YETI Holdings, Inc. (“YETI”) (NYSE: YETI) today announced its
financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended
December 30, 2023. The results below should be read in conjunction
with the “Product Recall Updates” section of this press
release.
YETI reports its financial performance in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”) and as adjusted on a non-GAAP basis. YETI’s
non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of the voluntary recalls, as
well as certain other items. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial
Information” below for additional information and reconciliations
of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP
financial measures.

Drinkware net sales and a 44% increase in International net sales;
International adjusted net sales increased 39%
- Fourth quarter EPS of $0.90 compared to loss per share of $0.32

3%

to $2.25
- Cash increased 87% to $439 million compared to Fiscal 2022
Matt Reintjes, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“In the fourth quarter, we saw strength in a number of key areas of
our business. Our Drinkware business grew 12%, pushing the category
to over $1 billion in annual sales. Also, our international
expansion continued in the fourth quarter, with our business
outside the US growing 39%. Despite strong topline performance in
these areas, our fourth quarter results were below our guidance,
primarily as a result of more cautious and inconsistent spending on
high-priced ticket items in our Coolers & Equipment category.
Gross margins continued to expand in the fourth quarter, reaching
an all-time high of over 60 percent, which supported a return of
adjusted operating margin expansion. And we exited the year with
our strongest balance sheet to-date, including a record cash
position of nearly $440 million.”
Mr. Reintjes continued, “In 2023, we continued to show the
strength of our customer base, the success of our product
expansion, and the momentum behind our global brand. During the
year, we evolved our diverse commercial channels to market through
existing and new wholesale partners, continued to make investments
in our DTC channels, and further developed our international
markets. We delivered a robust lineup of new product innovation
while maintaining our focus on durability, performance, and design.
Importantly, we broadened and extended the reach of YETI drinkware
with new offerings in hydration, coffee, barware and tabletop,
which resonated with both new and existing customers. Additionally,
we made foundational international investments across brand
awareness, logistics, and DTC to support international growth into
2024 and beyond.”
Fourth Quarter 2023
Results
Sales increased 16% to $519.8 million, compared to $448.0
million during the same period last year. The recall reserves
favorably impacted sales by $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of
2023 and unfavorably impacted sales by $38.4 million in the prior
year quarter. See “Product Recall Updates” below for additional
information on the impact of the recalls referenced throughout this
press release.
Adjusted sales, which exclude the impacts of the recall
reserves in both the current and prior year quarters, increased 6%
to $517.0 million.
Sales and adjusted sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 include
$6.5 million of sales related to gift card redemptions in
connection with recall remedies.
- Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel sales increased 11% to
$344.9 million, compared to $309.5 million in the prior year
quarter, due to growth in Drinkware. Excluding the impacts related
to the recall reserves, DTC channel adjusted sales increased 9% to
$344.1 million.
- Wholesale channel sales increased 26% to $174.9 million,
compared to $138.5 million in the same period last year. Excluding
the impacts of the recall reserves, wholesale channel adjusted
sales increased 1% to $172.9 million.
- Drinkware sales increased 12% to $346.0 million, compared to
$308.2 million in the prior year quarter, driven by the continued
expansion and innovation of our Drinkware product offerings,
including Rambler straw lid mugs, Rambler and Yonder bottles, new
specialty coffee cups and tabletop solutions, as well as new
seasonal colorways.
- Coolers & Equipment sales increased 26% to $165.0 million,
compared to $130.5 million in the same period last year. Excluding
the impacts of the recall reserves, Coolers & Equipment
adjusted sales decreased 4% to $162.2 million. This decrease was
primarily due to a decline in hard coolers, which were impacted by
more cautious and inconsistent spending for higher-priced ticket
items. These impacts were partially offset by strong performance in
our new Hopper M12 Soft Backpack Cooler and M15 Soft Cooler, cargo,
and bags.
