Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its virtual-only 2026 annual meeting on June 18, 2026. The agenda includes electing eight director nominees, an advisory Say on Pay vote, and ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.
The proxy highlights strong fiscal 2025 results, including comparable brand revenue growth of 3.5%, gross margin of 46.2%, operating income of $1.42 billion with an 18.1% operating margin, and record diluted EPS of $8.84. Return on invested capital was 42.3% and Adjusted ROIC 51.6%, with operating cash flow of $1.3 billion and three- and five-year total stockholder returns of 241% and 249%, both far above the peer group and S&P 500.
The Board emphasizes a largely independent, diverse slate (7 of 8 nominees independent; 50% gender and/or racially diverse) with deep retail, consumer, financial, technology and sustainability experience. Executive pay is structured around pay-for-performance, heavy use of PSUs and RSUs, stock ownership requirements, and an established clawback policy, with last year’s Say on Pay receiving about 85% support. The proxy also details director compensation, stock ownership guidelines, and the company’s governance, risk, sustainability, and cybersecurity oversight frameworks.
