Previous wording
•Reciprocal tariffs previously 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. On February 20, 2026 a U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidated the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) on products imported into the U.S., which introduced the potential for such previously collected tariffs to be refunded by the U.S. government. Through the first quarter of 2026, the Company paid approximately $80 million of these tariffs. The U.S. government subsequently imposed new tariffs under a separate authority prospectively in response to the ruling, all of which have created additional tariff uncertainty. Many of our products are produced in countries, such as Bangladesh, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Vietnam, that were subject to the recently invalidated U.S. IEEPA tariffs, and are subject to new prospective tariffs. There may be additional tariff actions or increases to existing tariffs in the future in response to the recently invalidated tariffs. As a result of these tariff actions, retaliatory actions taken by other countries in response, and ongoing uncertainty regarding 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. However, the duration, magnitude and scope of any additional tariffs, trade restrictions, and retaliatory or other measures are difficult to predict, including related unfavorable 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.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. government imposed new tariffs under a separate authority prospectively. Uncertainty continues to exist regarding current and future tariffs. Many of our products are produced in countries, such as Bangladesh, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Vietnam, that were subject to the recently invalidated U.S. IEEPA tariffs, and are subject to the current prospective tariffs. There may be additional tariff actions or increases to existing tariffs in the future. As a result of these tariff actions, retaliatory actions taken by other countries in response, and ongoing uncertainty regarding U.S. trade policy, the cost of our inventory in the U.S. has generally 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.

•The current domestic and international political environment, including volatile trade relations and military and civil conflicts, and most recently heightened military action in the Middle East, have resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy. There is greater uncertainty with respect to potential changes in trade regulations, tariffs, sanctions and export controls which also increase volatility in the global economy. This environment has affected and may continue to affect consumer sentiment and demand and production and distribution lead times, increasing our costs and potentially affecting our ability to meet customer demand. If these disruptions persist, they may require us to modify our current sourcing and logistics practices, which may impact our product costs, and, if not mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

•As we continue to execute on our strategic framework to be DTC First, we expect to see greater impact on our margins, as the diversification of our business model across channels, geographies, brands, and categories affects our gross margin. For example, if our sales in higher gross margin channels, geographies, brands and categories grow at a faster rate than in our lower gross margin channels, geographies, 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. Gross margin on tops is generally lower than our bottoms category. Enhancements to our existing product offerings, or our expansion into new brands and products categories, may also impact our future gross margin.

•Tax legislation continues to evolve globally with new laws and regulations that create uncertainty and may adversely affect our financial results. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development reached agreement among over 140 countries to implement a minimum 15% tax rate on certain multinational enterprises, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. Many countries continue to announce changes in their tax laws and regulations based on the Pillar Two framework. The Company does not expect the impact of Pillar Two will be significant to our financial results in the short term. Additionally, U.S Congress enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) which includes significant provisions, including extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and modifications to the international tax framework. We do not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact to our financial results and we will continue to monitor its impacts as the legislative landscape evolves.
