    NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF) today announced results for the second quarter ended August 2, 2025. These compare to results for the second quarter ended August 3, 2024. Descriptions of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures accompany this release.

    Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We delivered record second quarter net sales, exceeding our expectations, with 7% growth to last year. We continued to drive meaningful engagement with our teen customer in Hollister brands, growing 19% on strong summer and back-to-school demand. While we made progress on key inventory initiatives by leveraging promotions and testing new product concepts, Abercrombie brands net sales were down 5%, lapping 26% growth in the prior year. On the bottom line, we exceeded our second quarter profitability expectations, while also returning $50 million to shareholders through our sixth consecutive quarter of share repurchases.

    We entered the second half of 2025 on offense. We are increasing our full year net sales outlook, reflecting our strong positioning and growth trajectory, building on record 2024 results. Our team remains focused on delivering for our customers while investing to capitalize on the significant, long-term opportunities for our global brands."

    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.
