Revenue Up 10%, Loss Narrows
Q1 revenue rose to C$118.9M from C$107.8M, driven by a 66.5% jump in wholesale. Net loss improved to C$93.0M from C$125.5M, with operating loss shrinking by C$54.9M.
-
Gross Margin Expands to 62.4%
Gross margin increased 100 bps to 62.4%, benefiting from favorable channel and region mix, particularly higher-margin DTC and Asia Pacific sales.
-
SG&A Leverage from One-Time Items
SG&A fell 20.9% to C$178.0M, largely due to the non-recurrence of a C$43.8M arbitration award and an C$8.5M earn-out charge from the prior year.
-
Term Loan Repriced, Non-Cash Write-Off
The company amended its term loan, reducing the interest rate to SOFR +3.0% from +3.50%. A C$6.0M non-cash charge for accelerated deferred financing costs was recorded.
Analysis · GOOS · Manufacturing
A better-than-expected first quarter saw revenue advance 10% to C$118.9 million, while the operating loss contracted by C$54.9 million year-over-year. Gross margin expanded to 62.4%, and SG&A dropped sharply, reflecting the absence of a prior-year arbitration charge. The term loan was also repriced, trimming the interest rate by 50 basis points at the cost of a C$6 million non-cash write-off. Management reiterated its full-year outlook for low-single-digit revenue growth and 11-12% adjusted EBIT margins, signaling confidence even as comparable DTC sales slipped 3.2%. The balance sheet carries higher net debt and inventory, yet leverage remains manageable at 2.1x. These results underscore progress in the brand's evolution toward a year-round luxury positioning, with wholesale and Asia Pacific driving the top line.
