Columbia Sportswear Company (NASDAQ: COLM, the "Company"), a multi-brand global leading innovator in outdoor, active and lifestyle products including apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment, today announced fourth quarter 2024 financial results for the period ended December 31, 2024.

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Tim Boyle commented, “I’m encouraged that sales returned to growth in the fourth quarter, and we expect continued growth in 2025, across most brands and regions. During the year we made substantial progress on our inventory reduction efforts, achieved cost savings through our Profit Improvement Program, and returned meaningful cash to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends. We also laid the foundation for Columbia’s ACCELERATE Growth Strategy, which will come to life in the seasons ahead.

“While we have made substantial progress slowing our rate of SG&A expense growth, we are continuing to pursue cost savings and enhanced profitability.

“Our balance sheet remains strong, with cash and short-term investments of approximately $815 million and no bank borrowings exiting the quarter. I am confident we have the right strategies in place to drive sustainable, profitable long-term growth and we are committed to investing in our strategic priorities to:

• accelerate profitable growth;
• create iconic products that are differentiated, functional and innovative;
• drive brand engagement through increased, focused demand creation investments;
• enhance consumer experiences by investing in capabilities to delight and retain consumers;
• amplify marketplace excellence, with digitally-led, omni-channel, global distribution; and
• empower talent that is driven by our core values, through a diverse and inclusive workforce."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

(All comparisons are between fourth quarter 2024 and fourth quarter 2023, unless otherwise noted.)

Net sales increased 3 percent (3 percent constant-currency) to $1,096.6 million from $1,060.0 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase was led by the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Latin America, Asia Pacific ("LAAP") regions, partially offset by the United States ("U.S."). Canada was flat year-over-year.

Gross margin expanded 50 basis points to 51.1 percent of net sales from 50.6 percent of net sales for the comparable period in 2023. Gross margin expansion primarily reflects lower inventory clearance activity, partially offset by unfavorable FX hedging rates.

SG&A expenses were $430.6 million, or 39.3 percent of net sales, compared to $404.8 million, or 38.2 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2023. The largest changes in SG&A expenses were higher incentive compensation and direct-to-consumer ("DTC") expenses, partially offset by lower supply chain expenses.

There was no impairment of goodwill in fourth quarter 2024, compared to a $25.0 million charge related to prAna for the comparable period in 2023, which negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.31.

Operating income increased 21 percent to $137.3 million, or 12.5 percent of net sales, compared to operating income of $113.1 million, or 10.7 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2023.

Interest income, net of $4.8 million, compared to $5.0 million for the comparable period in 2023.

Income tax expense of $37.3 million resulted in an effective income tax rate of 26.7 percent, compared to income tax expense of $26.6 million, or an effective income tax rate of 22.2 percent, for the comparable period in 2023. Fourth quarter 2024 income tax expense includes a $6.4 million discrete tax valuation allowance expense, which negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.11.

Net income increased 10 percent to $102.6 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, compared to net income of $93.3 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2023.

Supplemental Financial Information

Since Columbia Sportswear Company is a global company, the comparability of its operating results reported in United States dollars is affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying currencies in which it transacts change in value over time compared to the United States dollar. To supplement financial information reported in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses constant-currency net sales information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to provide a framework to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of changes in the exchange rates used to translate net sales generated in foreign currencies into United States dollars. The Company calculates constant-currency net sales by translating net sales in foreign currencies for the current period into United States dollars at the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparable period of the prior year. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional and useful way of viewing an aspect of our operations that, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results, provides a more comprehensive understanding of our business and operations. In particular, investors may find the non-GAAP financial measure useful by reviewing our net sales results without the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management's internal comparisons to our historical net sales results and comparisons to competitors' net sales results.

The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. See the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table included herein. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
