ROCKFORD, Mich., February 19, 2025 – Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE: WWW) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 ended December 28, 2024.

 

“A year ago, we outlined an ambitious turnaround strategy composed of three chapters: stabilization, transformation, and inflection. We shared a plan to meaningfully strengthen the Company's balance sheet, expand profitability, and sequentially improve revenue trends – culminating with an inflection to growth in the final quarter of 2024,” said Chris Hufnagel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wolverine Worldwide. “I'm pleased to report that we accomplished all of these objectives. In the fourth quarter, we exceeded our expectations for revenue and earnings and inflected to growth as a Company – delivering better-than-anticipated results for 2024. As we begin 2025, our brands are poised to continue to build on our momentum, standing on a much healthier foundation with stronger product pipelines and compelling storytelling. Our team is encouraged by the work we've accomplished together and excited to turn the page."

FULL-YEAR 2025 OUTLOOK

 

The Company expects to build on the momentum gained in 2024 and make continued progress on its transformation in fiscal year 2025. The outlook for 2025 highlights the strength of our focused portfolio and investments to support our brands and strategic initiatives. Additionally, projections reflect the impact of foreign currency headwinds and a 53rd week, which will affect annual comparisons. A breakdown of these factors can be found in the Investor Presentation on our website.

 

Comparable results from 2024 for our ongoing business exclude the financial impact of Sperry which was sold in January 2024.

 

For fiscal year 2025, the Company expects:

 

Revenue to be approximately $1.795 to $1.825 billion, representing growth of approximately 2.5% to 4.3% compared to the 2024 ongoing business and constant currency growth of approximately 4.7% to 6.5%.

Gross margin of approximately 45.5%, up 100 basis points compared to 2024.

Operating margin to be approximately 7.7%, up 190 basis points compared to 2024 operating margin, and adjusted operating margin to be approximately 8.3%, up 80 basis points compared to 2024 adjusted operating margin for our ongoing business.

The effective tax rate to be approximately 18.0%.

Diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.95 to $1.10 and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.05 to $1.20. These full-year EPS expectations include an approximate $0.08 negative impact from expected foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Diluted weighted average shares of approximately 81.5 million.

 

“2024 was a pivotal year for our 142-year-old Company. While we haven't yet reached our full potential, I'm encouraged by the progress we've made and thankful for our teams and partners around the world," Hufnagel continued. "The most important chapter is the next one, as we drive together to deliver better, more consistent returns for our shareholders."

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

Measures referred to in this release as “adjusted” financial results and the financial results of the "ongoing business" are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted financial results exclude environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs, gain on the sale of businesses, trademarks and long-lived assets, Sperry® store closure costs, costs associated with divestitures and pension costs. The financial results of the ongoing business exclude financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses. Revenue adjusted for divestitures and business model changes excludes financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses and are adjusted to include the impact of business model changes in 2023 (the transition of Hush Puppies North America to a licensing model, Hush Puppies IP sale, and conversion of the China joint ventures to the distributor model) and business model changes in 2024 (the transition of Merrell and Saucony Kids to a licensing model). The Company also presents constant currency information, which is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company calculates constant currency basis by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's current period reported results. The Company believes providing each of these non-GAAP measures provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance.

 

The Company has provided a reconciliation of each of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors because they increase the comparability of current period results to prior period results by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of core operating results and enable better identification of trends in our business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on a comparable basis. Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EARNINGS CALL INFORMATION

 

The Company will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss these results and current business trends. The conference call will be broadcast live and accessible under the “Investor Relations” tab at www.wolverineworldwide.com. A replay of the conference call will be available on the Company’s website for a period of approximately 30 days.

(1)2025 adjustments reflect estimated environmental and other related costs net of recoveries and reorganization costs.

