Executive summary
Net revenue rose 5.5% year-over-year to $772.9 million for the quarter ended August 2, 2025, with adjusted net earnings of $13.8 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.26, excluding significant one-time items.
GAAP net earnings were $6.2 million versus a $10.6 million loss in the prior year; adjusted net earnings fell 40% to $13.8 million.
Operating margin declined to 2.3% from 6.5% due to higher expenses, increased markdowns, and the absence of a prior-year gain on asset sales.
A proposed take-private transaction with Authentic Brands Group was announced, offering $16.75 per share in cash to shareholders (excluding certain insiders), expected to close in Q4 FY26, pending regulatory and shareholder approval.
Financial highlights
Gross margin decreased 120 basis points to 42.5% due to higher markdowns and unfavorable business mix.

Net earnings attributable to the company were $6.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $10.6 million, or $(0.28) per share, in the prior-year quarter.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
