as compared to May 2, 2020.
- Long-term gross borrowings under the company’s senior secured notes of $350 million (the “Senior Secured Notes”) which mature in July 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum.
- Borrowing available under the senior-secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) of $223 million.
- Liquidity, comprised of cash and equivalents and borrowing available under the ABL Facility, of approximately $1.1 billion. This compares to liquidity of $1.3 billion and $0.8 billion as of January 30, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively.
| Cash Flow and Capital Allocation |
Details related to the company’s cash flows for the year-to-date period ended May 1, 2021 are as follows:
- Net cash used for operating activities of $131 million.
- Net cash used for investing activities of $14 million. The company expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 to be approximately $100 million as compared to $102 million of capital expenditures in fiscal 2020.
- Net cash used for financing activities of $53 million.
The company has returned $35 million to shareholders during the year-to-date period ended May 1, 2021 through share repurchases. As of May 1, 2021, the Company had the authority to repurchase approximately 8.9 million shares as a part of the A&F Board of Directors’ previously approved February 2021 share repurchase authorization. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on various factors, including market and business conditions.
In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the company finalized an agreement with and paid its landlord partner to settle all remaining obligations related to the SoHo Hollister flagship store in New York City, which closed during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Prior to this new agreement, the company was required to make payments in aggregate of $80 million pursuant to the lease agreements through fiscal 2028. The new agreement resulted in an acceleration of payments and provided for a discount resulting in a cash outflow of $64 million during the first quarter to settle all remaining obligations. This strategic use of excess cash reduces the company’s operating lease liabilities by $65 million and eliminates future interest expense related to this obligation.
Depreciation and amortization was $38 million for the year-to-date period ended May 1, 2021.
| Flagship Store Update |
As part of its ongoing global store network optimization initiative and stated goal of repositioning from larger format, tourist-dependent flagship locations to smaller, omni-enabled stores that cater to local customers, the company closed its Abercrombie & Fitch brand Orchard Road Singapore flagship location during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. This leaves the company with six operating flagships at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021, down from seven at the beginning of the year and 15 at the beginning of fiscal 2020.

Reporting and Use of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures
The company believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented are useful to investors as they provide a measure of the company’s operating performance excluding the effect of certain items which the company believes do not reflect its future operating outlook, such as asset impairment charges primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic or related to the company’s flagship stores, therefore supplementing investors’ understanding of comparability of operations across periods. Management used these non-GAAP financial measures during the periods presented to assess the company’s performance and to develop expectations for future operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be used supplemental to, and not as an alternative to, the company’s GAAP financial results, and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies.
In addition, at times the company provides comparable sales, defined as the percentage year-over-year change in the aggregate of: (1) sales for stores that have been open as the same brand at least one year and whose square footage has not been expanded or reduced by more than 20% within the past year, with prior year’s net sales converted at the current year’s foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation, and (2) direct-to-consumer sales with prior year’s net sales converted at the current year’s foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation. In light of store closures related to COVID-19, the Company has not disclosed comparable sales for Fiscal 2021.
The company also provides certain financial information on a constant currency basis to enhance investors’ understanding of underlying business trends and operating performance, by removing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year results and is net of the year-over-year impact from hedging. The per diluted share effect from foreign currency is calculated using a 26% tax rate.

(1) As disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2021, during the fourth quarter ended January 30, 2021, an error relating to the cash flow presentation of the $50 million withdrawal of the excess funds from the company’s Rabbi Trust assets was identified. The cash flows presented for the year-to-date periods ended May 2, 2020, August 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020 incorrectly classified such withdrawal as a cash inflow from operating activities, rather than a cash inflow from investing activities. This cash flow statement reflects the correct classification.
