Vince Holding Corp. Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

Vince Holding Corp. (NYSE: VNCE), a leading global contemporary group (“Vince” or the “Company”), today reported its financial results for the first quarter 2022 ended April 30, 2022.

Highlights for the first quarter ended April 30, 2022:

  • Net sales increased 36.2% to $78.4 million as compared to $57.5 million in the same period last year reflecting a 34.5% increase in Vince brand sales and a 48.9% increase in Rebecca Taylor and Parker sales, combined.
  • Gross margin rate was 45.5% compared to 44.3% in the same period last year.
  • Loss from operations was $5.3 million compared to a loss from operations of $7.1 million in the same period last year.
  • Net loss was $7.2 million or $(0.60) per share compared to a net loss of $11.6 million or $(0.98) per share in the same period last year.

Jack Schwefel, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with our first quarter performance, which was in-line with expectations despite the continued challenging macro environment. At Vince, the ongoing momentum is very encouraging, particularly in men’s, with growth this quarter aided by an increase in store traffic. As product continues to resonate with customers quarter after quarter, we will continue to leverage our strong brand equity and deep customer connections to drive long-term profitable growth. As we head into the second quarter, we remain focused on advancing our strategic initiatives at both Vince and Rebecca Taylor, while simultaneously working to mitigate the impact of supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures.”

For the first quarter ended April 30, 2022:

  • Total Company net sales increased 36.2% to $78.4 million compared to $57.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.



  • Gross profit was $35.6 million, or 45.5% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $25.5 million, or 44.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in the gross margin rate was primarily due to leveraging of distribution and other overhead costs, a non-recurring insurance recovery as well as favorable channel and product mix, partially offset by higher product and freight costs.



  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $40.9 million, or 52.2% of sales, compared to $32.6 million, or 56.6% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily the result of higher payroll and compensation expense, increased investments in marketing, as well as higher consulting and other third-party costs.



  • Loss from operations was $5.3 million compared to a loss from operations of $7.1 million in the same period last year.



  • Income tax expense was $0.0 million as the Company is anticipating annual ordinary income for the fiscal year and has determined that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the year-to-date loss will not be realized in the current year. This compares to an income tax provision of $2.6 million in the same period last year.



  • Net loss was $7.2 million or $(0.60) per share compared to a net loss of $11.6 million or $(0.98) per share in the same period last year.
  • The Company ended the quarter with 86 company-operated Vince and Rebecca Taylor stores, a net increase of 14 stores since the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Vince First Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales increased 34.5% to $68.2 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Wholesale segment sales increased 24.9% to $33.5 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 45.3% to $34.8 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Income from operations excluding unallocated corporate expenses was $9.4 million compared to income of $7.2 million in the same period last year.

Rebecca Taylor and Parker First Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales increased 48.9% to $10.1 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Loss from operations was $1.5 million compared to a loss from operations of $3.3 million in the same period last year.

(1) Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed the allocation methodology for certain corporate operational expenses between the Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer segments. The prior period has been updated to conform to the current allocation methodology. These changes did not impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial results.

(2) Unallocated corporate expenses are related to the Vince brand and are comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to corporate and administrative activities (such as marketing, design, finance, information technology, legal and human resource departments), and other charges that are not directly attributable to the Company’s Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer reportable segments.

Balance Sheet

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022, total borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements totaled $98.5 million and the Company had $41.5 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.

Net inventory at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $83.3 million compared to $71.7 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

During the first quarter ended April 30, 2022, the Company issued and sold 36,874 shares of common stock under the ATM program for aggregate net proceeds of $305 thousand, at an average price of $8.27 per share. Additional shares remain available under the program and proceeds will be used as sources, along with cash from operations, to fund future growth.
