Columbia Sptswr Financials
This page shows Columbia Sptswr (COLM) financial statements, including the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 17 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Stable gross margins are being offset by rising operating overhead, leaving a still-cash-generative business with steadily thinner profits.
The sharp cash swing was mostly a working-capital story: inventory peaked at$1.03B in FY2022, and operating cash flow fell to-$25.2M even though the company remained profitable. As inventory normalized by FY2023, operating cash flow jumped to$636.3M while net income was only$251.4M , showing that cash generation was driven more by stock reduction than by stronger earnings.
Gross margin stayed around
Liquidity remains a cushion rather than a constraint, with a current ratio of 2.6x and debt-to-equity at 0.7x in FY2025. That gives the company room to keep returning cash and absorbing seasonal swings, but it does not solve the core operating issue of weaker expense absorption.
