Thank you for joining us on the call today to discuss the results for our fourth quarter and fiscal year-end. Joining me on today's call are Michelle Gass, our President and CEO; and Harmit Singh, our Chief Financial and Growth Officer. We'd like to remind you that we will be making forward-looking statements based on current expectations, and those statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.

Thank you, and welcome, everyone, to today's call. The fourth quarter punctuated a strong year, defined by progress against our strategy, accelerating brand momentum and solid financial performance. Over the past 2 years, we've taken bold steps on our journey to become a DTC-first head-to-toe denim lifestyle retailer.

We've made deliberate strategic choices to maximize the potential of the Levi's brand, narrow our focus by exiting noncore businesses and vigorously pursue our highest-return growth opportunities. We are becoming a more consumer-focused DTC-centric lifestyle company, which has led to faster growth and higher profitability. These efforts led to strong full year financial results. In 2025, we delivered organic net revenue growth of 7%, which was broad-based across all facets of our business. Here are a few key highlights for the year. As a reminder, all numbers Harmit and I will reference are on an organic basis.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฆฌ๋ฐ”์ด์Šค ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ๊ทน๋Œ€ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ , ๋น„ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์ •๋ฆฌํ•˜์—ฌ ์‚ฌ์—… ์ง‘์ค‘๋„๋ฅผ ๋†’์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์ ๊ทน์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ถ”๊ตฌํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ „๋žต์  ์„ ํƒ์„ ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ณด๋‹ค ์†Œ๋น„์ž ์ค‘์‹ฌ์ ์ด๊ณ  DTC(์ง์ ‘ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ํŒ๋งค) ์ค‘์‹ฌ์˜ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ ๊ธฐ์—…์œผ๋กœ ๋ณ€๋ชจํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋” ๋น ๋ฅธ ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ๋” ๋†’์€ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์œผ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ๋“ค์€ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์žฌ๋ฌด ์‹ค์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ฌ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 7%์˜ ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๋ชจ๋“  ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ฌํ•ด์˜ ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ฃผ์š” ํ•˜์ด๋ผ์ดํŠธ๋ฅผ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฐธ๊ณ ๋กœ, ํ•˜๋ฐ‹๊ณผ ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•  ๋ชจ๋“  ์ˆ˜์น˜๋Š” ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ๊ธฐ์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
First, the Levi's brand grew 7% and Levi's strengthened its standing as the #1 denim brand in the world and today, holds more market share than the next 2 global competitors combined. Second, we took a big step forward in our evolution to becoming a true lifestyle apparel brand by bringing to market our most robust head-to-toe product pipeline to date. This drove growth across channels and meaningfully increased our total addressable market. Third, we accelerated our DTC transformation, growing 11%, which now comprises approximately half of our total business.๋จผ์ €, ๋ฆฌ๋ฐ”์ด์Šค ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋Š” 7% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ์„ธ๊ณ„ 1์œ„ ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋กœ์„œ์˜ ์ž…์ง€๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ 2์œ„์™€ 3์œ„๋ฅผ ํ•ฉ์นœ ๊ฒƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ๋ณด์œ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘˜์งธ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ง€๊ธˆ๊นŒ์ง€ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํ—ค๋“œํˆฌํ† (head-to-toe) ์ œํ’ˆ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์„ ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์ถœ์‹œํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ ์ง„์ •ํ•œ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ ์˜๋ฅ˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋กœ ์ง„ํ™”ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ํฐ ์ง„์ „์„ ์ด๋ฃจ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์ฑ„๋„์—์„œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ „์ฒด ์ž ์žฌ์‹œ์žฅ(TAM)์„ ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์…‹์งธ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” DTC(์ง์ ‘ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ํŒ๋งค) ์ „ํ™˜์„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•˜์—ฌ 11% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ ์ „์ฒด ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์•ฝ ์ ˆ๋ฐ˜์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Importantly, we saw significant DTC margin expansion in 2025 as we delivered high single-digit comp growth for the year and a more efficient operating structure in both stores and e-commerce. Fourth, our wholesale channel continued to deliver more stable growth, ending the year up 4%, fueled by our expanded lifestyle assortment as well as new distribution. Fifth, our growth in women's continued to accelerate, up 11% for the year, with both tops and bottoms delivering double-digit growth in addition to 5% growth in men's. And while we drove significant top line growth, we also delivered our highest ever gross margin as well as adjusted EBIT margin expansion.