The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

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.

constant currency financial
"12% on a constant currency basis"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
pro forma financial
"Pro Forma Net sales and related growth rates exclude Net sales"
Pro forma refers to financial information that is prepared based on estimates or adjustments to show what a company's results might look like under certain scenarios, such as new projects or acquisitions. It helps investors understand the potential impact of future events by providing a clear, hypothetical view of financial performance, much like a weather forecast shows possible future conditions.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow financial
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP)"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.
Leverage Ratio financial
"Leverage Ratio is calculated as Total Debt"
Leverage ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money compared with its own funds or assets, typically expressed as debt relative to equity or total assets. Like a homeowner with a mortgage, higher leverage can amplify returns when business is strong but also raises the chance of big losses or default if revenue falls, so investors use it to judge financial risk and resilience.

●
Revenue of approximately $8.5 billion to $8.6 billion, representing approximately 6% to 7% growth on a constant currency basis versus prior year. Foreign currency is expected to be a 30 basis point benefit to revenue growth in the fiscal year. This is above prior guidance of $8.4 billion to $8.5 billion;
 
●
Operating margin expansion of approximately 100 basis points versus prior year. This is above prior guidance for an increase of approximately 50 basis points;
 
●
Net interest expense of approximately $60 million versus prior guidance of approximately $55 million;
 
●

Weighted average diluted share count of approximately 200 million, versus prior guidance of approximately 203 million;
 
●
Earnings per diluted share of $8.25 to $8.35, representing 17% to 18% growth versus prior year. This is above prior guidance of $7.80 to $7.90;

Adjusted free cash flow approaching $1.7 billion, including CapEx and Cloud Computing costs of $300 million or approximately 3% to 4% of revenue. This is unchanged from prior guidance.
 
7

 
In addition, for the second fiscal quarter of 2027, the Company expects:

Earnings per diluted share of approximately $3.05, representing low-teens growth versus prior year.
 
Please note the Company’s non-GAAP outlook:
 
●
Excludes the impact of the 53rd week in Fiscal 2027, which is expected to contribute an additional percentage point to annual revenue growth and have a neutral impact on operating margin for the full fiscal year;
 
●
Embeds a low-to-mid-20% tariff rate on U.S. inventory receipts in Fiscal 2027, resulting in a modest net benefit from tariffs year-over-year;
 
●
Embeds current global tax policies, including the impact of OECD Pillar Two guidance;
 
●
Includes foreign currency exchange rates using spot rates at the time of forecast;
 
●
Assumes no material worsening of inflationary pressures or consumer confidence.
 
Given the dynamic nature of these and other external factors, financial results could differ materially from the outlook provided.
 
Financial Outlook - Non-GAAP Adjustments:
 
The Company is not able to provide a full reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP presented in this release and on the Company’s conference call because certain material items that impact these measures have not yet occurred and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Management utilizes non-GAAP and constant currency measures to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected and to make decisions about Company resources and performance. The Company believes presenting these non-GAAP measures, which exclude items affecting comparability, is useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance and in understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. Additionally, the Company believes presenting these metrics on a constant currency basis will help investors and analysts to understand the effect of significant year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on these performance measures and provide a framework to assess how business is performing and expected to perform excluding these effects.
 
The Company reports information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company's management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures utilized by the Company may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
 
The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Percentage increases/decreases in net sales for the Company and each segment have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating foreign-denominated sales into U.S. dollars and compared to the same periods in the prior quarter and fiscal year. The Company calculates constant currency net sales results by translating current period net sales in local currency using the prior year period’s currency conversion rate. Due to the sale of Stuart Weitzman on August 4, 2025, the Company presents pro forma net sales and related growth rates, which exclude Stuart Weitzman’s Net sales from the prior year period. In the Summary of Pro Forma Revenue Information table, Greater China includes mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong SAR, and Macao SAR. Other Asia includes Australia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and other countries primarily within Asia. Other primarily represents royalties earned from the Company's licensing partners and sales in the Middle East.

The Company presents certain non-GAAP measures, including segment operating income (loss), segment SG&A expenses, segment gross profit, SG&A expense ratio, operating margin, Operating Income (loss), Provision for income taxes, Net income (loss) and Net Income (loss) per diluted common share, which exclude items affecting comparability such as Distribution Network Optimization Costs, Acquisition and Divestiture Costs and Organizational Efficiency Costs, as applicable. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the tables accompanying this release.
 
The Company also presents Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, and is calculated as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Purchases of property and equipment, adjusted for the cash impacts of Items affecting comparability included in operating cash flows related to Distribution Network Optimization Costs, Acquisition and Divestiture Costs and Organizational Efficiency Costs, and Changes in operating assets and liabilities of items affecting comparability. The Company believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available after capital expenditures for operational expenses, investment in our business and items affecting comparability. The Company believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it measures the Company’s ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet, invest in future growth and return capital to stockholders.
 
The Company also presents Leverage Ratio, which is a non-GAAP metric, and is calculated as total debt, which includes Current debt and Long-term debt, divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net Income (Loss), excluding: Interest expense, net; Provision for income taxes; Depreciation and amortization; Cloud Computing amortization; Share-based compensation; and Items affecting comparability including Distribution Network Optimization Costs, Acquisition and Divestiture Costs, Organizational Efficiency Costs and IEEPA tariff refunds. The Company believes that the Leverage Ratio is an important metric to assess the strength of our balance sheet and credit quality and demonstrates our commitment to maintaining an investment-grade credit rating.