Gross profit increased 89% to $315.2 million, or 60.6% of
sales, compared to $167.0 million, or 37.3% of sales, in the fourth
quarter of 2022. The recall reserves favorably impacted gross
profit by $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and
unfavorably impacted gross profit by $97.0 million in the prior
year quarter. The net impact of the recall reserves had a 1,740
basis point impact on the increase in gross margin compared to the
prior year quarter. The remaining increase in gross margin was
primarily due to lower inbound freight costs, lower product costs,
and the increased mix of our higher-margin DTC channel, including
our growing Amazon Marketplace business.
Adjusted gross profit, which excludes the impacts of the
recall reserves in both the current and prior year quarters,
increased $47.1 million to $311.1 million, or 60.2% of adjusted
sales, compared to $264.0 million, or 54.3% of adjusted sales, in
the fourth quarter of 2022.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”)
expenses increased 3% to $217.1 million, compared to $210.8
million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The recall reserves
favorably impacted SG&A expenses by $0.8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2023 and unfavorably impacted SG&A expenses by $31.9
million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of sales,
SG&A expenses decreased 520 basis points to 41.8% from 47.0% in
the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the recall reserves,
SG&A expenses increased $39.0 million primarily due to higher
variable expenses on higher sales, higher employee costs, including
incentive compensation costs, and marketing expenses.
Adjusted SG&A expenses, which exclude the impacts
related to the recalls and certain other items in both the current
and prior year quarters, increased 19% to $208.5 million, compared
to $174.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. As a percentage of
adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses increased 430 basis
points to 40.3% from 36.0% in the prior year period. This increase
is primarily due to the mix impact of higher DTC adjusted sales on
variable expenses, higher employee costs, including employee
incentive compensation costs, and marketing expenses.
Operating income was $98.2 million, or 18.9% of sales,
compared to an operating loss of $43.7 million, or 9.8% of sales
during the prior year quarter. Operating income includes a $4.9
million favorable impact related to the recall reserves in fourth
quarter of 2023, and a $128.9 million unfavorable impact related to
the recall reserves in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted operating income, which excludes the impacts
related to the recalls and certain other items in both the current
and prior year quarters, increased 15% to $102.6 million, or 19.8%
of adjusted sales, compared to $89.1 million, or 18.3% of adjusted
sales during the same period last year.
Net income, which includes the impacts from the recall
reserves, was $78.6 million, or 15.1% of sales, compared to a net
loss of $27.7 million, or 6.2% of sales in the prior year quarter;
Net income per diluted share was $0.90, compared to a net
loss per diluted share of $0.32 in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted net income increased 16% to $78.8 million, or
15.2% of adjusted sales, compared to $67.7 million, or 13.9% of
adjusted sales in the prior year quarter; Adjusted net income
per diluted share increased 15% to $0.90, compared to $0.78 per
diluted share in the prior year quarter.
Full Year 2023 Results
Sales increased 4% to $1,658.7 million, compared to
$1,595.2 million in the prior year. The recall reserves unfavorably
impacted sales by $21.7 million in 2023 and $38.4 million in 2022.
See “Product Recall Updates” below for additional information on
the impact of the recalls referenced throughout this press
release.
Adjusted sales, which exclude the unfavorable impacts of
the recall reserves in both the current and prior year quarters,
increased 3% to $1,680.4 million.
Our 2023 financial results were materially adversely impacted by
the stop sale of the soft coolers included in the recalls initiated
during the first quarter of 2023. In addition, sales and adjusted
net sales for 2023 include $25.3 million of sales related to gift
card redemptions in connection with recall remedies.
- DTC channel sales increased 9% to $997.7 million, compared to
$917.7 million in the prior year period, due to growth in
Drinkware. Excluding the impacts related to the recall reserves,
DTC channel adjusted sales increased 9% to $1,005.1 million due to
growth in both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment.
- Wholesale channel sales decreased 2% to $661.0 million,
compared to $677.5 million in the same period last year. Excluding
the impacts related to the recall reserves, wholesale channel
adjusted sales decreased 5% to $675.4 million due to a decline in
Coolers & Equipment, partially offset by growth in
Drinkware.
