Revolve Group, Inc. (RVLV) reported Q3 2020 financial results, with net income of $19 million, up 103% year-over-year. Despite a 2% decline in net sales to $151 million, gross profit increased by 1% to $83.5 million, achieving a gross margin of 55.3%, the highest for a third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA rose 66% to $24 million. Operating cash flow reached $14 million, reflecting strong operational efficiency. International sales grew 18% YoY, while beauty products saw over 100% sales growth. However, a decline in average order value by 16% and a projected sales dip in October raise concerns.

LOS ANGELES--()--Revolve Group, Inc. (NYSE: RVLV), the next-generation fashion retailer for Millennial and Generation Z consumers, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Strong execution on our merchandising and operational initiatives led to another quarter of record results. Despite the challenging backdrop and short-term pressures, we continued to drive efficiencies throughout the business in the third quarter, leading to higher margins and record profitability,” said co-founder and co-CEO Mike Karanikolas. “Our efforts resulted in record net income of $19 million, exceptional operating cash flows of $14 million, and record Adjusted EBITDA of $24 million, which increased 66% year-over-year. A key driver of our significantly increased profitability was our highest-ever gross margin for a third quarter, which reflects a high percentage of net sales at full price and improved inventory dynamics.”

Our strong results underscore the power of our brand, the strength of our business, and most importantly, the incredible execution of our team,” said co-founder and co-CEO Michael Mente. “We achieved the strong profitability while continuing to invest in key initiatives to maximize our growth potential over the long term, such as elevating our international service levels, further innovation in broadening our marketing playbook, and category expansion within our Owned Brands.”

Additional Third Quarter 2020 Metrics and Results Commentary

Net Sales

  • The 2% year-over-year (YoY) decline in net sales in the third quarter reflects a 10-point improvement on a sequential basis compared to the 12% YoY decline in net sales reported for the second quarter of 2020.
  • REVOLVE segment net sales were $130.6 million, a YoY decrease of 3.6%.
  • FORWARD segment net sales were $20.5 million, a YoY increase of 9.0%. The handbag category was a particularly strong contributor to FORWARD’s growth in the third quarter.
  • International net sales increased 18% YoY, outperforming the domestic net sales decline of 6% YoY. By territory, Australia, Canada and Western Europe each delivered strong double-digit growth in net sales YoY, partially offset by a more challenging comparison in Asia.
  • As previously disclosed, the prior-year comparison in the third quarter of 2019 included $1.5 million in net sales realized as a result of a change in estimate related to store credit breakage. Adjusting for the change in estimate in the prior-year quarter, total net sales declined 1% YoY in the third quarter of 2020.

Profitability and Operating Expense Drivers

  • Diluted earnings per share (EPS): Diluted EPS was $0.27, more than double the diluted EPS of $0.13 reported for the third quarter of 2019. The third quarter of 2020 benefitted from a lower effective tax rate of 9.8%, primarily due to excess tax benefits realized as a result of the exercise of non-qualified stock options during the third quarter of 2020. This compares to an effective tax rate of 25.6% in the prior-year period.
  • Gross margin: Gross margin was 55.3%, the highest-ever reported for a third quarter, up nearly two percentage points YoY from 53.6% in the third quarter of 2019. The strong gross margin benefitted from meaningfully improved inventory dynamics exiting the second quarter of 2020 that contributed to a YoY increase in the percentage of net sales at full-price and a YoY decrease in the depth of markdowns. In addition, we believe the external environment became less promotional in the third quarter on a sequential basis compared to the second quarter of 2020, particularly in the luxury segment. These positive contributors to gross margin were partially offset by a YoY decrease in the mix of Owned Brands as a percentage of REVOLVE segment net sales, consistent with the outlook shared on recent investor conference calls.
  • Operating expenses: Operating expenses remained highly efficient in the third quarter, reflecting outstanding execution by teams throughout the company while maintaining exceptional service levels for our customers.
    • Continuing benefit from lower return rates YoY: For the second consecutive quarter, operating efficiency within fulfillment and selling and distribution expenses continued to benefit from customers returning a lower proportion of their purchases. We attribute the significantly lower return rate YoY to a combination of more deliberate purchasing behavior by consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as a COVID-19 driven shift in mix to product categories with lower price points and lower return rates, such as beauty, and away from occasion wear, such as dresses, a category with a higher-than-average return rate. Key financial and operational benefits resulting from the lower return rate in the YoY comparison include lower required handling of units in our warehouse reflected within the fulfillment expense line and, in particular, reduced packaging, shipping and payment processor costs within selling and distribution expenses, where the majority of costs are shipping related. We expect that operating efficiencies realized from lower returns in the fulfillment and selling and distribution expense lines may compress in the future if return rates continue to normalize towards pre-COVID 19 levels in the coming quarters. Since bottoming out in the second quarter of 2020, our estimated return rate increased for each month of the third quarter of 2020 and appears to be headed higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as well. We do, however, expect the return rate in the fourth quarter of 2020 to remain lower on a YoY basis.
    • Marketing: Marketing efficiency YoY in the third quarter once again primarily reflects reduced investment in brand marketing events since hosting in-person REVOLVE events remained on pause to ensure the safety of our community and in adherence with social distancing requirements. It is important to note that brand building investments will remain a key driver of our growth strategy, and are particularly important for the acquisition of new customers. As a result, we do not expect the total marketing expense as a percentage of net sales to remain at the significantly reduced levels we have reported for the past two quarters during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • COVID-19 related cost containment actions: As previously announced, general and administrative expenses benefitted from COVID-19 cost containment efforts that were enacted for a portion of the third quarter, including reduced wages for executives and paused retainers for outside board members. By the end of the third quarter, we had restored all wages and salaries for active employees to the pre-COVID run rates and had resumed payment of retainers to outside board members.
  • Record net income and Adjusted EBITDA: The strong YoY increase in gross margin, effective cost controls and operating efficiencies collectively resulted in record net income and Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter, an increase of 103% and 66%, respectively -- despite the slight YoY decline in net sales.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

