Direct-to-consumer (D2C) revenue grew (+6% reported, +3% constant currency) and e-commerce sales increased +11% reported (+6% constant currency). APAC revenue up ~6% constant currency (10% reported) with D2C up double digits in the region; Americas D2C grew low single digits.
Margin and Profitability Resilience
Gross margin was 58.6%, unchanged year-over-year despite significant tariff headwinds. Q1 EBIT was $131M. EPS outperformance was aided by lower tax and interest expense. Company reaffirmed full-year operating margin target and expects gross margin to be up ~100 bps year-over-year (including tariff refund benefit).
Inventory and Supply Chain Improvements
Inventory at quarter end was down 5% versus prior year. Management cited better availability, improved on-time deliveries, healthier inventory productivity and go-to-market margins on plan for both brands.
Brand and Category Momentum
Momentum across key categories and consumer segments: Calvin Klein D2C underwear grew mid-single digits and denim grew double digits; Tommy Hilfiger D2C sweaters and outerwear grew double digits. Successful collaborations and activations: John Cook x Calvin Klein saw 99% sell-through on Tmall and pop-up sell-outs; Travis Kelce announced as Tommy global ambassador, driving significant earned media.
Tariff Refunds and Capital Priorities
Outlook includes an expected ~$100M tariff refund benefit to EBIT (to be recognized in Q2, ~100 bps benefit to full-year operating margin). Company still assumes gross tariff cost of approximately $195M (blended rate ~15%). Capital plan: ~ $250M capex and at least $300M of share repurchases for the year remain intact.
