Insights

Financial Analyst

a.k.a. Brands' Q2 2024 results show positive momentum, particularly in the U.S. market. Net sales increased 9.5% year-over-year to $148.9 million, with U.S. sales up an impressive 19.3%. The company's focus on customer acquisition is paying off, with active customers growing 11.7% on a trailing twelve-month basis.

The improved financial performance is evident in the narrowed net loss of $2.3 million compared to $5.0 million in Q2 2023. Notably, Adjusted EBITDA increased 44% to $8.0 million, indicating better operational efficiency. The gross margin improvement to 57.7% from 56.9% is encouraging, despite challenges from wholesale and marketplace initiatives.

However, investors should note the increase in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales and the company's rising debt levels. The outlook for Q3 and full-year 2024 suggests continued growth, but with potential headwinds from macroeconomic pressures in Australia and New Zealand.

Retail Industry Expert

a.k.a. Brands' expansion strategy is noteworthy, particularly the accelerated rollout of Princess Polly stores. With five new locations planned for 2024, the company is capitalizing on the brand's popularity and exploring omnichannel opportunities. This move could enhance brand visibility and drive customer engagement.

The success of Petal & Pup's omnichannel expansion to major platforms like Nordstrom, Target and Macy's is a significant win. This not only broadens the brand's reach but also validates its appeal to a wider audience. The company's ability to leverage this success for other brands, such as mnml's test on Nordstrom.com, demonstrates a scalable strategy.

Culture Kings' continued strong performance in the U.S., coupled with new licensing deals, indicates the brand's growing traction in a key market. However, the company must navigate the challenges of inventory management and declining average order values, particularly in the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Net Sales Increased 9.5% Compared to the Second Quarter of 2023, with U.S. Net Sales Up 19.3%

Active Customer Growth of 11.7% on a Trailing Twelve-Month Basis Compared to the Second Quarter of 2023

On Track to Open Five Princess Polly Stores in 2024

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 quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Results for the Second Quarter

• Net sales increased 9.5% to $148.9 million, compared to $136.0 million in the second quarter of 2023; up 10.1% on a constant currency basis¹.
• In the U.S., net sales increased 19.3% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
• Net loss was $(2.3) million, or $(0.22) per share, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to net loss of $(5.0) million, or $(0.47) per share, in the second quarter of 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA² was $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.

“Our second quarter results exceeded our expectations, showcasing the strength of our brands and the power of our business model. We delivered net sales growth of over 9%, driven by the momentum in our U.S. region, where net sales grew more than 19% year-over-year. Importantly, our strong top-line growth translated into adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million, an increase of 44% compared to the same quarter last year. We continued to execute against our strategic priorities with an emphasis on our customers, and I'm very pleased that our active customer base increased by nearly 12% on a trailing twelve-month basis. Our strong second quarter results are a clear indication that demand for our brands is strong and that we have tremendous growth opportunities ahead of us,” said Ciaran Long, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

“I am pleased to report that in addition to three planned new Princess Polly store openings previously announced, we have signed two new leases for additional locations in Irvine and Santa Clara, California, which will bring the Princess Polly physical presence to six locations. Petal & Pup’s expanded omni-channel presence, now on Nordstrom.com, Target.com and Macys.com, far exceeded our expectations, setting the stage for continued growth and brand expansion. Leveraging Petal & Pup’s omni-channel success, our streetwear brand mnml launched a test on Nordstrom.com, and our Culture Kings U.S. business delivered another quarter of strong double-digit net sales growth on top of strong results last year.

“Executing at a high level while delivering innovative strategies to meet our customers where and when they want to shop our portfolio of brands strengthens my confidence in the many profitable future growth opportunities we see for a.k.a. Brands, particularly the tremendous whitespace we see in the U.S. to expand our brand portfolio reach and total addressable market,” concluded Long.

