TORONTO, ON (February 14, 2019) - Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (“Canada Goose” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GOOS, TSX:GOOS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, the EDGAR section of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov and posted on the Company’s website at investor.canadagoose.com.
“Fiscal 2019 is shaping up to be another year of impressive results. In our peak selling season we continued to deliver when and where it matters most, while also strengthening our foundation for future success on the global stage.” said Dani Reiss, President & CEO. “We have successfully entered new markets, introduced new product, and increased capacity to meet growing demand in both channels. We remain deeply confident in the long runway we have ahead.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results (in Canadian dollars, compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2018):
Total revenue increased by 50.2% to $399.3m from $265.9m, or 49.0% on a constant currency basis(1). Across our business, a higher proportion of customers purchased product earlier in the second half of fiscal 2019 relative to the same period last year, which positively impacted our growth in the quarter.
DTC revenue increased to $235.3m from $131.7m. The increase was driven by incremental revenue from five new retail stores and one new e-commerce site, as well as the strong performance of existing retail stores and e-commerce sites.
Wholesale revenue increased to $164.0m from $134.2m. The increase was primarily attributable to higher order values from existing partners, coupled with earlier shipment timing relative to last year. Favourable

foreign exchange fluctuations and incremental revenue from the acquisition of the business of Baffin Inc. (“Baffin”) also contributed positively.
Gross profit increased to $257.3m, a gross margin of 64.4%, compared to $169.1m, a gross margin of 63.6%. The increase in gross margin was driven by a greater proportion of DTC revenue.
DTC gross profit was $179.0m, a gross margin of 76.1%, compared to $100.7m, a gross margin of 76.4%. The decrease in gross margin was due to sold inventory manufactured at higher labour costs due to the onset of Ontario’s minimum wage increase at the start of the 2018 calendar year.
Wholesale gross profit was $78.3m, a gross margin of 47.7%, compared to $68.4m, a gross margin of 51.0%. The decrease in gross margin was due to changes in product mix, profit which would otherwise have been recognized on sold Baffin inventory due to a fair value markup at acquisition, and manufacturing labour cost increases, which had a more significant impact in the channel due to the difference between wholesale and retail selling prices. For the nine months ended December 31, wholesale gross margin was 49.2% compared to 48.2% during the same period last year.
Operating income was $139.9m, compared to $89.9m. The increase in operating income was driven by revenue growth and gross margin expansion, partially offset by SG&A growth investments.
Unallocated corporate expenses were $61.3m, compared to $44.0m. The increase was primarily due to investments to support growth in marketing, corporate headcount and IT, including Greater China operations. Professional fees and other costs relating to public company compliance also increased.
Unallocated depreciation and amortization was $5.3m, compared to $2.4m, driven by the retail store opening program.
DTC operating income was $141.4m, an operating margin of 60.1%, compared to $79.1m, an operating margin of 60.0%. The benefit of strong sales productivity across the channel was partially offset by incremental SG&A fees to operating partners in Greater China.
Wholesale operating income was $65.1m, an operating margin of 39.7%, compared to $57.2m, an operating margin of 42.7%. The decrease in operating margin is attributable to the decline in wholesale gross margin described above, partially offset by lower SG&A as a percentage of sales.
Net income was $103.4m, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to $63.0m, or $0.56 per diluted share. The increase in net income was due to higher operating income and a lower effective tax rate.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $151.1m, compared to $94.7m.
Adjusted net income(1) was $107.2m, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $64.5m, or $0.58 per diluted share.

Revised Fiscal 2019 Outlook
Based on the strength of reported financial results for the nine months ended December 31, with significant contributions from both channels, as well as current trends in the business, the Company has revised its outlook for fiscal 2019, which was previously provided with the release of second quarter fiscal 2019 results on November 14, 2018.

                            2



For fiscal 2019, the Company currently expects:
Annual revenue growth in the mid-to-high thirties on a percentage basis, compared to at least 30%
Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) expansion of at least 150 basis points compared to fiscal 2018, unchanged
Annual growth in adjusted net income per diluted share(1) in the mid-to-high forties on a percentage basis, compared to at least 40%
Key assumptions underlying the fiscal 2019 outlook above are as follows:
Wholesale revenue growth in the mid-to-high teens on a percentage basis, compared to high-single-digits, due to sales outperformance in the channel year-to-date
SG&A growth investments in infrastructure and people including IT and the establishment of a country office in Greater China to lead market development efforts
SG&A fees to operating partners on DTC sales in Greater China
Capital expenditures of approximately $70 million including investments in new retail stores, IT and manufacturing capacity
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 112.1 million
Effective annual tax rate approximately in-line with fiscal 2018
Within the meaning of applicable securities laws, this outlook constitutes forward-looking information. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Change in Fiscal Year-End
Effective as of fiscal 2020, the Company’s fiscal year will end on the Sunday closest to March 31. Further details are included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release includes references to adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted net income per share and per diluted share. The Company presents these measures because its management uses these as supplemental measures in assessing its operating performance, and believes they are helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties, in evaluating the Company’s performance. The measures referenced above are not measurements of financial performance under IFRS and they should not be considered as alternatives to measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS. In addition, these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing the Company’s results as reported under IFRS.
This press release also includes reference to constant currency revenue. The Company presents this measure because we use constant currency information to provide a framework in assessing how our business segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and believe this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses. The constant currency measure is calculated by translating the prior year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency calculated based on the current period exchange rates as measured by the Bank of Canada.
The Company’s definitions and calculations of these measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-IFRS financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measures in the tables at the end of this press release.
A reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income, which are forward-looking measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS, to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, is not provided because we are unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a quantitative reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the components of the applicable IFRS measures and non-IFRS adjustments may be recognized. The IFRS measures may include the impact of such items as non-cash share-based compensation, revaluation of the carrying value of our indebtedness, amortization of intangible assets and the tax effect of such items, in addition to other items we have historically excluded from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income. We expect to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of these non-IFRS measures and may also exclude other similar items that may arise in the future (collectively, “non-IFRS adjustments”). The reconciliation also includes the calculation of adjusted EBITDA margin. This is equal to adjusted EBITDA for the period presented as a percentage of revenue for the same period. The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-IFRS adjustments are inherently unpredictable as to

                            4



if or when they may occur. As such, for our fiscal 2019 outlook, we have not included estimates for these items and are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

(a)
In connection with the Secondary Offerings completed in November 2018, June 2018 and July 2017, we incurred expenses related to professional fees, consulting, legal, and accounting that would otherwise not have been incurred.
(b)
Represents transaction costs in connection with the acquisition and the impact of gross margin which would otherwise have been recognized on inventory recorded at net realizable value less costs to sell.
(c)
Represents non-cash unrealized gains on the translation of the Term Loan Facility from USD to CAD, net of the effect of derivative transactions entered into to hedge a portion of the exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
(d)
Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense on stock options issued prior to the IPO under the Legacy Plan and cash payroll taxes paid by the Company of $0.3m and $1.7m in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 respectively, on gains earned by option holders (compensation) when stock options are exercised.
(e)
Represents non-cash lease amortization charges during pre-opening periods for new store leases.
(f)
In connection with Bain Capital’s purchase of a 70% equity interest in our business on December 9, 2013, we recognized an intangible asset for customer lists in the amount of $8.7m, which had a useful life of four years and was fully amortized in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
