      • Total Sales Down 1.4% Year-over-Year and Comparable Sales Up 2.4%
      • Gross Margin Expansion of 230 Basis Points Year-over-Year
      • Loss of $0.34 per Share and Non-GAAP Earnings of $0.33 per Share
      • Inventory Decreased 6.3% Year-over-Year
      • Updating Full-Year Sales and Non-GAAP EPS Outlook

      NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended November 2, 2024.

      Mary Dillon, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our team's continued focus on execution drove positive comparable sales trends and meaningful gross margin expansion in the quarter.  However, our third quarter top- and bottom-line performance fell short of our expectations.  Consumer spending trends softened following the peak Back-to-School period in August, and the promotional environment was more elevated than anticipated.  At the same time, we continued to demonstrate progress with our Lace Up Plan, including further cementing our leadership position at the heart of basketball and sneaker culture. In the quarter, we continued the rollout of our Foot Locker 'Home Court' experience in collaboration with Nike and Jordan Brand, and we also announced a multi-year partnership with the legendary Chicago Bulls franchise."

      Ms. Dillon continued, "While our trends in early November landed below our expectations as consumers held back their spending ahead of the holiday season, we saw a meaningful and positive acceleration over the key Thanksgiving week period, especially in stores.  Despite that strong performance, we are taking a more cautious view and are lowering our full-year sales and earnings outlook due to a more promotional environment and softer consumer demand outside of key selling periods.  We remain focused on unlocking opportunities through our new Reimagined stores and refresh program, revamped digital experience, including the recent launch of our new mobile app, and stronger customer engagement through our enhanced FLX Rewards Program. We are confident that our strategies will drive sustainable shareholder value creation as we progress towards our 8.5-9% EBIT margin target by 2028."

      Third Quarter Results

      • Total sales were down 1.4%, to $1,958 million, as compared with sales of $1,986 million in the third quarter of 2023. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, total sales for the third quarter decreased by 2.2%.

      • Comparable sales increased by 2.4%, including global Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker comparable sales growth of 2.8%. Notably, the Champs Sports and WSS banners saw positive comparable sales growth of 2.8% and 1.8%, respectively.

        Please refer to the Sales by Banner table below for detailed sales performance by banner and region.
      • Gross margin increased by 230 basis points as compared with the prior-year period, which was led by reduced markdown levels. Gross margin trends accelerated from the second quarter of 2024, but performance was below expectations given an elevated promotional environment.

      • SG&A as a percentage of sales increased by 210 basis points as compared with the prior-year period, driven by technology and brand-building investments, partially offset by savings from the cost optimization program and ongoing expense discipline.

      • Third quarter net loss was $33 million, as compared with net income of $28 million in the corresponding prior-year period. On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was $31 million for the third quarter, as compared with net income of $28 million in the corresponding prior-year period.

      • Third quarter loss per share was $0.34, as compared with earnings of $0.30 per share in the third quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP earnings were $0.33 per share in the third quarter, as compared with Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.30 in the corresponding prior-year period.

      • Non-GAAP results exclude, among other items, non-cash impairment charges of $25 million related to the atmos tradename following a strategic review of the atmos business and a charge of $35 million related to impairment to the carrying value of a minority investment, which is regularly assessed whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

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

      Balance Sheet

      At quarter-end, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $211 million, while total debt was $445 million.

      As of November 2, 2024, the Company's merchandise inventories were $1.7 billion, 6.3% lower than at the end of the third quarter last year. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, merchandise inventories decreased by 6.9% as compared with the third quarter of last year.

      Store Base Update

      During the third quarter, the Company opened 10 new stores and closed 24 stores. Also during the quarter, the Company remodeled or relocated 20 stores and refreshed 167 stores to our updated design standards, which incorporate key elements of our current brand design specifications.

      The Company provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking EBIT, non-GAAP tax rate, and diluted earnings per share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.

      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)

      Included in the third quarter of 2024 impairment and other were (i) $25 million of impairment related to the atmos tradename following a strategic review of the atmos business, (ii) $7 million of reorganization costs primarily related to the announced closure and relocation of the Company's global headquarters and (iii) $6 million of impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets accelerated tenancy charges related to the shutdown of our business operating in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The Company will close all stores operating in those regions as it focuses on improving the overall results of its international operations. For the year-to-date period of 2024, the Company recorded an additional $16 million of impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets related to its decision to exit the underperforming operations and the closure and sublease of an unprofitable store in Europe, as well as a $7 million loss accrual for legal claims.   

      For the third quarter of 2023, impairment and other included $7 million of reorganization costs, primarily related to severance and transformation consulting expense of $1 million. Additionally in the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $3 million net benefit from the settlement of lease obligations associated with Sidestep stores, partially offset by impairment on atmos U.S. assets of $1 million. For the year-to-date period of 2023, impairment and other included transformation consulting expense of $27 million, impairment charges of $19 million, primarily accelerated tenancy charges on right-of-use assets for the closures of the Sidestep banner and certain Foot Locker Asia stores, and $12 million of reorganization costs, related to severance and the closure of the Sidestep banner, certain Foot Locker Asia stores, and a North American distribution center.

      (2)

      Included in the third quarter of 2024 other income / expense was a $35 million impairment charge related to a minority investment. The Company evaluates the minority investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable and that impairment is other than temporary. If an indication of impairment occurs, the Company evaluates recoverability of the carrying value based on the fair value of the minority investment. If an impairment is indicated, the Company adjusts the carrying values of the investment downward, if necessary, to their estimated fair values. For the year-to-date period of 2024, the adjustments to other income / expense included$2 million of the Company's share of losses related to equity method investments.

      For the third quarter of 2023, other income / expense consisted of a $3 million gain from the sale of a North American corporate office property and an additional $2 million gain from the 2023 second quarter sale of the Singapore and Malaysian Foot Locker businesses to a license partner. The 2023 year-to-date period also included $1 million of the Company's share of losses related to equity method investments.

      (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.