- Drinkware sales increased 8% to $1,023.0 million, compared to
$947.2 million in the prior year period, reflecting strong demand
for the continued expansion and innovation of our Drinkware product
offerings, including Rambler straw lid mugs, Rambler and Yonder
bottles, specialty coffee cups and tabletop solutions, as well as
new seasonal colorways.
- Coolers & Equipment sales decreased 2% to $597.5 million,
compared to $612.5 million in the same period last year. Excluding
the impacts of the recall reserves, Coolers & Equipment
adjusted sales decreased 5% to $619.2 million. This decrease was
primarily due to the stop sale of the products affected by the
recalls, partially offset by the introduction of our new Hopper M12
Soft Backpack Cooler and M15 Soft Cooler, and strong performance in
our Hopper Flip soft cooler line, cargo and bags.
Gross profit increased 24% to $943.2 million, or 56.9% of
sales, compared to $763.4 million, or 47.9% of sales in the prior
year. The recall reserves unfavorably impacted gross profit by
$13.2 million in 2023 and $97.0 million in 2022. The net impact of
the recall reserves had a 480 basis point impact on the increase in
gross margin compared to the prior year quarter. The remaining
increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower inbound freight
costs, lower product costs, and the increased mix of our DTC
channel, including our growing Amazon Marketplace business
Adjusted gross profit, which excludes the impacts related
to the recall reserves in both the current and prior year quarters,
increased $96.1 million to $956.5 million, or 56.9% of adjusted
sales, compared to $860.4 million, or 52.7% of adjusted sales, in
the prior year.
SG&A expenses increased 13% to $717.7 million,
compared to $637.0 million in the prior year. The recall reserves
favorably impacted SG&A expenses by $11.4 million in 2023 and
unfavorably impacted SG&A expenses by $31.9 million in 2022. As
a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 340 basis points
to 43.3% from 39.9% in the prior year period. Excluding the impact
of the recall reserves, SG&A expenses increased $124.0 million
primarily due to higher employee costs, including incentive
compensation costs and investments in headcount to support future
growth, higher variable expenses on higher sales, and marketing
expenses.
Adjusted SG&A expenses, which exclude the impacts
related to the recall reserves and certain other items in both the
current and prior year quarters, increased 18% to $693.7 million,
compared to $586.1 million in the prior year. As a percentage of
adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses increased 540 basis
points to 41.3% from 35.9% in the prior year period. This increase
is primarily due to the mix impact of higher DTC adjusted sales on
variable expenses, higher employee costs, including employee
incentive compensation costs, and marketing expenses.
Operating income increased 78% to $225.5 million, or
13.6% of sales, compared to $126.4 million, or 7.9% of sales during
the prior year. Operating income includes a $1.9 million
unfavorable impact related to the recall reserves in 2023, and a
$128.9 million unfavorable impact related to the recall reserves in
2022.
Adjusted operating income, which excludes the impacts
related to the recalls and certain other items in both the current
and prior year quarters, decreased 4% to $262.8 million, or 15.6%
of adjusted sales, compared to $274.3 million, or 16.8% of adjusted
sales during the same period last year.

reserves, increased 89% to $169.9 million, or 10.2% of sales,
compared to $89.7 million, or 5.6% of sales in the prior year;
Net income per diluted share increased 88% to $1.94,
compared to $1.03 per diluted share in the prior year.
Adjusted net income decreased 4% to $197.0 million, or
11.7% of adjusted sales, compared to $205.7 million, or 12.6% of
adjusted sales in the prior year period; Adjusted net income per
diluted share decreased 5% to $2.25, compared to $2.36 per
diluted share in the same period last year.
Balance Sheet and Other
Highlights
Cash increased $204.2 million to $439.0 million, compared
to $234.7 million at the end of Fiscal 2022.
Inventory decreased 9% to $337.2 million, compared to
$371.4 million at the end of Fiscal 2022.
Total debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized
deferred financing fees, was $82.3 million, compared to $90.0
million at the end of Fiscal 2022. During the fourth quarter of
2023, we made mandatory debt payments of $1.1 million.
