a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. (NYSE: AKA), a brand accelerator of direct-to-consumer (DTC) fashion brands for the next-generation, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Results for the Third Quarter

  • Net sales increased 155.4% to $161.8 million, compared to $63.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 or 44%1 pro-forma adjusting for the acquisition of Culture Kings, which contributed $62.8 million to net sales during the quarter.
  • Net loss attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. was $(9.9) million) or $(0.11) per share in the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. of $7.1 million or $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Net income attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp., as adjusted1 was $3.5 million, or $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $7.1 million or $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 was $18.5 million, or 11.5% of net sales, compared to $12.9 million, or 20.4% of net sales in the third quarter of 2020.

“We are very pleased to have delivered strong results for our first quarter as a public company, fueled by growth across our diversified portfolio of brands,” said Jill Ramsey, chief executive officer, a.k.a. Brands. “Net sales grew 155% for the third quarter, or 44%1 on a pro forma basis for Culture Kings, reflecting the power of our next-generation retail platform. During the quarter our brands generated growth across all regions, especially in the U.S. where net sales increased 84%1 on a pro-forma basis. We also saw solid growth in Australia, despite the COVID-19 related lockdowns. Looking ahead, we will continue to accelerate the global growth of our brands by increasing customer awareness and leveraging our unique business model to drive long term profitability and value.”

Recent Business Highlights

  • Delivered growth across all brands and regions led by Princess Polly acceleration in the U.S.
  • Continued momentum in Culture Kings’ digital business in Australia and the U.S; expanded market presence through new store opening in New Zealand.
  • Advanced Petal and Pup with new brand president and U.S. based fulfillment in the third quarter.
  • Leveraged agile business model to mitigate impact of global supply chain disruptions; inventory is well positioned for the fourth quarter.
  • Acquired mnml, a premier high growth DTC men’s streetwear fashion brand, on October 14, 2021.

Third Quarter Financial Details

  • Net sales increased 155.4% to $161.8 million, compared to $63.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 or 44%1 pro-forma adjusting for the acquisition of Culture Kings, which contributed $62.8 million to net sales during the quarter. The increase was driven by a 128% increase in the number of orders processed and 13% growth in the average order value during the quarter. The increase in the number of orders was primarily driven by growth of Princess Polly in the U.S. and the inclusion of Culture Kings.
  • Gross margin was 53.2% in the third quarter of 2021, versus 60.8% in the same period last year. The 760 basis point decline in gross margin rate was the result of an approximately $6 million, or 370 basis point, non-cash, purchase accounting charge associated with the Culture Kings acquisition. The balance of the decline was roughly split between higher air freight expense and the inclusion of Culture Kings, which carries a lower gross margin rate as compared to the Company’s other brands due to a lower mix of exclusive product. The gross margin decline was partially offset by the implementation of targeted price increases in Princess Polly and Petal and Pup.
  • Selling expenses were $40.6 million, compared to $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. Selling expenses were 25.1% of net sales compared to 24.8% of net sales in the third quarter of 2020. The 30 basis point increase as a percent of net sales was driven by an increase in the number of orders shipped and the inclusion of Culture Kings.
  • Marketing expenses were $15.5 million, compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in marketing dollars was driven primarily by the inclusion of Culture Kings, which increased its investment in advertising spend as the brand looked to scale in new geographies and tested new marketing opportunities. Marketing expenses were 9.6% of net sales compared to 7.3% of net sales in the third quarter of 2020.
  • General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $28.9 million, compared to $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. G&A expenses were 17.9% of net sales compared to 11.5% of net sales in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in G&A expenses during the quarter was primarily due to an increase in salaries and related benefits and equity-based compensation expense related to increases in headcount across functions to support business growth, the inclusion of Culture Kings, additional professional service fees and transaction costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 was $18.5 million, or 11.5% of net sales, compared to $12.9 million, or 20.4% of net sales in the third quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

  • Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter totaled $54.4 million compared to $26.3 million at the end of fiscal year 2020.
  • Debt at the end of the third quarter totaled $98.2 million, compared to $6.4 million at the end of fiscal year 2020. As part of proceeds raised from its IPO, the Company reduced its debt levels by approximately $69.8 million from the $168.0 million of debt borrowed during 2021, prior to the IPO.
  • Cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $20.6 million, compared to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Outlook

For the full year fiscal 2021, the Company expects:

  • Net sales between $550 million and $560 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 of between $60 million and $62 million.
  • Weighted average diluted share count of 93.2 million for the full year and 126 million for the fourth quarter.
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $6 million.

The above outlook is based on several assumptions, including, but not limited to, the global supply chain challenges, and air freight prices remaining stable to slightly increasing sequentially through the remainder of 2021 and Australia fully exiting its lockdown by the middle of the fourth quarter. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating Metrics

In addition to results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance measures such as net income attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp., as adjusted, net income per share, as adjusted, free cash flow, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for purposes of evaluating ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP operating measures, when reviewed collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance. See additional information at the end of this release regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

2 The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA outlook to a GAAP net income outlook because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to project certain reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, future stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, interest expense, and transaction costs. These items are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control or ability to predict.

2 Metrics “across a.k.a. Brands” assume we owned Culture Kings since January 1, 2020.

3 In order to provide a framework for assessing the performance of our underlying business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations, we compare the percent change in the results from one period to another period using a constant currency methodology wherein current and comparative prior period results for our operations reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at constant exchange rates (i.e., the rates in effect on December 31, 2020, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year) rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are key performance measures that management uses to assess our operating performance. Because adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes.

We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business. We expect adjusted EBITDA margin to increase over the long-term as we continue to scale our business and achieve greater leverage in our operating expenses.

We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: interest and other expense; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; transaction costs; and one-time or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules because it excludes certain amounts included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Net Income Attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp., As Adjusted and Net Income Per Share, As Adjusted

Net income attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp., as adjusted and net income per share, as adjusted are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC’s rules because they exclude certain amounts included in net loss attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. and net loss per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that net income attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp., as adjusted and net income per share, as adjusted are meaningful measures to share with investors because they better enable comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period. In addition, net income attributable to a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp., as adjusted and net income per share, as adjusted afford investors a view of what management considers a.k.a.’s core earnings performance and the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance with that of the prior year.

  1. Inventory step-up amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of Culture Kings;
  2. Equity-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards that vested upon IPO; and
  3. Loss on extinguishment of debt.
