    Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL), a global leader in the design, marketing, and distribution of premium lifestyle products, today reported earnings per diluted share of $1.47 on a reported basis and $1.77 on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring-related and other charges, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. This compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.31 on a reported basis and $1.54 on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring-related and other charges, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019.

    “Our Company continues to evolve with the world around us while staying true to our values and creating inspiring style that endures,” said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer. “And more than 50 years in, I am very encouraged by the work we are doing to strengthen the foundations of our business, energize our teams and elevate our iconic brands.”

    “We delivered first quarter results in line with our overall expectations, with better than expected operating margin and double-digit EPS growth,” said Patrice Louvet, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance was driven by strong continued momentum in our international markets and expense discipline across the organization, while we continued to invest in elevating our brands and stabilize our North America business against a more volatile backdrop.”

    We delivered across the following strategic initiatives in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020:

    • Win Over a New Generation of Consumers
      • Increased marketing investment by 19% to last year. Key marketing activities included: our ‘Family is Who You Love’ and Pride campaigns, celebrating our brands’ multi-generational appeal and the diversity of modern families, our spring golf partnerships, and the Earth Day launch of our Earth Polo, made entirely of recycled plastic bottles and a water-less dyeing process
      • Elevated our brand voice with our Limited Edition Polo Sport, Pride capsule, and Polo Golf x Justin Thomas Collection as we kicked off our Summer of Sports program
    • Energize Core Products and Accelerate Under-Developed Categories
      • Average unit retail across our direct-to-consumer network was up 1% in the first quarter, on top of an 8% increase last year, with continued increases in Europe and Asia partly offset by a 1% decline in North America as we moved through Spring inventory
      • We continue to expect low to mid-single digit AUR growth for Fiscal ’20, in-line with our long-term plan, driven by our brand elevation and product mix strategy, particularly in our international regions
      • Under-developed categories continued to outpace overall growth, led by momentum in denim and outerwear
    • Drive Targeted Expansion in Our Regions and Channels
      • Continued momentum in international markets, including constant currency revenue growth of 7% in Europe and 8% in Asia, with nearly 30% revenue growth in Mainland China
      • Delivered 5% constant currency comp growth and expanded our store network in Asia, driven by 25 new owned and partnered doors.
    • Lead With Digital
      • Total digital ecosystem sales increased 1%, with nearly 10% growth in International partly offset by softer performance in North America
      • Strong continued global expansion on digital pure play partners with a focus on winning over a new generation of consumers
    • Operate With Discipline to Fuel Growth
      • Adjusted operating margins expanded 110 basis points in the quarter, driven by disciplined cost management and SG&A leverage
      • Adjusted operating expenses, excluding double-digit growth in marketing investments, declined to last year on improved supply chain efficiencies

    First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Income Statement Review

    Net Revenue. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, revenue increased by 3% to $1.4 billion on a reported basis and was up 5% in constant currency, driven by positive results across regions. Foreign currency negatively impacted revenue growth by approximately 220 basis points in the first quarter.

    Revenue performance for the Company’s reportable segments in the first quarter compared to the prior year period was as follows:

    • North America Revenue. North America revenue in the first quarter increased 3% to $719 million. North America wholesale revenue increased 2%. In retail, comparable store sales in North America were up 1%, driven by a 1% comp in brick and mortar stores and flat comps at ralphlauren.com.
    • Europe Revenue. Europe revenue in the first quarter increased 2% to $361 million on a reported basis and 7% in constant currency. Europe wholesale revenue was flat on a reported basis and grew 5% in constant currency.

    • Asia Revenue. Asia revenue in the first quarter increased 4% to $259 million on a reported basis and increased 8% in constant currency, driven by solid growth in retail. Comparable store sales in Asia increased 5%, reflecting growth in both brick and mortar and digital commerce operations.

    Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $921 million and gross margin was 64.4%. Adjusted gross margin was 10 basis points above the prior year on a reported basis and flat in constant currency.

    Gross margin benefited from favorable product, geographic, and channel mix, partly offset by increased promotional activity to keep inventories current and healthy.

    Operating Expenses. Operating expenses in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 were $778 million on a reported basis, including $31 million in restructuring-related and other charges. On an adjusted basis, excluding such charges, operating expenses were $747 million, up 1% to prior year. Excluding marketing investments, adjusted operating expenses were down slightly to last year.

    Adjusted operating expense rate was 52.3%, 100 basis points below the prior year period, excluding restructuring-related and other charges. This decrease was driven by leverage of fixed expenses on sales growth and cost reduction initiatives, partly offset by planned increases in marketing investments.

