Canada Goose reported a substantial decline in full-year fiscal 2026 profitability, with net income attributable to shareholders dropping from $94.8 million to $22.5 million and adjusted EBIT falling from $171.4 million to $148.0 million. This was primarily due to higher SG&A expenses, including strategic investments, an arbitration payment, and a bad-debt provision. While fourth-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings per share showed strong growth, the full-year performance and the fiscal 2027 outlook for low-single digit revenue growth are modest. However, the company anticipates an improvement in adjusted EBIT margin for fiscal 2027 (11-12% vs. 9.7% in FY26), suggesting a focus on profitability recovery.
