Fiscal Year 2026
-
Fiscal 2026 saw double-digit revenue growth, strong D2C and wholesale gains, and improved inventory and cost discipline. Fiscal 2027 guidance calls for low single-digit revenue growth and 130-230 bps EBIT margin expansion, despite macro headwinds and input cost pressures.
-
Revenue and gross margin continue to grow, driven by D2C expansion, disciplined marketing, and product innovation. U.S. and China remain strong markets, while Europe is mixed. Margin improvement is expected through operational efficiency, flat marketing spend, and selective price increases.
-
Q3 saw 13% revenue growth, led by strong D2C and wholesale gains in North America and Asia Pacific. Adjusted EBIT margin contracted due to higher SG&A and product mix, but margin expansion initiatives are underway for fiscal 2027.
-
D2C sales grew 10% year-over-year, with strong momentum in the U.S. and China, while overall Q2 revenue rose 2% to CAD 273 million. Gross margin expanded, but higher SG&A and planned investments led to an adjusted EBIT loss. Entering peak season, the outlook remains confident.
-
Revenue rose 22% year-over-year in Q1, led by strong DTC and wholesale growth, especially in North America and China. Gross margin expanded, inventory declined, and operational improvements boosted store conversion. Management remains confident in sustaining momentum despite macro and trade uncertainties.

-
Q3 revenue was CAD 608M, slightly down year-over-year, with DTC growth offset by wholesale decline. Gross margin improved to 74.4%, and the Snow Goose launch drove strong brand momentum. Full-year guidance is maintained, but DTC comp sales outlook is revised lower.
-
Q2 revenue declined 5% year-over-year, with DTC comparable sales down 13% and wholesale down 15%, reflecting a challenging consumer environment and strategic brand elevation. Inventory and cost management improved, and guidance was lowered, but early Q3 data shows positive momentum, especially in China and EMEA.
-
Q1 FY2025 revenue grew 4% year-over-year, led by DTC sales and strong performance in Mainland China and Japan, while wholesale declined as planned. Gross margin fell due to product and channel mix, but inventory and SG&A efficiency improved. FY2025 guidance is maintained.
