Current report

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company announced it had initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives for the Dockers® brand, which could include a potential sale or other strategic transaction. During the second quarter of 2025 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Dockers® business, subject to customary closing conditions. On July 31, 2025 the Company sold the Dockers® intellectual property and operations in the U.S. and Canada. The sale of the remaining Dockers® operations is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 and be completed on or around February 27, 2026. The Dockers® business was reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for all periods prese nted. The current year and prior year metrics included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis exclude the impact of Dockers®.

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, Pakistan, Cambodia and Vietnam, which have been the subject of U.S. reciprocal tariffs, and there may be additional tariff actions in the future. As a result of the new tariffs, expected additional tariffs, retaliatory actions taken by other countries in response, and continuing uncertainty as to the status of U.S. trade policy, 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 tariffs 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 related unfavorable impacts to consumer demand, to market share as a result of selective prices increases, 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

•As part of our effort to optimize our logistics network, we are in the process of transitioning and stabilizing the operation of certain of our global distribution and fulfillment centers to third-party logistics providers. This transition from owner-operated facilities to third-party logistics providers has and may continue to cause interruptions to these centers as we transition or restructure systems, technology and employees. We have and may continue to experience shipping delays, order cancellations and increased costs as a result of this transition and stabilization. Given that, we are subject to concentration risks and any disruptions, delays or other events impacting the business of the third-party logistics providers may have a significant impact on our business, including our ability to timely fulfill orders. If we continue to encounter problems with our distribution system, our ability to meet customer and consumer expectations, manage inventory, complete sales and achieve operating efficiencies may be adversely affected.

Current report

•Net revenues. Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, consolidated net revenues increased 0.9% on a reported basis and 5.0% on an organic net revenues basis, driven by growth in DTC, which grew across our regions. Wholesale revenues decreased on a reported basis and were flat on an organic basis primarily due to declines in the Americas. Organic net revenues excludes the impact on net revenues of the footwear and Denizen®wind downs as well as the 53rd week in fiscal year 2024, which benefited net revenues by approximately $78 million or 4.5% in the fourth quarter.

Current report

•Adjusted EBIT. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, Adjusted EBIT of $213.4 million decreased from $243.1 million due to higher Adjusted SG&A and lower gross margins, partially offset by higher revenues. As a result, Adjusted EBIT margin was 12.1%, 180 basis points lower than the fourth quarter of 2024 on a reported basis, and 200 basis points lower on a constant-currency basis.

Current report

•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We recognized diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.40, compared to $0.45 in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to the decrease in Net income from continuing operations described above.

Current report

•Net income from continuing operations. Compared to the fiscal year 2024, consolidated net income from continuing operations increased to $502.0 million from $210.4 million, primarily due to higher revenue and gross profit and lower restructuring charges and goodwill and intangible impairment charges, partially offset by higher income taxes. Restructuring charges were $24.5 million in the current year compared to $185.6 million recognized in the prior year, and Beyond Yoga® goodwill and intangible impairment charges recorded in thethird quarter of 2024 were $111.4 million. Operating margin was 10.8% compared to 4.4% in fiscal year 2024.

Current report

•Adjusted EBIT. Compared to fiscal year 2024, Adjusted EBIT of $719.0 million increased from $645.4 million primarily due to higher revenue and gross profit, partially offset by higher Adjusted SG&A. Adjusted EBIT margin was 11.4%, 70 basis points higher than the prior fiscal year. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on Adjusted EBIT margin.

Current report

Discontinued operations. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, the Dockers® business was held for sale and reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.

Current report

(1)The wind down of Denizen® brand operations was substantially complete as of March 2, 2025.

Current report

Currency translation had a favorable impact on total net revenues of approximately $5 million for the year ended November 30, 2025. Total net revenues increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis for the year ended November 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in reported net revenues was partially offset by the impact of a 53rd week in fiscal year 2024, impacting net revenues by approximately $78 million, or 1.3% and the wind down of the Denizen® business and footwear category, which impacted net revenues unfavorably by $30 million and $66 million, respectively, for the year ended November 30, 2025.

Current report

The increase in DTC revenues was attributable to growth across all markets, led by the U.S. and Latin America, driven by store performance due to higher traffic, and also benefited from higher average revenues per unit. E-commerce revenues increased, primarily due to higher online traffic. Wholesale revenues increased on an organic net revenues basis primarily due to higher volume in the U.S. and Latin America, including from door and category expansion and price increases, partially offset by a decrease related to lower shipping in connection with the transition to the distribution center in Groveport, Ohio. Additionally, the Colombia stores, distribution and logistics operations acquired at the start of the second quarter of 2024, contributed $22.4 million to net revenue growth for the year ended November 30, 2025. Wholesale revenues on a reported basis were flat compared with fiscal year 2024 primarily due to the exit of our Denizen® business and an additional week in fiscal year 2024.

