KMD Brands Limited

ASX / NZX / Media announcement


22 March 2023


KMD Brands returns to growth in 1H FY23

(All amounts in NZ$ unless otherwise stated)


KMD Brands Limited (ASX/NZX: KMD, “KMD” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its results for the

six months ended 31 January 2023 (“1H FY23”).


1H FY23 key highlights (vs 1H FY22):


• Sales growth up 34.5% to $547.9 million, a record first half for KMD Brands

• Continued sales growth for Rip Curl, strong Australian recovery for Kathmandu, and record first half

sales for Oboz

• Gross margin remains resilient, increasing +100 bps (1.0% of sales)

• Underlying EBITDA

1

of $45.3 million (1H FY22: $10.2 million) with group underlying EBITDA margin

1

improving on a rolling 12-month basis

• Statutory NPAT of $14.0 million; Underlying NPAT

1

of $16.5 million (1H FY22: loss of $5.1 million)

• Balance sheet remains strong, with expectation of inventory unwind to underpin strong cashflow

generation in the second half

• Interim dividend of 3 cents per share declared (fully franked for Australian shareholders)


Commenting on the 1H FY23 results, Group CEO & Managing Director Michael Daly said:


“We are delighted with the results our team has delivered in 1H FY23, building on the strong momentum of

the previous six months. We achieved record sales results for the Group, highlighting the strength of our

global brands.”


"For the first time since Rip Curl was acquired, the Group has experienced a full 12 months of trade without

significant interruption from the COVID pandemic, which resulted in group sales of over $1 billion.”


"Despite uncertainties in consumer outlook, all three of our brands – Rip Curl, Kathmandu, and Oboz –

delivered strong sales growth in the half, and as a group we have improved our gross margin.”


“We were also very proud to recently announce that KMD Brands and all three of its brands are now

Certified B Corporations, becoming one of the first multinational companies in Australia and New Zealand to

have all its brands individually certified. This is testament to our commitment to setting ourselves high

standards of social and environmental impact, accountability, and transparency.”


“With a healthy balance sheet, and expectations for strong cash flow generation in the second half, we are in

an excellent position to execute on our growth strategy through expanding our global footprint, investing in

digital platforms, leveraging operational excellence, and leading the industry through sustainability and

innovation.”

NPAT 14.0 16.5 (5.1)


The 1H FY23 Group results were boosted by record first half sales, cycling Australasian COVID lockdowns

last year, and supported by the return of international travel and tourism. Although the Group continued to

experience elevated international freight costs and raw material cost pressures, gross margin increased by

100 bps to 58.7%.


Operating expenses reflect continued investment to support brand expansion, while leveraging sales growth.

1H FY23 operating expenses are 50.4% of sales, with a strong sales recovery post-COVID lockdowns last

year. FY23 full year operating expenses are expected to be c. 48% of sales, with ongoing initiatives to further

reduce annualised operating costs by up to 2% of sales for FY24.

Rip Curl’s sales results were strengthened by growth across all channels, with total sales up 18.8% to

$306.4 million. Direct-to-consumer sales growth was particularly strong in Australasia after COVID

lockdowns last year, with Hawaii also performing strongly off the back of a return of international travel.


Wholesale sales are showing resilience with 2.2% growth at constant exchange rates, despite softening

wetsuit demand from record highs, and strategic destocking from retailers. Whilst online traffic reduced year

on year, online sales remain significantly above pre-COVID levels. The direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel,

including owned retail stores and online, generated same store sales growth of 13.9%.


EBITDA was up 11.4% to $37.6 million, moderated by the impact of channel mix and freight costs on gross

margin, and increased distribution costs.

Kathmandu’s performance in the first half of FY23 was attributed to a strong recovery in the Australian

market following COVID lockdowns last year. Total sales were up 51.2% to $194.0 million, driven by a strong

rebound in Australia (+59%) after lockdowns, the return of domestic and international tourism in New

Zealand (+22%), and international sales of $1.4 million, which includes first deliveries to select new

wholesale customers in Europe and Canada.


Online sales normalised at c. $26 million following lockdowns last year, which represents 13.6% of

DTC sales, and continues to be significantly above pre-COVID levels.


Gross margin increased +580 bps, driven by currency benefit, and the deliberate strategy to carefully

moderate the historic “high-low” pricing model.

Sales 47.5 21.2 124.3%

EBITDA 2.9 (0.0) -

EBIT 2.5 (0.4) -


Oboz wholesale and online sales performed strongly in the first half, demonstrating a successful recovery

following last year’s significant supply challenges, as well as strong growth in the new online sales channel

which increased the mix of DTC sales.


