      • Returned to Topline Growth with Total Sales Up 1.9% and Comparable Sales Up 2.6%
      • Achieved Gross Margin Expansion of 50 Basis Points Year-over-Year
      • Loss of $0.13 per Share and Non-GAAP Loss of $0.05 per Share

      • Reaffirms Full-Year 2024 Non-GAAP EPS Outlook
      • Further Streamlining International Operations and Optimizing Corporate Office Footprint

      NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended August 3, 2024.

      Mary Dillon, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The Lace Up Plan is working, as evidenced by our return to positive total and comparable sales growth as well as gross margin expansion in the second quarter.  Our top line trends strengthened as we moved through the quarter, including a solid start to Back-to-School.  We were also particularly pleased to deliver stabilization in our Champs Sports banner.  As planned, we relaunched our enhanced FLX Rewards Program in the United States during the quarter and have been encouraged by initial results.  Our strategies are building momentum as we look to the remainder of the year, and we are reaffirming our full-year Non-GAAP EPS outlook."

      Ms. Dillon continued, "Through our Lace Up Plan, we are unlocking meaningful opportunities for our business as we are leveraging our strong brand partnerships, differentiating our in-store experiences through refreshes and new concept doors, and enhancing our customer connections via digital and loyalty. We are also continuing to simplify our business to enable greater focus on our core banners and markets and have taken steps to further streamline our operations in Asia and Europe, while expanding our licensing partnerships. In addition, to better support our strategic progress, to increase team member collaboration, as well as ongoing expense discipline, we made the decision to relocate our headquarters to St. Petersburg, Florida in 2025.  I remain confident that we are taking the right actions to position the Company for its next 50 years of profitable growth and create long-term shareholder value."

      Second Quarter Results

      • Total sales increased by 1.9%, to $1,896 million, as compared with sales of $1,861 million in the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, total sales for the second quarter increased by 2.5%. A non-recurring charge associated with the rollout of the Company's enhanced FLX Rewards Program in the United States reduced sales by $11 million.

      • Comparable sales increased by 2.6%, led by global Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker comparable sales growth of 5.2%.

        Please refer to the Sales by Banner table below for detailed sales performance by banner and region.

      • Gross margin increased 50 basis points as compared with the prior-year period, including a 40-basis point drag from the non-recurring FLX Rewards Program charge in the second quarter. Excluding the non-recurring FLX Rewards Program impact, gross margin improved by 90 basis points as compared with the second quarter of 2023, which was led by reduced markdown levels in addition to occupancy leverage.

      • SG&A as a percentage of sales increased by 130 basis points as compared with the prior-year period, driven by technology investments, brand-building expenses, as well as higher inflation, partially offset by savings from the cost optimization program and ongoing expense discipline.

      • Second quarter net loss was $12 million, as compared with a net loss of $5 million in the corresponding prior-year period. On a Non-GAAP basis, net loss was $4 million, as compared with net income of $4 million in the corresponding prior-year period.

      • Second quarter loss per share was $0.13, as compared with a net loss of $0.05 per share in the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP earnings decreased to a loss of $0.05 per share in the second quarter, as compared with Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.04 in the corresponding prior-year period. Both GAAP and non-GAAP second quarter earnings per share included a $0.09 per share negative impact from the non-recurring FLX charge in the quarter.

        See the tables below for the reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures.

      Balance Sheet

      At quarter-end, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $291 million, while total debt was $445 million.

      As of August 3, 2024, the Company's merchandise inventories were $1.6 billion, 10.0% lower than at the end of the second quarter last year.  Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, merchandise inventories decreased by 9.2% as compared with the second quarter of last year.

      Store Base Update

      During the second quarter, the Company opened 5 new stores and closed 31 stores. Also during the quarter, the Company remodeled or relocated 14 stores and refreshed 67 stores to our current design standards, which incorporate key elements of our current brand design specifications.

      As of August 3, 2024, the Company operated 2,464 stores in 26 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition, 213 licensed stores were operating in the Middle East and Asia.

