Insights

Victoria's Secret's Q4 results demonstrate resilience in a challenging retail environment, with 5% comparable sales growth and $2.106 billion in net sales (up 1% YoY). The company outperformed expectations with Q4 adjusted operating income of $299 million versus $283 million last year, while adjusted EPS reached $2.60, exceeding Wall Street forecasts.

Digging deeper, the company's performance reflects successful holiday execution across merchandise categories and channels. A $26 million accounting adjustment for gift card breakage boosted results, but even excluding this item, comparable sales growth was solid at 4%.

For the full year, Victoria's Secret delivered $6.23 billion in sales (up 1% YoY) and significantly improved profitability with adjusted operating income of $373 million versus $327 million in 2023. The 14.1% increase in full-year adjusted operating income indicates more efficient operations and better expense management.

The forward guidance reveals caution, however. Q1 2025 revenue is projected at $1.30-1.33 billion, below the $1.359 billion reported in Q1 2024, reflecting management's concerns about consumer confidence and unseasonable weather. Full-year 2025 guidance of $6.2-6.3 billion in sales and $300-350 million in adjusted operating income suggests potential margin compression ahead.

Victoria's Secret is effectively balancing growth initiatives against macro pressures, with strong inventory management in a promotional environment. The balance of positive recent results against conservative forward guidance makes this a neutral catalyst for investors.

Fourth quarter comparable sales increase 5%
Operating Income and EPS exceed expectations
Provides initial full year and first quarter 2025 guidance

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victoria’s Secret & Co. (“VS&Co” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VSCO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.

“I am pleased with the strength of our fourth quarter holiday results, which saw sales up in both our Victoria’s Secret and PINK brands and our powerhouse Beauty business. Sales increased across most major merchandise categories, in our stores and digital channels, and in both our North America and International businesses. We won in the big moments of the quarter and gained more than our fair share of the traffic in the mall and online. The teams focused on execution and drove healthy margins, controlled costs, and managed inventory levels extremely well in a highly competitive and promotional holiday environment,” said VS&Co CEO Hillary Super.

“During the holiday season we clearly connected emotionally with our customer through our merchandise offering of the accessible luxuries she loves. After my first holiday season with the business, I continue to be optimistic about our future, our opportunity to further differentiate the brands with compelling storytelling and make even deeper emotional connections with our customers. As we look forward to 2025 and the future, we recognize there are near-term headwinds and ongoing uncertainty in the macro environment which we will manage aggressively while also working to build upon our solid foundation, realize the full potential of our brands and drive long-term, sustainable growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results
The Company reported net sales of $2.106 billion for the 13-week fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 1% compared to net sales of $2.082 billion for the 14-week fourth quarter of 2023. Total comparable sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 5%.

The Company reported net income of $193 million, or $2.33 per diluted share for the 13-week fourth quarter of 2024. This result compares to net income of $181 million, or $2.29 per diluted share for the 14-week fourth quarter of 2023. Operating income for the 13-week fourth quarter of 2024 was $268 million compared to $258 million in the 14-week fourth quarter of 2023.

Excluding the impact of the items described at the conclusion of this press release, adjusted net income for the 13-week fourth quarter of 2024 was $216 million, or $2.60 per diluted share. This result compares to adjusted net income of $204 million, or $2.58 per diluted share for the 14-week fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating income for the 13-week fourth quarter of 2024 was $299 million compared to $283 million in the 14-week fourth quarter of 2023.

In addition to the items described at the conclusion of this press release, in the fourth quarter of 2024 the Company recorded a change in its accounting estimate relating to expected future redemption on outstanding gift cards issued by the Company. As a result of this change in accounting estimate, the Company recognized a cumulative adjustment which increased net sales, gross margin, and operating income by approximately $26 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Excluding the impact from the change in accounting estimate relating to outstanding gift cards, fourth quarter 2024 net sales increased approximately 4%, or at the high-end of our previously communicated guidance range of 3% to 4% (excluding the impact of the extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023), and fourth quarter 2024 adjusted operating income would have been $273 million, or slightly above the high-end of our previously communicated guidance range of $260 million to $270 million.

As a reminder, the Company estimated the extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023 represented approximately $80 million in incremental net sales, approximately $20 million in incremental operating income and incremental net income per diluted share of approximately $0.20.

Full Year 2024 Results
The Company reported net sales of $6.230 billion for the 52-week fiscal year 2024, an increase of 1% compared to net sales of $6.182 billion for the 53-week fiscal year 2023. Total comparable sales for fiscal year 2024 were flat.

The Company reported net income of $165 million, or $2.05 per diluted share for the 52-week fiscal year 2024. This result compares to net income of $109 million, or $1.39 per diluted share for the 53-week fiscal year 2023. Operating income for the 52-week fiscal year 2024 was $310 million compared to $246 million in the 53-week fiscal year 2023.

Excluding the impact of the items described at the conclusion of this press release, adjusted net income for the 52-week fiscal year 2024 was $218 million, or $2.69 per diluted share. This result compares to adjusted net income of $178 million, or $2.27 per diluted share for the 53-week fiscal year 2023. Adjusted operating income for the 52-week fiscal year 2024 was $373 million compared to $327 million in the 53-week fiscal year 2023.

Excluding the impact from the change in accounting estimate relating to outstanding gift cards, fiscal year 2024 net sales increased approximately 2%, or at the high-end of our previously communicated guidance range of 1% to 2% (excluding the impact of the extra week in fiscal year 2023), and adjusted operating income would have been $347 million, or slightly above the high-end of our previously communicated guidance range of $315 million to $345 million.

Full Year and First Quarter 2025 Outlook
As we begin the new year, we recognize the macro environment is uncertain and consumer confidence has shifted. In addition, much of the U.S. experienced unseasonal weather creating an additional headwind to start the year, which is considered in our guidance for the first quarter. The Company is forecasting net sales for the first quarter of 2025 to be in the range of $1.30 billion to $1.33 billion compared to last year’s first quarter net sales of $1.359 billion. At this forecasted level of net sales, adjusted operating income for the first quarter of 2025 is expected to be in the range of $10 million to $30 million.

Looking ahead, our forecast assumes that the environment will gradually get better as we move through the year and as we execute on our strategies designed to grow sales in both our North America and International businesses. The Company is forecasting fiscal year 2025 net sales to be in the range of $6.2 billion to $6.3 billion compared to net sales of $6.204 billion in fiscal year 2024, which excludes the gift card breakage benefit of $26 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024. At this forecasted level of net sales, adjusted operating income for fiscal year 2025 is expected to be in the range of $300 million to $350 million.

Forecasted adjusted operating income for the first quarter and full year 2025 excludes the financial impact of purchase accounting items related to the Adore Me acquisition, including expense (income) related to changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and performance-based payments, as well as the amortization of intangible assets. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted operating income to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate reconciliation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of, and quantifying, the various purchase accounting items that are necessary for such reconciliation.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Unaudited)
(In thousands except per share amounts)
 
 In addition to our results provided in accordance with GAAP, provided below are non-GAAP financial measures that present operating income, net income attributable to Victoria's Secret & Co. and net income per diluted share attributable to Victoria's Secret & Co. on an adjusted basis, which remove certain non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items that we believe are not indicative of the results of our ongoing operations due to their size and nature. The intangible asset amortization excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is excluded because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. We use adjusted financial information as key performance measures of our results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. These non-GAAP measurements are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Instead, we believe that the presentation of adjusted financial information provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. Further, our definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table below reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure.
