Through the first nine months of 2017, net sales increased $30.5 million, or 2 percent, to a record $1,690.1 million, compared to $1,659.6 million in the comparable 2016 period. Year-to-date 2017 net income increased 5 percent, to $112.2 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, including program expenses and discrete costs of approximately $5.4 million net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to Project CONNECT, compared to net income of $107.2 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, in the comparable 2016 period.
President and Chief Executive Officer Tim Boyle commented, "We're pleased to report better than expected third quarter results, including continued strong sales growth in our European wholesale and U.S. direct-to-consumer businesses, as well as growth in each of our international regions. While our U.S. business adapts to ongoing structural changes, our improved profitability outside the U.S. illustrates the strength of our global business model.
"We are also pleased to reiterate our full year 2017 financial outlook, which now incorporates the anticipated costs of Project CONNECT. In addition, based upon advance orders for Spring 2018 we are optimistic that we will continue to generate global growth, including a return to growth in our U.S. wholesale business in the first half of 2018.
"Our powerful balance sheet, with $430 million in cash and no long-term debt, provides the flexibility to adapt our business as our major markets evolve. It is from this position of strength and confidence that we are moving steadily forward on Project CONNECT, identifying strategic organizational and operational initiatives to accelerate execution of our strategic plan and to increase demand creation to drive further profitable growth in 2018 and beyond."
Third Quarter Results
(All comparisons are between third quarter 2017 and third quarter 2016, unless otherwise noted.)
Third quarter consolidated net sales increased less than 1 percent (declined less than 1 percent constant-currency), including:
• | 20 percent net sales growth in the EMEA region (15 percent constant-currency), to $87.5 million, including a net sales increase of more than 20 percent (high-teen percent constant-currency) in the company's European wholesale and direct-to-consumer businesses, and a low-double-digit percentage increase in net sales to EMEA distributors; |
• | 9 percent net sales growth in the LAAP region (11 percent constant-currency), to $123.0 million, reflecting increased net sales to LAAP distributors and increased net sales in China and Korea, partially offset by a small net sales decline in Japan; and |
• | 8 percent net sales growth in Canada (4 percent constant-currency), to $80.9 million; |
partially offset by:
• | a 6 percent net sales decline in the U.S. to $456.0 million, consisting of a low-double-digit percentage decline in wholesale net sales, partially offset by low-double-digit percentage growth in direct-to-consumer net sales. (See "Geographical Net Sales" table below.) |
Global Columbia brand net sales increased 2 percent to $598.3 million. Global SOREL brand net sales decreased 7 percent (8 percent constant-currency) to $81.7 million.

The effective income tax rate was 26.4 percent in the third quarter of 2017, reflecting a favorable shift in the geographic mix of taxable income compared to the 29.7 percent effective income tax rate for the same period in 2016.
2
Third quarter net income increased 5 percent to $87.7 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, including program expenses and discrete costs of approximately $2.1 million net of tax, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to Project CONNECT, compared with third quarter 2016 net income of $83.6 million, or $1.18 per diluted share.
Balance Sheet
The company ended the quarter with $430.3 million of cash and short-term investments, compared with $219.7 million at September 30, 2016.
Consolidated inventories of $558.6 million at September 30, 2017 were 5 percent lower than the $588.0 million balance at September 30, 2016.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
During the first nine months of 2017, the company repurchased 665,095 shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $35.5 million. No repurchases were made during the third quarter. At September 30, 2017, approximately $137.9 million remained available under the current stock repurchase authorization, which does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares or to acquire shares over any specified period of time.
The board of directors authorized a 6 percent increase in the company's regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.19 per share, payable on November 30, 2017 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2017.
Updated 2017 Financial Outlook
All projections related to anticipated future results are forward-looking in nature and are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially. Projections are predicated on normal seasonal weather globally. In addition, our 2017 outlook assumes that current macro and market conditions in key markets do not worsen for the balance of the year.
The company's annual net sales are weighted more heavily toward the Fall season, while operating expenses are more equally distributed throughout the year, resulting in a highly seasonal profitability pattern weighted toward the second half of the fiscal year.
Compared with the company's previous 2017 financial outlook provided on July 27, the following updated 2017 financial outlook now includes program expenses and discrete costs related to Project CONNECT of approximately $15.0 million ($9.5 million net of tax, or $0.14 per diluted share). Approximately $8.6 million ($5.4 million net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share) has been incurred through the first nine months of 2017.
The company currently expects 2017 net sales growth of approximately 3 percent compared with 2016 net sales of $2.38 billion, including less than 1 percentage point positive effect from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The company expects fiscal year 2017 gross margins to improve by approximately 20 basis points compared with 2016 gross margins of 46.7 percent, and for selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses to increase approximately 5.4 percent compared with 2016 SG&A expenses, including program expenses and discrete costs of approximately $15.0 million related to Project CONNECT and a planned increase in global demand creation spend, resulting in approximately 80 basis points of SG&A expense deleverage compared with our SG&A expense ratio of 36.4 percent in 2016. The full year effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 23 percent.
Based on the above assumptions, the company expects 2017 operating income between approximately $243 million and $252 million, representing anticipated 2017 operating margin of up to approximately 10.3 percent. Net income attributable to Columbia Sportswear Company is expected to be between approximately $183 million and $190 million, or approximately $2.60 to $2.70 per diluted share.

A public webcast of Columbia's earnings conference call will follow at 5:00 p.m. ET at www.columbia.com.
Supplemental Constant-Currency Financial Information
The company reports its financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). To supplement financial information reported in accordance with GAAP, the company discloses constant-currency net sales information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to provide a framework to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of changes in the exchange rates used to translate net sales generated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. The company calculates constant-currency net sales by translating net sales in foreign currencies for the current period into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates that were in effect during the comparable period of the prior year. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional and useful way of viewing an aspect of our operations that, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results, provides a more comprehensive understanding of our business and operations. In particular, investors may find the non-GAAP measures useful by reviewing our net sales results without the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management's internal comparisons to our historical net sales results and comparisons to competitors' net sales results. Constant-currency financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. (See "Supplemental Financial Information - Net Sales Growth - Constant-currency Basis" tables below.) The constant-currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(1) Constant-currency net sales information is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar between comparable reporting periods. The Company calculates constant-currency net sales by translating net sales in foreign currencies for the current period into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparable period of the prior year.
