Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook
The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations as of July 25, 2024 and are subject to significant risks and business uncertainties, including those factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Additional disclosures and financial outlook details can be found in the Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook section below and the CFO Commentary and Financial Review presentation.
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 second quarter 2024 financial results for the period ended June 30, 2024.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Tim Boyle commented, “Second quarter results were generally in line with expectations. We are working to maximize sales in a challenging U.S. marketplace. Most international markets, including China and Europe-direct, continue to see strong demand. We have made meaningful progress on our top priorities, including inventory reduction, rationalizing expenses through our Profit Improvement Program, and developing actionable strategies to reinvigorate long-term profitable growth. We are reiterating our net sales and diluted earnings per share outlook and remain on track to generate over $350 million in operating cash flow.
“Our Fall ‘24 order book supports sequential improvement in wholesale sales, with the potential for overall sales to return to growth by the fourth quarter. I’m thrilled with our line-up of innovations for this Fall, including Omni-Heat Infinity, Omni-Max footwear and our newest innovation, Omni-Heat Arctic. As we look toward 2025, I am pleased to report that early indications from our Spring ’25 wholesale orderbook suggest a return to wholesale growth in the first half.
“Our fortress balance sheet remains a strategic advantage, with over $710 million in cash and short-term investments, and no debt, at quarter end. I’m confident our team and our strategies position us to re-accelerate growth and capture market share over time. We are committed to investing in our strategic priorities to:
CFO's Commentary and Financial Review Presentation Available Online
For a detailed review of the Company's second quarter 2024 financial results, please refer to the CFO Commentary and Financial Review presentation furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on a Current Report on Form 8-K and published on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://investor.columbia.com/financial-results at approximately 4:15 p.m. ET today. Analysts and investors are encouraged to review this commentary prior to participating in our conference call.
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results (All comparisons are between second quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, unless otherwise noted.)
Net sales decreased 8 percent (7 percent constant-currency) to $570.2 million from $620.9 million for the comparable period in 2023. The decline in net sales primarily reflects lower wholesale net sales in the United States ("U.S.") due to retailer cautiousness, a difficult competitive environment, and generally soft consumer demand.
Gross margin contracted 270 basis points to 47.9 percent of net sales from 50.6 percent of net sales for the comparable period in 2023. Gross margin contraction primarily reflects the impact of efforts to spur demand and reduce inventory in the U.S., as well as changes in sales provisions, partially offset by lower inbound freight costs.
SG&A expenses were $302.7 million, or 53.1 percent of net sales, compared to $312.5 million, or 50.3 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2023. The largest changes in SG&A expenses primarily reflect lower supply chain and variable demand creation expenses, partially offset by higher direct-to-consumer ("DTC") expenses.
Loss from operations was $23.8 million, or (4.2) percent of net sales, compared to operating income of $6.2 million, or 1.0 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2023.
Interest income, net of $8.3 million, compared to $3.5 million for the comparable period in 2023, reflects higher yields on increased levels of cash, cash equivalents, and investments.
Income tax benefit of $3.2 million resulted in an effective income tax rate of 21.6 percent, compared to income tax expense of $1.2 million, or an effective income tax rate of 12.6 percent, for the comparable period in 2023.
Net loss of $11.8 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2023.
First Half 2024 Financial Results (All comparisons are between the first six months 2024 and the first six months 2023, unless otherwise noted.)
Net sales decreased 7 percent (6 percent constant-currency) to $1,340.2 million from $1,441.5 million for the comparable period in 2023.
Gross margin of 49.5% percent of net sales was flat compared to the comparable period in 2023.
SG&A expenses were $652.0 million, or 48.6 percent of net sales, compared to $659.9 million, or 45.8 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2023.
Operating income decreased 67 percent to $20.9 million, or 1.6 percent of net sales, compared to operating income of $62.7 million, or 4.3 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2023.
Interest income, net was $17.5 million, compared to $6.7 million for the comparable period in 2023.
Income tax expense of $8.6 million resulted in an effective income tax rate of 22.0 percent, compared to income tax expense of $15.5 million, or an effective income tax rate of 22.2 percent, for the comparable period in 2023.
Net income decreased 44 percent to $30.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to net income of $54.6 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2023.
Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $711.1 million, compared to $302.8 million as of June 30, 2023.
The Company had no borrowings as of either June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.
Inventories decreased 29 percent to $823.6 million, compared to $1,162.5 million as of June 30, 2023.
Cash Flow for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities was $108.9 million, compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2023.
Capital expenditures totaled $27.8 million, compared to $22.8 million for the same period in 2023.
Share Repurchases for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
The Company repurchased 1,414,437 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $110.7 million, or an average price per share of $78.29.
At June 30, 2024, $234.6 million remained available under our stock repurchase authorization, which does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or to acquire shares over any specified period of time.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share, payable on August 29, 2024 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2024.
Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook (Additional financial outlook details can be found in the CFO Commentary and Financial Review presentation.)
The Company's full year 2024 and third quarter 2024 Financial Outlook are each forward-looking in nature, and the following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations as of July 25, 2024 and are subject to significant risks and business uncertainties, including those factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below. These risks and uncertainties limit our ability to accurately forecast results.

SG&A expenses, as a percent of net sales, are expected to be 42.4 to 43.0 percent (prior 43.0 to 43.4 percent), compared to SG&A expense as a percent of net sales of 40.6 percent in 2023.
Operating income is expected to be $256 to $288 million (prior $259 to $291 million), resulting in operating margin of 7.7 to 8.4 percent (prior 7.7 to 8.5 percent), compared to operating margin of 8.9 percent in 2023.
Interest income, net is expected to be approximately $28 million.
Effective income tax rate is expected to be 24.0 to 25.0 percent (unchanged).

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.
