On November 9, 2022, Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (the “Company”) announced certain organizational changes that effected the Company’s internal reporting and reportable segments occurring during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In connection with these organizational changes, the Company's portfolio of brands was reorganized into three operating segments, which the Company has determined are reportable segments. The Company’s operating segments are determined based on how the Company's chief operating decision maker uses internal management reports to evaluate financial information, assess performance and make key operating decisions. As of the fourth quarter 2022, the Company’s reportable segments are now:
• Active, consisting of Merrell® footwear and apparel, Saucony® footwear and apparel, Sweaty Betty® activewear, and Chaco® footwear;
• Work, consisting of Wolverine® footwear and apparel, Cat® footwear, Bates® uniform footwear, Harley-Davidson® footwear and HyTest® safety footwear; and;
• Lifestyle, consisting of Sperry® footwear, Keds® footwear, and Hush Puppies® footwear and apparel.
Kids' footwear offerings from Saucony®, Sperry®, Keds®, Merrell®, Hush Puppies® and Cat® will be included with the applicable brand; prior to the fourth quarter of 2022, kids’ footwear offerings were included in the Wolverine Boston Group reportable segment.
The Company also reports “Other” and “Corporate” categories. The Other category consists of the Company’s leather marketing operations, sourcing operations that include third-party commission revenues, multi-branded direct-to-consumer retail stores and the Stride Rite® licensed business. The Corporate category consists of the Champion trademarks gain in 2022 and unallocated corporate expenses, such as corporate employee costs, costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, intangible impairment and environmental and other related costs.
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company's reportable segments were:
• Wolverine Michigan Group, consisting of Merrell® footwear and apparel, Cat® footwear, Wolverine® footwear and apparel, Chaco® footwear, Hush Puppies® footwear and apparel, Bates® uniform footwear, Harley-Davidson® footwear and Hytest® safety footwear; and
• Wolverine Boston Group, consisting of Sperry® footwear, Saucony® footwear and apparel, Keds® footwear, and the Kids’ footwear business, which includes the Stride Rite® licensed business, as well as Kids' footwear offerings from Saucony®, Sperry®, Keds®, Merrell®, Hush Puppies® and Cat®.
Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect the new reportable segment structure and prior periods will be adjusted to conform to the new presentation. The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide supplemental historical segment financial information for fiscal years 2021 and 2020, the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 and all four quarter of fiscal 2021 that conforms to the Company’s new reportable segment structure. This supplemental historical segment financial information is unaudited and may change in the course of quarterly reviews of the Company’s unaudited financial statements and the audit of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2022. The changes in the reportable segment structure effected only the manner in which the results for the Company’s operating segments are reported. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not restate the Company’s previously reported consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, statements of cash flows and statements of stockholders’ equity for any period. Nor does it reflect any subsequent information or events, other than as required to reflect the change in segments as described above. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal quarters in fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