Brand Highlights

• Princess Polly is on track to open stores in the Scottsdale Fashion Square and Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego in the third quarter of 2024 and stores in Boston, Santa Clara and Irvine in the fourth quarter of 2024.
• Culture Kings U.S. registered another quarter of strong double-digit net sales growth and launched new licenses and graphics including Pokemon, WWE, NHL and Halo, with more exclusive collaborations to come in the latter half of the year.
• Petal & Pup’s expanded omni-channel presence has far exceeded expectations, setting the stage for continued growth and brand expansion.
• mnml continues to expand its omni-channel distribution with successful tests on Nordstrom.com and other retailers.

Second Quarter Financial Details

• Net sales increased 9.5% to $148.9 million, compared to $136.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by a 16% increase in the number of orders, due to growth in the U.S., partially offset by a decline in the average order value compared to the prior quarter, driven by adverse macroeconomic conditions in Australia and New Zealand and actions taken to improve our inventory position at Culture Kings. On a constant currency basis¹, net sales increased 10%.
• Gross margin was 57.7%, compared to 56.9% in the second quarter of 2023. The improvement was primarily driven by lower inbound air freight costs and duties, partially offset by the impact of growing wholesale initiatives, as well as growing marketplace initiatives, which have a higher return rate.
• Selling expenses were $41.2 million, compared to $35.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. Selling expenses were 27.7% of net sales, compared to 26.4% of net sales in the second quarter of 2023. The increases were driven by the impact from growing marketplace initiatives and additional stores.
• Marketing expenses were $18.3 million, compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Marketing expenses were 12.3% of net sales, compared to 13.5% of net sales in the second quarter of 2023.
• General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $25.9 million, compared to $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. G&A expenses were 17.4% of net sales, compared to 17.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in G&A expenses as a percent of net sales during the quarter was primarily driven by higher net sales compared to the second quarter of 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA² was $8.0 million, or 5.4% of net sales, compared to $5.6 million, or 4.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2023.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

• Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter totaled $25.5 million.
• Inventory at the end of the second quarter totaled $106.7 million, compared to $91.0 million at the end of fiscal year 2023, or compared to $106.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
• Debt at the end of the second quarter totaled $106.9 million, compared to $93.4 million at the end of fiscal year 2023, or compared to $120.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
• Cash flow used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.2 million, compared to cash flow from operations of $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Outlook

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects:

• Net sales between $141 million and $145 million
• Adjusted EBITDA³ between $6.0 million and $7.0 million
• Weighted average diluted share count of 10.6 million

For the full year fiscal 2024, the Company now expects:

• Net sales between $560 million and $565 million
• Adjusted EBITDA³ between $20 million and $22 million
• Weighted average diluted share count of 10.6 million

The above outlook is based on several assumptions, including but not limited to, foreign exchange rates remaining at the current levels, the opening of four to five Princess Polly stores and continued macroeconomic pressures, specifically in Australia and New Zealand. 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 financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for purposes of evaluating ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. 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, our 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 non-GAAP financial 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 (loss) adjusted to exclude: interest and other expense; provision for income (benefit from) taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; equity-based compensation expense; costs to establish or relocate distribution centers; transaction costs; costs related to severance from headcount reductions; goodwill and intangible asset impairment; sales tax penalties; insured losses, net of any recoveries; and one-time or non-recurring items. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC’s rules because they exclude certain amounts included in net income (loss) and net income (loss) margin, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

¹ In order to provide a framework for assessing the performance of our underlying business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations, we compare the percent change in the results from one period to another period using a constant currency methodology wherein current and comparative prior period results for our operations reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at constant exchange rates (i.e., the rates in effect on December 31, 2023, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year) rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.
² See additional information at the end of this release regarding non-GAAP financial measures.
³ The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to a GAAP net income outlook because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to project certain reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, future equity-based compensation expense, income taxes, interest expense and transaction costs. These items are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control or ability to predict. See additional information at the end of this release regarding non-GAAP financial measures.