    Operating Income. Operating income for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $143 million on a reported basis, including restructuring-related and other charges of $31 million, and operating margin was 10.0%. Adjusted operating income was $175 million and adjusted operating margin was 12.2%, 110 basis points above the prior year, excluding restructuring-related and other charges from both periods.

Adjusted Europe operating margin was 22.0%, up 100 basis points to the prior year period. In constant currency, the adjusted operating margin increased 10 basis points.
    • Asia Operating Income. Asia operating income in the first quarter was $48 million on a reported and $49 million on an adjusted basis. Adjusted Asia operating margin was 18.8%, up 150 basis points to the prior year and 180 basis points higher in constant currency.

    Net Income and EPS. On a reported basis, net income in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $117 million or $1.47 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis, net income was $142 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, excluding restructuring-related and other charges. This compared to net income of $109 million, or $1.31 per diluted share on a reported basis, and net income of $128 million, or $1.54 per diluted share on an adjusted basis, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019.

    In the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company had an effective tax rate of 20.1% on a reported basis and 20.5% on an adjusted basis, excluding restructuring and related other charges. This compared to an effective tax rate of 18% on both a reported and adjusted basis, excluding restructuring and related other charges, in the prior year period.

    Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

    The Company ended the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 with $2.0 billion in cash and short and long term investments and $692 million in total debt, compared to $2.1 billion and $587 million, respectively, at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019.

    Inventory at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $989 million, up 11% compared to the prior year period, including increases in Europe and Asia to support growth initiatives.

    The Company repurchased approximately $150 million of Class A Common Stock during the first quarter. Approximately $1.1 billion remained available under the Company’s authorized share repurchase programs at the end of the first quarter.

    Full Year Fiscal 2020 and Second Quarter Outlook

    The full year Fiscal 2020 and second quarter guidance excludes restructuring-related and other charges, as described in the “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release.

    For Fiscal 2020, the Company continues to expect net revenues to increase 2% to 3%. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact revenue growth by 90 to 100 basis points in Fiscal 2020.

    The Company continues to expect operating margin for Fiscal 2020 to increase 40 to 60 basis points in constant currency. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact operating margin by about 10 to 20 basis points in Fiscal 2020.

    In the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company expects net revenue to be up about 1% in constant currency. Foreign currency is expected to pressure revenue growth by approximately 90 to 100 basis points in the second quarter of Fiscal 2020.

    Operating margin for the second quarter of Fiscal 2020 is expected to be up 40 to 60 basis points in constant currency. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact operating margin by about 20 basis points in the second quarter.

    We continue to expect the full year Fiscal 2020 tax rate to be approximately 22%. Second quarter of Fiscal 2020 tax rate is estimated at approximately 23%.

    The Company continues to plan capital expenditures of approximately $300 million for Fiscal 2020.

    SEGMENT INFORMATION
    Effective beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, operating results related to the Company's business in
    Latin America are included within its Europe segment due to a change in the way in which the Company
    manages this business. Previously, such results were included within the Company's other non-reportable
    segments. All prior period segment information has been recast to reflect this change on a comparative basis.
     
    Net revenues and operating income for the periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 for each segment

    NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    Since Ralph Lauren Corporation is a global company, the comparability of its operating results reported in U.S. 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 U.S. Dollar. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on the Company’s reported results. As such, in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), the Company’s discussions often contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated by translating the current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency. The Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as a supplement to its reported operating results. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how its businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes this information is useful to investors for facilitating comparisons of operating results and better identifying trends in the Company’s businesses. The constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    This earnings release also includes certain other non-U.S. GAAP financial measures relating to the impact of charges and other items as described herein. The Company uses non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and to better represent the manner in which it conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding items that are not comparable from period to period helps investors and others compare operating performance between two periods. While the Company considers non-U.S. GAAP measures useful in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any presentation included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-U.S. GAAP measures reported by other companies.

    Adjustments made during the fiscal periods presented include charges recorded in connection with the Company’s restructuring plans, as well as certain other charges associated with other non-recurring events, as described in the footnotes to the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above. The income tax provision has been adjusted for the tax-related effects of these charges, which were calculated using the respective statutory tax rates for each applicable jurisdiction. Included in this earnings release are reconciliations between the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures before and after these adjustments.

    Additionally, the Company’s full year Fiscal 2020 and second quarter Fiscal 2020 guidance excludes certain anticipated restructuring-related and other charges. The Company is not able to provide a full reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP because certain material items that impact these measures, such as the timing and exact amount of charges related to our restructuring plans, have not yet occurred or are out of the Company’s control. Accordingly, a reconciliation of our non-U.S. GAAP based financial measure guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort. However, the Company has identified the estimated impact of certain items excluded from its financial outlook. Specifically, the Company’s financial outlook excludes estimated pretax charges of approximately $20 million to $45 million related to its Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan.