์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€, 2025๋…„์— DTC ๋งˆ์ง„์ด ํฌ๊ฒŒ ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜์—ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ํ›„๋ฐ˜์˜ ๊ธฐ์กด์  ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋งค์žฅ๊ณผ ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๋ณด๋‹ค ํšจ์œจ์ ์ธ ์šด์˜ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋ฅผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋„ท์งธ, ๋„๋งค ์ฑ„๋„์€ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ด์–ด๊ฐ€๋ฉฐ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ 4% ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ๋งˆ๊ฐํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํ™•๋Œ€๋œ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ ์ œํ’ˆ ๊ตฌ์ƒ‰๊ณผ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์œ ํ†ต๋ง ํ™•๋ณด์— ํž˜์ž…์€ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์„ฏ์งธ, ์—ฌ์„ฑ๋ณต ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ด ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜์–ด ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ 11% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ƒ์˜์™€ ํ•˜์˜ ๋ชจ๋‘ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๋‚จ์„ฑ๋ณต๋„ 5% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๋Š” ๋™์‹œ์—, ์‚ฌ์ƒ ์ตœ๊ณ ์˜ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ๊ณผ ์กฐ์ • EBIT ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•๋Œ€๋„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Now turning to details of the fourth quarter. Total company revenues increased 5% on top of 8% growth last year. And this momentum continued through the holidays with 7% growth during the November, December holiday season, reflecting strength across both DTC and wholesale channels. This marked our highest revenue for the holiday period in at least a decade. First, I will walk you through the progress made against our brand-led strategy, which centers around how we're amplifying the power of the Levi's brand through an innovative and fresh product pipeline and culturally relevant marketing. In Q4, the Levi's brand grew 4%, driven by strength in men's and even higher growth in women's.์ด์ œ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์„ธ๋ถ€ ๋‚ด์šฉ์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „์‚ฌ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ „๋…„๋„ 8% ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ์ด์–ด 5% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์€ ์—ฐํœด ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์—๋„ ์ง€์†๋˜์–ด 11์›”๊ณผ 12์›” ํ™€๋ฆฌ๋ฐ์ด ์‹œ์ฆŒ ๋™์•ˆ 7% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” DTC์™€ ๋„๋งค ์ฑ„๋„ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ์˜ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ตœ์†Œ 10๋…„ ๋งŒ์— ํ™€๋ฆฌ๋ฐ์ด ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ์ตœ๊ณ  ๋งค์ถœ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋จผ์ €, ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์ฃผ๋„ ์ „๋žต์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง„์ „ ์ƒํ™ฉ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ „๋žต์€ ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ด๊ณ  ์‹ ์„ ํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ๊ณผ ๋ฌธํ™”์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ด€๋ จ์„ฑ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ…์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋ฆฌ๋ฐ”์ด์Šค ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ํŒŒ์›Œ๋ฅผ ์ฆํญ์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์„ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋ฆฌ๋ฐ”์ด์Šค ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋Š” ๋‚จ์„ฑ๋ณต์˜ ๊ฐ•์„ธ์™€ ์—ฌ์„ฑ๋ณต์˜ ๋”์šฑ ๋†’์€ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด 4% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Growth in men's and women's continues to be driven by both our core as well as the newness we've introduced throughout our assortment. A testament to the strength of the brand, in 2025, we cemented our #1 position in men's, women's and in our key youth demographic of 18- to 30-year olds in the U.S. These share gains are supported by strong brand heat, reflected by higher social media engagement and meaningful gains in brand equity versus last year. In Q4, we continued to fuel our global brand momentum while strengthening our relevance in local markets. We unveiled a number of unique collaborations.๋‚จ์„ฑ๋ณต๊ณผ ์—ฌ์„ฑ๋ณต์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ๊ณผ ๋”๋ถˆ์–ด ์ „์ฒด ์ œํ’ˆ ๊ตฌ์„ฑ์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ๋„์ž…ํ•œ ์‹ ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ชจ๋‘์— ์˜ํ•ด ๊ฒฌ์ธ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ํŒŒ์›Œ๋ฅผ ์ž…์ฆํ•˜๋“ฏ, 2025๋…„์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๋‚จ์„ฑ๋ณต, ์—ฌ์„ฑ๋ณต, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์ Š์€ ์†Œ๋น„์ธต์ธ 18์„ธ์—์„œ 30์„ธ ์—ฐ๋ น๋Œ€์—์„œ 1์œ„ ์ž๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ํ™•๊ณ ํžˆ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ์ ์œ ์œจ ํ™•๋Œ€๋Š” ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์—ด๊ธฐ์— ํž˜์ž…์€ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ, ์†Œ์…œ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ์ฐธ์—ฌ๋„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์™€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์ž์‚ฐ์˜ ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฐœ์„ ์—์„œ ํ™•์ธํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•˜๋Š” ๋™์‹œ์— ํ˜„์ง€ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ์˜ ์ ํ•ฉ์„ฑ์„ ๋†’์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋…ํŠนํ•œ ํ˜‘์—… ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์„ ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Examples of these include a premium collection with Barbour and a limited edition footwear launch with Nike and Japanese streetwear icon, Nigo. We celebrated our final chapter of the REIIMAGINE campaign with Beyoncรฉ and launched our global campaign targeted at men featuring Shaboozey and Matty Matheson. And we also reinforced our long-standing link to music culture by celebrating a full decade as an official sponsor of Corona Capital, Mexico's largest music festival, putting the brand front and center in our second largest market.

