Columbia Sportswear Company reported modest second quarter 2026 sales growth but a sharp profit rebound, heavily aided by U.S. tariff refunds. Net sales rose 2 percent to $614.4 million. Gross margin expanded to 58.3 percent of net sales, largely from recovering approximately $78 million of IEEPA tariffs, of which $62 million flowed through earnings.
Operating income reached $30.9 million versus a prior-year loss, and diluted EPS was $0.52 versus a loss of $0.19; management estimates the tariff recovery added $0.93 per diluted share. First-half net sales grew 1 percent to $1.39 billion and EPS rose to $1.17.
For full year 2026, the company maintains net sales growth guidance of 1.0 to 3.0 percent but raises its profitability outlook, now expecting gross margin of 52.1 to 52.3 percent, operating margin of 8.5 to 9.3 percent, and diluted EPS of $4.45 to $4.90. Columbia ended the quarter with $624.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, no borrowings, and declared a $0.30 per-share quarterly dividend.

Columbia Sportswear Company entered into a new unsecured revolving credit facility providing up to $500 million in U.S. dollar borrowings for working capital and general corporate purposes, including letters of credit. The facility, led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, matures on March 19, 2031.
Borrowings will bear interest at either SOFR or a base rate, in each case plus a margin that varies with Columbia’s funded debt ratio. The agreement requires a funded debt ratio not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 and includes customary restrictions on additional debt, liens, M&A activity, and affiliate transactions.
If the funded debt ratio is at or above 3.25 to 1.00, annual dividends and share repurchases above $200 million are restricted. The new facility replaces a July 12, 2022 credit agreement, which was terminated with no outstanding loans and only existing letters of credit transitioned to the new facility.
