Vince Holding Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

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

Highlights for the second quarter ended July 30, 2022:

  • Net sales increased 13.4% to $89.2 million as compared to $78.7 million in the same period last year reflecting a 20.5% increase in Vince brand sales and a 27.9% decrease in Rebecca Taylor and Parker sales, combined.
  • Gross margin rate was 40.8% compared to 45.0% in the same period last year.
  • Loss from operations was $5.2 million compared to income from operations of $2.6 million in the same period last year. Loss from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 includes a $1.7 million impairment charge associated with the Rebecca Taylor indefinite-lived tradename and a $0.9 million impairment charge associated with property and equipment of certain Rebecca Taylor retail stores.
  • Net loss was $15.0 million or $(1.23) per share compared to a net loss of $0.6 million or $(0.05) per share in the same period last year.

Jack Schwefel, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the second quarter we saw momentum in Vince across both our women’s and men’s businesses as customers have returned to more normalized activities and events and are gravitating to the versatility of our sophisticated high-quality assortment. While we are operating in a challenging macro environment with increased pressure on profitability, we remain focused on executing against our strategic initiatives for Vince, including the upcoming relaunch of the brand’s e-commerce platform.”

Mr. Schwefel continued, “Given the increased headwinds from the range of macroeconomic and pandemic related issues in the industry that Rebecca Taylor in particular has faced over the past two years, we have made the difficult decision to exit our Rebecca Taylor business. The closure of Rebecca Taylor will allow the company to focus on Vince’s core businesses and our overall financial foundation for the long-term.”

For the second quarter ended July 30, 2022:

  • Total Company net sales increased 13.4% to $89.2 million compared to $78.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.



  • Gross profit was $36.4 million, or 40.8% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $35.4 million, or 45.0% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in the gross margin rate was primarily due to unfavorable year-over-year adjustments to inventory reserves, higher product and freight costs, and an increase in promotional activity, partially offset by favorable leveraging of distribution and other overhead costs.



  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $39.0 million, or 43.7% of sales, compared to $32.7 million, or 41.6% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily the result of higher payroll and compensation expense, higher rent expense and increased consulting and other third-party costs.



  • Loss from operations was $5.2 million compared to income from operations of $2.6 million in the same period last year. Loss from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 included a $1.7 million impairment charge associated with the Rebecca Taylor indefinite-lived tradename and a $0.9 million impairment charge associated with property and equipment of certain Rebecca Taylor retail stores.



  • Income tax expense was $7.9 million as a result of an annual non-cash deferred tax expense created by the amortization of indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets for tax but not for book purposes. This compares to an income tax expense of $1.3 million in the same period last year.



  • Net loss was $15.0 million or $(1.23) per share compared to a net loss of $0.6 million or $(0.05) per share in the same period last year.



  • The Company ended the quarter with 67 company-operated Vince stores and 18 company-operated Rebecca Taylor stores, a net increase of 7 company-operated Rebecca Taylor stores since the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Vince Second Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales increased 20.5% to $80.9 million as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Wholesale segment sales increased 32.8% to $46.7 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 6.9% to $34.2 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Income from operations excluding unallocated corporate expenses was $12.2 million compared to income of $15.6 million in the same period last year.

Rebecca Taylor and Parker Second Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales decreased 27.9% to $8.3 million as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Loss from operations was $5.5 million compared to a loss from operations of $1.6 million in the same period last year. The second quarter of fiscal 2022 loss from operations includes impairment charges of $1.7 million associated with the Rebecca Taylor indefinite-lived tradename and $0.9 million associated with property and equipment of certain Rebecca Taylor retail stores.

(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 second quarter of fiscal 2022, total borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements totaled $115.7 million and the Company had $37.1 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.

Net inventory at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $129.5 million compared to $74.3 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The year-over-year increase in inventory was driven primarily by the planned strategic decision to increase orders of pre-fall and fall assortments as well as a higher investment in replenishment products, and the anticipated higher product costs related to transportation and raw materials inflation.

During the second quarter ended July 30, 2022, the Company issued and sold 68,106 shares of common stock under the ATM program for aggregate net proceeds of $520 thousand, at an average price of $7.64 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.

Plan to Exit the Rebecca Taylor Business

The Company has the made the strategic decision to wind down its Rebecca Taylor business to focus its resources on the Vince brand. The Company is in discussions with its lenders to finalize the wind down plan, which is expected to include selling off its assets and exiting its various business channels.
