ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

•Company delivered decade-high first quarter net sales led by 14% growth from Abercrombie brands

•Gross profit rate up 570 basis points over Q1 2022, driving operating margin above expectations

•Inventory levels down 20% year-over-year from supply chain recovery and return of chase capability

•Company increases full year outlook ranges on sales and operating margin

New Albany, Ohio, May 24, 2023: Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) today announced results for the first quarter ended April 29, 2023. These compare to results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2022. Descriptions of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures accompany this release.

Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fiscal 2023 is off to a strong start with first quarter net sales and operating margin above our expectations. Net sales grew 3% to last year, led by Abercrombie brands where we grew 14%, achieving the highest first quarter sales in more than a decade. Abercrombie’s offering is resonating meaningfully with our target customer, setting several other sales records this quarter across genders, categories and geographies. Work continues in Hollister brands, where we managed a healthy business from a gross profit rate and inventory perspective and continued to improve the assortment as we prepare for the summer and back-to-school seasons. Both brands were able to deliver year-over-year AUR growth and lower freight costs, driving 570 basis points of gross profit rate improvement and a first quarter operating profit above our expectation.

Looking ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic on consumer demand and our ability to react to a dynamic macro environment, further supported by our strong balance sheet. We are managing inventory tightly and each brand is in a position to chase demand. Importantly, we are progressing on key, strategic investments across stores, digital and technology to deliver growth on both the top and bottom lines from 2022 levels consistent with our Always Forward Plan.”

•Inventories of $448 million, a decrease of 20% compared to April 30, 2022.

•Long-term gross borrowings under the company’s senior secured notes of $300 million (the “Senior Secured Notes”) which mature in July 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum.

•Borrowing available under the senior-secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) of $311 million.

•Liquidity, comprised of cash and equivalents and borrowing available under the ABL Facility, of approximately $758 million. This compares to liquidity of $866 million and $783 million as of January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively.


Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Details related to the company’s cash flows for the year-to-date period ended April 29, 2023 are as follows:

•Net cash used for operating activities of $1 million.

•Net cash used for investing activities of $46 million.

•Net cash used for financing activities of $22 million.

Depreciation and amortization was $36 million for the year-to-date period ended April 29, 2023.


Fiscal 2023 Full Year Outlook

The following outlook replaces all previous full year guidance. For fiscal 2023, the company now expects:

•Net sales growth in the range of 2 to 4% from $3.7 billion in 2022. This is an increase to the previous outlook of up 1 to 3%. The current outlook assumes that Abercrombie will continue to outperform Hollister and the U.S. will continue to outperform International. Also, fiscal 2023 includes a 53rd week for reporting purposes, along with net store expansion. The 53rd week is estimated to add approximately $45 million to total net sales in the fourth quarter and full year of 2023.

•Operating margin to be in a range of 5 to 6%. This range improves from the previous outlook of 4 to 5%. The current outlook includes a benefit of around 250 basis points from full year 2022 levels on expected net improvement in freight and raw material costs, partially offset by modest operating margin deleverage from the combination of inflation and

increased operating expense investment for the 2025 Always Forward Plan initiatives, including an upgrade of our retail merchandising ERP system.

•Effective tax rate to be in the high-30s. This replaces the previous outlook of mid-40s. The current outlook assumes the continued inability to realize benefits on certain expected tax losses incurred outside of the U.S., although to a lesser extent than the prior outlook provided.

•Capital expenditures of approximately $160 million.


Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Outlook

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the company expects:

•Net sales growth to be in the range of 4 to 6% compared to fiscal second quarter 2022 level of $805 million.

•Operating margin to be in the range of 2 to 3% compared to breakeven in Q2 2022 period on expected net improvement in freight and raw material costs, partially offset by modest operating margin deleverage from the combination of inflation and increased operating expense investment for the 2025 Always Forward Plan initiatives, including an upgrade of our retail merchandising ERP system.

•Effective tax rate around 50% with the rate being sensitive to the jurisdictional mix and level of income.

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.