 

*To supplement the consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company describes what certain financial measures would have been if environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs and gain on the sale of businesses, trademarks and long-lived assets, and pension costs were excluded. The financial results of the ongoing business for 2023 and 2024 exclude financial results from the Sperry business, the Keds business and Wolverine Leathers business. Revenue adjusted for divestitures and business model changes excludes financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses and are adjusted to include the impact of business model changes in 2023 (the transition of Hush Puppies North America to a licensing model, Hush Puppies IP sale, and conversion of the China joint ventures to the distributor model) and business model changes in 2024 (the transition of Merrell and Saucony Kids to a licensing model). The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by increasing comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core ongoing operating business results and to better identify trends in the Company's ongoing business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on a comparable basis

 

The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance. The Company calculates constant currency by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's current period reported results.

 

Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitution for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are found in the financial tables above.

+ Investor Presentation | 4Q24 FY25 Guidance for Ongoing1Business 16 Revenue +3.4% vs. FY24 (at mid-point of guidance) $1.795B – $1.825B We expect revenue to be in the range of $1.795 billion to $1.825 billion, an increase of 3.4% at the mid-point. This reflects an estimated $40 million currency headwind to the prior year. On a constant currency basis, we expect revenue growth to be up approximately 5.6% at the mid-point. Adjusted Gross Margin(2) Approximately 45.5% Adjusted gross margin is expected to be approximately 45.5% at the mid-point of the outlook range – an increase of 90 basis points from last year as we continue to benefit from more full price sales and product cost savings. Adjusted Operating Margin(2) Approximately 8.2% Operating margin includes an approximate $8 million or 30 basis point negative impact due to foreign currency headwinds. Adjusted EPS(2) $0.91 in 2024 $1.05 - $1.20 Working capital and cash flow optimization remains a priority in 2025. Operating free cash flow is expected in the range of $70 million to $80 million – with approximately $40 million of capital expenditures. This range reflects higher earnings versus the prior year and incremental investments to fuel brand growth, capabilities, and technology modernization.

+ Investor Presentation | 4Q24 Non -GAAP Information 19 Measures referred to in this release as “adjusted” financial results and the financial results of the "ongoing business" are non -GAAP measures . Adjusted financial results exclude environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, non -cash impairment of long -lived assets, reorganization costs, gain on the sale of businesses, trademarks and long -lived assets, Sperry® store closure costs, costs associated with divestitures and pension costs . The financial results of the ongoing business exclude financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses . Revenue adjusted for divestitures and business model changes exclude financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses and are adjusted to include the impact of business model changes in 2023 (the transition of Hush Puppies North America to a licensing model, Hush Puppies IP sale, and conversion of the China joint ventures to the distributor model) and business model changes in 2024 (the transition of Merrell and Saucony Kids to a licensing model) . The Company also presents constant currency information, which is a non -GAAP measure that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates . The Company calculates constant currency basis by converting the current -period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's current period reported results . The Company believes providing each of these non -GAAP measures provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance . The Company has provided a reconciliation of each of the above non -GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure . The Company believes these non -GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors because they increase the comparability of current period results to prior period results by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of core operating results and enable better identification of trends in our business . The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on a comparable basis . Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non -GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP .

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED DILUTED EPS TO ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS ON A CONSTANT CURRENCY BASIS* (Unaudited) GAAP Basis Adjustments (1) Divestiture (2) As Adjusted Foreign Exchange Impact Non-GAAP Reconciliations 23 * To supplement the consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company describes what certain financial measures would have been if environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs and gain on the sale of businesses, trademarks and long-lived assets, and pension costs were excluded. The financial results of the ongoing business for 2023 and 2024 exclude financial results from the Sperry business, the Keds business and Wolverine Leathers business. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by increasing comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core ongoing operating business results and to better identify trends in the Company's ongoing business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on a comparable basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance. The Company calculates constant currency by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's current period reported results. Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitution for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this presentation, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are found in the financial tables above. The Sperry business reflects the revenue and operating profit from sale of Sperry products through the sale of the Sperry business effective January 10, 2024. The amounts also include revenue and operating profit associated with Sperry stores not included in the divestiture which the Company has closed or is in the process of closing, costs associated with Sperry employees not included in the divestiture transaction and costs incurred winding down the Sperry business, including the Sperry business with joint venture partners,that are not covered by the transition service agreement. The Sperry business revenue and operating profit will not reoccur after the Company closes all of the Sperry stores that were not divested and completes the transition of the Sperry business and employees.
