The athleisure retailer reported revenue of $2.37 billion, a 7.3% year-over-year gain that fractionally cleared the $2.37 billion consensus, while diluted EPS of $2.60 beat the $2.59 estimate by 0.38%, though net income dipped slightly to $314.57 million as a higher effective tax rate and faster-growing SG&A expenses weighed on the bottom line. The standout driver was international momentum, with China Mainland revenue climbing 21% and overall international sales rising 19%, offsetting a 2% comparable-sales decline in the Americas. CEO Calvin McDonald struck an offensive tone despite the choppy macro backdrop, and the company maintained its full-year revenue outlook of $11.15 billion to $11.30 billion while updating EPS guidance to $14.58 to $14.78, though management was careful to note that potential tariff impacts remain excluded from those figures, a caveat that has kept some analysts cautious even as the brand's underlying health looks intact.

Key Takeaways

  • Revenue growth of 7% year-over-year (8% constant dollar)
  • International revenue surged 19% (20% constant dollar), led by China Mainland at 21% growth
  • Gross margin expanded 60 basis points to 58.3%
  • Product innovations, newness, and brand activations drove guest response globally
  • Comparable sales increased 1% overall; international comparable sales up 6%
