Current report
This competitive and evolving environment requires brands and retailers to approach their operations, including with respect to marketing, merchandising, advertising, and fulfillment, differently than they have historically and may result in increased operating costs and ongoing investments to generate growth or maintain existing sales levels. The expanding use of digital platforms, data analytics, and artificial intelligence-enabled tools across the industry has raised consumer expectations for personalization, convenience, transparency, and speed, while intensifying competition across channels.
Current report
These competitive pressures have been further exacerbated by a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Significant increases in tariffs on imported goods, subsequent judicial developments affecting certain tariff measures, continued implementation of tariffs under alternative authorities, and broader uncertainty around U.S. trade and tax policy, inflationary pressures, and elevated interest rates for prolonged periods have weighed on consumer confidence and discretionary spending. Geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and the U.S.-Iran conflict and potential regime change in Iran as well as other hostilities in the Middle East have added to global uncertainty and have the potential to influence energy markets, transportation costs, and broader supply chain dynamics. Taken together, these conditions have increased volatility and reduced visibility across the global retail and consumer environment.
Current report
In response to the uncertain macroenvironment conditions, promotional activity across the industry has increased as retailers seek to offset traffic volatility and stimulate demand, further intensifying price competition. These factors have created a complex and challenging retail environment that impacted our businesses and financial results during Fiscal 2025, exacerbated certain inherent challenges within the apparel industry, and may continue to do so in the future. There remains significant uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, and the impact of these and other factors could materially affect our businesses.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Current report
We consider a variety of performance and financial measures in assessing our business, and the key performance indicators used to measure our results are summarized below.
Current report
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Current report
Gross profit represents net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales is referred to as gross margin. Cost of goods sold primarily represents the cost of merchandise sold, including the cost of duties and inbound freight from suppliers. Our gross profit is variable in nature and generally follows changes in net sales. We believe that gross profit and gross margin are useful measures because they allow management, analysts, investors and others to evaluate the profit we generate from our sales, before operating and other expenses and income.
Current report
Segment EBITDA
Current report
Segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is the measure we use to assess the profitability of our operating segments. Segment EBITDA is calculated as net sales less cost of goods sold and total SG&A of the operating segment, and it excludes amounts reflected in Corporate EBITDA, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization and other infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments). Segment EBITDA as a percentage of segment net sales is referred to as segment EBITDA margin.
Current report
We changed our segment profit measure in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2025 to segment EBITDA. We believe that segment EBITDA is a useful measure because it allows management, analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate the profitability of our business operations before the effects of certain net expenses that directly arise from our capital investment decisions (depreciation, amortization), financing decisions (interest), tax strategies (income taxes), and infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments).
Current report
Net Earnings (Loss) and EBITDA
Current report
We believe that net earnings (loss) and EBITDA, along with the adjusted measure of EBITDA are useful measures of operating performance. Net earnings (loss) represents our profitability after the effects of all operating and other expenses and income. EBITDA helps us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties assess the underlying profitability of our operations before the effects of certain net expenses that directly arise from our capital investment decisions (depreciation, amortization), financing decisions (interest), and tax strategies (income taxes).
Current report
The adjusted measure of EBITDA eliminates certain infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments) that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing business performance. This adjusted measure helps us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties evaluate our operating performance on a comparable basis from period-to-period so that we can better understand the ongoing factors and trends affecting our business operations. We also use Adjusted EBITDA to forecast our performance, evaluate our actual results against our forecasts and compare our results to others in the industries that we serve.
Current report
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Current report
Net loss per diluted share was $1.86 in Fiscal 2025 compared to net earnings per diluted share of $5.87 in Fiscal 2024. The decrease in net earnings in Fiscal 2025 was due to (1) noncash impairment charges of $61 million primarily related to Johnny Was recognized during Fiscal 2025, (2) decreased net sales, (3) lower gross margin, (4) increased SG&A, (5) increased interest expense and (6) decreased royalties and other operating income.
Current report
The lower gross margin for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to (1) increased cost of goods sold from additional tariffs implemented in Fiscal 2025, (2) a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events, including e-commerce flash sales and (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a higher proportion of wholesale sales. These decreases were partially offset by lower freight costs to customers due to improved carrier rates from contract renegotiations.
Current report
•$13 million increase in employment costs driven primarily by new bricks and mortar retail locations, increased incentive compensation and increased medical benefit costs;
Current report
•$6 million increase in consulting and professional services related costs; and
Current report
•$5 million increase in the provision for credit losses primarily due to the Saks Global bankruptcy.
Current report
•$7 million decrease in advertising costs; and
Current report
•$1 million decrease in miscellaneous expenses including samples, supplies and travel related costs.
Current report
Depreciation and Amortization
Current report
We performed interim impairment assessments in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2025 that resulted in noncash impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets totaling $61 million, including $57 million related to Johnny Was intangible assets, which is included in our Johnny Was reportable segment, and $4 million related to Jack Rogers intangible assets and goodwill, which is included in our Emerging Brands reportable segment.
Current report
