CompanyMeets Guidance, Inflects to Growth, and Issues 2025 Outlook

ROCKFORD, Mich., February 19,2025 – Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE: WWW) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 ended December 28, 2024.

“A year ago, we outlined an ambitious turnaround strategy composed of three chapters: stabilization, transformation, and inflection. We shared a plan to meaningfully strengthen the Company's balance sheet, expand profitability, and sequentially improve revenue trends – culminating with an inflection to growth in the final quarter of 2024,” said Chris Hufnagel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wolverine Worldwide. “I'm pleased to report that we accomplished all of these objectives. In the fourth quarter, we exceeded our expectations for revenue and earnings and inflected to growth as a Company – delivering better-than-anticipated results for 2024. As we begin 2025, our brands are poised to continue to build on our momentum, standing on a much healthier foundation with stronger product pipelines and compelling storytelling. Our team is encouraged by the work we've accomplished together and excited to turn the page."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Financial results for 2024, and comparable results from 2023, in each case, for our ongoing business exclude the impact of Keds, which was sold in February 2023, the U.S. Wolverine Leathers business, which was sold in August 2023, the non-U.S. Wolverine Leathers business, which was sold in December 2023, and the Sperry business, which was sold in January 2024. Tables have been provided in the back of this release showing the impact of these adjustments on financial results for 2024 and 2023.

FULL-YEAR 2025 OUTLOOK

The Company expects to build on the momentum gained in 2024 and make continued progress on its transformation in fiscal year 2025. The outlook for 2025 highlights the strength of our focused portfolio and investments to support our brands and strategic initiatives. Additionally, projections reflect the impact of foreign currency headwinds and a 53rd week, which will affect annual comparisons. A breakdown of these factors can be found in the Investor Presentation on our website.

Comparable results from 2024 for our ongoing business exclude the financial impact of Sperry which was sold in January 2024.

For fiscal year 2025, the Company expects:

Revenue to be approximately $1.795 to $1.825 billion, representing<br>growth of approximately 2.5% to 4.3% compared to the 2024 ongoing business and constant currency growth of approximately 4.7% to 6.5%.
Gross margin of approximately 45.5%, up 100 basis points compared to 2024.
--- ---
Operating margin to be approximately 7.7%, up 190 basis points compared to 2024 operating margin, and adjusted operating margin<br>to be approximately 8.3%, up 80 basis points compared to 2024 adjusted operating margin for our ongoing business.
--- ---
The effective tax rate to be approximately 18.0%.
--- ---
Diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.95 to $1.10 and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.05 to<br>$1.20. These full-year EPS expectations include an approximate $0.08 negative impact from expected foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
--- ---
Diluted weighted average shares of approximately 81.5 million.
--- ---

“2024 was a pivotal year for our 142-year-old Company. While we haven't yet reached our full potential, I'm encouraged by the progress we've made and thankful for our teams and partners around the world," Hufnagel continued. "The most important chapter is the next one, as we drive together to deliver better, more consistent returns for our shareholders."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Measures referred to in this release as “adjusted” financial results and the financial results of the "ongoing business" are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted financial results exclude environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs, gain on the sale of businesses, trademarks and long-lived assets, Sperry® store closure costs, costs associated with divestitures and pension costs. The financial results of the ongoing business exclude financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses. Revenue adjusted for divestitures and business model changes excludes financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses and are adjusted to include the impact of business model changes in 2023 (the transition of Hush Puppies North America to a licensing model, Hush Puppies IP sale, and conversion of the China joint ventures to the distributor model) and business model changes in 2024 (the transition of Merrell and Saucony Kids to a licensing model). The Company also presents constant currency information, which is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. 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 the Company's current period reported results. The Company believes providing each of these non-GAAP measures provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance.

The Company has provided a reconciliation of each of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors because they increase the comparability of current period results to prior period results by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of core operating results and enable better identification of 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. Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The conference call will be broadcast live and accessible under the “Investor Relations” tab at www.wolverineworldwide.com.

