    Release – ACCO Brands Reports Third Quarter Results

    Research News and Market Data on ACCO

    10/30/2025

    • Reported net sales of $384 million
    • Gross margin expanded; SG&A down compared to prior year
    • Multi-year cost reduction program has yielded more than $50 million of savings
    • Earnings per share of $0.04, adjusted earnings per share of $0.21, in line with the Company’s outlook

    LAKE ZURICH, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ACCO) today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine-months ended September 30, 2025.

    “We delivered third quarter adjusted EPS in line with our outlook and expanded gross margin by 50 basis points as we continue to demonstrate strong operational discipline through continued execution of our $100 million cost reduction program. Sales were lower than expected in the quarter, as the demand environment for many of our categories remained soft globally. We expect sales trends to improve in the fourth quarter, reflecting the favorable impact of foreign exchange and growth in the technology accessories categories,” stated ACCO Brands’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Tedford.

    “We are confident in our ability to deliver future value creation for our shareholders. Our teams continue to execute on our cost management initiatives, while remaining focused on enhancing our revenue opportunities. Innovation is core to our strategy; the fourth quarter new product launches will help abate the secular headwinds, while we also evaluate strategic opportunities that align with our growth objectives. We believe our leading brands, combined with our optimized operational structure, give us a strong platform for growth,” concluded Mr. Tedford.

    Third Quarter Results

    Net sales were $383.7 million, down 8.8 percent from $420.9 million in 2024. Favorable foreign exchange increased sales by $6.5 million, or 1.5 percent. Comparable sales decreased 10.3 percent. The decline in net sales reflects softer global demand for our products.

    Operating income was $26.0 million, versus $26.3 million in 2024. Restructuring expense was $1.5 million, compared to $6.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $39.2 million, compared to $44.7 million in 2024. The decline in adjusted operating income reflects lower sales volume, lower fixed-cost absorption, and tariff-related impacts, which were partially offset by cost savings and lower incentive compensation expense.

    Net income was $4.0 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with prior-year net income of $9.3 million, or $0.09 per share. The decline in net income reflects items noted above in operating income, as well as discrete tax items and other expense of $5.5 million, compared to $0.2 million of a reversal in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $19.5 million, compared with adjusted net income of $22.5 million in 2024, and adjusted earnings per share were $0.21, compared with $0.23 in 2024.

    Business Segment Results

    ACCO Brands Americas – Third quarter segment net sales of $227.6 million decreased 12.2 percent from $259.1 million in the prior year. Net sales in the quarter were negatively impacted by softer demand for our product categories, partly offset by price increases.

    Third quarter operating income was $24.7 million, compared to $25.9 million a year earlier. Restructuring expense associated with the multi-year cost reduction program was $0.6 million, compared to $3.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $32.7 million, down from $36.7 million in the prior year. The decrease in adjusted operating income reflects lower sales volume, lower fixed-cost absorption and impacts from tariffs, partially offset by cost savings and price.

    ACCO Brands International – Third quarter segment net sales of $156.1 million decreased 3.5 percent from $161.8 million in the prior year. Favorable foreign exchange increased sales by 3.8 percent. Comparable sales were $150.0 million, down 7.3 percent versus the prior year. Comparable sales declines reflect reduced demand for our product categories, partially offset by the benefit of price increases and the acquisition of Buro Seating.

    Third quarter operating income was $10.5 million, compared to $9.5 million in the prior year. Restructuring expense associated with the multi-year cost reduction program of $1.1 million, compared to $3.3 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $15.9 million, compared with $17.1 million in the prior year. The decrease in adjusted operating income reflects the impact of lower sales volume, partially offset by pricing actions and cost savings.

    Nine Month Results

    Net sales were $1,095.9 million, down 10.0 percent from $1,218.1 million in 2024. Net sales declines reflect the impact from softer global demand and tariff-related impacts.

    Operating income was $52.3 million, versus an operating loss of $79.0 million in 2024, primarily due to non-cash impairment charges of $165.2 million related to goodwill and intangible assets within the Americas segment in the prior year. Restructuring expense of $13.2 million, compared to $6.1 million in the prior year. Current year operating income benefited from a gain on sale of assets of $6.9 million. Adjusted operating income was $93.2 million, down from $125.5 million in 2024. Adjusted operating income decline reflects lower sales volume and tariff related impacts, which were partially offset by cost savings and lower incentive compensation expense.

    Net income was $20.0 million, or $0.21 per share, compared with a net loss of $122.2 million, or $(1.27) per share, in 2024. Net income in the nine-month period was positively impacted by the same items noted above in operating income. Current year net income was also positively impacted by the settlement of outstanding tax assessments in Brazil, resulting in a benefit of $13.1 million. The prior year loss reflects the items noted above in operating income. Adjusted net income was $43.3 million, compared with $61.7 million in 2024, and adjusted earnings per share were $0.46 per share, compared with $0.63 per share in 2024.

    Capital Allocation and Dividend

    Year to date, operating cash flow was $38.1 million versus $95.5 million in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow of $42.3 million compared to $86.9 million in the prior year. The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as of September 30, 2025 was 4.1x.

    Year to date, the Company has paid dividends of $20.3 million. In the first quarter, the Company repurchased 3.2 million shares of common stock for $15.1 million.

    On October 24, 2025, ACCO Brands announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend will be paid on December 10, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2025.

    Reaffirming Full Year 2025 Outlook

    For the full year, the Company expects reported sales to be down in the range of 7.0% to 8.5%. Full year adjusted EPS is expected to be within the range of $0.83 to $0.90. The Company expects 2025 adjusted free cash flow to be within the range of approximately $90 million to $100 million, which includes $17 million in cash proceeds from the sale of two facilities.

    “While we navigate the uncertain demand environment, we continue to focus on our faster growing categories. Our proven ability to manage costs and generate cash flow, combined with our market-leading brands and operational excellence, gives us confidence in our long-term value creation potential,” concluded Mr. Tedford.

    In addition to financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we have provided certain non-GAAP financial information in this earnings release to aid investors in understanding the Company’s performance. Each non-GAAP financial measure is defined and reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this earnings release.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Statements contained herein, other than statements of historical fact, particularly those anticipating future financial performance, business prospects, growth, strategies, business operations and similar matters, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and those relating to cost reductions and anticipated pre-tax savings and restructuring costs are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management based on information available to us at the time such statements are made. These statements, which are generally identifiable by the use of the words “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “future”, “project,” “plan,” and similar expressions, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no duty or obligation to update them. Forward-looking statements are subject to the occurrence of events outside the Company’s control and actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those suggested or implied by such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Investors and others are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements when deciding whether to buy, sell or hold the Company’s securities.

    Our outlook is based on certain assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These include, without limitation, assumptions regarding consumer demand, tariffs, global geopolitical and economic uncertainties, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and the other factors described below.

    Among the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are: changes in trade policy and regulations, including changes in trade agreements and the imposition of tariffs, and the resulting consequences; global political and economic uncertainties; a limited number of large customers account for a significant percentage of our sales; sales of our products are affected by general economic and business conditions globally and in the countries in which we operate; risks associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; challenges related to the highly competitive business environment in which we operate; our ability to develop and market innovative products that meet consumer demands and to expand into new and adjacent product categories; our ability to successfully expand our business in emerging markets and the exposure to greater financial, operational, regulatory, compliance and other risks in such markets; the continued decline in the use of certain of our products; risks associated with seasonality, the sufficiency of investment returns on pension assets, risks related to actuarial assumptions, changes in government regulations and changes in the unfunded liabilities of a multi-employer pension plan; any impairment of our intangible assets; our ability to secure, protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, and our ability to license rights from major gaming console makers and video game publishers to support our gaming accessories business; our ability to grow profitably through acquisitions, and successfully integrate them; our ability to successfully execute our multi-year restructuring and cost savings program and realize the anticipated benefits; continued disruptions in the global supply chain; risks associated with inflation and other changes in the cost or availability of raw materials, transportation, labor, and other necessary supplies and services and the cost of finished goods; risks associated with outsourcing production of certain of our products, information technology systems and other administrative functions; the failure, inadequacy or interruption of our information technology systems or their supporting infrastructure; risks associated with a cybersecurity incident or information security breach, including that related to a disclosure of personally identifiable information; risks associated with our indebtedness, including limitations imposed by restrictive covenants, our debt service obligations, and our ability to comply with financial ratios and tests; a change in or discontinuance of our stock repurchase program or the payment of dividends; product liability claims, recalls or regulatory actions; the impact of litigation or other legal proceedings; the impact of additional tax liabilities stemming from our global operations and changes in tax laws, regulations and tax rates; our failure to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations and self-regulatory requirements, the costs of compliance and the impact of changes in such laws; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the volatility of our stock price; risks associated with circumstances outside our control, including those caused by telecommunication failures, labor strikes, power and/or water shortages, public health crises, such as the occurrence of contagious diseases, severe weather events, war, terrorism and other geopolitical incidents; and other risks and uncertainties described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Release – 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results

