Fourth Quarter Results Compared to Q4 2022

Net revenue increased by 43.5% to $637.6 million, compared to $444.3 million in Q4 2022. The Company continued to see strong momentum in the United States, where net revenue increased by 55.7% to $337.5 million, compared to $216.8 million in Q4 2022. Net revenue in Canada increased by 31.9% to $300.1 million, compared to $227.5 million in Q4 2022.

• Retail net revenue increased by 38.4% to $363.1 million, compared to $262.4 million in Q4 2022. The increase was led by strong performance of our existing and new boutiques in both the United States and Canada. Boutique count³ at the end of Q4 2023 totaled 114 compared to 106 boutiques at the end of Q4 2022.
• eCommerce net revenue increased by 50.8% to $274.5 million, compared to $182.0 million in Q4 2022, driven by exceptional performance in both Canada and the United States.

Gross profit increased by 34.9% to $242.2 million, compared to $179.5 million in Q4 2022. Gross profit margin was 38.0%, compared to 40.4% in Q4 2022. The 240 bps decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by additional warehousing costs related to inventory management, ongoing inflationary pressures, normalized markdowns and foreign exchange headwinds. These impacts were partially offset by lower expedited freight costs and leverage on occupancy and depreciation costs. 

SG&A expenses increased by 42.5% to $171.3 million, compared to $120.2 million in Q4 2022. SG&A expenses were 26.9% of net revenue, compared to 27.1% in Q4 2022. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to additional investments in retail talent to help ensure the Company continues to deliver exceptional client services, as well as ongoing investments in talent, marketing initiatives and technology to help support its growth.

Net income was $37.3 million, an increase of 9.1% compared to $34.2 million in Q4 2022.

Net income per diluted share was $0.32, an increase of 10.3% compared to $0.29 in Q4 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $79.4 million or 12.4% of net revenue¹, an increase of 19.7% compared to $66.3 million or 14.9% of net revenue¹ in Q4 2022.

Adjusted Net Income¹ was $46.7 million, an increase of 18.2% compared to $39.5 million in Q4 2022.

Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share¹ was $0.40, an increase of 17.6% compared to $0.34 in Q4 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q4 2023 totaled $86.5 million compared to $265.2 million at the end of Q4 2022.

Inventory at the end of Q4 2023 was $467.6 million, an increase of 124.7% compared to $208.1 million at the end of Q4 2022.  As a reminder, in Fiscal 2023 the Company made the strategic decision to build back its inventory base due to unprecedented sales growth, mitigate supply chain risk, and help ensure the Company's ability to fuel the robust demand for its product. On top of that, improved freight timelines resulted in inventory arriving even sooner than anticipated, compared to the prior year when Spring and Summer inventory arrived late, contributing to the year-over-year increase. The Company remains on track for its inventory to normalize by the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 and expects normalized markdowns in Fiscal 2024 to be no greater than pre-pandemic levels. 

Capital cash expenditures (net of proceeds from lease incentives)¹ were $38.5 million in Q4 2023, compared to $16.4 million in Q4 2022.

Fiscal 2023 Compared to Fiscal 2022

Net revenue increased by 46.9% to $2.2 billion, compared to $1.5 billion in Fiscal 2022². The Company continued to see exceptional momentum in the United States, where net revenue increased by 65.8% to $1.1 billion, compared to $676.1 million in Fiscal 2022. The Company also saw meaningful growth in Canada where net revenue increased by 31.3% to $1.1 billion, compared to $818.5 million in Fiscal 2022.

• Retail net revenue increased by 53.3% to $1.4 billion, compared to $930.3 million in Fiscal 2022. The increase in revenue was led by strong performance of our existing and new boutiques in the United States, strong double digit comparable sales growth in Canada, as well as boutique revenue from 34 of our boutiques which were closed for approximately two-thirds of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 ("Q1 2022") and one-third of the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 ("Q2 2022").
• eCommerce net revenue increased by 36.4% to $769.9 million, compared to $564.3 million in Fiscal 2022. Overall eCommerce net revenue growth was moderated by the channel shift to retail in Eastern Canada where 34 of our boutiques were closed for approximately two-thirds of Q1 2022 and one-third of Q2 2022.