(1) 2025 adjustments reflect estimated environmental and other<br>related costs net of recoveries and reorganization costs.
* To supplement the consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted<br>Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company describes what certain financial measures would have been if environmental and other<br>related costs net of recoveries, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs and gain on the sale of businesses, trademarks<br>and long-lived assets, and pension costs were excluded. The financial results of the ongoing business for 2023 and 2024 exclude financial<br>results from the Sperry business, the Keds business and Wolverine Leathers business. Revenue adjusted for divestitures and business model<br>changes excludes financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the respective dates<br>of sale of such businesses and are adjusted to include the impact of business model changes in 2023 (the transition of Hush Puppies North<br>America to a licensing model, Hush Puppies IP sale, and conversion of the China joint ventures to the distributor model) and business<br>model changes in 2024 (the transition of Merrell and Saucony Kids to a licensing model). The Company believes these non-GAAP measures<br>provide useful information to both management and investors by increasing comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items<br>that may not be indicative of the Company's core ongoing operating business results and to better identify trends in the Company's ongoing<br>business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the<br>Company on a comparable 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 by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's 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.

The foregoing Risk Factors,<br>as well as other existing Risk Factors and new Risk Factors that emerge from time to time, may cause actual results to differ materially from those<br>contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these or other risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking<br>statements as a prediction of actual results.

Adjusted financial results<br>exclude environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, non<br>-cash<br>impairment of long<br>-lived assets, reorganization costs, gain on the sale of businesses,<br>trademarks and long<br>-lived assets, Sperry® store closure costs, costs associated<br>with divestitures and pension costs<br>. The financial results of the ongoing business<br>exclude financial results from the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine<br>Leathers business prior to the respective dates of sale of such businesses<br>. Revenue<br>adjusted for divestitures and business model changes exclude financial results from<br>the Keds business, Sperry business and Wolverine Leathers business prior to the<br>respective dates of sale of such businesses and are adjusted to include the impact of<br>business model changes in 2023 (the transition of Hush Puppies North America to<br>a<br>licensing model, Hush Puppies IP sale, and conversion of the China joint ventures to<br>the distributor model) and business model changes in 2024 (the transition of Merrell<br>and Saucony Kids to<br>a licensing model)<br>. The Company also presents constant<br>currency information, which is<br>a non<br>-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of<br>fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates<br>. The Company calculates constant<br>currency basis by converting the current<br>-period local currency financial results using<br>the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the<br>Company's current period reported results<br>. The Company believes providing each of<br>these non<br>-GAAP measures provides valuable supplemental information regarding<br>its results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance<br>.<br>The Company has provided<br>a reconciliation of each of the above non<br>-GAAP<br>financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure<br>. The<br>Company believes these non<br>-GAAP measures provide useful information to both<br>management and investors because they increase the comparability of current<br>period results to prior period results by adjusting for certain items that may not be<br>indicative of core operating results and enable better identification of trends in our<br>business<br>. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow<br>investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on<br>a comparable<br>basis<br>. Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non<br>-GAAP<br>financial measures in isolation from, or as<br>a substitute for, financial information<br>prepared in accordance with GAAP<br>.

The financial results of the ongoing business for 2023 and 2024 exclude financial results from<br>the Sperry business, the Keds business and Wolverine Leathers business. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by increasing comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that may<br>not be indicative of the Company's core ongoing operating business results and to better identify trends in the Company's ongoing business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the<br>Company on a comparable basis.<br>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<br>operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance. The Company calculates constant currency by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the<br>Company's current period reported results.<br>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 presentation, to the most<br>directly comparable GAAP measures are found in the financial tables above.<br>The Sperry business reflects the revenue and operating profit from sale of Sperry products through the sale of the Sperry business effective January 10, 2024. The amounts also include revenue and operating profit associated with Sperry stores not included in the divestiture<br>which the Company has closed or is in the process of closing, costs associated with Sperry employees not included in the divestiture transaction and costs incurred winding down the Sperry business, including the Sperry business with joint venture partners,that are not<br>covered by the transition service agreement. The Sperry business revenue and operating profit will not reoccur after the Company closes all of the Sperry stores that were not divested and completes the transition of the Sperry business and employees.