Current report

Europe. Currency translation had a favorable impact on net revenues of approximately $50 million for the year ended November 30, 2025. Net revenues in Europe increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis, reflecting growth in our DTC channel as well as growth in our wholesale channel on an organic net revenues basis. The increase in DTC revenues was primarily due to store performance and an increase in e-commerce revenues primarily due to higher traffic and higher conversion. Wholesale revenues increased on an organic net revenues basis compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher volumes including as a result of a shift in shipments in the fourth quarter of 2025 to provide products earlier to wholesale customers in line with the related contracts, and decreased on a reported basis due to the wind down of the footwear category.

Current report

Asia. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact on net revenues of approximately $19 million for the year ended November 30, 2025. Net revenues in Asia increased on both reported and organic net revenues basis driven by growth in our DTC channel. The increase in DTC revenues was primarily due to store expansion and strong performance in our company-operated stores as a result of increased volume driven by higher traffic, and an increase in e-commerce revenues from successful marketing and promotions. We benefited from 38 more stores in operation as of November 30, 2025, as compared to December 1, 2024. Wholesale net revenues decreased due to the impacts of currency and were flat on an organic net revenues basis due to a decrease in units sold offset by an increase in average revenues per unit. DTC and wholesale revenues benefited from price increases, primarily in Turkey and India.

Current report

Wholesale. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact on net revenues of approximately $7 million for the year ended November 30, 2025. Net revenues in our wholesale channel decreased on a reported basis and increased on an organic net revenues basis for the year ended November 30, 2025. The decrease on a reported basis was primarily driven by the exit of the Denizen® brand in the Americas, the wind down of the footwear category, and the impact of the 53rd week in 2024. Wholesale revenues increased on an organic basis compared with fiscal year 2024 in the Americas and Europe due to higher volumes.

Current report

DTC (Direct to Consumer). Currency translation had a favorable impact on net revenues of approximately $12 million for the year ended November 30, 2025. Net revenues in our DTC channel increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis for the year ended November 30, 2025 driven primarily by store performance and e-commerce, which was driven primarily by higher traffic. Additionally, fiscal year 2024 included the benefit of a 53rd week which resulted in lower sales compared to fiscal year 2024 on a reported basis. On an organic net revenues basis our DTC business grew 9% in the U.S., 8% in Europe, and 13% in Asia for the year ended November 30, 2025. As a percentage of net revenues on a reported basis for the year ended November 30, 2025, DTC comprised 49% of total net revenues.

Current report

Selling. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact on selling expenses of approximately $4 million for the year ended November 30, 2025. Excluding the effects of currency, selling expenses increased primarily due to the growth of the DTC business as a result of costs related to store expansion and store performance in the current year as compared to the prior fiscal year. This was partially offset by e-commerce related fulfillment costs of approximately $37.0 million that are now included as distribution expenses.

Current report

Other. Other expenses include functional administrative and organization costs, information resources, and marketing organization costs. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on other expenses for the year ended November 30, 2025. Excluding the effects of currency, the decrease in other costs was primarily due to decreases in restructuring related charges and an $11.1 million impairment charge related to discontinued technology projects in the prior year. This was partially offset by increases in incentive compensation, technology costs and professional fees. During the years ended November 30, 2025 and December 1, 2024 we recognized $12.1 million and $54.3 million of restructuring related charges, respectively.

Current report

During the year ended November 30, 2025, we recognized restructuring charges of $24.5 million in connection with Project Fuel consisting primarily of severance and other post-employment benefit charges, asset impairments and contract terminations in connection with closures of distribution centers which were partially offset by a gain on the sale of a previously closed distribution center.

Current report

During the third quarter of 2025, as part of our annual review of the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit, we elected to perform a single step quantitative impairment test on the goodwill and indefinite lived trademark intangible assigned to the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit. Although the fair values of the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit and the indefinite lived trademark intangible exceeded their carrying values, the fair values of the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit and the indefinite lived trademark intangible were less than 10% over their carrying values.

Current report

Currency translation did not have a significant impact on total operating income for the year ended November 30, 2025.

Current report

•Asia. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact on operating income in the segment of approximately $4 million for the year ended November 30, 2025. Excluding the effects of currency, the increase in operating income was primarily due to higher revenues and gross margin as compared to the prior fiscal year, partially offset by higher SG&A.

Current report

Restructuring charges, net. During the year ended November 30, 2025, we recognized restructuring charges of $24.5 million in connection with Project Fuel consisting primarily of severance and other post-employment benefit charges, asset impairments and contract terminations in connection with closures of distribution centers which were partially offset by a gain on the sale of a previously closed distribution center.

