Results were strongly influenced by approximately $78 million of IEEPA tariff refunds; $62 million flowed through earnings, including a $60 million benefit in cost of sales and $2 million of interest income, lifting gross margin to 58.3% from 49.1%. Year‑to‑date net income rose to $60.9 million on $1.39 billion of net sales, with gross margin up to 54.1%.
The U.S. segment remains pressured, with net sales down 4% in Q2 and 8% year‑to‑date amid brand‑perception challenges, softer wholesale orders and lower store traffic, while LAAP and EMEA delivered double‑digit constant‑currency growth. Inventories increased to $874.8 million, partly reflecting timing and supply‑chain disruptions linked to conflict in the Middle East.
Liquidity is solid with $532.3 million in cash, $92.3 million in short‑term investments and an undrawn $500.0 million revolving credit facility, and operating cash flow improved to $37.5 million from a prior‑year outflow. The company repurchased $150.0 million of stock and paid $31.0 million of dividends in the first half of 2026.