Our evolution into denim lifestyle is resonating, and the Levi's brand is gaining even more share of the closet as our tops business continues to accelerate. The tops reset we initiated a few years ago, bringing in new internal talent, new vendors and enhanced capabilities is paying off today. In Q4, tops grew double digits, driving nearly half of our revenue growth and meaningfully higher AURs versus last year. Strength was broad-based, reflecting growth across men's and women's, which was driven by strong demand in our elevated assortment of sweaters, wovens and outerwear. Tops will continue to be instrumental to our denim lifestyle strategy.์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ๋กœ์˜ ์ง„ํ™”๋Š” ๊ณต๊ฐ์„ ์–ป๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ƒ์˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์ด ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ Levi's ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋Š” ์˜ท์žฅ ๋‚ด ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ๋”์šฑ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ˆ˜๋…„ ์ „ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•œ ์ƒ์˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ์žฌํŽธ์„ฑ - ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋‚ด๋ถ€ ์ธ์žฌ ์˜์ž…, ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๊ณต๊ธ‰์—…์ฒด ํ™•๋ณด, ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰ ๊ฐ•ํ™” - ์ด ์˜ค๋Š˜๋‚  ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ƒ์˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜๋ฉฐ ์ „์ฒด ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์˜ ๊ฑฐ์˜ ์ ˆ๋ฐ˜์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ํ‰๊ท  ๋‹จ๊ฐ€(AUR)๋„ ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ์ƒ์Šนํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋Š” ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ฌ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์Šค์›จํ„ฐ, ์šฐ๋ธ ์…”์ธ , ์•„์šฐํ„ฐ์›จ์–ด์˜ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด ๋‚จ์„ฑ๋ณต๊ณผ ์—ฌ์„ฑ๋ณต ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ์˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ ์ „๋žต์— ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ํ•ต์‹ฌ์ ์ธ ์—ญํ• ์„ ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And while we're pleased about our progress to date, we are just getting started as a destination for the tops category. Within our bottoms business, we are showcasing our most diversified portfolio yet with everything from our core icon to our innovative fashion fits and non-denim bottoms, all delivering growth. While skinny and straight fits remain popular, loose and baggy styles continue to accelerate. New styles like the 578 Baggy for him and our expanding Barrel family for her are fueling momentum as we own more of the denim market in both his and her closet.๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ๊นŒ์ง€์˜ ์ง„์ „์— ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ƒ์˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ชฉ์ ์ง€๋กœ์„œ ์ด์ œ ๋ง‰ ์‹œ์ž‘ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์˜ ์‚ฌ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์•„์ด์ฝ˜ ์ œํ’ˆ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ํŒจ์…˜ ํ•๊ณผ ๋น„๋ฐ๋‹˜ ํ•˜์˜๊นŒ์ง€ ๋ชจ๋“  ์ œํ’ˆ์ด ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๋ฉฐ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ™”๋œ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋ฅผ ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์Šคํ‚ค๋‹ˆ์™€ ์ŠคํŠธ๋ ˆ์ดํŠธ ํ•์ด ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์ธ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฐ€์šด๋ฐ, ๋ฃจ์ฆˆ์™€ ๋ฐฐ๊ธฐ ์Šคํƒ€์ผ์ด ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‚จ์„ฑ์šฉ 578 ๋ฐฐ๊ธฐ์™€ ์—ฌ์„ฑ์šฉ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ฐฐ๋Ÿด ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ๊ณผ ๊ฐ™์€ ์‹ ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์ด ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์„ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋‚จ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์—ฌ์„ฑ ์˜ท์žฅ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In Q4, we successfully completed the global rollout of our Blue Tab collection, which represents the most premium expression of our brand. While we are still in the early stages, the strong consumer response to this collection gives us conviction in the opportunity in the premium segment of the market, which is sizable and largely underpenetrated by the Levi's brand. In 2026, we will further expand the assortment and roll it out more broadly across our DTC business as well as select premium wholesale accounts. Looking to 2026, we entered the year with a robust product pipeline and a brand that's more culturally relevant than ever.4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ํ•œ ํ‘œํ˜„์„ ๋Œ€ํ‘œํ•˜๋Š” Blue Tab ์ปฌ๋ ‰์…˜์˜ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์ถœ์‹œ๋ฅผ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ์™„๋ฃŒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์ง ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด ์ปฌ๋ ‰์…˜์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ฐ˜์‘์€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์‹œ์žฅ ์„ธ๊ทธ๋จผํŠธ์—์„œ์˜ ๊ธฐํšŒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ™•์‹ ์„ ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•˜๋ฉฐ Levi's ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ์นจํˆฌ์œจ์ด ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๋‚ฎ์€ ์˜์—ญ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„์—๋Š” ์ œํ’ˆ ๊ตฌ์ƒ‰์„ ๋”์šฑ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  DTC ์‚ฌ์—… ์ „๋ฐ˜๊ณผ ์—„์„ ๋œ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ๋„๋งค ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์ฒ˜์— ๋” ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์ถœ์‹œํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„์„ ์ „๋งํ•˜๋ฉด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํƒ„ํƒ„ํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ๊ณผ ๊ทธ ์–ด๋А ๋•Œ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋ฌธํ™”์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ด€๋ จ์„ฑ์ด ๋†’์€ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
For the first time in more than 20 years, Levi's will debut its newest ad during the Super Bowl, which will be hosted at Levi's Stadium, marking the launch of our new global campaign that will run through 2026. With this kickoff and more major global moments to come, including several World Cup games to be held at Levi's Stadium this summer, we are energized by the runway ahead and confident in our ability to keep driving the Levi's brand forward. Now shifting to our next strategy, to be DTC-first.

We are leveraging AI to make online shopping easier and more inspiring for our fans.

For example, we recently announced our plans to develop and deploy an integrated agentic AI platform to simplify and automate task-driven work throughout the organization, driving efficiency, productivity and enabling growth. Built in partnership with Microsoft and as a frontier firm in the industry, we're currently testing this technology and plan to roll it out to employees this year. These initiatives are rewiring the company for a bold future, creating meaningful opportunities to enhance consumer experiences while unlocking additional operational efficiencies.์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ตœ๊ทผ ์กฐ์ง ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์—…๋ฌด ์ค‘์‹ฌ์˜ ์ž‘์—…์„ ๋‹จ์ˆœํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ž๋™ํ™”ํ•˜์—ฌ ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ์„ ํ–ฅ์ƒ์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ  ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋Š” ํ†ตํ•ฉ ์—์ด์ „ํ‹ฑ AI ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœํ•˜๊ณ  ๋ฐฐํฌํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์„ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

While DTC continues to drive outsized growth, wholesale continues to be an important channel for us to amplify the brand and reach our consumers where they choose to shop. Our global wholesale business was flat for the quarter and ended the year up 4%. The channel has stabilized over the past year as our efforts to elevate the brand and to broaden the assortment gain traction. Now turning to our third strategy, powering the portfolio. In Q4, our international business grew 8%, led by an acceleration in Europe and solid growth in Latin America.

And given the strength of the brand and our expansion into lifestyle, we see an immense opportunity for continued profitable growth outside the U.S. Beyond Yoga was up 45% in Q4, fueled by the positive response to our Seek Beyond campaign launched in Q3 and product expansion into new categories across active lifestyle. DTC performed particularly well, and we opened 4 new stores in the quarter. Beyond Yoga ended the year up 17%. And as we look to 2026, the brand will continue to expand its retail presence in new markets and launch the next iteration of our broadened lifestyle assortment. Looking ahead, I am more confident than ever in our future potential.๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ž…์ง€์™€ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์œผ๋กœ์˜ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์™ธ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ์žˆ๋Š” ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์—„์ฒญ๋‚œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Thank you, Michelle. 2025 was a strong year with continued consistent profitable growth for our company. I am pleased that our growth has accelerated over the last 3 years and we have established ourselves as a consistent mid-single-digit growth company, which we expect to continue in 2026. We've also made progress each year on expanding margins, both gross and operating, while driving higher returns on invested capital, ending the year at approximately 16%.

Our 2025 financial results reflect the strength of our business and demonstrate that we have the right building blocks in place to drive long-term sustainable growth. Our focus on denim lifestyle has enabled us to accelerate growth by expanding our total addressable market with our broadened assortment of non-denim bottoms, tops, dresses and skirts, which contributed to almost 1/3 of our growth in 2025.

