Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Turnaround And Cost Discipline
The sharp improvement in underlying EBITDA, together with savings above target, indicates meaningful progress in the turnaround rather than reliance on sales growth alone. Lower operating costs can support more durable profitability and provide operating leverage if revenue stabilizes.
Brand And Digital Growth
Growth across owned brands and digital channels strengthens KMD’s multi-channel model and reduces reliance on physical-store traffic alone. Kathmandu’s turnaround and Rip Curl’s online momentum can improve customer reach, channel economics, and the scalability of future revenue.
Refinanced Balance Sheet
The equity raise and longer-dated refinancing improve financial flexibility after a period of balance-sheet pressure. Lower leverage and extended funding maturity give management more capacity to execute the turnaround, invest selectively, and manage volatility over the next several years.
Bears Say
Persistent Losses And Margin Pressure
Sustained losses and the substantial 2026 impairment highlight that the turnaround has not yet translated into reliable statutory earnings. Margin compression also reduces the buffer available to absorb promotions, cost inflation, or weaker demand, keeping profitability recovery dependent on further execution.
Thin Equity Buffer And Weak Free Cash Flow
Higher leverage caused by reduced equity leaves KMD with less balance-sheet protection if trading weakens or investment needs rise. The collapse in free cash flow further limits internally generated funding, making continued cost control and disciplined working-capital management important to financial resilience.
Uneven Demand Across Brands
Underlying demand is uneven despite reported sales growth, with currency effects masking limited constant-currency expansion and notable weakness at Rip Curl and Ozmosis. This raises execution risk because stronger Kathmandu performance must offset challenged brands while store rationalization proceeds.

Earnings Call SentimentPositive
The call was predominantly positive, with management highlighting the first year of the Next Level turnaround, strong sales growth across all three brands, substantial underlying EBITDA improvement, cost savings above target, improved inventory productivity, technology completion and stronger FY 2027 EBITDA guidance. However, the statutory loss, large impairment, limited constant-currency sales growth, challenging consumer environment, Rip Curl constant-currency decline, Ozmosis weakness, elevated working capital and ongoing tariff and inflation pressures remain material challenges.
