SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. (NYSE: AKA), a brand accelerator of next generation fashion brands, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Results for the Second Quarter

• Net sales increased 6.2% to $158.5 million, compared to $149.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Net loss was $(4.2) million or $(0.03) per share in the second quarter of 2022, compared to net income attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. of $2.4 million or $0.03 per share in the second quarter of 2021.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $5.9 million, or 3.7% of net sales, compared to $19.4 million, or 13.0% of net sales in the second quarter of 2021.

“I want to recognize and appreciate our teams for their hard work delivering double-digit sales growth¹ this quarter on top of impressive growth last year and their continued agility navigating a complex macro environment. We remain incredibly focused on enhancing profitability by maintaining discipline around inventory and carefully controlling expenses. Looking ahead, our differentiated brands, flexible model and talented teams give me great confidence in our long-term profitable growth potential,” said Jill Ramsey, a.k.a. Brands CEO.

Recent Business Highlights

• Princess Polly continues to differentiate competitively with growth in their sustainable Earth Club collection and is well positioned to optimize marketing effectiveness in the back-half of 2022.
• Culture Kings is back to generating traffic and hype with in-store events and remains on track to open their Las Vegas flagship by year end. Newly hired U.S. president brings deep expertise.
• Petal & Pup continues as our fastest growing brand, leveraging Princess Polly’s successful playbook.
• mnml is now sold in stores and online at Culture Kings with strong early response and their successful graphic tee collection leverages Culture Kings’ print-on-demand capabilities.

Second Quarter Financial Details

• Net sales increased 6.2% to $158.5 million, compared to $149.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by a 12% increase in the number of orders processed, partially offset by a 4% decrease in the average order value during the quarter. The increase in the number of orders was primarily driven by the growth of Princess Polly in the U.S. and the inclusion of mnml. The decrease in average order value was primarily due to higher promotional activity and higher return rates.
• Gross margin was 55.2% in the second quarter of 2022, versus 54.6% in the same period last year. The 60 basis point increase in gross margin rate was primarily due to a detrimental $6.3 million impact in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from the fair value increase in inventory acquired in the Culture Kings acquisition, partially offset by higher air freight expense, higher promotional activity and higher return rates.
• Selling expenses were $45.3 million, compared to $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. Selling expenses were 28.6% of net sales compared to 26.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in selling expenses as a percent of net sales was primarily due to a $1.3 million charge related to a change in the third-party fulfillment provider for Culture Kings and mnml.
• Marketing expenses were $19.1 million, compared to $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in marketing dollars was driven primarily by the inclusion of mnml and increased marketing investment. Marketing expenses were 12.0% of net sales compared to 10.0% of net sales in the second quarter of 2021, with the increase due to reduced effectiveness of our marketing channels at driving traffic to our websites, as well as the inclusion of mnml, which had a higher rate of advertising spend.
• General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $25.7 million, compared to $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. G&A expenses were 16.2% of net sales compared to 12.9% of net sales in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in G&A expenses during the quarter was primarily due to an increase in salaries and related benefits and equity-based compensation expense related to increases in headcount across functions to support business growth, the inclusion of mnml and additional insurance costs.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $5.9 million, or 3.7% of net sales, compared to $19.4 million, or 13.0% of net sales in the second quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

• Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter totaled $29.1 million compared to $38.8 million at the end of fiscal year 2021.
• Inventory at the end of the second quarter totaled $143.9 million compared to $115.8 million at the end of fiscal year 2021.
• Debt at the end of the second quarter totaled $131.2 million, compared to $108.8 million at the end of fiscal year 2021. The Company drew $25.0 million on its revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2022.
• Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $(23.6) million, compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Outlook

For the full year fiscal 2022, the Company expects:

• Net sales between $625 million and $635 million
• Adjusted EBITDA³ of between $38 million and $40 million
• Capital expenditures of approximately $18 million to $20 million

For the third quarter of 2022, the Company expects:

• Net sales between $150 million and $153 million
• Adjusted EBITDA³ of between $9.0 million and $9.2 million
• Interest expense of approximately $2.2 million
• Weighted average diluted share count of 129 million

The above outlook is based on several assumptions, including but not limited to, continued foreign exchange rate pressure, the promotional environment and an elevated return rate. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating Metrics

In addition to results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance measures such as net income, as adjusted, net income per share, as adjusted, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and pro forma net sales for purposes of evaluating ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP operating measures, when reviewed collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance. See additional information at the end of this release regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

Active Customers

We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth, the value proposition and consumer awareness of our brand, and their desire to purchase our products. In any particular period, we determine our number of active customers by counting the total number of unique customer accounts who have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, measured from the last date of such period.

Average Order Value

We define average order value (“AOV”) as net sales in a given period divided by the total orders placed in that period. AOV may fluctuate as we expand into new categories or geographies or as our assortment changes.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key performance measures that management uses to assess our operating performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes.

We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business. We expect Adjusted EBITDA margin to increase over the long-term as we continue to scale our business and achieve greater leverage in our operating expenses.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude: interest and other expense; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; costs to establish or relocate distribution centers; transaction costs; and one-time or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules because it excludes certain amounts included in net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022				2021				2022				2021

Net Loss, As Adjusted and Net Loss Per Share, As Adjusted

Net loss, as adjusted and net loss per share, as adjusted are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC’s rules because they exclude certain amounts included in net loss and net loss per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that net loss, as adjusted and net loss per share, as adjusted are meaningful measures to share with investors because they better enable comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period. In addition, net loss, as adjusted and net loss per share, as adjusted afford investors a view of what management considers a.k.a.’s core earnings performance and the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance with that of the prior year.

We have calculated net loss, as adjusted and net loss per share, as adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2022 by adjusting net loss and net loss per share for the inventory step-up amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of mnml.

There were no adjustments to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share for any other periods or comparable periods otherwise shown in this document. A reconciliation of non-GAAP net loss, as adjusted to net loss, as well as the resulting calculation of net loss per share, as adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:

		Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Net loss		$	(2,687	)
Adjustments:
Inventory step-up amortization expense			707
Tax effects of adjustments			(212	)
Net loss, as adjusted		$	(2,192	)
Net loss per share, as adjusted		$	(0.02	)
Weighted-average shares, diluted			128,652,580

Pro Forma Net Sales

Pro forma net sales is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules. We believe that pro forma net sales is useful information for investors as it provides a better understanding of sales performance, and relative changes therein, on a comparable basis. We calculate pro forma net sales as net sales including the historical net sales relating to the pre-acquisition periods of Culture Kings, assuming that the Company acquired Culture Kings at the beginning of the period presented. Pro forma net sales is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would have been if the acquisition had in fact occurred on the date or for the periods indicated nor does it purport to project net sales for any future periods or as of any date. A reconciliation of non-GAAP pro forma net sales to net sales, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, for each quarter in 2021 and 2020, is as follows:
