Vince Holding Corp. (NYSE:VNCE), a leading global contemporary
group (“Vince” or the “Company”), today reported its financial
results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021 ended January 29,
2022.
In this press release, the Company is presenting its historical
financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") as well as on an "adjusted" basis.
Adjusted results presented in this press release are non-GAAP
financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for
more information about the Company's use of non-GAAP financial
measures and Exhibit 3 to this press release for a reconciliation
of GAAP measures to such non-GAAP measures.
Highlights for the fourth quarter ended January 29, 2022:
- Net sales increased 32.4% to $99.0 million as compared to $74.8
million in the same period last year reflecting a 25.6% increase in
Vince brand sales and a 121.3% increase in Rebecca Taylor and
Parker.
- Gross margin rate was 44.0% compared to 36.9% in the same
period last year.
- Income from operations was $1.8 million compared to a loss from
operations of $3.9 million in the same period last year.
- Net loss was $2.7 million or $(0.23) per share compared to a
net loss of $7.4 million or $(0.62) per share in the same period
last year.
Jack Schwefel, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Although
there are currently many headwinds beyond our control, we are very
encouraged with the ongoing strength in our Vince brand. We have a
solid foundation with strong brand equity and deep customer
connections, which we will continue to leverage to further expand
awareness and drive long-term growth. As we head into 2022, while
we remain focused on executing our strategies including the
expansion of our omni-channel capabilities, digital transformation
and growing our men’s and international businesses, we will
continue to employ measures to mitigate the impact of supply chain
challenges and cost inflation by pulling forward inventory and
instituting additional prices increases. Longer term, we continue
to see ample opportunity to grow our brands and look forward to
driving market share gains as we capitalize on the increasing white
space in the contemporary luxury category.”
For the fourth quarter ended January 29, 2022:
- Total Company net sales increased 32.4% to $99.0 million
compared to $74.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2020.
- Gross profit was $43.6 million, or 44.0% of net sales, compared
to gross profit of $27.6 million, or 36.9% of net sales, in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in the gross margin
rate was primarily due to lower year-over-year adjustments to
inventory reserves and lower promotional activity in the
direct-to-consumer channel, partially offset by higher freight
costs.
- Selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $41.8
million, or 42.2% of sales, compared to $31.5 million, or 42.1% of
sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in
SG&A dollars was primarily the result of higher payroll and
compensation expense, increased investments in marketing, as well
as higher occupancy costs due to landlord rent concessions received
in the prior year.
- Income from operations was $1.8 million compared to a loss from
operations of $3.9 million in the same period last year.
- Income tax expense was $2.8 million as a result of an annual
non-cash deferred tax expense created by the amortization of
indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets for tax but not for
book purposes.
- Net loss was $2.7 million or $(0.23) per share compared to a
net loss of $7.4 million or $(0.62) per share in the same period
last year.
- The Company ended the quarter with 86 company-operated Vince
and Rebecca Taylor stores, a net increase of 15 stores since the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Vince Fourth Quarter Highlights
- Net sales increased 25.6% to $87.3 million as compared to the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
- Wholesale segment sales increased 10.4% to $43.2 million
compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
- Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 45.2% to $44.1
million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
- Income from operations excluding unallocated corporate expenses
was $15.9 million compared to income of $12.0 million in the same
period last year.
Rebecca Taylor and Parker Fourth Quarter Highlights
- Net sales increased 121.3% to $11.7 million as compared to the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
- Loss from operations was $1.3 million compared to a loss from
operations of $5.0 million in the same period last year.

Beginning with the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2021, the Company changed the allocation methodology for
certain corporate operational expenses between the Vince Wholesale
and Vince Direct-to-consumer segments. The prior period has been
updated to conform to the current allocation methodology. These
changes did not impact the Company’s previously reported
consolidated financial results.
(2)
Unallocated corporate expenses are related
to the Vince brand and are comprised of selling, general and
administrative expenses attributable to corporate and
administrative activities (such as marketing, design, finance,
information technology, legal and human resource departments), and
other charges that are not directly attributable to the Company’s
Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer reportable
segments.
For the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022:
- Total Company net sales increased 46.8% to $322.7 million

- Gross profit was $146.6 million, or 45.4% of net sales,
compared to gross profit of $88.6 million, or 40.3% of net sales,
in fiscal 2020. The increase in the gross margin rate was primarily
due to lower year-over-year adjustments to inventory reserves and
lower promotional activity in the direct-to-consumer channel,
partially offset by higher freight costs.
- Selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $146.1
million, or 45.3% of sales, compared to $122.8 million, or 55.9% of
sales, in fiscal 2020. The increase in SG&A dollars was
primarily the result of higher payroll and compensation expense,
increased investments in marketing, as well as higher occupancy
costs due to landlord rent concessions received in the prior
year.
- Operating income was $0.5 million compared to operating loss of
$61.1 million in fiscal 2020. Excluding non-cash asset impairment
charges, adjusted operating loss was $34.2 million in fiscal 2020.
Please refer to Exhibit 3 for a reconciliation of GAAP measures to
non-GAAP measures.
- Income tax expense was $4.6 million as a result of an annual
non-cash deferred tax expense created by the amortization of
indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets for tax but not for
book purposes.
- Net loss was $12.7 million or $(1.07) per share compared to a
net loss of $65.6 million or $(5.58) per share in the same period
last year. Net loss in fiscal 2021 includes $1.5 million of expense
related to the termination of the 2018 Term Loan Facility.

2020.

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
GAAP, the Company has provided, with respect to financial results
relating to twelve months ended January 30, 2021, adjusted
operating income (loss), adjusted income (loss) before income
taxes, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net income (loss) and
adjusted earnings (loss) per share, which are non-GAAP measures, in
order to eliminate the effect of non-cash asset impairment charges
and the TRA adjustment. The Company believes that the presentation
of these non-GAAP measures facilitates an understanding of the
Company's continuing operations without the impact associated with
the aforementioned items. While these types of events can and do
recur periodically, they are excluded from the indicated financial
information due to their impact on the comparability of earnings
across periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of
GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Exhibit 3 to this
press release.
