How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

News Explained

Adjusted-result comparisons now exclude 2023 recall-reserve adjustments, with first- and second-quarter 2026 non-GAAP results recast on that basis.

As of October 3, 2026, YETI reported approximately $150 million in 2026 repurchases under its existing $500 million authorization, with $350 million still available; that balance is authorization capacity, not a reported additional purchase.

Beginning in Q3 2026, YETI excluded adjustments to its 2023 product-recall reserves from non-GAAP measures and recast its previously reported first- and second-quarter 2026 non-GAAP results to match.

non-gaap financial measures financial

"Beginning in the third quarter of 2026, product recall reserve adjustments"

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

diluted weighted average shares outstanding financial

"Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 75.1 million"

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding is a measure of how many shares of a company's stock are considered when calculating its earnings, accounting for potential shares that could be created if all options and convertible securities are exercised. It reflects the total number of shares that would be available if every possible share-creating event occurred. This helps investors understand how much ownership each share represents and how earnings are spread across all possible shares, providing a more complete picture of the company's profitability.

revolving credit facility financial

"an undrawn revolving credit facility of $300 million"

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

basis points financial

"Gross margin increased 180 basis points to 57.7%"

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

Net Sales Increase 4% and Adjusted Net Sales Increase 6%
EPS Increases 25% and Adjusted EPS Increases 49%
Updates 2026 Outlook

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YETI Holdings, Inc. (“YETI”) (NYSE: YETI) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

• Sales increased 4% and Adjusted sales increased 6%, led by 8% Drinkware growth and 19% international growth
• Gross margin increased 180 basis points and Adjusted gross margin increased 310 basis points
• Operating income increased 12% to $61.0 million, or 12.0% of sales and Adjusted operating income increased 35% to $90.0 million, or 17.4% of adjusted sales
• EPS increased 25% to $0.60 and Adjusted EPS increased 49% to $0.91
• Repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for $20 million

Updated 2026 Outlook

• Adjusted sales growth of approximately 6% compared to 7% to 8% previously
• Adjusted operating income margin of approximately 14.9%, unchanged compared to prior outlook
• Adjusted EPS of $2.90 to $2.95, reflecting 16% to 18% growth, compared to $2.94 to $3.00 previously

Matt Reintjes, Chair of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “YETI delivered Q3 adjusted sales growth of more than 6%, reflecting the increasing breadth and balance of our growing global business, with Drinkware up 8% and international up 19%. Strong operating discipline drove margin expansion, with profits growing significantly faster than sales. Our continued strong free cash flow generation supported our long-term growth plans while also returning capital through share repurchases.

This performance demonstrates continued progress against our Investor Day “Built for the Wild” strategy. It reflects the dedication of our teams and partners, and the multi-year investments we have made across brand, innovation, and global capabilities. Together, these results reinforce the strength of the financial model we outlined. While demand was uneven at times during the quarter, particularly in the US and Canadian markets, the expanding diversity of our products, channels, and geographies strongly supported our overall performance. Looking ahead, we anticipate the consumer environment will remain cautious and put pressure on demand in Q4. Although we are mindful of these near-term dynamics, the strength of our strategy, the durability of our brand, our innovation cadence, and our business model position us well to navigate the short-term market, create value and continue building for the long term.”

Mr. Reintjes continued, “Across our product portfolio, we are strengthening the iconic product platforms that built YETI while also driving our portfolio expansion as you have seen in the past few weeks. At the same time, our brand continues to grow in reach and relevance through authentic storytelling, partnerships, and community engagement around the world. For both product and brand, international remains an especially compelling opportunity. We are seeing continued momentum across Europe and Asia with our first brand stores opening in Japan and Korea and our initial marketplace launch in China in the past few weeks. As we scale, we are also strengthening the capabilities behind the business, across innovation, supply chain, customization, digital, and go-to-market execution.”

Third Quarter 2026 Results

Sales increased 4% to $509.4 million, reflecting broad-based performance across categories and regions.