Current report

Currency translation did not have a significant impact on corporate expenses for the year ended November 30, 2025. The decrease in corporate expenses for the year ended November 30, 2025 is primarily due to decreases in restructuring related charges and technology impairments related to our restructuring initiative and lower global sourcing costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases in incentive compensation, professional fees and technology costs.

Current report

Operating margin. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on operating margin for the year ended November 30, 2025. Compared to fiscal year 2024, consolidated operating income increased 157.9% to $677.6 million from $262.7 million due primarily to lower restructuring charges and lower goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges. Higher revenues and gross margin, partially offset by higher SG&A which decreased as a percent of net revenues, also contributed to the increase in operating income and operating margin.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We determined that the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.

Current report

Discontinued operations consist of the operations of our Dockers® business. See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

Current report

During the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased 1.6 million shares for $30.0 million, plus broker’s commissions, in the open market. During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a third-party financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $120.0 million of our Class A common stock as part of our share repurchase program. At inception, the Company made an initial payment of $120.0 million and received and immediately retired 4,989,605 shares of Class A common stock, representing 80% of the dollar amount of the transaction based on the August 1, 2025 closing share price over the transaction’s term (the “ASR Agreement”). We settled the ASR Agreement in the fourth quarter of 2025 and received and immediately retired an additional 596,917 shares. The average price paid per share over the transaction’s term was $21.48. The transaction was recorded as a reduction of retained earnings of $109.4 million and a reduction of additional paid-in capital of $11.6 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of Dockers® intellectual property and operations in the U.S. and Canada to fund the upfront payment due under the ASR Agreement.

Current report

In July 2025, we used the proceeds from the newly issued €475.0 million 4.000% Senior Notes due 2030 plus cash on hand to redeem all of the €475.0 million 3.375% Senior Notes due 2027.

Current report

Cash used for investing activities was $68.7 million for fiscal year 2025, as compared to $281.1 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease in net cash used for investing activities was primarily due to net proceeds from the sale of Dockers® U.S. and Canada business, higher net proceeds from forward foreign exchange contracts and proceeds from the sale of assets compared to the same period in 2024, as well as payments to acquire a business in fiscal year 2024. The decreases are partially offset by net payments to acquire short-term investments in fiscal year 2025.

Previous report

Disruption of container shipping traffic through the Red Sea and surrounding waterways is affecting transit times and shipping costs for goods manufactured in Asia and destined to Europe and the U.S. We have taken actions to divert the flow of goods and are negotiating with shipping companies on the cost impacts to minimize impacts on the business. Additionally, inflationary pressures, competition for, and price volatility of, resources throughout the supply chain persist. We continue to pursue mitigation strategies and create new efficiencies in our global supply chain.

Previous report

Inflationary pressures persist, including increased costs of labor and increased supply chain costs. Trends such as these have resulted in higher product costs in previous periods and may do so again in the future, increasing pressure to reduce costs and raise product prices, which could have a negative impact on consumer demand. If these inflationary pressures continue, our revenue, operating margins and net income will be impacted in 2025.

Previous report

During the year ended December 1, 2024, we also recognized $54.3 million of restructuring related charges primarily consisting of consulting fees and an impairment charge of $11.1 million related to capitalized internal-use software as a result of the decision to discontinue certain technology projects in connection with Project Fuel, recorded within Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the Company’s consolidated statements of income, and $5.5 million in goodwill impairment charges related to our footwear business as a result of the decision to discontinue the category recorded within Goodwill and other intangible impairment charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. We may incur additional significant restructuring and related charges as we progress our global productivity initiative, which could be material in a future fiscal quarter or year.

Previous report

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company announced that it has initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives for the Dockers® brand, which could include a potential sale or other strategic transaction. The Company has retained Bank of America as its financial advisor. The Company has not set a deadline or definitive timetable for the completion of the strategic alternatives review process, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction or particular outcome.

Previous 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

The increase in DTC channel revenues was driven by both strong performance and store expansion in our company-operated stores, due to higher traffic, an increase in units sold, and sales from an additional week in fiscal year 2024. There were 46 more stores in operation as of December 1, 2024, as compared to November 26, 2023. E-commerce revenue increased primarily from higher traffic and conversion. The decrease in wholesale channel revenue was driven by lower units sold and the exit of our Denizen business of $53 million.

Previous report

Europe. Net revenues in Europe increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis, with currency translation affecting net revenues favorably by approximately $8 million. Excluding the effects of currency, net revenues increased due to growth in our DTC channel due to expansion in our company-operated stores and higher sales from an additional week in fiscal year 2024. There were 8 more stores in operation as of December 1, 2024, as compared to November 26, 2023. E-commerce revenues increased due to higher online traffic.

