Executive Summary

Abercrombie & Fitch Co delivered a robust QQ4 2024 with a sharp acceleration in revenue and meaningful margin expansion, underscored by strong free cash flow generation and a disciplined balance sheet. Revenue rose to USD 1.585 billion, up 55.3% year-over-year and 31.1% quarter-over-quarter, driven by a favorable product mix, higher contribution from direct-to-consumer channels, and healthy store traffic. Gross margin reached 61.5%, supporting EBITDA of USD 302.7 million and operating income of USD 256.1 million, yielding a net income of USD 187.2 million and USD 3.72 per basic share (USD 3.57 diluted). Free cash flow stood at USD 256.8 million, contributing to a cash balance of USD 780.4 million and a net debt position of USD 178.9 million.

The company’s balance sheet remains resilient, with ample liquidity and modest leverage (debt to capitalization ~41.6%; debt ratio ~0.29). Cash flow from operations was USD 307.6 million in the quarter, supporting a capital plan that included USD 100.6 million in share repurchases, while capex was limited to USD 50.9 million. Management did not provide explicit numeric full-year guidance in the QQ4 results release, but signaled ongoing focus on direct-to-consumer expansion, digital acceleration, and store-portfolio optimization. Investors should monitor DTC growth, product mix-driven margin progression, inventory discipline, and macro consumer backdrop as key catalysts and risk factors for 2025.
