The headline numbers were underpinned by balanced gains across regions, brands, and channels, though operating margin narrowed to 14.1% from 16.2% a year earlier as cost of sales climbed to 40.5% of net sales and selling expenses weighed more heavily on results. For the full fiscal year, net sales reached $5.27 billion, a 6% increase, with the Hollister brands delivering record annual sales on 15% growth. Looking ahead, management guided fiscal 2026 full-year net sales growth of 3% to 5% and EPS of $10.20 to $11.00, with the outlook absorbing an estimated 70 basis point net headwind from assumed 15% tariffs on U.S. Imports after planned mitigation efforts.
Key Takeaways
- • Thirteenth consecutive quarter of net sales growth
- • Balanced growth across regions, brands, and channels
- • Hollister brands delivered record full year net sales with 15% growth
- • Comparable sales up 1% in Q4 and 3% for the full year