Gross margin decreased 50 bps due to elevated international freight costs over the last twelve months,

noting that freight costs are now trending towards historical levels. Operating expenses reflect investment in

brand and product teams, which is expected to be leveraged as sales growth continues.


Maintaining a strong balance sheet


As at 31 January 2023, the Group had a net debt position of $84.9 million with significant funding headroom

over $200 million.


The higher inventory balance reflects investments in Oboz inventory to meet 2H forward orders, as well as

investments in wetsuit raw material for perennial styles to mitigate international supply challenges. The

Company expects inventory to be $270 to $280 million by the end of FY23, depending on currency

translation and timing of goods in transit. Inventory obsolescence provisions represent 1.4% of gross

inventory on hand, 50 bps below July 2022.


Operating cash flows were affected by the temporary inventory build. It is expected that an unwind of

inventory will underpin the traditionally strong operating cashflow generation in the second half.


The Company’s strong balance sheet and positive growth outlook led Directors to declare an interim

dividend of 3.0 cents per share (fully franked for Australian shareholders). The record date for this dividend is

15 June 2023, and the payment date is 30 June 2023.


Dedicated to leading in ESG


Commenting on the Group’s sustainability initiatives, Mr Daly said: “We are pleased to have made significant

progress on ESG initiatives during the half as we continue to work towards becoming a leader in ESG across

all of our businesses.”


“In addition to the recent B Corp announcement for all of our brands, the Group was also recognised with the

Deloitte New Zealand Top 200 Sustainable Business Leadership award. We have also submitted science-

based targets to SBTi, with 2030 emission reduction goals aligned to the Paris Climate agreement.”










KMD BRANDS LIMITED W kmdbrands.com



Positive 2H FY23 outlook


Positive first half sales momentum has continued through February, with continued strong diversified sales

growth across brands, channels, and key international regions. Total group sales were up 31.9% in February

2023 compared to February 2022, noting that February is not a significant trading month.


Commenting on the outlook for the Group, Mr Daly said:

“Positive direct-to-consumer sales trends have continued into the second half, and we are well positioned to

continue to benefit from the return of international travel and tourism. Products across all three of our brands

appeal to a diverse range of consumer interests, ages, and demographics.”


“While the consumer outlook remains uncertain, with high global inflation and rising interest rates expected

to impact consumer demand, we remain cautiously optimistic. The Group is well capitalised and will continue

to invest in the long-term global expansion of all our brands.”

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Directors of KMD Brands Limited present the Interim Report for the Company and its controlled entities for the half year ended

31 January 2023.

Review of Operations

Group sales of $547.9 million for the interim period are a record first half result with the Group cycling over 11,000 lost trading days

from Australasian COVID lockdowns last year. The record sales result was further supported by an encouraging return of

international travel and tourism.

Although the Group continued to experience elevated international freight costs and raw material cost pressures these pressures

were offset by favorable exchange rates and careful moderation of the Kathmandu “high-low” pricing model. Gross margin was

58.7% for the period an increase of 100 basis points.

Increased operating expenses reflect continued investment to support brand expansion and leveraging the full reopening of our

store network for the period. Operating expenses for the period are 50.4% of sales, demonstrating operating leverage year-on-year.

As at 31 January 2023, the Group had a net debt position of $84.9 million with significant funding headroom over $200 million.

The higher inventory balance reflects investments in Oboz inventory to meet second half forward orders, as well as investments in

wetsuit raw material for perennial styles to mitigate international supply challenges. Inventory obsolescence provisions represent

1.4% of gross inventory on hand, 50 basis points below July 2022.

Operating cash flows were affected by the temporary inventory build. It is expected that an unwind of inventory will underpin the

traditionally strong operating cashflow generation in the second half.

The Group’s strong balance sheet and positive growth outlook resulted in a declared interim dividend of 3.0 cents per share (fully

franked for Australian shareholders).

A further review of the operations of the Group is set out in the accompanying Company’s media release of 22 March 2023

Seasonality

Due to the seasonal nature of the Group’s activities, the activities in the second half of the year historically provide a larger portion of

the sales and net profit for the full year.

Impact of COVID-19

The Group has continued to review the impact on the business from the COVID-19 situation. During the comparative period, trade at

a number of the Group’s stores was disrupted by COVID-19 related travel restrictions and government mandated lockdowns and

closures. Although these restrictions were relaxed during the half year the group continued to be disrupted by staff shortages. Refer

to note 4 of the Financial Statements for further disclosure about the impact of COVID-19.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

KMD Brands Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a designer, marketer, retailer and wholesaler

of apparel, footwear and equipment for surfing and the outdoors. It operates in New Zealand, Australia, North America, Europe,

South East Asia and Brazil.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. KMD Brands Limited is a company

registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013. The address of its registered office is 223 Tuam Street, Central Christchurch, Christchurch.

These consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 22 March 2023,

and have been reviewed, not audited.


2 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These general-purpose financial statements for the six months ended 31 January 2023 have been prepared in accordance with

NZ IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In complying with NZ IAS 34, these consolidated interim financial statements also

comply with IAS 34.

These consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial

report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of KMD Brands Limited for

the year ended 31 July 2022 which have been prepared in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Group is designated as a profit-oriented entity for financial reporting purposes.

The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Group’s presentation

currency.

There have been no changes to the Group’s climate change risk since 31 July 2022.


3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Other than the changes noted below, the consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the same

accounting policies and methods of computation as those used in the audited financial statements of KMD Brands Limited for

the year ended 31 July 2022.


Consideration of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (‘IFRIC’) agenda decision

During the year ended 31 July 2022 the Group revised its accounting policy in relation to configuration and customization costs

incurred in implementing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud computing arrangements. The Group’s previous accounting

policy was to record these configuration and customisation costs as part of the cost of an intangible asset and amortise these

costs over the useful life of the software assets. The 31 January 2022 comparatives presented in these financial statements

have been restated to reflect these changes.


A summary of the impact of the change in accounting policy on the Group’s consolidated interim financial statements is

provided below.

Other comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period ended 31

January 2022 has been restated to remove the component of cash flow hedge reserve which was transferred to the initial

carrying value of the hedged items as separately disclosed in the statement of changes in equity ($1,899,000). The

restatement is limited to the statement of other comprehensive income and has no impact on profit, cash flow or the balance

sheet of the Group.

Use of non-GAAP disclosures

At times non-GAAP disclosures have been used in the consolidated financial statements. These disclosures have been

included as they are key measurement criteria on which the Group and operating segments are reviewed by the Group Chief

Executive Officer, Group Executive Management team and the Board of Directors. The following non-GAAP measures are

relevant to the understanding of the Group's financial performance:

• Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) represents earnings before income taxes

excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation, and amortisation, as reported in the financial statements.

• Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) represents EBITDA less depreciation and amortisation.

• Net debt represents cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing liabilities. Net debt does not include lease

liabilities.


Non-GAAP financial information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be


KMD BRANDS LIMITED - INTERIM REPORT 2023

comparable to similar financial information presented by other entities. The non-GAAP information within the consolidated

financial statements is subject to review procedures.

New standards first applied in the period

There are no new standards first applied in the period.

Standards, interpretations, and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

There are no standards or amendments published but not yet effective that are expected to have a significant impact on the

Group.

4 IMPACT OF COVID-19

The comparative half year period was impacted by COVID-19, with local and global restrictions on movement, travel and

gatherings resulting in a sustained reduction in footfall. During the comparative period stores across Australia and New Zealand

were significantly impacted by government mandated lockdowns and closures.

As outlined in the 2022 Annual Integrated Report, there continues to be uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic that may

affect the Group’s ability to achieve future forecasts. Despite this the Directors are satisfied that there will be adequate cash

flows generated from operating and financing activities to meet the obligations of the Group for a period of at least 12 months

from the date of approving the consolidated financial statements.

The Group was fully compliant with all banking covenants during the year and, based on the current cash flow forecasts, the

Group expects to remain compliant with all covenants for at least 12 months from the date of approving the consolidated

financial statements.

Taking into consideration the current trading results, the net debt (excluding lease liabilities) of $84,876,000 (2022:

$48,560,000) and liquidity of $216,300,000 (2022: $247,193,000) at 31 January 2023 (refer note 10), the financial statements

continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

7 SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

The Group has three operating segments representing the brands owned by the Group and a Corporate segment. These

operating segments have been determined based on the reports reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer and Group

Executive Management team. The comparative information have been restated to include the Software-as-a-Service

restatement described in note 3.

- Rip Curl - designer, manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of surfing equipment and apparel.

- Kathmandu - designer, retailer and wholesaler apparel, footwear and equipment for outdoor travel and adventure.

- Oboz - designer, wholesaler and online retailer of outdoor footwear.

The Corporate segment represents group costs, holding companies and consolidation eliminations and constitutes other

business activities that do not fall within the brand segments.

The default basis of allocating shared costs is percentage of revenue with other bases being used where appropriate.

