-- Fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share grew 36.4% to $0.30

-- Full-year adjusted earnings per share grew 13.3% to $1.62
ROCKFORD, Mich., Feb. 17, 2015 -- Wolverine Worldwide (NYSE: WWW) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2015. Adjusted financial results exclude restructuring, acquisition-related integration and debt extinguishment costs.
"We had a strong close to the year, with nine of our 16 brands generating double-digit revenue growth in the fourth quarter, and our two largest brands, Merrell and Sperry, delivering mid single-digit and high single-digit revenue growth, respectively," commented Blake W. Krueger, Wolverine Worldwide's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. "I am equally pleased with our full-year performance, which was highlighted by our fifth consecutive year of record revenue, as well as record adjusted earnings. We believe the strategic investments we are planning for our brands position us to capitalize on the many opportunities we've identified to accelerate our growth around the world."
FOURTH QUARTER 2014 REVIEW
-Consolidated revenue increased to a record $808.9 million, representing growth of 9.2% versus prior year revenue of $740.8 million, with each of the Company's three brand operating groups contributing to the quarter's revenue growth. On a constant currency basis, revenue grew 10.1%.
-Gross margin was 37.1%, a decrease of 10 basis points versus prior year reported gross margin and a decrease of 110 basis points versus prior year adjusted gross margin. The gross margin decline was driven primarily by a negative mix shift in international markets, the impact of inventory liquidation related to the Company's previously announced Strategic Realignment Plan and incremental LIFO expense.
-Adjusted operating expenses were $247.1 million, an increase of 0.6% versus the prior year, and included a solid double-digit increase in brand marketing investment. As a percentage of revenue, adjusted operating expenses were 30.5%, compared to 33.2% in the prior year. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was driven primarily by the strong revenue growth in the quarter and lower pension expense. Reported operating expenses were $270.5 million, an increase of 5.1% versus the prior year.
-Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 36.4% to $0.30, compared to an adjusted $0.22 per share in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.10, compared to a loss of $0.02 per share in the prior year.
-Operating free cash flow was a record $189.4 million, enabling the Company to reduce interest-bearing debt by $195.7 million, including $175 million of voluntary principal payments, a portion of which were funded by the Company's new accounts receivable financing facility.
FULL YEAR 2014 REVIEW
-Consolidated revenue was a record $2.76 billion, representing growth of 2.6% versus prior year revenue of $2.69 billion. Foreign exchange had a minimal impact on full-year revenue growth. High single-digit growth from the Heritage Group and mid single-digit growth from the Performance Group were partially offset by the expected low single-digit revenue decline from the Lifestyle Group.
-Adjusted gross margin decreased 40 basis points to 39.4%. Reported gross margin decreased 30 basis points to 39.3%.
-Adjusted operating expenses were $815.2 million, a decrease of 1.8% versus the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, adjusted operating expenses declined 130 basis points to 29.5%, driven by lower pension and incentive compensation expense. Reported operating expenses were $856.4 million, a decrease of 1.8% versus the prior year.
-Adjusted operating margin increased 90 basis points to 9.9%. Reported operating margin was 8.3%, an increase of 120 basis points versus the prior year.
-Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 13.3% to $1.62, compared to $1.43 per share in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $1.30, compared to $0.99 per share in the prior year.
-Inventory decreased 3.3% versus the prior year.
-Operating free cash flow for the full year was a record $279.8 million. The Company ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $223.8 million and net debt of $677.0 million, with the latter down $258.8 million versus the prior year.
"The Company delivered strong financial results in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2014. We are extremely pleased that our outstanding full-year operating cash flow enabled us to reduce our net debt by over $250 million while still investing behind our brands and maintaining our cash dividend to shareholders," commented Don Grimes, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "In what continues to be a volatile global macroeconomic and retail environment, we delivered full-year revenue growth across almost all geographic regions, which is a testament to the broad acceptance of our brands by consumers around the world. Double-digit revenue growth in Asia Pacific, high single-digit growth in EMEA and mid single-digit growth in Latin America - important regions for future growth across our portfolio - were partially offset by flat revenue in the U.S. and a low single-digit decline in Canada, with the latter significantly impacted by foreign currency headwinds."
MULTI-YEAR INVESTMENT PLAN AND FISCAL 2015 GUIDANCE
In order to capitalize on opportunities for accelerated growth around the world, last month the Company announced plans to significantly increase brand-building investments in fiscal 2015. Specifically, the Company intends to increase its investments behind consumer-demand creation, omnichannel initiatives and international expansion - all focused on deepening connections with consumers, elevating brand awareness and driving sustained growth for the portfolio. The Company plans to incrementally invest approximately $30 million in these brand-building initiatives in fiscal 2015.
Given the global nature of the Company's operations, the significantly stronger U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar, euro and British pound is expected to have a meaningful negative impact on reported fiscal 2015 results. Further, the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar since the beginning of this calendar year is the primary driver of the Company's current outlook for fiscal 2015, as detailed below.
For 2015, the Company now expects:
-Consolidated reported revenue in the range of $2.82 billion to $2.87 billion, representing growth in the range of approximately 2% to 4% versus the prior year, reflecting negative foreign exchange, the impact of retail store closures associated with the Company's realignment plan and the exit of the Patagonia Footwear license. Constant currency revenue growth is expected in the range of approximately 5% to 7%.
-Adjusted operating margin to decline approximately 80 basis points, driven primarily by the incremental brand-building investments and higher pension expense, partially offset by modest gross margin expansion. Reported operating margin is expected to be approximately flat to the prior year.
-Modestly lower interest expense of approximately $40 million.
-A modestly higher effective tax rate of approximately 27.5%.
-Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 101 million.
-Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.53 to $1.60, reflecting the incremental brand-building investments, higher pension expense and the negative impact of foreign exchange. Constant currency adjusted earnings per share is expected in the range of $1.71 to $1.78. Reported diluted earnings per share is expected in the range of $1.46 to $1.53.
"The significant incremental investments we are planning for 2015 - which we expect to benefit primarily fiscal 2016 and beyond - represent the next step in achieving the Company's vision of building the most admired family of performance and lifestyle brands on earth," commented Mr. Krueger. "We believe 2015 is the right time to make these investments and expect this, along with our ongoing global expansion strategies, to position our Company for accelerated growth and drive significant future shareholder value."

To supplement the
consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company describes what
certain financial measures would have been if acquisition-related
integration costs, debt extinguishment costs and restructuring costs
were excluded. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide
useful information to both management and investors to increase
comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that
may not be indicative of core operating measures and to better identify
trends in our business. The adjusted financial results are used by
management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating
performance of the Company on a comparable basis. In addition, the
Company presents operating free cash flow and net debt as non-GAAP
financial measures. The Company has defined operating free cash flow as
cash provided by operating activities less cash used in investing
activities. The Company views operating free cash flow as a measure of
the Company's after-tax cash flow available to reduce debt, add to cash
balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund other financing
activities. The Company has defined net debt as debt less cash and cash
equivalents. The Company believes that netting these sources of cash
against debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash to
repay debt. The Company evaluates results of operations on both a
reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency
presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes
providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental
information regarding results of operations, consistent with how the
Company evaluates performance. The Company calculates constant currency
basis by converting the current-period local currency financial results
using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted
amounts to our current period reported results. Management does not, nor
should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in
isolation from, or as a substitution for, financial information prepared
in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures
included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP
measures, are found in the financial tables above.
