TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb 4, 2021–
Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (“Canada Goose” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GOOS, TSX:GOOS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended December 27, 2020.
“The global strength of our brand and digital business has returned Canada Goose to growth in our biggest quarter. Through HUMANATURE, we are also rapidly advancing our sustainability and purpose-based commitments,” said Dani Reiss, President & CEO. “While we remain in an uncertain world, we are very encouraged by our strong momentum as we finish the fiscal year.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Business Highlights (compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2020)
- Global e-Commerce revenue increased by 39.3%.
- DTC revenue in Mainland China increased by 41.7%.
- Total revenue increased for the first time since the onset of the pandemic.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results (compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2020)
- Total revenue was $474.0m from $452.1m.
- DTC revenue was $299.4m from $301.8m driven by e-Commerce growth and continued store expansion in Mainland China, offset by lower retail revenue due to COVID-19 disruptions globally.
- Wholesale revenue was $160.8m from $145.3m. The increase was a result of the later timing of shipments as requested from partners and international distributors relative to the comparative quarter.
- Other revenue was $13.8m from $5.0m. The increase was driven by PPE sales in support of COVID-19 response efforts.
- Gross profit was $316.4m, a gross margin of 66.8%, compared to $298.4m and 66.0%. The increase in gross profit was attributable to revenue growth and $4.8m of government subsidies. The increase in gross margin was a result of higher DTC and Wholesale gross margins, partially offset by a lower Other gross margin.
- DTC gross margin of 77.9%, compared to 75.1%. The increase was attributable to higher pricing and favourable geographic mix (+210 bps). Gross margin was also positively impacted by $1.6m (+50 bps) of government subsidies.
- Wholesale gross margin of 51.5%, compared to 48.5%. The increase was attributable to the net impact of higher pricing and the positive impact of volume (+180 bps) driven by parkas, partially offset by the unfavourable impact of a higher proportion of distributor sales (-80 bps). Gross margin was also positively impacted by $3.1m (+200 bps) of government subsidies.
- Other segment gross profit was $0.3m from $1.3m. PPE gross loss and gross margin were $(0.7)m and (6.5)%.
- Operating income was $153.3m, an operating margin of 32.3%, compared to $161.4m and an operating margin of 35.7%.
- DTC operating margin of 55.0%, compared to 56.0%. The decrease was due to lower retail profitability from COVID-19 disruptions. This was partially offset by a higher gross margin and the positive impact of e-Commerce growth.
- Wholesale operating margin of 42.9%, compared to 38.0%. The increase was attributable to a higher gross margin and cost reduction initiatives, supplemented by $3.1m of government subsidies.
- Other operating loss was $(80.4)m from $(62.7)m. The increase was attributable to higher operating costs including an $8.4m increase in marketing costs, and $3.3m of product development costs. In addition, there were $7.1m of unfavourable foreign exchange losses partially offset by $1.3m of government subsidies.
- Net income was $107.0m, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $118.0m, or $1.07 per diluted share.
- Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT was $157.9m, an adjusted EBIT margin of 33.3%, compared to $163.8m and 36.2%.
- Non-IFRS adjusted net income was $111.9m, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $119.7m, or $1.08 per diluted share.
- Cash was $469.0m as at quarter end, compared to $72.0m, alongside $256.2m of available borrowing capacity in the undrawn revolving facility. The increase in cash was driven by positive free operating cash flow and refinancing proceeds.
Outlook
Given ongoing COVID-19 disruptions and uncertainties, the Company is not providing an outlook for fiscal 2021. As of the date of this release, 7 of 28 Canada Goose retail stores, representing 25% of the network, are closed.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share. These financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making, as well as providing key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. These financial measures are not defined under IFRS nor do they replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measure can be found in our MD&A. Such reconciliations can also be found in this press release under “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures
The tables below reconcile net income to EBIT, adjusted EBIT, and adjusted net income for the periods indicated. Adjusted EBIT margin is equal to adjusted EBIT for the period presented as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

| (b) | Unrealized gains and losses on the translation of the Term Loan Facility from USD to CAD, net of the effect of derivative transactions entered into to hedge a portion of the exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. |
| (c) | Costs incurred for the transition of logistics, warehousing, and freight forwarding agencies to enhance our global distribution structure. |
| (d) | Total government subsidies globally of $6.4m and $27.1m were recognized in the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. These subsidies were recorded as a reduction to the associated wage costs which the Company incurred; as a result government subsidies were recorded as a reduction to excess overhead costs from temporary closure of manufacturing facilities ($nil and $1.3m), temporary store closure costs (less than $0.1m and $1.4m), and restructuring expense ($nil and $0.4m), for the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. The benefit of $6.4m and $26.7m of government subsidies therefore remained in adjusted EBIT as a reduction to the associated wage costs for the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. |
| (e) | Costs incurred during pre-opening periods for new retail stores, including depreciation on right-of-use assets. |
| (f) | Release of a non-cash sales contract provision as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in the respective jurisdiction in the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020. |
| (g) | Includes $0.1m and $1.4m of interest expense on lease liabilities for temporary store closures in the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. |
| (h) | Pre-store opening costs incurred in (e) above plus $0.1m and $0.6m of interest expense on lease liabilities for new retail stores during pre-opening periods in the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 (third and three quarters ended December 29, 2019 – $0.4m and $0.9m, respectively). |
| (i) | The non-cash unamortized costs accelerated in connection with the amendments to the Term Loan Facility on October 7, 2020 and May 10, 2019. |
