YETI Reports First Quarter 2021 Results
Net Sales Increased 42%
Gross Margin Expanded 560 Basis Points
EPS Increased to $0.35 from $0.10
Adjusted EPS Increased to $0.38 from $0.11
Raises 2021 Outlook
Austin, Texas, May 13, 2021 – YETI Holdings, Inc. (“YETI”) (NYSE: YETI) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2021.
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. 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.
Matt Reintjes, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “YETI had an exceptional start to the year with first quarter net sales growth of 42% fueled by continued strong demand for the brand throughout the period. Significant gross margin expansion powered nearly a 700-basis point improvement in operating margin for the period, contributing to a more than three-fold increase in earnings per share.”
Mr. Reintjes added, “Building upon the outstanding financial performance in the first quarter, we are focused on investments that will accelerate our future growth through global product and channel expansion, innovative marketing, and growing digital capabilities including enhanced data analytics. We believe that these efforts will not only foster a deep connection between our brand and consumers both digitally and, as the world reopens more fully, in a direct, personal way but will also support our plans for long-term, sustainable growth.”
Mr. Reintjes concluded, “After the strong start to 2021, we are raising both our full year net sales and earnings per share outlooks to 20% and 22% growth, respectively, versus the prior year. The YETI momentum carried over from 2020 and on display to start 2021 showcases the passion for the brand and the relevance of our product portfolio as consumers continue to participate in the significant growth in active, outdoor lifestyles. We believe we are well-positioned to generate and build upon this customer enthusiasm for the brand now and into the future.”
For the Three Months Ended April 3, 2021
Net sales increased 42% to $247.6 million, compared to $174.4 million during the same period last year.
•Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel net sales increased 59% to $126.8 million, compared to $79.6 million in the prior year quarter, driven by strong performance in both Coolers & Equipment and Drinkware. The DTC channel grew to 51% of net sales, compared to 46% in the prior year period.
•Wholesale channel net sales increased 27% to $120.8 million, compared to $94.8 million in the same period last year, driven by both Coolers & Equipment and Drinkware.
•Drinkware net sales increased 32% to $148.9 million, compared to $112.6 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the continued expansion of our Drinkware product offerings, including the introduction of new colorways and sizes, and strong demand for customization.
•Coolers & Equipment net sales increased 57% to $93.5 million, compared to $59.5 million in the same period last year, driven by strong performance in hard coolers, soft coolers, outdoor living products, bags, and cargo.

Gross profit increased 57% to $145.2 million, or 58.6% of net sales, compared to $92.5 million, or 53.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2020. The 560 basis point increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a favorable mix shift to our DTC channel, product cost improvements, lower inbound freight and decreased tariffs.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 38% to $105.1 million, compared to $76.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased 130 basis points to 42.5% from 43.7% in the prior year period. This decrease included a 280 basis points of benefit from non-variable expense leverage on higher net sales. Variable expenses added 150 basis points, driven by the increased mix of our faster growing and higher gross margin DTC channel, which grew to 51% of net sales during the period.
Operating income increased 148% to $40.0 million, or 16.2% of net sales, compared to $16.2 million, or 9.3% of net sales, during the prior year quarter.
Adjusted operating income increased 143% to $43.8 million, or 17.7% of net sales, compared to $18.0 million, or 10.3% of net sales, during the same period last year.
Net income increased to $30.5 million, or 12.3% of net sales, compared to $8.5 million, or 4.9% of net sales, in the prior year quarter; Net income per diluted share increased to $0.35, compared to $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted net income increased to $33.3 million, or 13.5% of net sales, compared to $9.9 million, or 5.7% of net sales, in the prior year quarter; Adjusted net income per diluted share increased to $0.38, compared to $0.11 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
Cash increased to $190.3 million, compared to $118.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020.
Inventory decreased 9% to $183.9 million, compared to $202.4 million at the end of the prior year quarter. As YETI continues to rebuild inventory levels, YETI expects positive year-over-year inventory growth beginning in the second quarter and for the remainder of 2021.
Total debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized deferred financing fees, was $129.4 million, compared to $346.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, YETI made mandatory debt payments of $5.6 million. At the end of the first quarter of 2021, our cash balance exceeded total debt by $60.9 million.

For Fiscal 2021, a 52-week period, compared to a 53-week period in Fiscal 2020, YETI expects:
•Net sales are now expected to increase between 20% and 22% (versus the previous outlook of between 15% and 17%) with sales growth weighted to the first half of the year;

2

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 operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share as well as adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as a percentage of 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 measures are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and to facilitate comparisons to other companies. 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.

All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that are expected and, therefore, you should not unduly rely on such statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: (i) uncertainty regarding global economic conditions, particularly the uncertainty related to the duration and impact of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on global economic conditions; (ii) our ability to maintain and strengthen our brand and generate and maintain ongoing demand for our products; (iii) our ability to successfully design, develop and market new products; (iv) our ability to effectively manage our growth; (v) our ability to expand into additional consumer markets, and our success in doing so; (vi) the success of our international expansion plans; (vii) our ability to compete effectively in the outdoor and recreation market and protect our brand; (viii) the level of customer spending for our products, which is sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors; (ix) problems with, or loss of, our third-party contract manufacturers and suppliers, or an inability to obtain raw materials; (x) fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, equipment, labor, and transportation and subsequent manufacturing delays or increased costs; (xi) our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products and our results of operations; (xii) our relationships with our national, regional, and independent retail partners, who account for a significant portion of our sales; (xiii) the impact of natural disasters and failures of our information technology on our operations and the operations of our manufacturing partners; (xiv) our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel and senior management, and to maintain the continued efforts of our management and key employees; and (xv) the impact of our indebtedness on our ability to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon detailed assumptions and reflect management’s current expectations and beliefs. While YETI believes that these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, YETI cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for YETI to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.
The forward-looking statements included here are made only as of the date hereof. YETI undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
