Levi Strauss & Co. delivered strong first-quarter 2026 results, with net revenues rising to $1,742.5 million from $1,526.8 million, a 14.1% increase driven by growth across Americas, Europe, Asia and both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels.
Profitability improved, as net income from continuing operations grew to $177.1 million from $140.2 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations reached $0.45 versus $0.35. Operating margin dipped to 11.4% from 12.5% as higher tariffs and increased advertising and promotion spending offset some benefits from price increases and lower promotions.
Cash generation and capital returns were notable. Net cash provided by operating activities jumped to $211.5 million from $52.5 million, helped by working capital improvements and a $33.0 million legal settlement gain in other income. The company closed the sale of the remaining Dockers® operations for $96.3 million, recording a $20.5 million gain, and executed a $200.0 million accelerated share repurchase, initially retiring 7.8 million Class A shares. Levi Strauss also paid $53.8 million in dividends at $0.14 per share and ended the quarter with $716.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1,050.4 million of total debt, and no borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The form is signed by Ashley Grim on 03/27/2026.
