The Company’s results are reported in this press release on a GAAP and as adjusted, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information is provided at the end of this press release.

Matt Reintjes, President and Chief Executive Officer of YETI Holdings, Inc., commented,  “We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter which resulted in a significant increase in both gross margin and net income. We continue to support and stoke a passionate customer base, design and develop superior product, and optimally balance our omni-channel distribution.  Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing against our growth strategies through expanding our customer base as we drive brand awareness, introducing new and innovative products, accelerating DTC sales and expanding our international presence. YETI is an exceptional brand with enormous opportunity.  I want to thank all of our customers and YETI employees whose passion has built YETI into the brand it is today.”

 

For the Three Months (Thirteen Weeks) Ended September 29, 2018:

 

Net sales increased 7% to $196.1 million compared with $183.0 million during the same period last year.

 

Wholesale channel net sales were approximately flat at $125.0 million compared to the same period last year with lower Coolers & Equipment net sales, offset by an increase in Drinkware net sales.  The decrease in Coolers & Equipment net sales was due primarily to a prior year non-recurring disposition of certain prior generation, excess end of life soft cooler inventories. The increase in Drinkware net sales in the wholesale channel was a result of replenishment orders from retail partners due to strong product sell through, sales of new products, and additional colorways for existing products.

 

Net sales through the Company’s direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel increased 23%, to $71.2 million compared to $58.0 million during the same period last year. DTC sales were driven by an increase in customer purchases on the Company’s website, YETI.com, and YETI Authorized on the Amazon Marketplace, as well as increased consumer and corporate customized Drinkware, primarily from YETIcustomshop.com.

Coolers & Equipment net sales decreased 16%, to $86.7 million compared to $102.9 million during the same period last year. The decrease was within the wholesale channel and primarily due to the aforementioned disposition of certain prior generation, excess end of life soft cooler inventories during the third quarter of 2017.

 

Drinkware net sales increased 37%, to $104.0 million compared to $75.8 million during the same period last year driven by strong growth in both the wholesale and DTC channels. Growth in both channels benefitted from the expansion of the Drinkware product line, new Drinkware accessories, and the introduction of new Drinkware colorways.

 

Gross profit increased 19% to $97.5 million, or 49.7% of net sales, compared to $82.2 million, or 44.9% of net sales, during the same period last year.  The 480 basis point increase in gross profit margin was driven largely by cost improvements across the product portfolio, the lapping of the aforementioned inventory disposition, increased higher margin DTC channel sales and fixed cost leverage, partially offset by price reductions in select hard and soft coolers as the Company planned for new product introductions.

 

SG&A expense increased 21% to $69.4 million, or 35.4% of net sales, compared to $57.5 million, or 31.4% of net sales, during the same period last year.  The increase in SG&A dollars was mainly attributable to higher employee wages and benefits due to increased headcount and incentive compensation, professional fees, and increased facility, utility and outbound freight expenses.

 

Operating income increased 14% to $28.1 million, or 14.3% of net sales, compared to $24.7 million, or 13.5% of net sales, during the same period last year.

 

Adjusted Operating Income increased 29% to $31.7 million, or 280 basis points to 16.2% of net sales, compared to $24.6 million, or 13.4% of net sales, during the same period last year.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

 

Cash at the end of the third quarter totaled $52.1 million.

 

Inventory at the end of the quarter was $157.7 million compared to $227.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2017.

 

Total debt was $387.8 million and net debt, which is total debt less cash of $52.1 million, to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months was 2.6 times as of September 29, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months was $130.0 million and is calculated using the fiscal 2017 Adjusted EBITDA of $97.5 million, as disclosed in our Final Prospectus for our initial public offering, (IPO), less Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $64.3 million, plus Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 of $96.8 million.

 

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $35.2 million and capital expenditures were $6.3 million for the third quarter 2018.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income are defined as operating income and net income, respectively, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment charges, investments in new retail locations and international market expansion, transition to Cortec majority ownership, transition to the ongoing senior management team, and transition to a public company, and, in the case of Adjusted Net Income, also adjusted for early extinguishment of debt and the tax impact of all adjustments. Adjusted Net Income per share is calculated using Adjusted Net Income, as defined above, and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including: non-cash stock-based compensation expense; asset impairment charges; early extinguishment of debt; investments in new retail locations and international market expansion; transition to Cortec majority ownership; transition to the ongoing senior management team; and transition to public company. The expenses incurred related to these transitional events include: management fees and contingent consideration related to the transition to Cortec majority ownership; severance, recruiting, and relocation costs related to the transition to our ongoing senior management team; consulting fees, recruiting fees, salaries and travel costs related to members of our Board of Directors, fees associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, and incremental audit and legal fees in connection with our transition to a public company. All of these transitional costs are reported in selling, general, and administrative, or SG&A, expenses.

 

Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other entities. We use these non-GAAP measures, along with GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability. These measures help us compare our performance to other companies by removing the impact of our capital structure; the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions; the impact of our asset base, which can vary depending on the book value of assets and methods used to compute depreciation and amortization; the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, which can vary based on plan design, share price, share price volatility, and the expected lives of equity instruments granted; as well as certain expenses related to what we believe are events of a transitional nature. We also disclose Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales to provide a measure of relative profitability.

 

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP measures provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance to other companies and in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as profitability measures in that they do not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, and the effect of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets. In addition, all of these non-GAAP measures have limitations as profitability measures in that they do not include the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the effect of asset impairments, the effect of investments in new retail locations and international market expansion, and the impact of certain expenses related to transitional events that are settled in cash. Because of these limitations, the Company relies primarily on its GAAP results.

 

In the future, we may incur expenses similar to those for which adjustments are made in calculating Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of these non-GAAP

measures should not be construed as a basis to infer that our future results will be unaffected by extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items.