  • The combination of exceptional profitability, efficient management of inventory and our capital efficiency led to another strong quarter of cash flow generation. Free cash flow was $13.9 million, a YoY increase of 86%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, free cash flow was $74.4 million, more than doubling our free cash flow reported for all of 2019.
  • The strong cash flow further strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 were $158.7 million, an increase of $7.9 million from $150.8 million as of June 30, 2020, despite the repayment of $9 million on our line of credit during the third quarter.
  • Cash and cash equivalents have increased by $107.6 million YoY when compared to the $51.1 million as of September 30, 2019.
  • As of September 30, 2020, $15 million remained drawn on the line of credit, a decrease of $9 million from $24 million drawn as of June 30, 2020. We had no amounts drawn on the line of credit in the year-ago period.
  • Inventory was $73.6 million, an increase of $9.1 million, or 14%, from June 30, 2020.
  • Inventory decreased $30.2 million YoY, or 29%, from the inventory balance of $103.7 million as of September 30, 2019. By comparison, net sales declined just 2% YoY, illustrating our increased inventory efficiency.
  • Going forward, we intend to continue to invest in our inventory position, particularly in targeted categories that reflect current lifestyle trends such as loungewear, athleisure, and knits.

Results Since the End of Q3 2020

COVID-19 has continued to have a negative impact on REVOLVE’s operations and financial results in recent weeks since the end of the third quarter. The macro environment remains highly uncertain, as demonstrated by many U.S. states and international countries reporting higher levels of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, and in many instances, imposing additional social distancing restrictions. We believe the absence of an expanded U.S. stimulus measure in recent months, combined with high unemployment rates, adds to the challenging climate for our customer demographic.

During the month of October 2020, net sales declined by a high single digit percentage year-over-year. The performance of product categories in the third quarter of 2020 demonstrates that customer shopping and purchasing behavior continues to be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sales of apparel products frequently worn at home and styles for active lifestyles have remained strong. In particular, categories such as beauty, accessories, intimates, sweaters / knits and swimwear remained strong in the third quarter. Beauty was the standout with net sales increasing more than 100% YoY for the second consecutive quarter. On the other hand, outfits for special occasions, such as dresses and skirts, continued to face tough YoY comparisons as many social events have remained on pause.

We continue to be excited about the growth potential for newer categories, such as beauty that is undergoing an accelerating shift from offline to online distribution and a category in which our target customer demographic regularly looks to influencers for beauty product inspiration. Rapid expansion of net sales into newer categories like beauty creates an exciting opportunity to acquire new customers and develop deeper relationships with existing customers over time by serving more of their needs, potentially capturing a greater share of their discretionary spending over the long term.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating Metrics

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we reference in this press release and the accompanying tables the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and adjusted diluted EPS.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our ongoing core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included at the end of this release

Definitions of our Non-GAAP financial measures and other operating metrics are presented below.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income before other (income) expense, net; (benefit from) provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization; adjusted to exclude the effects of equity-based compensation expense and certain non-routine items. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of the impact of equity-based compensation, excludes an item that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We view free cash flow as an important indicator of our liquidity because it measures the amount of cash we generate. Free cash flow also reflects changes in working capital.

Adjusted Diluted EPS

Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as diluted earnings (net loss) per share adjusted to exclude the per share impact of the issuance and repurchase of Class B common stock as part of our initial public offering.

Active Customers

We define an active customer as a unique customer account from which a purchase was made across our platform at least once in the preceding 12-month period. In any particular period, we determine our number of active customers by counting the total number of customers who have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, measured from the last date of such period.

Orders Placed

We define total orders placed as the total number of customer orders placed by our customers across our platform in any period.

Average Order Value

We define average order value as the sum of the total gross sales from our sites in a given period divided by the total orders placed in that period. We believe our high average order value demonstrates the premium nature of our product. Average order value varies depending on the site through which we sell merchandise.