And we achieved this while navigating higher tariffs and investing in remapping our distribution network as we build the road map towards becoming a $10 billion DTC-first company. In 2026, we will continue to grow adjusted EBIT margins through our relentless focus on driving higher revenue flow-through while making the right investments for our long-term growth, including growing our store base, AI capabilities and marketing. In addition, we're making meaningful progress on mitigating tariff impacts on our P&L through targeted pricing actions, higher full-price selling, lower product costs and prudent management of our cost base.๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ด€์„ธ ์ธ์ƒ์— ๋Œ€์‘ํ•˜๊ณ  100์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ DTC ์ค‘์‹ฌ ๊ธฐ์—…์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€๋Š” ๋กœ๋“œ๋งต์„ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์œ ํ†ต ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ์žฌํŽธํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๋Š” ๋™์‹œ์— ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„์—๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ ์ฆ๋Œ€๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ๊ฐœ์„ ์— ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๋Š” ํ•œํŽธ, ๋งค์žฅ ํ™•๋Œ€, AI ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰ ๊ฐ•ํ™”, ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ๋“ฑ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ๋ณ‘ํ–‰ํ•˜์—ฌ ์กฐ์ • EBIT ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ๊ณ„์† ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๋ชฉํ‘œ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์กฐ์ •, ์ •๊ฐ€ ํŒ๋งค ํ™•๋Œ€, ์ œํ’ˆ ์›๊ฐ€ ์ ˆ๊ฐ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋น„์šฉ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์˜ ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•œ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ด€์„ธ๊ฐ€ ์†์ต๊ณ„์‚ฐ์„œ์— ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์™„ํ™”ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์žˆ์–ด ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ง„์ „์„ ์ด๋ฃจ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Now let me walk you through the specifics of our fourth quarter performance. Organic net revenues grew 5% and were up 13% on a 2-year stack. Our outperformance was driven by better-than-expected results across channels and geographies. As we have seen throughout the year, both AURs and units contributed to our growth this quarter. We expect both price and unit growth to drive the top line in 2026 and beyond. Gross margin for the quarter was 60.8% of net revenues, contracting 100 basis points relative to last year, in line with our expectations, primarily due to the impacts of tariffs, which were partially offset by pricing actions and higher full-price selling.์ด์ œ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์˜ ์„ธ๋ถ€ ๋‚ด์šฉ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ์€ 5% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2๊ฐœ๋…„ ๋ˆ„์  ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” 13% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ดˆ๊ณผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑ์€ ์ฑ„๋„๊ณผ ์ง€์—ญ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ์šฐ์ˆ˜ํ•œ ์‹ค์ ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ์ค‘ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•์ธ๋œ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋„ ํ‰๊ท ํŒ๋งค๋‹จ๊ฐ€(AUR)์™€ ํŒ๋งค์ˆ˜๋Ÿ‰ ๋ชจ๋‘๊ฐ€ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ ์ดํ›„์—๋„ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜๋Ÿ‰ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ ๋ชจ๋‘๊ฐ€ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ ๋Œ€๋น„ 60.8%๋กœ, ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 100bp ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ์ด๋Š” ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๊ณผ ์ผ์น˜ํ•˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๊ด€์„ธ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ธ์ƒ ์กฐ์น˜์™€ ์ •๊ฐ€ ํŒ๋งค ๋น„์ค‘ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ์‡„๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In the first quarter, we implemented additional pricing actions to further mitigate tariffs. And while it's early, we are not seeing any impact on consumer demand thus far. Adjusted SG&A dollars grew 2.6% due to the sales upside driving higher selling and incentive expenses, higher costs associated with the transition of our U.S. distribution network and unfavorable foreign exchange. A brief update on our distribution network transformation in the U.S. While we're making progress, the transition to the new third-party distribution center has taken longer than we expected.1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ด€์„ธ๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ฐ€๋กœ ์™„ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์กฐ์ • ์กฐ์น˜๋ฅผ ์‹œํ–‰ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์ง ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ํ˜„์žฌ๊นŒ์ง€ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ์ˆ˜์š”์— ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์€ ์ „ํ˜€ ๊ด€์ฐฐ๋˜์ง€ ์•Š๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ • ํŒ๋งค๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„๋Š” 2.6% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ํŒ๋งค๋น„ ๋ฐ ์ธ์„ผํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ๋น„์šฉ ์ฆ๊ฐ€, ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์œ ํ†ต๋ง ์ „ํ™˜๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ๋น„์šฉ ์ฆ๊ฐ€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ถˆ๋ฆฌํ•œ ํ™˜์œจ ์˜ํ–ฅ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋‚ด ์œ ํ†ต๋ง ํ˜์‹ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ฐ„๋žตํžˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง„์ „์„ ์ด๋ฃจ๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ๋Š” ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ œ3์ž ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜์„ผํ„ฐ๋กœ์˜ ์ „ํ™˜์ด ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ์˜ค๋ž˜ ๊ฑธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We've been working to fulfill our high demand by continuing to operate our own distribution center, which has led to higher transitory distribution costs, which we expect to continue to incur through the first half of '26. We successfully executed a distribution transition from owned and operated to a hybrid model in Europe last year, enabling us to fulfill our strong demand as evidenced by the double-digit revenue growth in the quarter while improving our profitability in the region. This gives us confidence that we will successfully complete the transition in the U.S. this year.

