TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (NYSE, TSX: GOOS) announced today financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal year ending March 30, 2025. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. “Our strong Q4 results show the kind of impact Canada Goose can make when our brand connects and our strategy hits the mark,” said Dani Reiss, Chairman and CEO, Canada Goose. “We saw solid DTC comparable sales growth, fuelled by compelling storytelling, sharp retail execution, and the continued momentum around our Snow Goose capsule. As we close out fiscal 2025, we are making clear strides across our key priorities – enhancing retail execution, elevating our brand and product offering, and delivering it all, efficiently.” “The success we saw in fiscal 2025 sets a strong foundation for where we are headed. In fiscal 2026, we will continue to execute bolder marketing initiatives, expand and enhance our product offering and elevate consumer experience – all of which drove our momentum last year. These priorities are focused, proven, and designed to keep driving long-term growth.” Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2025 Business Highlights In the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025, Canada Goose made progress across our key operating imperatives for the year. Below are some highlights reflecting our achievements: Implement best-in-class luxury retail execution Progressed on our retail operations, through staff optimization, improved product availability and employee training, contributing to higher conversion year-over-year in comparable retail stores for full year fiscal 2025. For the full year, we converted 2 temporary stores and opened 4 net new permanent stores, bringing our store count to 74 at the end of fiscal year 2025. These stores strategically position us in key markets, enable deeper customer connections, and enhance shopping experiences. Set the foundation for the next phase of brand and product evolution Continued to build on the momentum from our Snow Goose campaign, the first under Creative Director Haider Ackermann, which reimagined our heritage while staying true to our performance roots. Since its November launch, the campaign drove significant brand momentum across all regions establishing a foundation for our elevated marketing approach. Led a successful Lunar New Year campaign in the fourth quarter, enhancing our seasonal relevance and brand engagement in key Asian markets. Elevated the wholesale channel by partnering with brand-aligned partners in EMEA to execute impactful in-store activations at Selfridges and Galeries Lafayette and right-sized inventory levels globally to drive exclusivity of our products. Introduced our Eyewear collection in the fourth quarter, our first online product launch, marking a key milestone in our product category expansion journey.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights2 All Year-Over-Year Comparisons Unless Otherwise Noted Total revenue increased 7.4% to $384.6m, up 4.0% on a constant currency basis3. DTC revenue increased 15.7% to $314.1m, or up 11.6% on a constant currency basis3 driven by DTC comparable sales4 growth of 6.8% and revenue from non-comparable stores. Wholesale revenue decreased 23.2% to $31.8m or 24.9% on a constant currency basis3 primarily due to a lower planned order book in EMEA and timing of shipments. Other revenue decreased 14.2% to $38.7m or 15.3% on a constant currency basis3 primarily due to a lower employee sales and Friends & Family events. Gross profit increased 17.8% to $274.4m. Gross margin for the quarter was 71.3% compared to 65.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to lower inventory provisioning and a higher proportion of DTC revenue. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $219.3m, compared to $209.9m in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A was primarily driven by strategic revenue driven investments to expand the global retail network, a planned increase in marketing spend and higher personnel costs relating to incentive compensation. Costs related to the Transformation Program, which were incurred in the prior period were not incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Operating Income was $55.1m, compared to $23.1m in the prior year period. Net income attributable to shareholders was $27.1m, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared with a net income attributable to shareholders of $5.0m, or $0.05 per diluted share in the prior year period. Adjusted EBIT1 was $59.7m, compared to $40.1m in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders1 was $32.0m, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net income attributed to shareholders of $19.3m, or $0.19 per diluted share in the prior year period. Full Year Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights All Year-Over-Year Comparisons Unless Otherwise Noted Total revenue increased 1.1% to $1,348.4m, or down 1.1% on a constant currency basis3. Within this DTC revenue grew 5.1% to $998.9m, up 2.6% on a constant currency basis3, with DTC comparable sales down 3.6%. Wholesale revenue decreased 16.5% or 18.0% on a constant currency basis3. Other revenue increased 25.3% to $88.7m. Gross profit increased 2.8% to $943.1m compared to the same prior year period. Gross margin for the year expanded to 69.9% from 68.8% in fiscal 2024. SG&A expenses were $779.0m, compared to $792.9m in the prior year period. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to non-recurrence of costs relating to the Transformation Program partially offset by the increased costs related to the expanded retail network and higher marketing spend. Operating lncome was $164.1m, compared to $124.5m in the prior year period. Net Income attributable to shareholders was $94.8m, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared with a net income attributable to shareholders of $58.4m, or $0.57 per diluted share in the prior year period. Adjusted EBIT1 was $171.4m, compared to $171.8m in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders1 was $109.4m, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net income of $101.0m or $0.99 per diluted share in the prior year period. Balance Sheet Highlights Inventory of $384.0m for the fourth quarter ended March 30, 2025, was down 14% year-over-year, primarily due to the optimization of production levels to better align the supply of product with expected demand. The Company ended the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 with net debt1 of $408.8m, compared with $584.1m at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The improvement is primarily due to higher cash balances resulting from lower capital expenditure and the absence of share buyback investments this fiscal year. FY26 Growth Pillars In fiscal 2026, Canada Goose will build on the momentum achieved from the key operating imperatives executed in fiscal 2025, including: Building brand heat through focused marketing investments: We are amplifying our marketing presence to deliver immersive brand experiences and drive brand awareness. This includes increasing marketing spend as a percentage of revenue and boosting investment in upper-funnel activities. We are enhancing effectiveness through high-impact campaigns, exclusive collaborations, and premium storytelling. Expanding our product offering to enhance year-round relevance: We intend to continue our journey to set new standards in performance, authenticity, and style. Our focus remains on infusing more newness into existing categories and expanding our 365-day relevance by growing our apparel offering while maintaining the prominence of down-filled styles. We are refining our approach to adjacent categories by narrowing our assortment while focusing on Hero SKU’s. Driving business expansion through strategic channel development: We intend to expand our store footprint and revitalize existing stores with elevated design concepts to enhance the customer experience. To drive sales productivity, we are sharpening retail execution through optimized staffing, inventory management, and improved sales training. In wholesale, we aim to continue to elevate our presence with brand-aligned partners through tailored showrooms, enhanced sales training and targeted marketing efforts. Operating efficiently with pace & accountability: We are focused on building a more flexible and responsive operational organization, particularly in production planning and supply chain agility to better support the evolving needs of our business. We will also invest in our product and merchandising teams to support our product evolution and ensure our offerings continue to resonate with our customers. Outlook Considering ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and dynamic consumer spending patterns brought on by the unpredictable global trade environment, Canada Goose will not be providing a financial outlook for fiscal 2026. Management remains confident in the strength of the brand, the Company’s solid financial position, and its ability to adapt to changing conditions.
