  • Second Quarter Reported Revenues Increased 26% to $1.5 Billion, Above Expectations with Double-Digit Growth Across All Regions
  • Global Digital Ecosystem Revenue Increased Approximately 45% Including Owned Digital Commerce Growth of 35%; Digital Operating Margin Expanded More Than 1,300 Basis Points to Fiscal 2020, Accretive to Total Company Operating Margin
  • Second Quarter Average Unit Retail Increased 14% Driven by Continued Brand Elevation and Strong Full-Priced Selling Trends
  • Operating Margin of 16.7% on a Reported Basis and 17.1% on an Adjusted Basis Represents Highest Second Quarter Adjusted Margin Since Fiscal 2013 with Better Than Expected Gross Margins and Operating Expense Leverage Despite Strategic Investments
  • Share Repurchases Expected to Resume Starting in Second Half of Fiscal 2022, with Approximately $580 Million Remaining Under the Company's Current Authorization

Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL), a global leader in the design, marketing, and distribution of premium lifestyle products, today reported earnings per diluted share of $2.57 on a reported basis and $2.62 on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring-related and other net charges for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. This compared to earnings per diluted share of ($0.53) on a reported basis and $1.44 on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring-related and other net charges for the second quarter of Fiscal 2021.

"We continue to grow and evolve in ways I never imagined, all while holding true to the spirit of timelessness that defines who we are," said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer. "As we enter the holiday season with a greater sense of hope in the world, I am proud of how our teams are coming together to inspire optimism and love in everything we create — from our iconic products to our expanding digital, hospitality and store experiences all over the world."

"We delivered another quarter of strong progress on our Fiscal 2022 plan, with second quarter results exceeding our expectations across all key financial, operating and consumer health metrics," said Patrice Louvet, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Ralph Lauren remains on offense — our market share is growing and we are increasing our investments to deliver on further opportunities for growth. Even as we continue to navigate a volatile global environment, we are confident in our ability to sustain our momentum."

Key Achievements in Second Quarter Fiscal 2022

As we continued to navigate a volatile global retail and supply chain environment, we delivered the following highlights across our strategic priorities in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022:

  • Win Over a New Generation of Consumers
    • Drove strong consumer engagement with continued growth in global brand consideration and purchase intent. Second quarter highlights included: our Summer of Sports sponsorships of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships and Team USA in the Ryder Cup and the Tokyo Olympics, as well as the Met Gala. We also launched our first digital apparel collection available for purchase in collaboration with global social networking platform Zepeto
    • Accelerated marketing investments as planned, with second quarter spend up 83% to last year and 27% compared to second quarter Fiscal 2020 levels. Investments focused on supporting new customer acquisition and digitally-amplified brand campaigns
  • Energize Core Products and Accelerate Under-Developed Categories
    • Continued to drive our brand elevation strategy across regions and channels with direct-to-consumer average unit retail ("AUR") growth of 14% in the second quarter, on top of 26% growth in the prior year. All geographies exceeded our long-term target of low- to mid-single digit annual AUR growth, led by a 23% increase in North America on improved quality of sales and distribution
    • Leveraged our core and iconic styles led by casual bottoms, sweaters and fleece and drove encouraging trends in high-potential underdeveloped categories, particularly denim, accessories and home. Special releases in the quarter included our exclusive Next Generation-focused capsules for Urban Outfitters and ASOS and our new Ralph's Club fragrance
  • Drive Targeted Expansion in Our Regions and Channels
    • Delivered strong growth across every region in the second quarter led by Europe and North America, particularly in wholesale. Asia performed in-line with our expectations, with strength in China and Korea more than offsetting greater than expected impact from COVID-19-related restrictions in Japan
    • Continued momentum in the Chinese mainland, in spite of COVID-19-related lockdowns in the quarter, with second quarter sales increasing more than 25% to last year and more than 70% compared to second quarter Fiscal 2020 in constant currency. Ralph Lauren opened its second digital-forward "Emblematic" retail concept in Shanghai during the quarter, supporting our key city ecosystem strategy in the region
  • Lead With Digital
    • Global digital ecosystem revenues grew approximately 45% in the second quarter despite traffic continuing to normalize in physical stores, with momentum across both owned and wholesale digital channels globally
    • Second quarter operating margin in our owned digital business was consistent to last year, benefiting the total company margin rate, and expanded more than 1,300 basis points to second quarter Fiscal 2020
  • Operate With Discipline to Fuel Growth
    • Second quarter adjusted operating margin expanded 450 basis points to last year to 17.1%, with significantly better operating expense leverage on stronger revenues more than offsetting increased marketing investments, coupled with continued gross margin expansion
    • Adjusted gross margin expansion of 80 basis points exceeded our expectations, with better pricing and promotions including 18 consecutive quarters of AUR growth and elevated product mix more than offsetting planned freight increases in the quarter
    • Completed the transition of Chaps to a licensed business in the second quarter as planned, concluding our brand portfolio realignment announced last year and enabling our teams to focus on our core brands as part of our Next Great Chapter elevation strategy

Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Income Statement Review

Net Revenue. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2022, revenue increased by 26% to $1.5 billion on a reported basis and was up 25% in constant currency. Foreign currency favorably impacted revenue growth by approximately 100 basis points in the second quarter.

Adjusted gross margin was 67.3%, 80 basis points above the prior year on a reported basis and up 50 basis points in constant currency, with better pricing and promotions and product mix more than offsetting increased freight headwinds and unusual COVID mix benefits from the prior year period. Compared to second quarter Fiscal 2020, adjusted gross margins expanded 580 basis points on a reported basis on strong AUR growth.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 were $763 million on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, operating expenses were $755 million, up 17% to last year, primarily driven by higher compensation expense following staff furloughs and store closures due to COVID-19 in the prior year period, along with increased marketing investments as planned. Adjusted operating expense rate was 50.2%, compared to 53.9% in the prior year period.