Fiscal 2024 Outlook
Mr. Reintjes commented, “As we shift our focus to 2024 and the
opportunities ahead, we are providing our 2024 outlook and updates
on our capital allocation initiatives. Thus far in the first
quarter of 2024, through two targeted acquisitions, we have added a
great addition to our bags and packs product family, and made our
first move in cookware with a best in class cast iron offering.
These deals illustrate YETI’s strategy to pursue acquisitions as an
extension of our product line up while complementing our organic
product expansion. Combining the talent and product portfolios of
these two deals with YETI’s brand strength, existing product
portfolio, product marketing capabilities, and unique omni-channel
model, provides an opportunity to accelerate expansion in the bags
and cookware families.
Also, as we look to leverage the strength of our balance sheet
while maintaining flexibility, our Board of Directors has
authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of YETI’s common
stock. We plan to utilize this authorization as part of our overall
capital allocation strategy, which prioritizes investing in growth,
using targeted product acquisitions as part of our brand extension,
and opportunistic stock repurchase.
Given the uncertainties of the current environment, our outlook
for 2024 balances a cautious approach with the ongoing
opportunities that we see to drive growth through brand, product,
and geographic expansion. We expect to see positive reaction to
innovation across our entire product portfolio in 2024. Sales are
projected to grow across all of our categories, channels, and
geographies. We expect both adjusted gross margin and adjusted
operating margin expansion, as well as strong earnings per share
growth, even as we continue to strategically invest in our teams
and our business across the globe. We also expect to remain in a
very strong balance sheet position, which gives us flexibility
going forward to continue to support future growth and drive
shareholder value.”
Mr. Reintjes concluded, “Finally – and most importantly – we
enter the year as excited and committed as ever to the strength of
the YETI brand, and the long-term sustainable opportunities that we
have in front of us to expand our brand to more products, more
customers, and more geographies around the globe.”
For Fiscal 2024, YETI expects:
- Adjusted sales to increase between 7% and 9%;
- Adjusted operating income as a percentage of adjusted
sales of approximately 16.0%;
- An effective tax rate of approximately 25.3% (compared
to 24.8% in the prior year period);
- Adjusted net income per diluted share between $2.45 and
$2.50, reflecting a 9% to 11% increase;
- Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of
approximately 87.4 million; and
- Capital expenditures of approximately $60 million
primarily to support investments in technology and new product
innovation.
2024 Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2024, we completed the acquisitions
of Mystery Ranch, Ltd. (“Mystery Ranch”), a designer and
manufacturer of durable load-bearing backpacks, bags, and pack
accessories, and Butter Pat Industries, LLC (“Butter Pat”), a
designer and manufacturer of cast iron cookware. The total purchase
consideration for both transactions was approximately $48.5 million
in cash.
2024 Share Repurchase
Program
YETI announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a
share repurchase program of up to $300 million of YETI’s common
stock.
Repurchases of shares of common stock may be made through
various methods, including, but not limited to, open market,
privately negotiated, or accelerated share repurchase transactions.
The timing, manner, price, and actual amount of share repurchases
will be determined by management based on various factors,
including, but not limited to, stock price, economic and market
conditions, other capital management needs and opportunities, and
corporate and regulatory considerations. YETI has no obligation to
repurchase any amount of its common stock, and such repurchases, if
any, may be suspended or discontinued at any time. YETI expects to
fund repurchase from YETI’s existing cash position or future cash
flow generated from operations.
Product Recall Updates
New and Expanded Hopper M Series Soft
Cooler Line
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we introduced our redesigned and
improved Hopper M30 Soft Cooler, Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler,
and SideKick Dry gear case, and also launched two new sizes with
the Hopper M15 Soft Cooler and the Hopper M12 Soft Backpack Cooler.
We believe the improved design of the these products adequately
addresses the potential safety concerns caused by the magnet-lined
closures of the previous-generation products, which were affected
by the product recalls.
