KMD Brands 1H FY24 Interim Results



KMD Brands Limited (ASX/NZX: KMD, “KMD” or the “Group”) announces its results for the

six months ended 31 January 2024 (“1H FY24”).



1H FY24 financial summary (vs 1H FY23):


• Group sales decreased by -14.5% to $468.6 million.

• Gross margin improved by 1 0 basis points to 58.8%.

• Operating expenses $ 15.8 million below last year, down -5.7% YOY.

• Underlying EBITDA

1

$ 15.1 million, down 66.8% YOY due to lower sales.

• Statutory NPAT loss -$9.7 million; Underlying NPAT

1

loss -$6.9 million.

• Strong balance sheet position. Net working capital -7.4% lower YOY to $226.2 million.

• No interim dividend declared as a result of 1H FY24 operating performance.



Commenting on the 1H FY24 results, Group CEO & Managing Director Michael Daly

said:


“Through the first half we continued to experience the effects of weakness in consumer

sentiment. S ales were 14.5% below last year’s record result; and decreased for all three of

our brands.”



“Weaker consumer sentiment, the warmest winter on record in Australia and an over-reliance

on winter weight product led to a disappointing first half for Kathmandu.”


“Rip Curl and Oboz are cycling record sales last financial year, and while revenues from the

direct-to-consumer channel are showing single digit declines, the wholesale channel has

been more challenging for both brands as wholesale customers reduce inventory holdings.”


“In a challenging sales environment, the Group improved gross margin despite currency

headwinds, controlled operating costs, and reduced working capital.”

improved pricing, exiting low margin business, and new product introductions.


Operating costs were $15.8 million below last year, despite continued inflation pressure.

Operating expenses benefited from restructuring implemented last year and lower variable

costs associated with lower sales.

Rip Curl total sales decreased -9.2% to $278.3 million, cycling record sales last year.


Direct-to-consumer sales including online (“DTC sales”) decreased by - 5.0%, reflecting

weakened consumer sentiment in key global markets, while noting stronger results in

Europe, Asia and South America. Online sales increased by +4.3% and remain significantly

above pre-COVID levels.


Wholesale sales decreased by -14.1%, as wholesale accounts reduced their inventory

holdings in response to the challenging consumer environment.


In a challenging sales environment, gross margin and operating expenses were well

controlled. Gross margin increased +90 bps (+0.9% of sales) reflecting improved pricing and

freight rates, plus exiting low margin business in North America and Europe. Operating

expenses were tightly managed despite continued inflation pressure.

Improvement to online sales performance is a priority.


Gross margin decreased -240 bps (-2.4% of sales), driven by clearance of end of line

remained below historic levels, Oboz expects the operating expense investment to be

leveraged with future sales growth opportunities.

Balance sheet


At 31 January 2024, the Group had a net debt position of $96.2 million with funding

headroom of approximately $ 190 million.


Inventory was well positioned, $5 million below January 2023, and net working capital was

$18 million below January 2023 despite lower sales. The inventory balance at July 2024 is

expected to be below July 2023. The unwind of inventory is expected to underpin traditionally

strong operating cashflow generation in the second half year.


As previously communicated in the FY23 results release, the balance between interim and

final dividend will be adjusted to better reflect the profitability of each half year. As a result of

this change, and due to the first half performance, the Directors have not declared an interim

dividend.



Outlook


First half sales trends have improved for all three brands as they begin the second half year.

Group sales for February 2024 were -3.5% below last year, noting that February is not a

significant trading month.


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


“In the second half t he Group will be cycling less challenging sales performance last year,

particularly Kathmandu in the fourth quarter.”


“I mproving Kathmandu sales performance is our immediate priority as we approach the key

winter trading period. We expect to see progress in the second half and into FY25 as we

launch new innovative products, quick to market programmes, elevated visual

merchandising, increased personalisation through the recently released “Out There

Rewards” and an expanded third-party brand strategy.”


“We expect the wholesale customer inventory reduction cycle to end this financial year,

giving us a more positive FY25 outlook in the wholesale channel for both Rip Curl and Oboz.”