Gross profit increased by 39.6% to $914.0 million, compared to $655.0 million in Fiscal 2022. Gross profit margin was 41.6% compared to 43.8% in Fiscal 2022. The 220 bps decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to inflationary pressures, additional warehousing costs, and normalized markdowns from Fiscal 2022 due to low inventory levels last year and foreign exchange headwinds. These impacts were partially offset by leverage on occupancy and depreciation costs and lower freight costs. 

SG&A expenses increased by 53.4% to $602.5 million, compared to $392.8 million in Fiscal 2022. SG&A expenses were 27.4% of net revenue compared to 26.3% in Fiscal 2022. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to additional investments in retail talent to help ensure the Company continues to deliver exceptional client services, as well as ongoing investments in talent, marketing initiatives and technology to help support its growth.

Net income was $187.6 million, an increase of 19.5% compared to $156.9 million in Fiscal 2022.

Net income per diluted share was $1.63, an increase of 19.9%, compared to $1.36 in Fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $351.2 million, or 16.0% of net revenue, an increase of 21.4%, compared to $289.4 million, or 19.4% of net revenue in Fiscal 2022.

Adjusted Net Income¹ was $214.8 million, an increase of 21.5%, compared to $176.7 million in Fiscal 2022.

Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share¹ was $1.86, an increase of 21.6%, compared to $1.53 in Fiscal 2022.

Capital cash expenditures (net of proceeds from lease incentives)¹ were $112.1 million, compared to $52.6 million in Fiscal 2022.

Outlook

The first quarter of Fiscal 2024 is off to a healthy start with the Spring and Summer collections being well-received by clients. Aritzia is on track to deliver expected net revenue in the range of $450 million to $460 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. This would reflect a sales increase of 10% to 13% on top of growth of 65% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The Company continues to see strength in the United States across both its eCommerce and retail channels, as well as continued growth in Canada.

For Fiscal 2024, Aritzia currently expects the following:

• Net revenue in the range of $2.42 billion to $2.5 billion, representing an increase of approximately 10% to 14% from Fiscal 2023 including the 53rd week. This is led by continued strength in the United States across both channels and ongoing growth in Canada, as well as the contribution from retail expansion with:
• • Eight new boutiques and four boutique expansions or repositions, all of which are located in the United States. Six of the eight new boutiques will open in the second half of the fiscal year, including three in the last month of the year.
• Gross profit margin to decrease by approximately 200 bps compared to Fiscal 2023, reflecting ongoing inflationary pressures, normalized markdowns, pre-opening lease amortization and additional warehousing costs related to inventory management, partially offset by lower expedited freight costs.
• SG&A as a percent of net revenue to increase by approximately 150 bps compared to Fiscal 2023, driven by distribution centre project costs and the annualization of investments in talent and increased retail wages made in the back half of Fiscal 2023.
• Capital cash expenditures (net of proceeds from lease incentives)¹ of approximately $220 million.

Over a two-year time period, Aritzia grew its business from $857 million in annual net revenue in Fiscal 2021 to $2.2 billion in Fiscal 2023, resulting in a two-year top line increase of 160% and a new revenue baseline from which the Company expects to continue growing. Further, while just twelve months ago Aritzia expected to generate $1.8 billion in Fiscal 2023 net revenue, the end result was an incremental $400 million dollars higher. This unprecedented growth occurred during a period of elevated cost pressures and a highly unpredictable macro environment. During this time, the Company prioritized maximizing sales growth and meeting the surging demand for its product.