Adjusted EBIT margin contracted 180 basis points to 12.1% related to the impact of lapping the 53rd week and tariffs. This was slightly lower than our expectations due to the 3 reasons I mentioned before within SG&A, that is unfavorable FX, higher distribution costs and incentive compensation. Fourth quarter adjusted diluted EPS was $0.41, higher than expectations. This includes a $0.03 headwind from a higher tax rate. We ended the year with reported inventory dollars up 9% to prior year and units up 2%. The year-over-year dollar increase was primarily driven by tariffs.์กฐ์ • EBIT ๋งˆ์ง„์€ 53์ฃผ์ฐจ ๊ธฐ์ €ํšจ๊ณผ์™€ ๊ด€์„ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์œผ๋กœ 180bp ๊ฐ์†Œํ•œ 12.1%๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์•ž์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ํŒ๋งค๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„ ๋‚ด 3๊ฐ€์ง€ ์š”์ธ, ์ฆ‰ ๋ถˆ๋ฆฌํ•œ ํ™˜์œจ, ๋†’์€ ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜๋น„์šฉ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์„ฑ๊ณผ๊ธ‰์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์น˜๋ฅผ ์†Œํญ ํ•˜ํšŒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์กฐ์ • ํฌ์„ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต์€ $0.41๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์น˜๋ฅผ ์ƒํšŒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋†’์€ ์„ธ์œจ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ $0.03์˜ ์—ญํ’์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๋ง ์žฌ๊ณ ๋Š” ๋ณด๊ณ  ๊ธฐ์ค€ ๊ธˆ์•ก์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 9% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ˆ˜๋Ÿ‰ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” 2% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ธˆ์•ก ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๊ด€์„ธ์— ์˜ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We continue to believe our inventory quantity and quality are well positioned globally and expect inventory levels ending fiscal '26 to be below revenue growth. Turning to dividend and share repurchases. In quarter 4, we returned $55 million to shareholders. And for the full year, we returned $363 million, up 26% versus prior year. This included a 7% increase in the dividend versus last year. And the $150 million share buyback in '25 was the highest annual buyback since the IPO. And today, we are announcing a $200 million ASR program, which will be completed within 3 months, but no later than 6 months, reflecting our confidence in our future and continued efforts to drive shareholder value.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜๋Ÿ‰๊ณผ ํ’ˆ์งˆ์ด ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ž˜ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๊ณ„์† ๋ฏฟ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 26ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ๋ง ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ํ•˜ํšŒํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐฐ๋‹น๊ธˆ๊ณผ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ฃผ์ฃผ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ 5,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ํ™˜์›ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” 3์–ต 6,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ํ™˜์›ํ•˜์—ฌ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 26% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ž‘๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 7% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น๊ธˆ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  25๋…„๋„ 1์–ต 5,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…์€ IPO ์ดํ›„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋Š˜ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ASR(๊ฐ€์† ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…) ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์„ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 3๊ฐœ์›” ์ด๋‚ด, ๋Šฆ์–ด๋„ 6๊ฐœ์›” ์ด๋‚ด์— ์™„๋ฃŒ๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ™•์‹ ๊ณผ ์ฃผ์ฃผ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์ œ๊ณ ๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Now let's review the key highlights by segment for the quarter. The Americas net revenues were up 2%. Our U.S. DTC business grew 6%, driven by strength in both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce. U.S. wholesale was down due to capacity constraints in our new 3PL as well as strong growth from a key digital wholesale customer in the prior year. Our LatAm business was up 8%, fueled by growth across most markets and continued strength in DTC. Operating margins, which were up for the year contracted 460 basis points in the quarter, primarily due to the lapping of the 53rd week and the impact of the tariffs.