For both Johnny Was and Jack Rogers, the impairment charges reflect the recent declines in net sales and operating results, partially due to U.S. import tariffs implemented in Fiscal 2025, performance below forecasted expectations and negative revisions to projected results. Refer to “Note 5—Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for additional disclosure regarding the impairment charges recognized during Fiscal 2025. There were no other impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets or equity method investments in Fiscal 2025.
Current report
Royalties and other operating income typically consist of royalty income received from third parties from the licensing of our brands. The decreased royalties and other operating income during Fiscal 2025 was primarily due to decreased royalty income in Tommy Bahama reflecting the lower sales of our licensing partners that were negatively impacted by the additional U.S. import tariffs enacted in Fiscal 2025.
Current report
Operating loss was $31 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to operating income of $119 million in Fiscal 2024. The decreased operating results were primarily due to (1) noncash impairment charges of $61 million primarily related to Johnny Was recognized during Fiscal 2025, (2) decreased net sales, (3) lower gross margin, (4) increased SG&A and (5)
Current report
decreased royalties and other operating income. These decreases were partially offset by decreased depreciation and amortization expenses.
Current report
For Fiscal 2025, our effective tax rate was 26.9%, which primarily reflects the unfavorable net discrete tax expense for shortfalls in stock-based compensation vesting during Fiscal 2025. This unfavorable factor was partially offset by (1) favorable U.S. federal return-to-provision adjustments primarily related to an increase in the research and development tax credit and benefits associated with certain adjustments pertaining to U.S. taxation on foreign earnings, (2) the benefit derived from a reduction in income tax expense as a result of the receipt of interest from a U.S. federal income tax receivable and (3) the remeasurement of deferred tax balances due to changes in state tax rates.
Current report
EBITDA
Current report
Adjusted EBITDA was $96 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to $187 million in Fiscal 2024. The decreased Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower segment EBITDA in all operating segments and in Corporate and Other. Changes in segment EBITDA by operating segment are discussed below.
Current report
The decreased segment EBITDA for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to (1) increased SG&A and (2) lower gross margin. These decreases were partially offset by increased net sales. The increased SG&A was primarily due to (1) $5 million of increased software subscription and consulting expenses, (2) $3 million of increased variable and distribution costs primarily driven by higher sales and (3) $1 million of higher SG&A associated with new retail store locations, including related employment costs, occupancy costs and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by $2 million of decreased advertising costs.
Current report
The decreased segment EBITDA for Johnny Was was primarily due to (1) decreased net sales and (2) lower gross margin. These decreases were partially offset by decreased SG&A. The decreased SG&A was primarily due to (1) $6 million of decreased advertising costs, (2) $3 million of decreased variable and distribution costs primarily due to lower sales and (3) the absence of $3 million in Johnny Was Distribution Center relocation costs incurred during Fiscal 2024. These decreases were partially offset by (1) a $3 million increase in the provision for credit losses primarily driven by the Saks Global bankruptcy and (2) $3 million of costs associated with organizational realignment initiatives.
Current report
The decreased segment EBITDA for Emerging Brands was primarily due to (1) increased SG&A and (2) lower gross margin. These decreases were partially offset by increased net sales. The increased SG&A was primarily due to new retail store operations, including related employment costs, occupancy costs and administrative expenses.
Current report
The decreased Corporate EBITDA was primarily due to (1) increased SG&A and (2) a higher LIFO accounting charge. The increased SG&A was primarily due to (1) $4 million of increased employment costs primarily driven by increased incentive compensation and medical benefit costs, (2) $3 million of increased professional and consulting costs and (3) $2 million of increased costs associated with the project to build a new distribution center in Lyons, Georgia.
Current report
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Current report
The following tables set forth reconciliations of net earnings (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is calculated as net sales less cost of goods sold and total SG&A, and it excludes income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA less other infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments). We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of our core operations. We believe that EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance because it helps us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties assess the underlying profitability of our operations before the effects of certain net expenses that directly arise from our capital investment decisions (depreciation, amortization), financing decisions (interest) and tax strategies (income taxes). Adjusted EBITDA helps us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties evaluate our operating performance on a comparable basis from period-to-period so that we can better understand the ongoing factors and trends affecting our business operations. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, to forecast our performance, evaluate our actual results against our forecasts and compare our results to others in the industries that we serve. We do not, nor do we suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information. The table below showing consolidated totals reconciles GAAP net earnings (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
Current report
The decreased receivables, net as of January 31, 2026, was due primarily to (1) a decrease in insurance receivables of $6 million related to payments received in Fiscal 2025 and (2) an increase in the provision for credit losses of $5 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in income tax receivables of $6 million. Income tax receivables are now presented within receivables, net, to provide a more concise and meaningful presentation.
Current report
Inventories, net, included a $92 million and $85 million LIFO reserve as of January 31, 2026, and February 1, 2025, respectively. The increase in the LIFO reserve was partially offset by slight inventory increases in all operating segments, with the exception of Johnny Was, driven primarily by increased tariffs. As of January 31, 2026, we had $11 million of additional costs capitalized into inventory related to the U.S. tariffs implemented in Fiscal 2025.
Current report
The decrease in goodwill as of January 31, 2026, was primarily due to the $2 million goodwill impairment charge related to Jack Rogers during Fiscal 2025, as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.
Current report
Current liabilities increased as of January 31, 2026, primarily due to (1) accrued compensation of $6 million primarily due to increased accrued incentive compensation, (2) current operating lease liabilities of $6 million primarily due to the opening of new retail stores and (3) other accrued expenses and liabilities of $5 million primarily due to an increase in accrued duties and tariffs.

