Delivered a notably strong first quarter of fiscal 2026, posting adjusted diluted EPS of $0.42 against a consensus estimate of $0.37, a beat of 14.38%, while revenue of $1.74 billion topped expectations of $1.65 billion by 5.68% and climbed 14.1% year over year. The headline driver was broad-based momentum across channels and geographies, with the company's direct-to-consumer segment, now accounting for 52% of total net revenues, growing 16% on a reported basis and e-commerce accelerating 21%. Europe stood out with 24% reported revenue growth, while Beyond Yoga continued its run with 23% expansion. Operating cash flow surged to $211.50 million from $52.50 million a year ago, reflecting improved working capital and proceeds from the completed Dockers divestiture. Encouraged by the results, Levi raised its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance, now targeting reported revenue growth of 5.5% to 6.5% and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.42 to $1.48, with at least one analyst maintaining a buy rating and a $27 price target heading into the print.

Key Takeaways

  • • Broad-based growth across channels, regions, and categories
  • • DTC-first denim lifestyle brand transformation capturing larger addressable market
  • • DTC net revenues grew 16% on a reported basis, comprising 52% of total net revenues
  • • E-commerce grew 21% on a reported basis and 17% organic
  • • DTC comparable sales growth of 7%
  • • Wholesale net revenues increased 12% reported and 8% organic

LEVI Forward Guidance & Outlook

Levi Strauss raised its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance across all key metrics. Reported net revenue growth is now expected at 5.5% to 6.5% (up from 5% to 6%), organic net revenue growth at 4.5% to 5.5% (up from 4% to 5%), gross margin flat to slightly up versus prior year (up from flat), adjusted EBIT margin expanding to approximately 12% (up from 11.8% to 12%), and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.42 to $1.48 (up from $1.40 to $1.46), which includes an approximate $0.04 headwind from a higher tax rate of approximately 23%. Guidance assumes U.S. tariffs on imports from China at 30% and rest-of-world at 20%, and no significant worsening of macroeconomic pressures, supply chain disruptions, or currency fluctuations.
