Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our record fourth quarter net sales marked our thirteenth consecutive quarter of growth, with both operating margin and earnings per share at the high end of expectations we shared in early January.

Reflecting on fiscal 2025, I'm proud of our accomplishments. We delivered record net sales with 6% growth and achieved our third straight year of double-digit operating margins, all while continuing to strengthen the business through investments in marketing, stores, people, and digital capabilities. Supported by $619 million in operating cash flow, we repurchased 5.4 million shares, representing 11% of shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, reinforcing our commitment to long term value creation and shareholder returns.

We entered fiscal 2026 with a strong foundation, including two globally relevant brands, a proven operating model, and a robust balance sheet, all managed by a world class team. Our goals for 2026 are to grow net sales, deliver another year of double-digit operating margin and grow earnings per share, all while making strategic investments that will fuel our long-term global ambition."

Reporting and Use of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

The company believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented are useful to investors as they provide a measure of the company's operating performance excluding the effect of certain items which the company believes do not reflect its future operating outlook, therefore supplementing investors' understanding of comparability of operations across periods. Management used these non-GAAP financial measures during the periods presented to assess the company's performance and to develop expectations for future operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be used supplementally to, and not as an alternative to, the company's GAAP financial results, and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies.

The company provides comparable sales, defined as the percentage year-over-year change in the aggregate of: (1) sales for stores that have been open as the same brand at least one year and whose square footage has not been expanded or reduced by more than 20% within the past year, with prior year's net sales converted at the current year's foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation, and (2) digital net sales with prior year's net sales converted at the current year's foreign currency exchange rate to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuation.

The company also provides certain financial information on a constant currency basis to enhance investors' understanding of underlying business trends and operating performance, by removing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year results and is net of the year-over-year impact from hedging. The per diluted share effect from foreign currency is calculated using a 26% tax rate.

In addition, the company provides EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures used by the company's executive management to assess the company's performance. We also believe these supplemental performance measures are meaningful information for investors and other interested parties to use in computing the company's core financial performance over multiple periods and with other companies by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions, debt service levels and capital investment.