Previous report
In Fiscal 2022, we acquired Johnny Was. Johnny Was products are sold through the Johnny Was website and full-price retail stores and outlets as well as select department stores and specialty stores. The financial information included in the results of operations discussion below for Fiscal 2022 includes only the nineteen weeks from the September 19, 2022 acquisition date through January 28, 2023. Therefore, the amounts included in the results of operations below for Fiscal 2022 are not indicative of results for a full year. Refer to Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about the Johnny Was acquisition.
Previous report
This competitive and evolving environment requires that brands and retailers approach their operations, including marketing and advertising, very differently than they have historically and may result in increased operating costs and investments to generate growth or even maintain existing sales levels. The competition and evolution within the industry present significant risks, particularly in the current macroenvironment, with heightened concerns about inflation, compounded by significant uncertainty about U.S. trade and tax regulations, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit and elevated interest rates for prolonged periods. Other factors such as disruptions to global shipping and distribution networks from the recent attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea have led to container shortages and changes to vessel availability resulting in shipment delays and increased freight costs. The future geopolitical landscape also remains particularly uncertain following the results of the recent elections in the United States in November 2024. Any resulting changes in international trade relations, legislation and regulations, including those related to taxation and importation, notably, the new administration’s implementation of recently enacted tariffs and threats of additional tariff increases, economic and monetary policies, or heightened diplomatic tensions or political and civil unrest, among other potential impacts, could adversely impact the global economy and our operating results. These factors, when combined with heightened promotional activity in our industry, create a complex and challenging retail environment, which impacted our businesses and financial results during Fiscal 2024 and has exacerbated some of the inherent challenges to our operations and may continue to do so in the future. There remains significant uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, and the impact of these and other factors could have a major effect on our businesses.

