Outlook

 

The Company today updated its outlook for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027 and provided its outlook for the third quarter ending October 31, 2026. The Company’s updated guidance assumes that tariffs for the remainder of the year will approximate current rates.

 

The Company’s outlook does not include any impact related to the Marc Jacobs acquisition, and it expects to provide more specific guidance when it reports third quarter earnings. The Company believes the acquisition will be slightly dilutive in fiscal 2027.

 

As previously disclosed, the transaction is expected to be dilutive during the first 12 months after closing, with accretion expected thereafter.


Fiscal 2027

 

Net sales for fiscal 2027 are expected to be approximately $2.71 billion, which incorporates the loss of approximately $460 million of sales from Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger products. This compares to net sales of $2.96 billion for fiscal 2026.

 

Net income is expected to be between $181.0 million and $185.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $4.10 and $4.20. This compares to net income of $67.4 million, or $1.51 per diluted share for fiscal 2026.

 

Non-GAAP net income is expected to be between $97.0 million and $101.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $2.20 and $2.30. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $116.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of $2.61 for fiscal 2026.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $174.0 million and $178.0 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $192.4 million in fiscal 2026.

 

Net interest income is expected to be approximately $8.0 million for GAAP purposes and $5.0 million for non-GAAP purposes.

 

Tax rates are estimated to be approximately 25.2% for GAAP purposes and 32.2% for non-GAAP purposes.

 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2027

 

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 are expected to be approximately $870.0 million. This compares to net sales of $988.6 million in last year’s third quarter.

 

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 is expected to be between $59.0 million and $64.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $1.35 and $1.45. This compares to GAAP net income of $80.6 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $83.4 million, or $1.90 per diluted share in last year’s third quarter.

Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share is a “non-GAAP financial measure” that excludes (i) in fiscal 2027, the benefit recognized in connection with the recovery of previously incurred tariffs imposed under the IEEPA on inventory sold in the prior year included in cost of goods sold, (ii) in fiscal 2027, interest income received from the IEEPA tariff refund, (iii) in fiscal 2027, expenses related to the Marc Jacobs acquisition primarily related to professional fees, (iv) in fiscal 2026, asset impairments, (v) in fiscal 2026, professional fees related to a potential strategic opportunity that did not come to fruition, (vi) in fiscal 2026, one-time severance expenses related to a closed warehouse and (vii) in fiscal 2027, the tax benefit recognized from the release of a valuation allowance related to prior year impairments that have been determined to be deductible for tax purposes. The income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments, excluding the tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance, is calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate for the respective period. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core business operating results. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance on a comparative basis and believes that they are also useful to investors to enable them to assess our performance on a comparative basis across historical periods and facilitate comparisons of our operating results to those of our competitors. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