Product Recall Reserve
In February 2023, we proposed a voluntary recall of our Hopper
M30 Soft Cooler, Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, and SideKick Dry
gear case (the “affected products”). As a result, we established
reserves for unsalable inventory on-hand and estimated product
recall expenses as of December 31, 2022. In connection with the
recognition of these reserves, for the fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a reduction to net sales for
estimated future returns and recall remedies (i.e., estimated gift
card elections) of $38.4 million; recorded costs in cost of goods
sold of $58.6 million primarily related to the inventory write-off
and estimated costs of future product replacement remedies and
logistics costs; and recorded $31.9 million associated with
estimated other recall-related costs in SG&A expenses.
In March 2023, we initiated voluntary recalls of the affected
products. During the second quarter of 2023, we began processing
recall returns and claims, and based on such experience and trends,
we reevaluated our assumptions and adjusted our estimated recall
expense reserve. These trends included higher than anticipated
elections to receive gift cards in lieu of product replacement
remedies, variations in individual product participation rates, and
lower logistics costs than previously estimated. As a result, we
updated our initial recall reserve assumptions, which increased the
estimated recall expense reserve by $8.5 million in the second
quarter of 2023. However, the overall consumer recall participation
rate remained consistent with our expectations.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we experienced lower than
anticipated consumer recall participation rates and a further shift
to gift card elections in lieu of product replacement remedies.
Based on such experience and trends, we again reevaluated our
assumptions, which decreased the estimated recall expense reserve
by $4.9 million.
The reserve for the estimated product recall expenses was $13.1
million and $94.8 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31,
2022, respectively.
We recorded the following impacts as a result of the recall
reserve adjustments and the initial recognition of the recall
reserve for the periods presented below. These impacts are excluded
from our non-GAAP results:

(1)
Net sales - For the three months ended
December 30, 2023, reflects the impact of a favorable recall
reserve adjustment primarily related to lower estimated consumer
recall participation rates. For the twelve months ended December
30, 2023, primarily reflects the impact of an unfavorable recall
reserve adjustment mainly related to higher estimated future recall
gift card elections. For the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2022, reflects a reduction to net sales for estimated future
product returns and recall remedies in connection with the
recognition of the product recall reserves. These amounts were
allocated based on the historical channel sell-in basis of the
affected products.
(2)
Cost of goods sold - For the three and
twelve months ended December 30, 2023, reflects the impact of a
favorable recall reserve adjustment primarily related to lower
estimated costs of future product replacement remedy elections and
logistics costs and lower recall-related costs. For the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2022, reflects an increase to cost
of goods sold primarily related to inventory write-offs for
unsalable inventory on-hand, and estimated costs of future product
replacement remedies, and logistics costs in connection with the
recognition of the product recall reserves.
(3)
SG&A expenses - For the three months
and twelve months ended December 30, 2023, reflects the impact of
favorable recall reserve adjustments primarily related to lower
estimated other recall-related costs. For the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2022, reflects an increase to SG&A
expenses associated with estimated other recall-related costs in
connection with the recognition of the product recall reserves.
In addition, our 2023 financial results were materially
adversely impacted by the stop sale of the affected products
initiated during the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP,
we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures,
including adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted
SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income,
adjusted net income per diluted share as well as adjusted gross
profit and adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income
and adjusted net income as a percentage of adjusted net sales. Our
management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction
with GAAP financial measures to measure our profitability and to
evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding the underlying operating performance of our business and
are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our
financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have
limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of
the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined
in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these
non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP
financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP
financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared
and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to
review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to
their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP
measures can be found below.
YETI does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking
non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures because such reconciliations
are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the
inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty
certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation,
including in particular the impact of the voluntary recalls and
realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses reported
within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to
forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions
needed in order to provide a forward-looking GAAP financial
measures at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions
may be material and, therefore, could result in forward-looking
GAAP financial measures being materially different or less than
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. See “Forward-looking
statements” below.

associated with recalls. For the three months ended December 30,
2023, these include an increase in net sales primarily related to

our wholesale and DTC channels, respectively. For the twelve months
ended December 30, 2023, these include a $21.7 million impact of an

channels, respectively. For the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2022, these include a reduction to net sales for
estimated future product returns and recall remedies of $38.4