Group Facility Agreement

The Group has a multi-option syndicated facility agreement, with a sustainability linked loan of A$100 million, a revolving cash

advance facility of A$115 million and NZ$24 million, trade finance sub-facilities of A$30 million and NZ$10 million, and

instruments sub-facilities of A$20 million and NZ$4 million. All facilities are repayable in full on 26 May 2024.

Interest is payable based on the BKBM rate (NZD borrowings), the BBSY rate (AUD borrowings), or the applicable short-term

rate for interest periods less than 30 days, plus a margin of up to 1.25%. The debt is secured by the assets of the guaranteeing

group in accordance with the Security Trust Deed dated 25 October 2019 as amended 26 May 2021. The guaranteeing group

comprises entities operating in New Zealand, Australia, North America and the United Kingdom. The carrying value of the

assets pledged as security is $1,489,325,000 (2022: $1,324,675,000).


KMD BRANDS LIMITED - INTERIM REPORT 2023


14


The covenants entered into by the Group require specified calculations of Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and

amortisation (EBITDA) plus lease rental costs to exceed total fixed charges (net interest expense and lease rental costs) at the

end of each half during the financial year. Similarly, EBITDA must be no less than a specified proportion of total net debt at the

end of each six-month interim period. The calculations of these covenants are specified in the bank facility agreement of 25

October 2019 as amended and restated on 26 May 2021. The Group has complied with its banking covenants at all

measurement points during the year.

The current interest rate, prior to hedging, on the term loans range between 4.03% - 5.80% (2022: 1.00%).


11 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


(a) Financial risk factors


The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit

risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and

seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial

instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to manage certain risk exposures. Derivatives are

exclusively used for economic hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments, however not all derivative

financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting.

Risk management is carried out based on policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Group treasury policy provides

written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages this

risk by actively managing working capital and ensuring flexibility in funding arrangements. Refer to note 10 for details of the

funding arrangements in place as at 31 January 2023. Also refer to note 4 for the liquidity risk in relation to the impact of

COVID-19.

The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required

in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at 31

July 2022. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk.


(b) Fair value estimation


The only financial instruments held by the Group that are measured at fair value are over-the-counter derivatives. These

derivatives have all been determined to be within level 2 (for the purposes of NZ IFRS 13) of the fair value hierarchy as all

significant inputs required to ascertain the fair value of these derivatives are observable.

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for each class of financial instrument.


Trade debtors, trade creditors and bank balances

The carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.

Term liabilities

The fair value of the Group's term liabilities is approximately carrying value.

Foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps

The forward foreign exchange contracts have been fair valued using forward exchange rates that are quoted in an active

market. Interest rate swaps are fair valued using forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves. The effects of

discounting are insignificant for these derivatives.

Guarantees and overdraft facilities

The fair value of these instruments is estimated on the basis that management do not expect settlement at face value to arise.

The carrying value and fair value of these instruments is approximately nil. All guarantees are repayable on demand.

The Group is subject to litigation incidental to its business, none of which is expected to be material. No provision has been

made in the Group’s consolidated interim financial statements in relation to any current litigation and the Directors believe that

such litigation will not have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated interim financial position, results of operations or cash

flows.

There are no contingent assets as at 31 January 2023 (2022: nil).

Independent Review Report

To the shareholders of KMD Brands Limited

Report on the consolidated interim financial statements

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the

consolidated interim financial statements on pages 3

to 15 do not:

i. present fairly in all material respects the

Group’s financial position as at 31 January

2023 and its financial performance and

cash flows for the 6 month period ended on

that date; and

ii. comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting.

We have completed a review of the accompanying

consolidated interim financial statements which

comprise:

— the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 January

2023;

— the consolidated statements of comprehensive

income, changes in equity and cash flows for the

6 month period then ended; and

— notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory

information.


Basis for conclusion


A review of consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial

Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“NZ SRE 2410”) is a limited assurance

engagement. The auditor performs procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible

for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

As the auditor of KMD Brands Limited, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant

to the audit of the annual financial statements.

Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax compliance services. Subject to certain

restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the group on normal terms within the ordinary

course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters have not impaired our independence as

reviewer of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the group.


Use of this Independent Review Report

This report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might

state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the Independent Review Report and for

no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other

than the shareholders as a body for our review work, this report, or any of the opinions we have formed.









Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated

interim financial statements

The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for:

— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting;

— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated interim financial

statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to

cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.


Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the

consolidated interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410. NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether

anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial statements are

not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in

accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly, we do not express an audit

opinion on these consolidated interim financial statements.

This description forms part of our Independent Review Report.