์ด์ œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ณ„ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ๋ณ„ ์ฃผ์š” ์‹ค์ ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นด ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ์€ 2% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ DTC(์ง์ ‘์†Œ๋น„์žํŒ๋งค) ์‚ฌ์—…์€ ์˜คํ”„๋ผ์ธ ๋งค์žฅ๊ณผ ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๋ฉฐ 6% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋„๋งค ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ์‹ ๊ทœ 3PL(์ œ3์ž๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜)์˜ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰ ์ฒ˜๋ฆฌ ์ œ์•ฝ๊ณผ ์ „๋…„๋„ ์ฃผ์š” ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ๋„๋งค ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ ๋†’์€ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐ์ € ํšจ๊ณผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๋‚จ๋ฏธ ์‚ฌ์—…์€ ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ DTC ๊ฐ•์„ธ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด 8% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ์ƒ์Šนํ–ˆ๋˜ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” 460bp(๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šคํฌ์ธํŠธ) ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ 53์ฃผ์ฐจ ๊ธฐ์ €ํšจ๊ณผ์™€ ๊ด€์„ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Europe net revenues accelerated, up 10% in Q4, led by double-digit growth in our largest European markets, the U.K. and Germany. We delivered strong holiday performance and growth across all categories, including men's, women's, tops and bottoms. Gross margin expansion and SG&A leverage resulted in operating margin growing 330 basis points versus prior year. Europe's operating margin for the full year grew 180 basis points. Asia net revenues grew 4% year-over-year, fueled by strong DTC performance. Key markets, including Japan and Turkey delivered double-digit growth this quarter as the head-to-toe lifestyle offerings continue to resonate with consumers and drive growth.์œ ๋Ÿฝ ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 10% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋ฉฐ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜์—ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ์‹œ์žฅ์ธ ์˜๊ตญ๊ณผ ๋…์ผ์˜ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ํž˜์ž…์€ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‚จ์„ฑ๋ณต, ์—ฌ์„ฑ๋ณต, ์ƒ์˜, ํ•˜์˜๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๋ชจ๋“  ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์—ฐ๋ง ์‹ค์ ๊ณผ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€์™€ ํŒ๋งค๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ํšจ๊ณผ๋กœ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 330bp ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์˜ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ 180bp ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ์€ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ง์ ‘ํŒ๋งค(DTC) ์‹ค์ ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 4% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ผ๋ณธ๊ณผ ํ„ฐํ‚ค๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ์ฃผ์š” ์‹œ์žฅ๋“ค์ด ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํ—ค๋“œํˆฌํ†  ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ์ด ์†Œ๋น„์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณต๊ฐ์„ ์–ป์œผ๋ฉฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Operating margin expanded 140 basis points versus prior year, driven by gross margin strength. For the full year, Asia grew 7% and operating margin expanded 60 basis points. Now let's turn to our outlook for fiscal '26 and Q1. We are pleased with our Q4 results and with our trends in the first quarter, including a successful holiday period. Looking to '26, we expect organic net revenue growth of 4% to 5% with 1 point favorability from foreign exchange, resulting in reported net revenue growth of 5% to 6%. By segment, we expect the Americas to grow low single digits, Europe mid-single digits and Asia mid- to high single digits.์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ๊ฐ•์„ธ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 140bp ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์ง€์—ญ์€ 7% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ 60bp ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

By channel, we expect DTC to grow high single digits, fueled by positive comp sales opening 50 to 60 net new system doors and continued growth in e-commerce. Global wholesale is expected to be flat to slightly up, given plans to rationalize our wholesale footprint, particularly a few nonstrategic accounts in the U.S. in support of our brand elevation strategy. Gross margin is expected to be flat to prior year. This includes an approximate 150 basis points growth impact from tariffs, which we plan to offset with pricing actions, higher full-price selling, product cost reduction, driven by lower cotton rates and vendor negotiations, SKU rationalization and favorable mix.