Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results (compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2021)
- Total revenue was $586.1m from $474.0m. As fiscal 2022 is a 53-week year, the additional week included in the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 provided $40.9m of revenue.
- DTC revenue was $445.4m from $299.4m. The majority of the increase was driven by higher sales from existing retail stores, complemented by e-Commerce growth and retail expansion.
- Wholesale revenue was $136.7m from $160.8m. The decrease was a result of earlier order shipment timing relative to fiscal 2021, driven by wholesale partner requests.
- Other revenue was $4.0m from $13.8m. The decrease was attributable to temporary PPE sales in the comparative quarter.
- Gross profit was $413.8m, a gross margin of 70.6%, compared to $316.4m and 66.8%.
- DTC gross margin of 77.1%, compared to 77.9%. The decrease was driven by a higher proportion of sales in non-parka categories (-50 bps), higher duty costs (-50 bps), government payroll subsidies in the comparative quarter (-50 bps) and an unfavorable shift in geographic mix (-30 bps). This was partially offset by pricing (+120 bps).
- Wholesale gross margin of 50.2%, compared to 51.5%. The decrease was driven by government payroll subsidies in the comparative quarter (-190 bps) and unfavorable impacts from product mix due to higher sales in non-parka categories (-190 bps). This was partially offset by a higher proportion of sales to wholesale partners compared to international distributors (+100 bps) and pricing (+170 bps).
- Other segment gross profit was $1.6m from $0.3m.
- Operating income was $205.9m, an operating margin of 35.1%, compared to $153.3m and 32.3%.
- DTC operating margin of 57.4%, compared to 55.0%. The positive impact of revenue growth was partially offset by the decrease in segment gross margin.
- Wholesale operating margin of 35.6%, compared to 42.9%. The decrease in operating margin was attributable to lower gross margin and higher SG&A expenses.
- Other operating loss was $(98.5)m from $(80.4)m. The increase in operating loss was attributable to incremental SG&A expenses including $15.3m of investment in marketing, $7.9m of personnel costs and $5.1m in strategic initiatives including digital capabilities and the launch of Canada Goose footwear. This was partially offset by $14.5m of favorable foreign exchange fluctuations.
