Current report

•Additional tariffs recently imposed on products imported into the U.S. from most jurisdictions, along with retaliatory actions by other countries, have created an uncertain environment for global trade. In addition, many of our products are produced in countries, such as Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vietnam, which may be the subject of new U.S. reciprocal tariffs, and there may be additional or increased incremental tariff actions in the future. As a result of the new tariffs, expected additional tariffs, and retaliatory actions taken by other countries in response, the cost of our inventory in the U.S. has increased and may increase further in the future. These increased costs could lead to a significant increase in cost of sales and a significant reduction in gross margin and income from operations. We are monitoring the changing tariff and trade restrictions, assessing the impact on our business and taking steps to mitigate their impact, which include supplier negotiations, cost reductions, changing the timing of receiving inventory and selective price increases. However, the duration, magnitude and scope of any additional tariffs, trade restrictions, retaliatory or other measures are difficult to predict, including any related impacts to consumer demand, along with the extent (if any) to which we will be able to offset the impacts of such actions through our mitigation efforts. These tariff actions, retaliatory measures, or other trade restrictions, could materially and adversely affect our business.

Current report

•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We recognized diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.20, compared to $0.04 in the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to the higher Net income from continuing operations described above.

Current report

•Inventory. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, inventory increased 15%, excluding the Dockers® business, in preparation for sales for the remainder of the year and from earlier receipts in order to mitigate potential impacts from tariffs.

Current report

•Net income from continuing operations. Compared to the first six months of 2024, consolidated net income from continuing operations increased to $219.8 million from $7.3 million, primarily due to the recognition of $13.5 million in restructuring charges in the current year compared to $168.2 million recognized in the prior year, and higher gross profit. These increases were partially offset by higher income taxes in the current year. Operating margin was 10.1% compared to 0.8% in the first six months of 2024.

Current report

•Adjusted net income. Compared to the first six months of 2024, Adjusted net income increased 44.0% to $238.5 million from $165.6 million, primarily due to higher Adjusted EBIT described above, partially offset by higher income taxes in the current year.

Europe. Currency translation affected net revenues favorably by approximately $10 million for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and unfavorably by approximately $8 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. Net revenues in Europe increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 on both a reported and organic net revenues basis compared to the prior-year periods, reflecting growth in both our DTC and wholesale channels. The increase in DTC revenues was primarily due to store performance, store expansion, and higher e-commerce revenues primarily due to higher traffic.

Current report

Wholesale revenues increased for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 on both a reported and organic basis compared to the prior year period primarily due to normalization of shipping after the transition to the distribution center in Dorsten, Germany. Wholesale revenues increased on an organic net revenues basis for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 due primarily to higher volumes, and decreased on a reported basis due to the decline in net revenues from the divestiture of the footwear category. Net revenues also benefited from higher average revenues per unit for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025.

Current report

Asia. Currency translation affected net revenues unfavorably by approximately $3 million for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and by approximately $11 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025.

Excluding the effects of currency, operating income decreased for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 due to an increase in SG&A as a percent of revenues which was partially offset by higher gross margins on flat revenues. Operating income increased for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher revenues and gross margins partially offset by higher SG&A.

Current report

Interest expense was $11.8 million and $22.7 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively, as compared to $10.3 million and $20.3 million in the prior-year periods.

Current report

Our effective income tax rate was 21.2% for the six months ended June 1, 2025, compared to 1,072.6% for the same prior-year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to a one-time $7.5 million tax benefit related to a favorable resolution of a state audit as a proportion to losses before income taxes in the prior year.

Current report

•Wholesaler/retailer dynamics and wholesale channels remain challenged by mixed growth prospects due to increased competition from e-commerce shopping, pricing transparency enabled by the proliferation of online technologies, and vertically-integrated specialty stores. Retailers, including our top customers, have in the past and may in the future decide to consolidate, undergo restructurings or rationalize their stores, which could result in a reduction in the number of stores that carry our products.

Previous report

Organic net revenues increased for the three-month period ended March 2, 2025, compared to the prior-year quarter, due to growth in our DTC channel partially offset by lower wholesale channel revenue.

There were 9 more company-operated stores in operation in Europe as of March 2, 2025 as compared to

In the first quarter of 2024, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a multi-year global productivity initiative, “Project Fuel”, designed to accelerate the execution of our Brand Led and DTC First strategies while fueling long-term profitable growth.

The Company is changing its distribution strategy from an owned and operated model to a mix of owned and third-party operated distribution centers, which has resulted and will continue to result in the sale, lease, exit or transfer of certain distribution centers currently owned and operated by the Company to third-party logistics providers. The first phase of the global productivity initiative was completed primarily in the first half of 2024. In connection with the initiative, we incurred restructuring charges of $6.8 million and restructuring related charges of $4.4 million in the first six months of 2025, which were included in “Restructuring charges, net” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” (“SG&A”), respectively, in the consolidated statements of income.

•The diversification of our business model across geographies, channels, brands, and categories affects our gross margin. For example, if our sales in higher gross margin geographies, channels, brands and categories grow at a faster rate than in our lower gross margin geographies, channels, brands and categories, we would expect a favorable impact to aggregate gross margin over time. Gross margin in our Europe segment is generally higher than in our Americas and Asia segments. DTC sales generally have higher gross margins than sales through third parties, although DTC sales also typically have higher selling expenses and could have lower profitability. As we continue to execute on our strategic framework to be DTC First, we expect to see greater impact on our margins. Enhancements to our existing product offerings, or our expansion into new brands and products categories, may also impact our future gross margin.

•Net income (loss) from continuing operations. We recognized consolidated net income from continuing operations of $140.2 million, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2024.
