Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) today announced results for

week fourth quarter and fifty-three week year ended

financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP
financial measures accompany this release.
Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said, “In
fiscal 2024, we once again delivered on our commitments to our
global customers and shareholders. We entered the fiscal year with
the goal of achieving sustainable, profitable growth on top of a
defining fiscal 2023, and our collective effort and focus produced
results well beyond our initial expectations. We grew net sales 16%
to nearly $5 billion while expanding operating margin to 15%, with
operating income and EPS growth of 53% and 72%, respectively.
We enter fiscal 2025 with highly relevant brands,
an agile playbook, and a motivated global team driven by a culture
of innovation and growth. Our expectation in 2025 is to build on
the past two years of outstanding results and again deliver
profitable growth while strengthening our brands and operating
model.”

Reclassification of Consolidated Statements of
Operations |
In prior periods, the company included stores
and distribution expense and marketing, general and administrative
expense as individual expense categories on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The company now believes presenting
selling expense and general and administrative expense categories
on the Consolidated Statements of Operations is more reflective of
the current operating structure. As a result, the company
reassessed the classification of certain marketing, store and
distribution center support, and digital and technology expenses
and made reclassification adjustments to align with the expense
categories currently presented on the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations. In addition, the Company eliminated the
gross profit subtotal on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. There were no changes to operating income or net
income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
current year’s presentation.
This document includes certain adjusted non-GAAP
financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in
understanding the Company's results of operations or financial
position. Additional details about non-GAAP financial measures and
a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial
measures can be found in the "Reporting and Use of GAAP and
Non-GAAP Measures" section. Sub-totals and totals may not foot due
to rounding. Net income and net income per share financial measures
included herein are attributable to Abercrombie & Fitch Co.,
excluding net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
As used in this document, references to
"Americas" includes North America and South America, "EMEA"
includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa and "APAC" includes the
Asia-Pacific region, including Asia and Oceania.

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.
In addition, the company provides EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures used by the company's
executive management to assess the company's performance. We also
believe these supplemental performance measures are meaningful
information for investors and other interested parties to use in
computing the company's core financial performance over multiple
periods and with other companies by excluding the impact of
differences in tax jurisdictions, debt service levels and capital
investment.