Adjusted sales, which exclude the current period impact from adjustments to the 2023 product recall reserves, increased 6% to $517.9 million.

Sales by Channel

• Wholesale channel sales increased 19% to $237.3 million, driven by robust performance across the US, Europe and Australia.
• Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel sales decreased 6% to $272.2 million. DTC channel adjusted sales decreased 3% to $280.7 million primarily due to declines in US owned e-commerce and the US Amazon Marketplace, partially offset by strong growth across several key international markets, growth in Corporate Sales, including in the US.

Sales by Category

• Drinkware sales increased 8% to $284.0 million, driven by international and US growth, supported by continued innovation and strength in our core product portfolio.
• Coolers & Equipment sales were flat at $215.6 million. Coolers & Equipment adjusted sales increased 4% to $224.1 million, reflecting continued strength across core and expanded categories, including cases & storage, hard coolers, and bags, supported by ongoing product innovation.

Sales by Region

• International sales increased 19% to $119.1 million, reflecting strong growth in Europe and Australia, as well as continued expansion in Japan.
• US sales increased 1% to $390.3 million. US adjusted sales increased 3% to $398.8 million, primarily driven by growth across Coolers & Equipment as well as Drinkware growth.

Gross profit increased 8% to $293.8 million. Gross margin increased 180 basis points to 57.7%. Gross margin expansion included a 200 basis point favorable impact from lower net tariff costs and a 110 basis point benefit from operational drivers. Operational drivers included continued pricing discipline and lower inbound freight, partially offset by higher product costs driven by commodity inflation. These benefits were partially offset by a 130 basis point impact from the product recall reserves.

Adjusted gross profit increased 12% to $305.5 million. Adjusted gross margin increased 310 basis points to 59.0%. Adjusted gross margin expansion included a 200 basis point favorable impact from lower net tariff costs and a 110 basis point benefit from operational drivers. Operational drivers included continued pricing discipline and lower inbound freight, partially offset by higher product costs driven by commodity inflation.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 7% to $232.8 million. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 100 basis points to 45.7%. SG&A expenses increased primarily due to the product recall reserves, higher distribution and fulfillment costs, and continued growth investments.

Adjusted SG&A expenses increased 5% to $215.5 million. As a percentage of adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses decreased 60 basis points to 41.6%. This improvement was primarily driven by operating expense leverage on higher sales, particularly across distribution and fulfillment costs and marketing expenses, partially offset by continued growth investments.

Operating income increased 12% to $61.0 million, or 12.0% of sales.

Adjusted operating income increased 35% to $90.0 million, or 17.4% of adjusted sales.

Net income increased 13% to $44.4 million, or 8.7% of sales. Net income per diluted share increased 25% to $0.60.

Adjusted net income increased 35% to $67.2 million, or 13.0% of adjusted sales. Adjusted net income per diluted share increased 49% to $0.91.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Review

We continue to maintain strong liquidity with cash exceeding total debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized deferred financing fees, and an undrawn revolving credit facility of $300 million as of October 3, 2026.

Inventory increased 22% to $394.2 million. The increase reflects the comparison to the prior year’s lower inventory levels, which were driven by supply constraints, as well as the buildup to support fourth quarter demand and 2027 growth.

Capital Allocation Update

We continue to expect strong free cash flow generation and remain committed to investing in our business to drive sustainable growth and enhance long-term stockholder value, including through share repurchases.

Pursuant to our existing $500 million share repurchase authorization, in the third quarter of 2026, we repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for $20.0 million, bringing our total share repurchases in 2026 to approximately $150 million. As of October 3, 2026, approximately $350 million remained available for repurchases under our share repurchase program.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

Mr. Reintjes concluded, “While consumers appear to be increasingly selective around discretionary purchases, the performance we are seeing across several key areas of the business remains encouraging, including the reception to the innovation underpinning our Drinkware category. Although we are taking a more cautious view of demand through the balance of the year, we are staying on offense as it relates to brand, innovation and our evolving go-to-market to meet the unmet demand while also driving increased profitability. With our strong financial foundation and disciplined approach to capital allocation, we are uniquely well positioned to deliver sustained growth, attractive profitability, and meaningful long-term value for our shareholders.

