Zumiez Inc. Announces Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Results
01 December 2023 - 8:05AM
Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) a leading specialty retailer of apparel,
footwear, equipment and accessories for young men and women, today
reported results for the third quarter ended October 28, 2023.
Net sales for the third quarter ended October 28,
2023 (13 weeks) decreased 8.9% to $216.3 million from $237.6
million in the third quarter ended October 29, 2022 (13 weeks). Net
loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.2 million, or $0.12
per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.9 million, or $0.36
per diluted share, in the third quarter of the prior fiscal
year.
Total net sales for the nine months (39 weeks) ended October 28,
2023 decreased 12.5% to $593.7 million from $678.3 million reported
for the nine months (39 weeks) ended October 29, 2022. Net loss for
the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $29.1 million, or $1.51
per diluted share, compared to net income for the first nine months
of fiscal 2022 of $9.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share.
At October 28, 2023, the Company had cash and current marketable
securities of $135.8 million compared to cash and current
marketable securities of $141.1 million at October 29, 2022. The
decrease was primarily driven by capital expenditures partially
offset by cash flow from operating activities.
Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated,
“Third quarter results came in just ahead of our guidance for sales
and earnings as we saw sequential improvement in the year-over-year
sales comparisons from the first two quarters of 2023. Given the
challenging macroeconomic backdrop, we are encouraged by the
strength of newer brand introductions and fashion trends that we
look to capitalize upon in the important holiday season. While 2023
has certainly been difficult, the adjustments we’ve made to our
merchandise assortment and our steadfast commitment to providing
consumers with superior service and a highly differentiated
shopping experience will continue to separate us from the
competition and position Zumiez to recapture operating margin as
our sales recover.”
Fourth Quarter To-DateTotal fourth quarter-to-date total sales
for the 31 days ending November 28, 2023 decreased 4.6%, compared
with the same 31-day time period in the prior year ended November
29, 2022. Total comparable sales for the 31-day period ending
November 28, 2023 decreased 6.0% from the comparable period in the
prior year.
Fiscal 2023 Fourth Quarter OutlookThe Company is introducing
guidance for the three months ending February 3, 2024. Net sales
are projected to be in the range of $275 to $281 million inclusive
of the 53rd week. Consolidated operating margins are expected to
between 1.5% and 2.5% resulting in earnings per diluted share of
approximately $0.24 to $0.34. The Company currently intends to open
19 new stores in fiscal 2023, including up to 5 stores in North
America, 10 stores in Europe and 4 stores in Australia.