Previous report

Asia. Net revenues in Asia increased on both reported and organic net revenues basis, with currency translation affecting net revenues unfavorably by approximately $37 million. Excluding the effects of currency, net revenues increased in 2024 in both our DTC and wholesale channels.

Previous report

In our DTC channel, revenues increased due to strong performance in our company-operated stores as a result of higher selling prices, and strong performance in our e-commerce as a result of higher online traffic. Additionally, store expansion attributed to revenue growth, as there were 40 more stores in operation as of December 1, 2024, as compared to November 26, 2023. Weak store performance in China resulting from lower traffic and lower units sold partially offset these increases. Wholesale channel revenues increased due to higher volume and higher average selling prices, particularly in India and Turkey, partially offset by lower units sold in China.

Previous report

•Dockers®. Net revenues in Dockers decreased on a reported and organic net revenues basis, with currency affecting net revenues unfavorably by approximately $4 million. Excluding the effects of currency, net revenues decreased in 2024 primarily due to lower volume in the U.S. wholesale channel, partially offset by expansion in our DTC channel.

Previous report

Wholesale. On both a reported and organic net revenues basis, net revenues in our wholesale channel decreased, with currency translation affecting net revenues unfavorably by approximately $19 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the exit of the Denizen® brand, which contributed approximately $53 million to the decline, and lower volumes, primarily in the U.S. and Europe. Additionally, the impact of the exit of the Russia business contributed $8 million to the decline.

Previous report

DTC (Direct to Consumer).

Previous report

Other. Other expenses include functional administrative and organization costs, information resources, and marketing organization costs. Currency translation impacted administration expenses favorably by approximately $2 million for the year ended December 1, 2024. The increase in other costs was primarily due to restructuring related charges and additional funding of employee incentive compensation as compared to the prior fiscal year, partially offset by lower impairment charges. During the year ended December 1, 2024 we recognized $54.3 million of restructuring related charges, primarily consisting of consulting fees, in connection with Project Fuel. Incentive compensation increased $12.9 million during the year ended December 1, 2024 compared to the prior fiscal year. We also recognized $11.1 million of impairments related to discontinued technology projects during the year ended December 1, 2024 compared with $49.3 million in charges related to the impairment of capitalized internal-use software during the year ended November 26, 2023, net of a $3.9 million gain on the early termination of store leases related to the Russia-Ukraine war.

Previous report

•Asia. Currency translation unfavorably affected operating income in the segment by approximately $8 million as compared to the prior fiscal year.

Compared to fiscal year 2023, consolidated operating income decreased 25.2% to $264.1 million from $353.3 million due to higher gross margin being more than offset by SG&A expenses in the current fiscal year.

Previous report

Interest expense was $41.8 million for the year ended December 1, 2024, as compared to $45.9 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily due to the $200.0 million revolving credit facility paid off in 2023.

Previous report

Cash used for investing activities was $281.1 million for fiscal year 2024, as compared to $240.7 million for fiscal year 2023. The increase in cash used for investing activities is due to lower proceeds from short-term investments, higher payments on settlement of forward foreign exchange contracts, and higher payments incurred for business acquisitions during fiscal year 2024, partially offset by lower payments for capital expenditures. See Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this report regarding our acquisition of Expofaro S.A.S.

This was a two-year initiative that began in 2024, with a focus on optimizing our operating model and structure, redesigning business processes and identifying opportunities to reduce costs and simplify processes across our organization. While this initiative is substantially complete, we continue efforts in line with our global productivity initiative. In connection with Project Fuel, the Company changed 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. The second phase was substantially completed as of November 30, 2025. However we continue to transition the operations of certain of our global distribution and fulfillment centers to third-party logistics providers. During the years ended November 30, 2025 and December 1, 2024 we incurred restructuring charges of $24.5 million and $185.6 million, respectively, and restructuring related charges of $12.1 million and $54.3 million, respectively, which are included in “Restructuring charges, net” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” (“SG&A”), respectively, in the consolidated statements of income. We may incur additional significant restructuring and restructuring related charges as we progress our global productivity initiative, which could be material in a future fiscal quarter or year.

Excluding the effects of currency, the increase in distribution expenses was primarily due to higher spend in support of both our DTC and wholesale businesses, including e-commerce related fulfillment costs for the year ended November 30, 2025 of approximately $37.0 million that were previously classified as selling, costs to transition to third-party distribution centers in Groveport, Ohio and Dorsten, Germany and costs to run parallel distribution centers in the U.S. as we continue to implement our distribution strategy model to operate a mix of owned and third-party operated distribution centers. This is partially offset by lower costs from Company owned and operated distribution centers that we are winding down and exiting.
