Insights

The Q3 results reveal significant challenges for Duluth Holdings with $127.1 million in net sales, marking an 8.1% decline year-over-year. The $28.5 million net loss and adjusted net loss of $13.8 million indicate substantial deterioration from the prior year's $10.5 million loss.

While gross margin improved by 210 basis points to 52.3% due to sourcing initiatives, the company faces operational headwinds with SG&A expenses increasing to 65.2% of net sales. The fulfillment center restructuring, while incurring $7.7 million in expenses, should yield annual savings of approximately $5 million.

The revised guidance suggesting margin compression and SG&A deleverage indicates continued pressure on profitability. However, the company maintains strong liquidity of $165.3 million, providing financial flexibility during this challenging period.

Duluth's performance reflects broader retail industry challenges, with both direct-to-consumer and retail store segments showing weakness. The 8.3% decline in direct-to-consumer sales and 7.8% decrease in retail store sales highlight consumer spending constraints and weather-related impacts.

The company's strategic focus on inventory management and operational efficiency through the Adairsville fulfillment center shows promise, with fulfillment costs at 27% of legacy centers. The appointment of a new Chief Merchant and implementation of Enterprise Planning initiatives suggest a comprehensive approach to addressing operational challenges.

However, the revised outlook and continued pressure on transactions despite higher digital traffic indicate persistent headwinds in the near term, though Black Friday and Cyber Monday improvements offer some optimism.

Benefiting from our product and sourcing initiatives, gross margin expands 210 basis points to 52.3%

Management Commentary

President and CEO, Sam Sato commented, “Impacted by a combination of uncertain macro environment and unseasonably warm weather, our third quarter performance did not meet our expectations. Despite the macro and weather-related impacts, we were pleased to see growth in our average order value and a double-digit increase in digital traffic. That said, these were not enough to offset the year-over-year contraction in transactions. As a result, we began taking the necessary actions to increase our unit selling velocity beginning in late October and I am pleased to report that our top line trends have meaningfully improved leading into the all-important black Friday week and continued through cyber Monday.”

“As we enter the final peak selling weeks of the Holiday season, we are committed to prudently managing our inventory and ending the fiscal year in a clean, high quality position.”

“Looking past fiscal 2024, leveraging our advanced sourcing and product innovation functions, and led by our new Chief Merchant Eli Getson, we are significantly enhancing our go-forward assortment and inventory management.”

“Key initiatives tied to our Big Dam Blueprint are delivering tangible improvements including product cost reductions driven by our successful direct sourcing initiative and another quarter of cost per unit fulfillment benefits, a direct result from leveraging our fully operational and highly automated Adairsville fulfillment center. There is much work ahead of us and we are laser focused on improving operational and financial performance over the long term.”

Sato concluded, “As we look ahead to 2025 and beyond, we are building upon the success of our strategic initiatives, making meaningful progress on structural improvements, and embarking on Enterprise Planning, an end-to-end cross functional initiative to significantly enhance our operational and strategic planning processes.”

Operating Results for the Third Quarter ended October 27, 2024

Net sales decreased 8.1% to $127.1 million, compared to $138.2 million in the same period a year ago. Direct to-consumer net sales decreased by 8.3% to $79.8 million primarily driven by lower site conversion compared to the prior year. Retail store net sales decreased by 7.8% to $47.2 million due to slower store traffic, partially offset by strong conversion rates.

Gross profit margin increased 210 basis points to 52.3%, compared to 50.2% in the corresponding prior year driven by our sourcing initiative. Gross profit decreased to $66.4 million, compared to $69.4 million in the corresponding prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1.2% to $82.9 million, compared to $81.8 million in the same period a year ago. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses deleveraged to 65.2%, compared to 59.2% in the corresponding prior year period mainly driven by higher fixed costs and depreciation from foundational strategic investments, partially offset by efficiencies across logistics and the fulfillment center network.

As part of the Company’s in-depth review of the retail portfolio strategy, fulfillment center network, and benchmarking to identify structural opportunities to improve operating margin, working capital, and asset efficiency, the Company identified phase two of the fulfillment center network plan to maximize productivity and capacity.

As previously mentioned, during the third quarter last year, the Company went live with a highly automated fulfillment center in Adairsville, Georgia. The Adairsville facility processed over 65% of total network volume, has shortened delivery times while driving lower cost per unit to fulfill an order, which was 27% of the cost of the three legacy fulfillment centers during the third quarter. The success and productivity from the critical Adairsville facility investment allowed the Company to implement phase two of its overall fulfillment center network plan. The lease amendment for one of its legacy fulfillment centers, accelerating the lease expiration date from September 2030 to October 2024 was successfully completed in Q3.

The Company incurred total restructuring expenses related to the lease amendment of $7.7 million during the second and third quarters of 2024, $6.2 million of which was recognized during the third quarter.

Exiting the legacy facility is projected to reduce overhead expenses by approximately $1.2 million during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The Company expects an expense reduction of approximately $5.0 million and cash savings of $4.0 million annually. 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company ended the quarter with $9.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, net working capital of $60.6 million, $44.0 million outstanding debt on the Duluth Trading $200 million revolving line of credit and $165.3 million of liquidity.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

The Company is issuing new guidance for its fiscal 2024, superseding its previous guidance. For fiscal 2024, the Company now expects:

  • Net sales of approximately $640 million
  • Full year gross margin reduction of approximately 125 basis points versus prior year
  • SG&A expenses, excluding the sales tax contingency, to deleverage by approximately 80 bps versus prior year
  • Capital expenditures, inclusive of software hosting implementation costs, of approximately $23 million

Non-GAAP Measurements

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Within this release, including the tables attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted net loss and adjusted earnings per share (EPS). See attached table “Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA,” for a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended October 27, 2024, versus the three and nine months ended October 29, 2023 and attached table “Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss to Adjusted EPS,” for a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss to adjusted EPS for the three and nine months ended October 27, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EPS is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into the effectiveness of our business strategies and to compare our performance against that of peer companies. Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EPS excludes restructuring expenses and a one-time estimated sales tax accrual that are not comparable from period to period.

The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