“We believe that with our portfolio of iconic global outdoor brands and leadership in

sustainability, we remain a unique investment proposition and well-placed for the future.”

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 2024.

Review of Operations

Group sales for the interim period of $468.6 million are 14.5% below last year as consumer sentiment continued to weaken.

Kathmandu sales are down 21.5% year on year due to weaker consumer sentiment and a reliance on winter weight product. Rip

Curl sales are down 9.2% with the largest decrease from the wholesale channel as wholesale accounts reduce inventory holdings.

Oboz sales have declined 20.0% driven by similar challenges to Rip Curl in the wholesale market, however, the online direct-to

consumer channel has continued to grow.

Gross margin remains resilient, increasing +10 bps (0.1% of sales), despite currency headwinds which have been offset by reduced

freight rates, improved channel mix and pricing, exiting low margin business, and new product introductions.

Operating costs are $15.8 million below last year, despite continued inflation pressure. Operating expenses benefited from

restructuring implemented last year and lower variable costs associated with lower sales.

As at 31 January 2024, the Group had a net debt position of $96.2 million with significant funding headroom of approximately $200

million.

Inventory remains well positioned, $5.2 million below January 2023, and net working capital is $18.2 million below January 2023.

The unwind of net working capital has increased 1H operating cashflow to $42.2 million, an increase of $12.3 million from last year

despite lower sales.

No interim dividend has been declared.

A further review of the operations of the Group is set out in the accompanying media release of 19 March 2024.

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.

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 2023 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.

3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 2023.

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

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 CLIMATE CHANGE RISK

The Group’s operations may be impacted by future climate change. These impacts may be physical (e.g. severe or unusual

weather patterns and events) or transitional (e.g. changes to government regulations or customer and supplier needs and

demands).

The Group regularly assesses its operating environment with regards to the impact of climate change. Specific consideration

has been given in these financial statements to the impact of future climate change on the useful lives of the Group’s property,

plant, and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, the inclusion of expected renewals in the lease term for right-of-use

assets and sustainability linked loans. No significant impacts have been identified.

During the previous year, the Group collaborated with other retail industry participants, with guidance from the New Zealand

External Reporting Board (XRB), to develop relevant sector-level climate-related scenarios with reference to the Aotearoa New

Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS). The Group is now modelling how different scenarios of climate change may impact our

global footprint and strategy. We will provide reporting in our 2024 Annual Integrated Report.

10 INTANGIBLE ASSETS


Carrying value of intangible assets

The Group market capitalisation is below the carrying value of net assets and the Group has made a net loss after income tax

of $9,667,000 for the period. Historically the second half of the financial year is more profitable and generates more cash flow

and therefore we do not consider the short term results an indicator of impairment. In addition, our internal valuation models

continue to provide sufficient headroom at both Group and Brand cash generating unit levels. No impairment indicators exist as

at 31 January 2024.


As at 31 July 2023 the CGU with the lowest headroom was the Oboz CGU with NZ$30 million of headroom. Sensitivity analysis

showed that if the Oboz EBITDA margin does not recover to its historical levels the CGU could be impaired if all other

assumptions remained unchanged. As at 31 January 2024 no new indicators exist that change this conclusion.

Group Facility Agreement

The Group has a multi-option syndicated facility, which consists of an A$240 million multi-currency revolving facility and a

NZ$54 million multi-currency revolving facility. Both facilities are sustainability linked with targets such as reducing greenhouse

gas emissions, continued B Corp certification, and improving transparency within the Group supply chain, including the

wellbeing and labour conditions of workers, and environmental metrics. All facilities are repayable in full on 12 November 2026.

Interest is payable based on the BKBM rate (NZD borrowings), the BBSY rate (AUD borrowings), SOFR rate (US borrowings)

or the applicable short-term rate for interest periods less than 30 days, plus a margin of between 1.05% - 1.31%. The debt is

secured by the assets of the guaranteeing group in accordance with the Security Trust Deed dated 25 October 2019 as

amended 12 May 2023. The guaranteeing group comprises entities operating in New Zealand, Australia, North America and

the United Kingdom. The carrying value of the assets held by the guaranteeing group are $1,416,837,000 (2023:

$1,489,325,000).