Operating Income. Operating income for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 was $252 million and operating margin was 16.7% on a reported basis. Adjusted operating income was $257 million and operating margin was 17.1%, 450 basis points above the prior year.

  • Europe Operating Income. Europe operating income in the second quarter was $162 million on both a reported basis and an adjusted basis. Adjusted Europe operating margin was 32.6%, up 480 basis points to last year. Foreign currency favorably impacted adjusted operating margin rate by 20 basis points in the second quarter.
  • Asia Operating Income. Asia operating income in the second quarter was $43 million on both a reported basis and an adjusted basis. Adjusted Asia operating margin was 16.1%, down 130 basis points to last year. Foreign currency favorably impacted adjusted operating margin rate by 80 basis points in the second quarter.

Net Income (Loss) and EPS. Net income in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 was $193 million, or $2.57 per diluted share on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, net income was $197 million, or $2.62 per diluted share. This compared to a net loss of $39 million, or ($0.53) per diluted share on a reported basis, and a net income of $107 million, or $1.44 per diluted share on an adjusted basis, for the second quarter of Fiscal 2021.

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company had an effective tax rate of approximately 19% on both a reported basis and an adjusted basis. This compared to an effective tax rate of approximately (34%) on a reported basis and 25% on an adjusted basis in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

The Company ended the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 with $3.1 billion in cash and investments and $1.6 billion in total debt, compared to $2.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2021.

Inventory at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 was $928 million, up 5% compared to the prior year period.

Full Year Fiscal 2022 and Third Quarter Outlook

The Company continues to note the ongoing uncertainty and evolving situation surrounding COVID-19 impacting the timing and path of recovery in each market, including the potential for further outbreaks or resurgences of the pandemic across various markets as well as potential global supply chain disruptions. The full year Fiscal 2022 and third quarter guidance excludes restructuring-related and other charges, as described in the "Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release.

For Fiscal 2022, the Company now expects constant currency revenues to increase approximately 34% to 36% to last year on a 53-week reported basis. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact revenue growth by approximately 20 basis points. The 53rd week is still expected to represent approximately 140 basis points of this year’s revenue growth.

The Company continues to expect operating margin for Fiscal 2022 of about 12.0% to 12.5%. This compares to operating margin of 4.8% in the prior year period and 10.3% in Fiscal 2020. Gross margin is now expected to increase at the high end of previous guidance of 50 to 70 basis points to last year, with stronger AUR growth and favorable product mix more than offsetting increased freight headwinds. Operating expenses continue to reflect the Company's plans to increase marketing and other strategic investments to support long-term growth, including a higher level of spend in the second half of the fiscal year.

For third quarter Fiscal 2022, revenues are expected to increase approximately 14% to 16% in constant currency to last year. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact revenue growth by approximately 140 basis points.

Operating margin for the third quarter is expected in the range of 13.0% to 13.5%, roughly in-line with last year, with modest gross margin expansion partly offset by a shift in the timing of investments from the second quarter, increased freight expenses, normalizing channel mix shift compared to the prior year's COVID disruptions and about 30 basis points of negative impact from foreign currency.

The full year Fiscal 2022 tax rate is now expected to be approximately 21% to 22%, assuming a continuation of current tax laws. Third quarter Fiscal 2022 tax rate is expected to be approximately 22% to 23%.

The Company expects to resume its share repurchase program starting in the second half of Fiscal 2022, following the filing of our second quarter Fiscal 2022 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with approximately $580 million remaining under its current authorization.

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Because Ralph Lauren Corporation is a global company, the comparability of its operating results reported in U.S. Dollars is affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying currencies in which it transacts change in value over time compared to the U.S. Dollar. Such fluctuations can have a significant effect on the Company's reported results. As such, in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), the Company's discussions often contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated by translating current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency. The Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as a supplement to its reported operating results. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how its businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes this information is useful to investors for facilitating comparisons of operating results and better identifying trends in the Company's businesses. The constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company's operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

This earnings release also includes certain other non-U.S. GAAP financial measures relating to the impact of charges and other items as described herein. The Company uses non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and to better represent the manner in which it conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding items that are not comparable from period to period helps investors and others compare operating performance between two periods. While the Company considers non-U.S. GAAP measures useful in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any presentation included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-U.S. GAAP measures reported by other companies.

Adjustments made during the fiscal periods presented include charges recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring activities, as well as certain other charges (benefits) associated with other non-recurring events, as described in the footnotes to the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above. The income tax benefit (provision) has been adjusted for the tax-related effects of these charges, which were calculated using the respective statutory tax rates for each applicable jurisdiction. Included in this earnings release are reconciliations between the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures before and after these adjustments.

Additionally, the Company's full year Fiscal 2022 and third quarter guidance excludes certain anticipated restructuring-related and other charges. The Company is not able to provide a full reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP because certain material items that impact these measures, such as the timing and exact amount of charges related to its restructuring plans, have not yet occurred or are out of the Company's control. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company's non-U.S. GAAP based financial measure guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort. However, the Company has identified the estimated impact of certain items excluded from its financial outlook. Specifically, the Company's financial outlook excludes estimated pretax charges of approximately $40 million to $90 million related to its Fiscal 2021 Strategic Realignment Plan that have not yet been incurred.