    Research News and Market Data on FLWS

    Oct 30, 2025

    Reports Revenue of $215.2 Million and a Net Loss of $53.0 Million

    JERICHO, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), a leading provider of thoughtful expressions designed to help inspire customers to give more, connect more, and build more and better relationships, today reported results for its Fiscal 2026 first quarter ended September 28, 2025.

    “Fiscal 2026 marks a pivotal year of stabilization for 1-800-Flowers.com, as we lay the foundation for sustainable, long-term growth. We are already seeing early benefits from our turnaround strategy, including improved marketing efficiency, enhanced customer focus, and expanded reach into new channels. Welcoming new talent and streamlining our operations have positioned us to execute with greater agility and accountability. While there is much more work ahead and some challenges to navigate, I am encouraged by the momentum building across the enterprise and am confident in our team’s ability to deliver improved results over time,” said Adolfo Villagomez, Chief Executive Officer.

    “Profitability trends improved throughout the quarter thanks to better marketing spend effectiveness, though timing factors impacted results for September. Alongside our marketing contribution margin improvements this quarter, we continued to advance our cost optimization initiatives. Building on the $17 million in savings we implemented during Fiscal 2025, we now anticipate achieving an additional $50 million in gross savings over the next two years, prior to any associated costs,” said James Langrock, Chief Financial Officer.

    Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Performance

    • Total consolidated revenues decreased 11.1% to $215.2 million, compared with the prior year period mainly due to a strategic shift that is focused on marketing effectiveness and profitability, combined with changes in wholesale order timing from the first quarter a year ago into the second quarter of this fiscal year.
    • Gross profit margin decreased 240 basis points to 35.7%, compared with 38.1% in the prior year period, primarily due to deleveraging on the sales decline.
    • Operating expenses decreased $12.0 million to $127.3 million, compared with the prior year period, primarily due to lower marketing and labor costs. Excluding non-recurring charges and the impact of the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan in both periods, operating expenses declined $10.9 million as compared with the prior year to $124.9 million.
    • Net loss for the quarter was ($53.0) million, or ($0.83) per share, compared with a net loss of ($34.2) million, or ($0.53) per share in the prior year period.
    • Adjusted Net Loss1 was ($53.0) million, or ($0.83) per share, compared with an Adjusted Net Loss1 of ($32.9) million, or ($0.51) per share, in the prior year period.
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 loss for the quarter was ($32.9) million, compared with an Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of ($27.9) million in the prior year period.

    (1) Refer to “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables attached at the end of this press release for reconciliation of non-GAAP results to applicable GAAP results.)

    Segment Results

    The Company provides Fiscal 2026 first quarter selected financial results for its Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets, Consumer Floral & Gifts, and BloomNet® segments in the tables attached to this release and as follows:

    • Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets: For the quarter, revenues declined 8.6% to $76.8 million, as compared with the prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased 340 basis points from the prior year period to 28.6% due to deleveraging on the sales decline and increased commodity and shipping costs. The segment contribution margin1 loss was $13.4 million, compared with $11.3 million in the prior year period, excluding system implementation costs.
    • Consumer Floral & Gifts: For the quarter, revenues declined 14.6% to $115.4 million, as compared with the prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased 200 basis points from the prior year period to 37.9% due to deleveraging on the sales decline and increased commodity and shipping costs. The segment contribution margin1 was $4.5 million, compared with $4.9 million in the prior year period.
    • BloomNet: For the quarter, revenues were $23.1 million, essentially flat as compared with a year ago. Gross profit margin decreased 230 basis points from the prior year period to 47.7%, due to higher florist fulfillment costs and rebates, a higher cost of merchandise, and a less favorable mix between wholesale and service revenue. The segment contribution margin1 was $5.9 million, compared with $6.8 million in the prior year period.