KMD BRANDS LIMITED - INTERIM REPORT 2024

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 12 May 2023. The Group obtained a reduction of the fixed cover covenant for the

January 2024 and July 2024 measurement points. The Group has complied with its revised banking covenants at all

measurement points during the period.

The current interest rate, prior to hedging, on the term loans range between 5.40% - 5.41% (2023: 4.03% - 5.80%).


13 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 12 for details of the

funding arrangements in place as at 31 January 2024.

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 2023. 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.

flows.

Independent Review Report

To the shareholders of KMD Brands Limited

Report on the interim consolidated financial statements

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the interim

consolidated financial statements on pages 3 to 14

do not:

i.present fairly in all material respects the

Group’s financial position as at 31 January

2024 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

interim consolidated financial statements which

comprise:

— the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 January

2024;

— 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

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)”). Our responsibilities are further described in

the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of KMD Brands Limited, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand

relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in

accordance with these ethical requirements.

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 R eport 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.

KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the interim

consolidated financial statements

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

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

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting;

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

interim consolidated financial statements

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

our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) . NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether

anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared,

in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of

Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)”) 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.

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) and consequently does not enable us to obtain

assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these interim

consolidated financial statements.

PROFIT & LOSS

SALES IMPACTED BY A CHALLENGING CONSUMER ENVIRONMENT

•Sales -14.5% below last year reflecting ongoing weakness in consumer

sentiment.

•Kathmandu has recorded softer sales since June 2023. A combination of

weaker consumer sentiment, the warmest winter on record in Australia and

the brand’s reliance on winter weight product has resulted in a disappointing

first half.

•Rip Curl and Oboz are cycling record sales last financial year. While

revenues from the direct-to-consumer channel for these brands are showing

single digit declines (-4.4%) the wholesale channel has been more

challenging (-16.8%) as wholesale customers reduce inventory holdings.

GROSS MARGIN REMAINS RESILIENT

•Group gross margin +10 bps (+0.1% of sales), despite the realised US dollar

hedged rate*

3

in 1H FY24 being down approximately 7% from the prior

comparative period. Currency headwinds offset by lower freight rates,

improved channel mix, improved pricing, exiting low margin business, and

new product introductions.

OPERATING EXPENSES TIGHTLY CONTROLLED

•Operating costs are $15.8 million below last year, despite continued inflation

pressure. Operating expenses benefited from restructuring implemented last

year and lower variable costs associated with lower sales.

1.Statutory results include the impact of IFRS 16 leases. For comparability, the impacts of IFRS 16 and the notional amortisation of

Rip Curl and Oboz customer relationships are excluded from Underlying results. Refer to Appendix 1 for a reconciliation of

Statutory to Underlying results.

2.1H FY24 NZD/AUD conversion rate 0.926 (1H FY23: 0.910), 1H FY24 NZD/USD conversion rate 0.604 (1H FY23 0.612).

3.The following exchange rates are hedged by the Group to purchase inventory: NZD/USD, AUD/USD and EUR/USD.

SALES IMPACTED BY WHOLESALE CUSTOMER CAUTION

•Total sales -9.2%, cycling record sales last year (1H FY23 sales growth

+18.8% YOY).

•Direct-to-consumer sales (incl. online) -5.0%, reflecting weakened consumer

sentiment in key global markets. Stronger results in Europe, Asia and South

America.

•Online sales +4.3%. Sales remain significantly above pre-COVID levels.

•Wholesale sales -14.1%, as wholesale accounts reduce their inventory

holdings in response to the challenging consumer environment.

•We expect the wholesale customer inventory reduction cycle to end this

financial year, giving us a more positive FY25 outlook in the wholesale

channel.

