YETI Holdings, Inc. (“YETI”) (NYSE: YETI) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 1, 2022. The 13-week fourth quarter and 52-week fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 are compared to the 14-week fourth quarter and 53-week fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.

YETI reports its financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and as adjusted on a non-GAAP basis.

Matt Reintjes, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2021 was an incredible year for YETI, achieving several milestones during our fourth year as a public company. Today we are reporting nearly 30% net sales growth, adjusted operating margin expansion to approximately 21%, and balance sheet strength with over $300 million of cash on hand. We drove demand across our omni-channel with 35% growth in our DTC business, delivered strong performance in both our product categories of drinkware and coolers and equipment, and approached a 10% international sales mix. This performance was capped by fourth quarter net sales growth of 18%, exceeding the high-end of our outlook despite the many supply chain challenges facing the entire industry. Looking forward, as we continue to maneuver through the varied supply chain disruptions and pressures, I remain incredibly confident in the demand for the YETI brand.”

For the Twelve Months Ended January 1, 2022 (52 Weeks)
Net sales increased 29% to $1,411.0 million, compared to $1,091.7 million in the prior year.
*DTC channel net sales increased 35% to $784.7 million, compared to $580.9 million in the prior year period, driven by both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment. The DTC channel grew to 56% of net sales, compared to 53% in the prior year.
*Wholesale channel net sales increased 23% to $626.3 million, compared to $510.9 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment.
*Drinkware net sales increased 32% to $832.4 million, compared to $628.6 million in the prior year period, due to the continued expansion of our Drinkware product offerings, including the introduction of new colorways and sizes, and strong demand for customization.
*Coolers & Equipment net sales increased 24% to $551.9 million, compared to $446.6 million in the same period last year. The strong performance was driven by growth in bags, outdoor living products, soft coolers and hard coolers.

Gross profit increased 30% to $816.1 million, or 57.8% of net sales, compared to $628.8 million, or 57.6% of net sales in the prior year. Improvements in gross margin of 210 basis points were primarily driven by lower inventory reserves as well as a favorable mix shift to our DTC channel and product cost improvements, largely offset by 190 basis points of contraction primarily driven by higher inbound freight rates and the unfavorable impact of the non-renewal of the GSP program on import duties.

Privatization is Not the Answer to What Ails the Postal Service

In its Government Reform Plan, the Administration made the case for privatizing the Postal Service, and preparing for an eventual change through recommendations coming in August from the President's Task Force on the Postal System. The business community – mailers and suppliers in the paper, printing and technology industries collectively generating $1.4 trillion in sales annually and supporting 7.5 million jobs – strongly believes privatization is not the answer for a postal system in financial distress. "Our troubled postal system can be fixed in a two-step process that does not resort to a draconian solution unproven at the gigantic scale of the U.S. Postal Service," said Art Sackler, Manager of the Coalition for a 21st Century Postal System (C21), which broadly represents the industry. Those two steps would be removing $tens of billions in liabilities to prefund retiree health care imposed on the Postal Service in the short-term, and considering whether and what business model or other changes would have to be made to sustain USPS in the long-term. "The mere prospect of privatization will sow confusion, uncertainty and concern about maintaining mail and package delivery around the country, and stimulating still more volume and revenue loss when the major problem has been a drop off in mail," Sackler added.
