Duluth Holdings (NASDAQ: DLTH) boosts Q1 margins and raises 2026 EBITDA guidance
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Duluth Holdings reported fiscal first quarter 2026 results showing a smaller loss and stronger profitability metrics despite slightly lower sales. Net sales were $98.6 million versus $102.7 million a year ago, but net loss improved to $10.0 million from $15.3 million, with EPS narrowing to ($0.29) from ($0.45).
Gross margin expanded 540 basis points to 57.4% of net sales, helped by higher average unit prices, reduced promotions and better product costs. Adjusted EBITDA swung to a positive $2.6 million from a loss of $3.8 million, while adjusted EPS improved to ($0.20) from ($0.44) after restructuring and impairment adjustments.
Inventory fell $43.7 million, or 24.8%, versus last year, and the company ended the quarter with $6.1 million of cash, $62.3 million of net working capital and net liquidity of $99.5 million, including $6.0 million drawn on a $100.0 million asset-based facility. For fiscal 2026, Duluth reaffirmed net sales guidance of $540 million to $560 million, raised its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to $28 million to $32 million, and maintained planned capital expenditures of about $12 million.
Positive
- Profitability inflection: Adjusted EBITDA improved from a loss of $3.8 million to a positive $2.6 million, and 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance was raised to a $28–$32 million range.
- Margin and inventory gains: Gross margin rose 540 basis points to 57.4%, while inventory declined $43.7 million, or 24.8%, versus the prior year, strengthening operating efficiency and balance sheet quality.
Negative
- Sales decline and ongoing losses: Net sales fell to $98.6 million from $102.7 million and the company still posted a net loss of $10.0 million in the quarter.
- Continued cash burn: Cash provided by operations remained negative at $13.4 million used in Q1 2026, despite sizeable improvement from the prior year period.
Insights
Duluth improved profitability, cleaned up inventory and raised 2026 EBITDA guidance despite softer sales.
Duluth Holdings delivered better quality earnings in Q1 2026. Net sales slipped to $98.6M, but net loss narrowed to $10.0M and gross margin expanded 540 basis points to 57.4%, driven by fewer promotions and lower product costs.
Operating leverage improved as selling, general and administrative expenses fell $3.4M to $61.8M, lowering their share of sales. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $2.6M from a $3.8M loss, while inventory dropped $43.7M or 24.8%, easing balance-sheet risk.
Cash flow from operations was still negative at $(13.4M), but far better than the prior period’s $(56.5M), and net liquidity stood near $100M. Management reaffirmed 2026 net sales guidance of $540M–$560M and raised Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $28M–$32M, signaling confidence in margin and cost initiatives for fiscal 2026.

MOUNT HOREB, WI – June 8, 2026 – Duluth Holdings Inc. (dba, Duluth Trading Company) (“Duluth Trading” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DLTH), a lifestyle brand of men’s and women’s workwear, casual wear, outdoor apparel and accessories, today announced its financial results for the fiscal First Quarter ended May 3, 2026.

Management Commentary
President and CEO Stephanie Pugliese stated, “I am pleased with the strong Q1 results as we focus on our customers and continue to build on our promotional reset, operational excellence, and inventory discipline. These efforts led to enhanced gross margin, reduced inventory, improved profitability, and stronger liquidity.” Pugliese concluded, “Customers are responding positively to our core products, seasonal prints and patterns, and our newest marketing campaign, ‘For folks who work their butts off.’ As we look ahead, our focus remains on delivering the core, high-quality, solution-based products that resonate most with our customers and creating an exceptional experience.”
Operating Results for the First Quarter ended May 3, 2026
Net sales decreased by $4.1 million, or 4.0%, to $98.6 million for the three months ended May 3, 2026 compared to $102.7 million in the three months ended May 4, 2025. Direct-to-consumer net sales decreased by 8.7% to $57.1 million due to declines in web traffic and web conversion due to reduced promotional activity partially offset by higher average order values. Retail store net sales increased by 3.3% to $41.5 million driven by higher average order values in comparable stores, coupled with two new stores opened in the third quarter of 2025. |
|
Gross margin expanded by 540 basis points to 57.4% of net sales in the three months ended May 3, 2026, compared to 52.0% of net sales in the three months ended May 4, 2025. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by an increase in average unit retail prices from reduced promotional activity, coupled with an improvement in product costs from our direct to factory sourcing initiative, partially offset by tariff costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.4 million, or 5.2%, to $61.8 million in the three months ended May 3, 2026 compared to $65.2 million in the three months ended May 4, 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 70 basis points to 62.7% in the three months ended May 3, 2026, compared to 63.4% in the three months ended May 4, 2025. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was mainly driven by leverage on variable expenses due to efficiencies across our fulfillment network, coupled with reduction in personnel expenses.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company ended the quarter with $6.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $62.3 million of net working capital, $6.0 million in outstanding debt on the $100.0 million Asset Based Lending facility resulting in approximately $100 million of net liquidity.
Fiscal 2026 Outlook
For Fiscal 2026, the Company is:

Non-GAAP Measurements
Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Within this release, including the tables attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EPS, and Forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. See attached table “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA,” for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA and “Reconciliation of
Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and EPS to Adjusted EPS” for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) and EPS to adjusted EPS for the three months ended May 3, 2026 and May 4, 2025. Also see attached table “Reconciliation of Forecasted Net Loss to Forecasted EBITDA and Forecasted EBITDA to Forecasted Adjusted EBITDA” for a reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA for Fiscal 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are metrics used by management and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into the effectiveness of our business strategies and to compare our performance against that of peer companies. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS exclude restructuring expenses and impairment expenses that are not comparable from period to period.
The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
