ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Abercrombie delivers highest Q2 sales since 2015, offset by pressures at Hollister

New Albany, Ohio, August 25, 2022: Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) today announced results for the second quarter ended July 30, 2022. These compare to results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2021. Descriptions of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures accompany this release.

Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said “As the global macro environment deteriorated in the second quarter, we experienced a divergence in brand performance. Abercrombie delivered its highest Q2 sales since 2015 and its ninth consecutive quarter of average unit retail (“AUR”) growth. This was more than offset by Hollister, where we saw a greater than anticipated impact from inflation and a shift away from core categories to more fashion-driven product, contributing to lower-than-expected conversion and basket size.

We expect macro headwinds to persist and have taken action to adjust receipts across brands to fuel winning categories for late fall and holiday. In addition, we have right-sized the Hollister inventory receipt plan for holiday and beyond. Looking ahead, we will continue to monitor sales volumes and react with agility to ensure inventory turns appropriately, and we expect year-over-year inventory growth to have peaked in Q2 and to moderate significantly in the back half as we lap late receipts from last year.

Thus far in August, we have experienced a steady improvement in weekly sales trend, although total quarter-to-date remains in line with Q2. Our revised outlook reflects the uncertain environment for the back half. As we have successfully done over the last several years, we will continue to navigate near-term challenges and reduce spend where appropriate while executing to our long-term goals. We remain confident that we have the balance sheet and strategies in place to drive continued progress towards our 2025 Always Forward Plan introduced at our June 2022 Investor Day.”

Details related to net (loss) income per diluted share for the second quarter are as follows:

	2022		2021
GAAP	$	(0.33)	$	1.69
Excluded items, net of tax effect (1)	(0.03)		(0.01)
Adjusted non-GAAP	$	(0.30)	$	1.70
Impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates (2)	—		(0.09)
Adjusted non-GAAP constant currency	$	(0.30)	$	1.61

(1)Excluded items consist of pre-tax store asset impairment charges.

(2)The estimated impact from foreign currency is calculated by applying current period exchange rates to prior year results using a 26% tax rate.

A summary of results for the second quarter ended July 30, 2022 as compared to the second quarter ended July 31, 2021:

•Net sales of $805 million, down 7% as compared to last year on a reported basis and down 4% on a constant currency basis.

•Gross profit rate of57.9%, down approximately730 basis points as compared to last year. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by higher product costs, which contributed 750 basis points, and the adverse impact of exchange rates, which accounted for 30 basis points. These impacts where partially offset by higher AUR at Abercrombie.

•Operating expense, excluding other operating income, net, was up 4% compared to last year. The increase was driven primarily by inflation and higher digital fulfillment expenses partially offset by lower incentive-based compensation. Operating expense as a percentage of sales increased to 58.0% from 52.1% last year.

•     Operating loss of $2 million and $0 million on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively, as compared to operating income of $115 million and $116 million last year, on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively.

•Net loss per diluted share of $0.33 and $0.30 on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively, as compared to net income per diluted share last year of $1.69 and $1.70 on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively.

Financial Position and Liquidity

As of July 30, 2022 the company had:

•Cash and equivalents of $370 million. This compares to cash and equivalents of $823 million and $922 million as of January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

•Inventories of $708 million, with 92% of inventory current, defined as current season, long-lived, or future set. The second quarter lapped the lowest Q2 on hand inventory levels since the mid-2000s and the lowest total inventory in over a decade, driven by shipping delays and production shutdowns in Vietnam, where we had outsized exposure relative to industry average. Low on-hand inventories in 2021 led to missed sales opportunity in the back half. This year, we proactively pulled forward deliveries to ensure we have product for back-to-school and holiday. Compared to 2021, an increase of approximately 70% was driven by higher units on hand which contributed 28% to the increase. In-transit inventory was up $140 million, or 130%, contributing 34% to the increase and increased average unit costs contributed 8%.

•Long-term gross borrowings under the company’s senior secured notes of $308 million (the “Senior Secured Notes”) which mature in July 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum.

•Borrowing available under the senior-secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”)of $359 million.

•Liquidity, comprised of cash and equivalents and borrowing available under the ABL Facility, of approximately $0.7 billion. This compares to liquidity of $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion as of January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Details related to the company’s cash flows for the year-to-date period ended July 30, 2022 are as follows:

•Net cash used for operating activities of $260 million.

•Net cash used for investing activities of $52 million.

•Net cash used for financing activities of $135 million.

In the quarter, the company returned approximately $18 million to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 1 million shares. For the year-to-date period ended July 30, 2022, the company repurchased approximately 4.3 million shares and has returned $118 million to shareholders through share repurchases. The company has $240 million remaining on the share repurchase authorization established in November 2021.

Depreciation and amortization was $66 million for the year-to-date period ended July 30, 2022.

Fiscal 2022 Full Year Outlook

The following outlook replaces all previous full year guidance. For fiscal 2022, the company now expects:

•Net sales to be down mid-single-digits from $3.7 billion in 2021 compared to previous outlook of flat to up 2%, driven by an assumed ongoing inflationary impact on consumer demand. The outlook also includes an estimated adverse impact of approximately 200 basis points from foreign currency.

2

•Operating margin in the range of 1 to 3%, down from previous outlook of 5 to 6% primarily reflecting lower sales due to an assumption of lower AURs needed to keep inventory current. Mitigating these factors will be actions to reduce certain expenses, and adjust inventory receipt levels and cadence by region in response to current market forces.

•Capital expenditures of approximately $150 million.

The company is withdrawing the previous effective tax rate outlook of mid 30s as there could be a higher effective tax rate due to our inability to recognize a tax benefit for certain losses incurred outside of the U.S.

Fiscal 2022 Third Quarter Outlook

For the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the company expects:

•Net sales to be down high-single-digits to fiscal third quarter 2021 level of $905 million. The level assumes a continuation of recent trends for the rest of the quarter and includes an estimated adverse impact of approximately 220 basis points from foreign currency.

•Operating income to be around break-even with the year-over-year decline driven by lower sales and an assumption of lower AURs needed to keep inventory current.

Reporting and Use of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

The company believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented are useful to investors as they provide a measure of the company’s operating performance excluding the effect of certain items which the company believes do not reflect its future operating outlook, such as asset impairment charges, therefore supplementing investors’ understanding of comparability of operations across periods. Management used these non-GAAP financial measures during the periods presented to assess the company’s performance and to develop expectations for future operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be used supplemental to, and not as an alternative to, the company’s GAAP financial results, and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies.

In addition, at times the company provides comparable sales, defined as the percentage year-over-year change in the aggregate of: (1) sales for stores that have been open as the same brand at least one year and whose square footage has not been expanded or reduced by more than 20% within the past year, with prior year’s net sales converted at the current year’s foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation, and (2) digital net sales with prior year’s net sales converted at the current year’s foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation.

The company also provides certain financial information on a constant currency basis to enhance investors’ understanding of underlying business trends and operating performance, by removing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year results and is net of the year-over-year impact from hedging. The per diluted share effect from foreign currency is calculated using a 26% tax rate.