•an increase in outlet sales of $2 million, or 3%, including a $3 million increase in Tommy Bahama. This increase was partially offset by a $1 million decrease in Johnny Was; and
Previous report
The lower gross margin for Johnny Was was primarily due to (1) full-price retail and e-commerce sales representing a lower proportion of net sales with more sales occurring during promotional and clearance events, including events to reduce inventory levels during the transition period associated with the movement of Johnny Was' distribution center operations from Los Angeles, California to Lyons, Georgia and (2) a change in sales mix with sales to department stores and off-price wholesale customers that result in lower gross margins representing a higher proportion of wholesale sales than specialty store customers that generate higher gross margins. These decreases were partially offset by a change in sales mix with wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales.

•$2 million decrease in incentive compensation.
Previous report
We estimate that the 53rd week in Fiscal 2023 resulted in approximately $11 million of incremental SG&A.
Previous report
Royalties and other operating income typically consist of royalty income received from third parties from the licensing of our brands. Royalty income in Fiscal 2024 was comparable to Fiscal 2023. The absence of a $2 million gain recorded in Fiscal 2023 on the sale of the Merida manufacturing facility in Mexico previously operated by our Lanier Apparel operating group, which we exited in Fiscal 2021, was partially offset by increased royalty income received from third parties.
Previous report
Operating income was $119 million in Fiscal 2024 compared to $81 million in Fiscal 2023. The increased operating income was primarily due to the absence of (1) a $111 million impairment charge for goodwill and intangible assets in the Johnny Was reporting unit recorded in Fiscal 2023, (2) a $2 million impairment charge in an investment in an unconsolidated entity in the Emerging Brands reporting unit in Fiscal 2023 and (3) improved operating results in Corporate and Other. These increases were partially offset by lower operating income in Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer. Changes in operating income (loss) by operating segment are discussed below.
Previous report
The decreased operating income for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to (1) decreased net sales and (2) lower gross margin. SG&A in Fiscal 2024 was comparable to Fiscal 2023. SG&A was largely flat with increases of $3 million associated with new retail store operations, including related employment costs, occupancy costs, administrative expenses and depreciation expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in employment costs not associated with new retail stores of $3 million.
Previous report
The increased operating results for Johnny Was was primarily due to the absence of a $111 million impairment charge for goodwill and intangible assets recorded in Fiscal 2023. The absence of an impairment charge was partially offset by (1) decreased net sales, (2) increased SG&A and (3) lower gross margin. The increased SG&A was primarily due to (1) $4 million of higher SG&A associated with new retail store operations, including related employment costs, occupancy costs, administrative expenses and depreciation expense and (2) $3 million of costs related to the relocation of Johnny Was' distribution center operations from Los Angeles, California to Lyons, Georgia including systems integrations, employee transitional arrangements, moving costs and occupancy expenses related to the vacated distribution centers. These increases were partially offset by $3 million of decreased amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Previous report
Operating income in Fiscal 2024 was comparable to Fiscal 2023. Increases in operating income included (1) higher gross margin, (2) the absence of a $2 million impairment charge in an unconsolidated entity recorded in Fiscal 2023 and (3) increased net sales. These increases were partially offset by increased SG&A. The increased SG&A included (1) higher SG&A associated with new retail store operations, including related employment costs, occupancy costs, administrative expenses and depreciation expense and (2) the addition of Jack Rogers in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Previous report
The improved operating results in Corporate and Other were primarily a result of a $6 million lower LIFO accounting charge in Fiscal 2024 relative to Fiscal 2023. This improvement was partially offset by (1) increased SG&A, including increased employment costs partially offset by decreased incentive compensation and (2) the absence of a $2 million gain on the sale of the Merida manufacturing facility in Mexico.
Previous report
Net earnings per diluted share were $5.87 in Fiscal 2024 compared to $3.82 in Fiscal 2023. The 54% increase in net earnings per diluted share was primarily due to the 53% increase in net earnings. The increase in net earnings in Fiscal 2024 was primarily due to (1) the absence of $114 million in impairment charges in goodwill, intangible assets, and equity method investments recognized in Fiscal 2023, (2) decreased interest expense and (3) improved operating results in Corporate and Other. These increases were partially offset by (1) lower operating results in Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer and (2) a higher effective tax rate.
Previous report
The increased receivables, net as of February 1, 2025, was primarily due to (1) increased trade receivables resulting from the timing of sales and cash receipts and (2) increased tenant improvement allowance receivables due from landlords resulting from our increased store openings during Fiscal 2024.
Previous report
Inventories, net, included a $85 million and $83 million LIFO reserve as of February 1, 2025, and February 3, 2024, respectively. Inventories increased in Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer primarily due to the early shipment of inventory related to the timing of the Chinese New Year. Inventories decreased in Johnny Was. We believe that inventory levels in all operating segments are appropriate to support anticipated sales plans.
Previous report
Current liabilities increased as of February 1, 2025, primarily due to the increase in accounts payable due to the timing of invoice receipts and payments to vendors. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in current operating lease liabilities resulting from the change in timing of our fiscal year end in Fiscal 2024 compared to Fiscal 2023. Lower revenues in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2024 also resulted in decreases in retail return reserve liabilities and accrued taxes payable.
Previous report
In Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, financing activities used $49 millions and $161 million of cash, respectively.