Management's focus in Fiscal 2024 is on building infrastructure to support its higher baseline and ensure scalability for the next phase of growth. Key infrastructure investments include the Company's new cornerstone 550,000 square foot distribution centre in the Toronto area, which will serve as a fulfillment hub for eastern Canada and eastern United States, repositions of the Company's three NYC flagships as well as a new Chicago flagship, expansion of support office space and eCommerce technology to drive eCommerce 2.0.

While the Company anticipates margins will be pressured in the near term, the Company expects Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue¹ to, at a minimum, return to Fiscal 2023 levels of 16%. This is driven by anticipated benefits from product margin improvements, cost efficiencies and subsiding transitory cost pressures, including pre-opening lease amortization for the Company's new cornerstone distribution centre and flagship boutiques, additional warehousing costs related to inventory management and distribution centre project costs. These benefits are expected to total 400 basis points relative to Fiscal 2024.

The Company's management team and Board are confident that Aritzia's growth strategies, targeted infrastructure investments and cost efficiencies will drive sustained double-digit revenue and earnings growth, as reflected in our Fiscal 2027 strategic and financial plan.

The foregoing outlook is based on management's current strategies and may be considered forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. Such outlook is based on estimates and assumptions made by management regarding, among other things, general economic and geopolitical conditions and the competitive environment.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

On January 18, 2023, the Company announced that the TSX had accepted our notice of intention to proceed with a normal course issuer bid (the "2023 NCIB") to repurchase and cancel up to 3,860,745 of its subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 5% of the public float of 77,214,916 subordinate voting shares, over the 12-month period commencing January 20, 2023 and ending January 19, 2024.

On February 3, 2023, the Company announced it had entered into an automatic share purchase plan with a designated broker for the purpose of permitting the Company to purchase its subordinate voting shares under the 2023 NCIB during predetermined blackout periods.

Between January 20, 2023 and May 2, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 35,800 subordinate voting shares for cancellation at an average price of $39.42 per subordinate voting share for total cash consideration of $1.4 million under the 2023 NCIB.

Completion of Secondary Offering

On November 14, 2022, the Company announced a secondary offering (the "2022 secondary offering") on a bought deal basis of its subordinate voting shares through a secondary sale of shares by certain entities owned and/or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Brian Hill, Founder and Executive Chair of Aritzia, or Brian Hill and his immediate family (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders"). The 2022 secondary offering of 1,500,000 subordinate voting shares raised gross proceeds of $77.4 million for the Selling Shareholders, at a price of $51.60 per subordinate voting share and was completed on November 30, 2022. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the 2022 secondary offering.

Comparable Sales Growth

Comparable sales growth is a retail industry metric used to explain our total combined revenue growth in eCommerce and established boutiques. Due to temporary boutique closures from COVID-19 in Fiscal 2022 which resulted in boutiques being removed from our comparable store base, we believe total comparable sales growth was not representative of the underlying trends of our business and therefore we have not reported figures on this metric for Q4 2022 or Fiscal 2022 in this press release.

Non-IFRS Measures and Retail Industry Metrics

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures and certain retail industry metrics. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", and "Adjusted Net Income"; non-IFRS ratios including "Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share", "Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue", and "Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of net revenue"; and capital management measures including "capital cash expenditures (net of proceeds from lease incentives)" and "free cash flow."  This press release also makes reference to "gross profit margin" as well as "comparable sales growth", which are commonly used operating metrics in the retail industry but may be calculated differently by other retailers. Gross profit margin and comparable sales growth are considered supplementary financial measures under applicable securities laws. These non-IFRS measures and retail industry metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures and retail industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures and retail industry metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. Certain information about non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures is found in the Fiscal 2023 MD&A and is incorporated by reference. This information is found in the sections entitled "How We Assess the Performance of our Business", "Non-IFRS Measures and Retail Industry Metrics" and "Selected Financial Information" of the Fiscal 2023 MD&A which is available under the Company's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com. Reconciliations for each non-IFRS financial measure can be found in this press release under the heading "Selected Financial Information".