We continue to expect a strong year, with approximately 6% adjusted sales growth and adjusted EPS growth of 16% to 18%. We also expect $200 million to $225 million of free cash flow, underscoring the strength of our financial model and providing flexibility to invest in the business while returning capital to shareholders.”

For Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025, YETI updated its Fiscal 2026 Outlook.

• Adjusted sales to increase approximately 6% (versus previous outlook of 7% to 8%), reflecting a more cautious consumer environment through the balance of the year;
• Adjusted operating income to increase 7% to 9% (versus previous outlook of 10% to 12%), with adjusted operating income as a percentage of adjusted sales of approximately 14.9% (consistent with previous outlook);
• An effective tax rate of approximately 24% (consistent with previous outlook);
• Adjusted net income per diluted share between $2.90 and $2.95, representing growth of approximately 16% to 18% (versus previous outlook of $2.94 to $3.00);
• Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 75.1 million (versus previous outlook of 75.4 million);
• Capital expenditures of approximately $60 million to $70 million (consistent with previous outlook); and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Beginning in the third quarter of 2026, product recall reserve adjustments related to our 2023 voluntary recalls are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures. This represents a change from the approach we adopted with our fourth quarter of 2025 results, under which we did not exclude product recall reserve adjustments from our non-GAAP results, but is consistent with the treatment we applied from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2024. We believe this presentation better reflects our underlying operating performance and improves comparability across periods. Our non-GAAP results for the nine months ended October 3, 2026 also exclude product recall reserve adjustments recorded in the first and second quarters of 2026, which were included in our previously reported non-GAAP results for those periods. Non-GAAP results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 and the first and second quarters of 2026, recast to conform to this presentation, are available in the document posted as Supplemental Information under Q3 2026 on our investor relations website at investors.yeti.com.

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share (which we also refer to as adjusted EPS), free cash flow as well as adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as a percentage of adjusted net sales.

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to measure our profitability and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business and are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below.

YETI does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including in particular the impacts of product recall reserve adjustments, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses reported within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions needed in order to provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions may be material and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP financial measures being materially different or less than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. See “Forward-looking statements” below.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon detailed assumptions and reflect management’s current expectations and beliefs. While YETI believes that these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, YETI cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for YETI to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What were YETI’s third-quarter 2026 earnings and sales?

YETI reported $509.4 million in sales and diluted earnings per share of $0.60 for the quarter ended October 3, 2026. Sales increased 4%, while diluted earnings per share increased 25%. Adjusted sales were $517.9 million, and adjusted earnings per share were $0.91.

How did YETI change its fiscal 2026 outlook?

YETI lowered expected adjusted sales growth to approximately 6% from 7% to 8%, and adjusted earnings per share to $2.90 to $2.95 from $2.94 to $3.00. Its approximately 14.9% adjusted operating margin forecast and approximately $200 million to $225 million free cash flow forecast remained unchanged.

How did YETI change its treatment of product recall reserves in adjusted results?

Beginning in the third quarter of 2026, YETI excluded adjustments to its 2023 product recall reserves from its non-GAAP, or adjusted, financial measures. This reverses the approach adopted with fourth-quarter 2025 results. Nine-month 2026 adjusted results also exclude reserve adjustments recorded in the first and second quarters, which previously included them.

Why did YETI’s inventory increase in the third quarter of 2026?

Inventory increased 22% to $394.2 million, reflecting a lower prior-year comparison and inventory buildup. YETI attributed the prior-year inventory levels to supply constraints and said the buildup supports fourth-quarter demand and 2027 growth.

What capital spending and share-count assumptions are in YETI’s 2026 outlook?

YETI expects approximately $60 million to $70 million in capital expenditures and approximately 75.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding for fiscal 2026. The capital spending forecast is unchanged, while the share-count assumption decreased from 75.4 million.