    Fiscal 2026

    The Company is approaching Fiscal Year 2026 as a pivotal period of foundation setting. By transforming 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. into a customer-centric, data-driven organization with clear objectives and ROI-focused decision making, the Company aims to position itself to fuel future growth.

    • building a customer-centric and data-driven organization,
    • broadening our reach beyond our e-commerce sites into new channels, and
    • strengthening our team through enhanced talent and accountability.

    With a renewed commitment to agility and customer-centricity, the Company believes these foundational steps will set the stage for sustainable revenue and profit growth in the years to come.

    Conference Call

    The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results today, October 30, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. (ET).

A recording of the call will be posted on the Investors section of the Company’s website within two hours of the call’s completion.

    Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures:

    We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information, but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this document are either labeled as “non-GAAP,” “adjusted” or designated as such with a “1”. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the Selected Financial Information below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for forward-looking figures would require unreasonable efforts at this time because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain components of various necessary GAAP components, including, for example, those related to compensation, tax items, amortization or others that may arise during the year, and the Company’s management believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The lack of such reconciling information should be considered when assessing the impact of such disclosures.

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

    We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”) investment appreciation/depreciation, and for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented. The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it considers such information meaningful supplemental measures of its performance and believes such information is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as factors to determine the total amount of incentive compensation available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company’s credit agreement uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-related items to determine its interest rate and to measure compliance with certain covenants. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (a) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; (b) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company’s performance.

    Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin

    We define Segment Contribution Margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is defined as Segment Contribution Margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin were calculated for each period presented. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin provide management and users of the financial statements meaningful information about the performance of our business segments. Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is that they are an incomplete measure of profitability as they do not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for this limitation when using these measures by looking at other GAAP measures, such as Operating Income and Net Income.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

    We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share as Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information below for details on how Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share were calculated for each period presented. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results. Since these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

    Free Cash Flow:

    We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company considers Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of fixed assets, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the Company’s business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet, and repurchase stock or retire debt. Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure that is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. Since Free Cash Flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. A limitation of the utility of Free Cash Flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company’s cash balance for the period.

    Superior Group of Companies (SGC) – Looking Beyond The Third Quarter


    Thursday, October 23, 2025

    Michael Kupinski, Director of Research, Equity Research Analyst, Digital, Media & Technology , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

    Jacob Mutchler, Research Associate, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

    Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

    Q3 Preview. We expect that there will be some impact on the third quarter from the “pull forward” in Branded Product revenue into the second quarter as consumers reacted ahead of possible trade policy changes. As such, we are modestly lowering our Q3 revenue and earnings expectations, highlighted in Figure #1 Q3 Revisions. 

    Largest variance. The largest adjustment to our Q3 revenue estimate is in Branded Products, revised from $89.8 million to $85.0 million. In our view, this segment offers one of the largest upside surprise potential in Q4, which could benefit from an improving macro economy.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information about the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this press release for a reconciliation of GAAP measures to such non-GAAP measures.

    For the second quarter ended August 2, 2025:

    • Total Company net sales decreased 1.3% to $73.2 million compared to $74.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year decrease was driven by a 5.1% decline in the wholesale segment partially offset by a 5.5% increase in direct-to-consumer segment. The decline in the wholesale segment was primarily due to the shift in timing of fall shipments compared to the prior year as a result of the earlier uncertainty with respect to tariff policies and impact.
    • Gross profit was $36.9 million, or 50.4% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $35.1 million, or 47.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by approximately 340 basis points due to the favorable impact of lower product costing and higher pricing, and approximately 210 basis points due to the favorable impact of lower discounting, partially offset by approximately 170 basis points due to higher tariffs, and approximately 100 basis points due to increased freight costs.
    • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $25.8 million, or 35.2% of sales, compared to $34.0 million, or 45.8% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in SG&A dollars was primarily driven by the receipt of payroll tax credit payments from the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Employee Retention Credit program (the “ERC benefit”). The ERC benefit was approximately $7.2 million, of which $5.6 million related to the original payroll tax credit claims and was recorded in SG&A as an offset to compensation expenses, with the remaining $1.6 million of interest payments recorded as Other income.
    • Income from operations was $11.2 million compared to income from operations of $1.1 million in the same period last year. Excluding the payments from the ERC benefit, Adjusted income from operations* was $5.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
    • Income tax expense was $0.1 million, which represents a discrete tax expense relating to interest received in connection with the ERC benefit. The Company has year-to-date ordinary pre-tax losses and is anticipating annual ordinary pre-tax income for the fiscal year. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the year-to-date ordinary pre-tax loss will not be realized in the current or future years and as such, tax provisions for the interim periods should not be recognized until the Company has year-to-date ordinary pre-tax income. The tax provision in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compares to an income tax benefit of $0.8 million in the same period last year.
    • Net income was $12.1 million or $0.93 per diluted share compared to net income of $0.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the same period last year. Excluding the payments from the ERC benefit and its discrete tax effect, the Adjusted net income* was $4.9 million or $0.38 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
    • Adjusted EBITDA* was $6.7 million compared to $2.7 million in the same period last year.
    • The Company ended the quarter with 58 company-operated Vince stores, a net decrease of 3 stores since the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

    Second Quarter Review

    • Net sales decreased 1.3% to $73.2 million as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
    • Wholesale segment sales decreased 5.1% to $44.8 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
    • Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 5.5% to $28.5 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
    • Income from operations excluding unallocated corporate expenses was $17.3 million compared to income from operations of $15.3 million in the same period last year.

    Net Sales and Operating Results by Segment:

    Balance Sheet

    At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, total borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements totaled $31.1 million and the Company had $42.6 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.

    Net inventory at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $76.7 million compared to $66.3 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase in inventory was driven by approximately $5.2 million higher inventory carrying value due to tariffs as well as our strategic decision to ship goods earlier in advance of the expiration of reciprocal tariff extensions.

    During the quarter ended August 2, 2025, the Company did not issue shares of common stock under the ATM program. The Company continues to have shares available under the program to exercise with proceeds to be used as sources, along with cash from operations, to fund future growth.

    Outlook

    For the third quarter of fiscal 2025 the Company expects the following:

    • Net sales to be approximately flat to up 3% compared to the prior year period.

    • Adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales to be approximately 1% to 4%.

    • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales to be approximately 2% to 5%.

    The above guidance assumes $4 million to $5 million in expected incremental tariff costs, of which the Company expects to mitigate approximately 50% through changes to country of origin, vendor negotiations as well as select and strategic price increases.

    Given the uncertainty related to the potential impact and duration of current tariff policy, the Company is not providing guidance for the full year fiscal 2025.

    Strategic Partnership with Authentic Brands Group

    On May 25, 2023, the Company announced that it completed the previously announced transaction (the “Authentic Transaction”) with Authentic Brands Group (“Authentic”).

    In connection with the Authentic Transaction, VNCE entered into an exclusive, long-term license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Authentic for usage of the contributed intellectual property for VNCE’s existing business in a manner consistent with the Company’s current wholesale, retail and e-commerce operations. The License Agreement contains an initial ten-year term and eight ten-year renewal options allowing VNCE to renew the agreement.

    *Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided, with respect to the financial results relating to the three and six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, capitalized cloud computing amortization, ERC benefit, and gain on sale of Rebecca Taylor, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (“Gain on Sale of Subsidiary”). For the three and six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively, the Company has provided adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted income (loss) before income taxes and equity in net income (loss) of equity method investment, adjusted income (loss) before equity in net income (loss) of equity method investment, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings (loss) per share, which are non-GAAP measures, in order to eliminate the effect of the ERC benefit, Discrete Tax Effect Associated with ERC benefit, and Gain on Sale of Subsidiary.

    The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures facilitates an understanding of the Company’s continuing operations without the impact associated with the aforementioned items. While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are excluded from the indicated financial information due to their impact on the comparability of earnings across periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this press release.