GROSS MARGIN AND OPERATING EXPENSES WELL CONTROLLED

SALES REFLECT ONGOING WEAKNESS IN CONSUMER SENTIMENT

•Sales have softened since June 2023. A combination of weaker consumer

sentiment, the warmest winter on record in Australia and reliance on winter

weight product has resulted in a disappointing first half.

•Total sales -21.5%, cycling strong sales growth last year (1H FY23 sales growth

+51.2% YOY). Australia -22.9%

*2

, New Zealand -15.9%.

•Online sales decreased by -36.9% to $16.4m, as consumers returned to

shopping in stores. Online penetration at 10.9% of DTC sales remains above pre-

COVID levels. Improvement in online sales performance is a priority.

•International sales $1.7m. Kathmandu’s International sales target of $100m

remains a longer-term goal. Our immediate focus is on stabilising and building the

local ANZ business as a priority.

GROSS MARGIN

•Gross margin decreased -240 bps (-2.4% of sales), driven by specific clearance

of end of line products in August. Excluding August, gross margin for the period

was -50 bps (-0.5% of sales) lower YOY despite currency headwinds.

OPERATING EXPENSES WELL CONTROLLED

•Operating expenses tightly managed despite continued inflation pressure.

Operating expenses almost $10m lower YOY, benefiting from restructuring

implemented last year and lower variable costs associated with lower sales.

KATHMANDU HISTORY

Kathmandu has faced challenging and inconsistent trading results over the last five years.

•FY19 Sales and EBITDA results were the best-ever for the Kathmandu brand.

•The following three years were all negatively impacted by COVID lockdowns:

•FY20 nearly 7,000 lost trading days in the second half.

•FY21 over 5,000 lost trading days.

•FY22 over 7,000 lost trading days in the first half.

•FY20 and beyond have all been negatively impacted by reduced inbound and outbound

tourism.

•A clear change in the ANZ outdoor competitive landscape in recent years.

•Financial results since June 2023 have been impacted by Australia’s warmest winter on record

and softened consumer sentiment.

•The rolling 12 months to May 2023 represent the most recent twelve months of uninterrupted

trade post-pandemic, and immediately prior to the warmest winter on record in Australia.

Kathmandu delivered $463m sales at almost 16% EBITDA margin.

OUR CHALLENGES

22

1 H F Y 2 4 R E S U L T S P R E S E N T A T I O N

These challenges are an ongoing focus of the Kathmandu team

to improve execution and profitability.

•Reliance on winter weight product has increased, specifically outerwear.

•Breadth and depth of core categories insufficient (beyond outerwear). Outerwear inventory

investment overweighted vs. other key categories.

•Product innovation has not delivered commercial outcomes.

•Product development timeline had less flexibility for emerging market trends, product

developed on an industrystandard18-month timeline.

•Too much reliance on vertical brand products vs. leveraging third parties (including Oboz).

•Execution of the re-brand since 2021 has been inconsistent.

•Lack of connection with target consumers.

•Prior to ‘Out There Rewards’ launch, loyalty proposition had not fundamentally changed for

many years, and was becoming less effective.

REFINE BRAND EXECUTION
•Innovation and investment in broader categories to

address year-round needs.

•Faster and more regular product drops.

OUTLOOK

•In the second half the Group will be cycling less challenging sales performance last year,

particularly Kathmandu in the fourth quarter.

•Kathmandu sales performance remains an immediate priority as we approach the key

winter trading period. We expect to see progress in the second half and into FY25 as we

launch new innovative products, quick to market programmes, elevated visual

merchandising, increased personalisation through the recently released “Out There

Rewards” and an expanded third-party brand strategy.

•We expect the Rip Curl and Oboz wholesale customer inventory reduction cycle to end

this financial year, giving us a more positive FY25 outlook in the wholesale channel.

•Ongoing reduction of working capital expected to drive strong cash flow generation.

•We believe with our portfolio of iconic global outdoor brands and leadership in

sustainability, we remain a unique investment proposition and well-placed for the future.

•February is not a significant trading month.

•In the month of February, all brands have improved YTD

sales trends.

•February sales trends have continued into the start of

March.