Previous wording
Our business strategy is to drive excellence across a portfolio of lifestyle brands that create sustained, profitable growth. We consider lifestyle brands to be those brands that have a clearly defined and targeted point of view inspired by an appealing lifestyle or attitude. Furthermore, we believe lifestyle brands that create an emotional connection can command greater loyalty and higher price points and create licensing opportunities. We believe the attraction of a lifestyle brand depends on creating compelling product, effectively communicating the respective lifestyle brand message and distributing products to consumers where and when they want them. We believe the principal competitive factors in the apparel industry are the reputation, value, and image of brand names; design of differentiated, innovative or otherwise compelling product; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing; product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service. Our ability to compete successfully in the apparel industry is dependent on our proficiency in foreseeing changes and trends in fashion and consumer preference and presenting appealing products for consumers. Our design-led, commercially informed lifestyle brand operations strive to provide exciting, differentiated fashion products each season as well as certain core products that consumers expect from us.

During Fiscal 2024, 81% of our consolidated net sales were through our direct to consumer channels of distribution, which consist of our brand specific full-price retail stores, e-commerce websites and outlets, as well as our Tommy Bahama food and beverage operations. The remaining 19% of our net sales was generated through our wholesale distribution channels, which complement our direct to consumer operations and provide access to a larger base of consumers. Our wholesale operations consist of sales of products bearing the trademarks of our lifestyle brands to various specialty stores, better department stores, Signature Stores, multi-branded e-commerce retailers and other retailers.

We operate in a highly competitive apparel market. No single apparel firm or small group of apparel firms dominates the apparel industry, and our competitors vary by operating segment and distribution channel. The apparel industry is cyclical and very dependent on the overall level and focus of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as consumer preferences and regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. Also, in recent years consumers have chosen to spend less of their discretionary spending on certain product categories, including apparel, while spending more on services and other product categories. Further, negative economic conditions often have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel industry than on other industries due, in part, to apparel purchases often being more of a discretionary purchase.

For purposes of our disclosures, comparable sales consists of sales through e-commerce sites and any physical full-price retail store that was owned and open as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year and which did not have during the relevant periods, and is not within the current fiscal year scheduled to have, (1) a remodel or other event which would result in a closure for an extended period of time (which we define as a period of two weeks or longer), (2) a greater than 15% change in the size of the retail space due to expansion, reduction or relocation to a new retail space or (3) a relocation to a new space that is significantly different from the prior retail space (including relocations to accommodate an adjacent Tommy Bahama food and beverage concept). For those stores which are excluded based on the preceding sentence, the stores continue to be excluded from comparable sales until the criteria for a new store is met subsequent to the remodel, relocation, or other event. A full-price retail store that is remodeled will generally continue to be included in our comparable sales metrics as a store is not typically closed for longer than a two-week period during a remodel; however, a full-price retail store that is relocated generally will not be included in our comparable sales metrics until that store has been open in the relocated space for the entirety of the prior fiscal year because the size or other characteristics of the store typically change significantly from the prior location. Any stores that were closed during the prior fiscal year or current fiscal year, or which we expect to close or vacate in the current fiscal year, as well as any pop-up or temporary store locations, are excluded from our comparable sales metrics.

The decreased gross profit of 4% was primarily due to (1) the 3% decrease in net sales and (2) decreased consolidated gross margin. The decreased gross margin was primarily due to full-price retail and e-commerce sales representing a lower proportion of net sales at Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Johnny Was with more sales occurring during promotional and clearance events.

We estimate that the 53rd week in Fiscal 2023 resulted in approximately $10 million of additional gross profit in the prior year.
Current wording
The decreased gross profit of 6% was primarily due to (1) the 3% decrease in net sales and (2) decreased consolidated gross margin.

The income tax expense in Fiscal 2024 reflects the benefit derived from an increase in research and development tax credits, a reduction in income tax expense as a result of the receipt of interest from a U.S. federal NOL carryback claim, a benefit attributable to the vesting of restricted stock awards at a price exceeding the grant date fair value, favorable effects of changes in the fair value of life insurance policies, and benefits associated with certain adjustments pertaining to U.S. taxation on foreign earnings. These favorable items were partially offset by unfavorable items related to the non-deductible amounts associated with executive compensation and an increase in uncertain tax positions.
