GILDAN ACTIVEWEAR INC.

Q4 First Look: High-quality Beat; Introduces Strong Three-year Financial Outlook

Gildan reported excellent Q4 results with adjusted EPS of $0.76 well ahead of CIBCe/consensus of $0.63/$0.60 driven by strong top line, healthy gross margins, and good cost control. Revenue benefited from strong activewear sales driven by higher volumes (higher POS and to a lesser extent some distributor restocking) and net selling prices, partially offset by unfavourable product mix. Adjusted gross margins of 30.6% were well ahead of expectations and increased on a sequential basis from 30.0% in Q3 (excluding the 140bps positive impact from the reversal of a reserve for promotion) while SG&A dollars were controlled once again this quarter. Notably, GIL delivered full-year EBIT margins of 20.2%, well ahead of its long-term goal of 18%.

The company also introduced a three-year financial outlook  Gildan
Sustainable Growth Strategy  ahead of its March 29 investor day. GIL
expects net sales growth to grow at a CAGR between 7% and 10%, annual adjusted EBIT margins in the range of 18% to 20% and capex in the range of 6% to 8% of sales. The revenue CAGR is well ahead of current consensus expectations (F22 at 7% and F23 at 5%) and implies F24 annual revenue of $3,580MM to $3,890MMM. FY22 CIBCe/consensus estimates for EBIT margin both sit at 18.2%, or the low end of the outlook range. Capex is modestly above our forecasts, but clearly the revenue and margin targets imply upside to consensus earnings estimates.

The company also raised its quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.169 and
increased the size of its current NCIB to 10% (or ~19.5MM shares) from 5%.

Management will host a conference call at 8:30am ET; dial-in numbers are
(877) 282-2924 or (470) 495-9480, passcode 4293025#.
