Johan Hedberg, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “We were pleased to have grown our sales and margin dollars in the second quarter, despite the challenging environment and economic uncertainty. These gains were driven primarily by increased sales productivity in our U.S. retail stores. Our operating expenses increased as expected, driven largely by the shift to leasing our headquarters and distribution center spaces (which we owned during 2024) and other costs related to our now-in-progress move of those facilities in the third quarter; we still expect those costs to lead to operating losses for full year 2025. We hope to continue our sales momentum through the third quarter, while noting that newly-announced tariffs—which did not meaningfully affect our product costs in the second quarter—may impact our sales and profits going forward.”