      International Operations Updates
      As part of its Lace Up Plan and ongoing efforts to simplify its business model and focus on core banners and regions, the Company is taking the following actions in Asia Pacific and Europe:

      • Closing its stores and ecommerce operations in South Korea;
      • Closing its stores and ecommerce operations in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden; and
      • Signed agreements with Fourlis Holdings Société Anonyme (Fourlis Group), a leading retail group and licensing operator in Southeast Europe, to transfer store and ecommerce operations in Greece and store operations in Romania.

      Combined, these actions will result in the closure or transfer of operations for approximately 30 stores of the Company's 140 stores in Asia Pacific and 629 stores in Europe.  These changes are expected to be completed by mid-2025.  

      The Company has also entered into agreements with Fourlis Group for future store and ecommerce expansion in South East Europe.  In combination with future expansion opportunities in Greece and Romania, the Company and Fourlis Group see an opportunity for over 100 stores in the region over the next several years.

      Headquarters Relocation and Opening of Global Technology Services (GTS) Hub
      To further support strategic progress against the Lace Up Plan, Foot Locker, Inc. is also announcing that it will move its global headquarters to St. Petersburg, Florida in late 2025.  As such, the Company plans to maintain only a limited presence in New York City going forward.  The intent of the relocation is to further build on the Company's meaningful presence in St. Petersburg and to enable increased collaboration among teams across banners and functions, while also reducing costs.  

      Separately, in September, Foot Locker will celebrate the opening of its Global Technology Services (GTS) Hub in Dallas, Texas. Led by Chief Technology Officer Adrian Butler, this new technology and innovation center will accelerate technology delivery and cross-functional collaboration with access to a best-in-class technology talent pool.

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures that will be presented will exclude (i) gains or losses related to our minority investments, (ii) impairments and other, and (iii) certain tax matters that we believe are nonrecurring or unusual in nature.

      Certain financial measures are identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements.

      These non-GAAP measures are presented because we believe they assist investors in allowing a more direct comparison of our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives and are consistent with how executive compensation is determined.

      We estimate the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a marginal tax rate to each item. The income tax items represent the discrete amount that affected the period. The non-GAAP financial information is provided in addition, and not as an alternative, to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The various non-GAAP adjustments are summarized in the tables below.

      Notes on Non-GAAP Adjustments:



      (1)

      For the second quarter of 2024, impairment and other included a $9 million impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets primarily related to the Company's decision to exit underperforming operations in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The Company will be closing all stores operating in those regions as we focus on improving the overall results of our international operations. For year-to-date 2024, impairment and other also included a loss accrual for legal claims of $7 million and a $7 million impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets related to the Company's decision to no longer operate, and to sublease, one of its larger unprofitable stores in Europe.

       

      For the second quarter of 2023, impairment and other included transformation consulting expense of $7 million, impairment charges of $3 million, primarily accelerated tenancy charges on right-of-use assets for the closures of the Sidestep banner and certain Foot Locker Asia stores, $3 million of reorganization costs, primarily related to the closures of the Sidestep banner and certain Foot Locker Asia stores, and $1 million in other charges. For year-to-date 2023, impairment and other included transformation consulting expense of $26 million, impairment charges of $21 million, primarily accelerated tenancy charges on right-of-use assets for the closures of the Sidestep banner and certain Foot Locker Asia stores, $5 million of reorganizations costs, primarily related to the announced closure of a North American distribution center and the closures of the Sidestep banner and certain Foot Locker Asia stores, and $1 million in other charges.



      (2)

      For year-to-date 2024, the adjustments to other income / expense consisted of $2 million of our share of losses related to equity method investments.

       

      For the second quarter of 2023, the adjustments of other income / expense consisted of a $2 million gain from the sale of our Singapore and Malaysian Foot Locker businesses to our license partner, which was partially offset by our share of losses related to equity method investments of $1 million for year-to-date 2023.



      (3)

      In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $4 million benefit related to income tax reserves due to a statute of limitations release.