์ฑ„๋„๋ณ„๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด, DTC๋Š” ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ๋™์ผ๋งค์žฅ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ, 50~60๊ฐœ์˜ ์ˆœ์‹ ๊ทœ ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ ๋งค์žฅ ๊ฐœ์ , ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด ๋†’์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋„๋งค๋Š” ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ๊ณ ๊ธ‰ํ™” ์ „๋žต์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ํŠนํžˆ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋‚ด ์ผ๋ถ€ ๋น„์ „๋žต์  ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์ฒ˜๋ฅผ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ๋„๋งค ๊ฑฐ์ ์„ ํ•ฉ๋ฆฌํ™”ํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ด๋ฏ€๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋ณดํ•ฉ์—์„œ ์†Œํญ ์ƒ์Šนํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋ณดํ•ฉ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๊ด€์„ธ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์•ฝ 150bp์˜ ์ด์ด์ต ๊ฐ์†Œ ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ธ์ƒ ์กฐ์น˜, ์ •๊ฐ€ ํŒ๋งค ํ™•๋Œ€, ๋‚ฎ์•„์ง„ ๋ฉดํ™” ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ๊ณผ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์—…์ฒด ํ˜‘์ƒ์„ ํ†ตํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ ์›๊ฐ€ ์ ˆ๊ฐ, SKU ํ•ฉ๋ฆฌํ™” ๋ฐ ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ฏน์Šค๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ƒ์‡„ํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
FX is expected to be a 20-basis point headwind to gross margin. While these mitigation factors will begin to flow through the P&L early in the year, we anticipate the pace of benefit realization will accelerate as we progress through 2026 with a more meaningful contribution emerging in the later part of the year. The fundamental drivers of our gross margin expansion, which are mixed, higher full-price selling, continued product cost reduction remain intact, positioning us well for a resumed full year expansion in 2027. We expect our full year adjusted SG&A rate to improve by approximately 40 to 60 basis points as the organization is increasingly focused on driving operating leverage.FX๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์— 20bp์˜ ์—ญํ’์œผ๋กœ ์ž‘์šฉํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์™„ํ™” ์š”์ธ๋“ค์ด ์—ฐ์ดˆ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์†์ต๊ณ„์‚ฐ์„œ์— ๋ฐ˜์˜๋˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ฒ ์ง€๋งŒ, 2026๋…„์„ ๊ฑฐ์น˜๋ฉด์„œ ํšจ๊ณผ ์‹คํ˜„ ์†๋„๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜์–ด ์—ฐ๋ง๋กœ ๊ฐˆ์ˆ˜๋ก ๋”์šฑ ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์—ฌ๊ฐ€ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏน์Šค ๊ฐœ์„ , ์ •๊ฐ€ ํŒ๋งค ํ™•๋Œ€, ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ œํ’ˆ์›๊ฐ€ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€์˜ ๊ทผ๋ณธ์ ์ธ ๋™์ธ๋“ค์€ ๊ทธ๋Œ€๋กœ ์œ ์ง€๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด, 2027๋…„ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€ ํ™•๋Œ€ ์žฌ๊ฐœ๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ข‹์€ ์œ„์น˜์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ง์ด ์˜์—… ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ์ฐฝ์ถœ์— ์ ์  ๋” ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์กฐ์ • ํŒ๊ด€๋น„์œจ์€ ์•ฝ 40~60bp ๊ฐœ์„ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This is driven by cost actions to mitigate tariffs, expansion of our global talent hubs, limited head count increases as we drive productivity and efficiencies by expanding AI usage and easing costs from running parallel distribution centers in the second half of the year. For the year, we expect marketing spend to be approximately 7% of total revenues, flat to 2025. As a result, adjusted EBIT margin is expected to expand 40 to 60 basis points in the range of 11.8% to 12%. Given our mid-single-digit growth and our focus on growing gross profit dollars ahead of SG&A dollars, we do expect to leverage for the full year.์ด๋Š” ๊ด€์„ธ ์™„ํ™”๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ์กฐ์น˜, ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์ธ์žฌ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ ํ™•๋Œ€, AI ํ™œ์šฉ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•œ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ ๋ฐ ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ ์ œ๊ณ ์— ๋”ฐ๋ฅธ ์ œํ•œ์ ์ธ ์ธ์› ์ฆ๊ฐ€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๋ณ‘ํ–‰ ์šด์˜ ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜์„ผํ„ฐ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ ์™„ํ™”์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์ง€์ถœ์€ ์ด ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ์•ฝ 7% ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ 2025๋…„๊ณผ ๋™์ผํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, ์กฐ์ • EBIT ๋งˆ์ง„์€ 40~60bp ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜์–ด 11.8%~12% ๋ฒ”์œ„๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋ง๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ๊ณผ SG&A ๋น„์šฉ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต ์ฆ๊ฐ€์— ์ฃผ๋ ฅํ•˜๋Š” ์ ์„ ๊ฐ์•ˆํ•  ๋•Œ, ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We expect the full year tax rate to be around 23%, 2 points higher than '25, and interest expense is expected to be approximately $12 million a quarter. Full year adjusted diluted EPS is expected to grow and be in the range of $1.40 to $1.46. This includes a $0.04 headwind from a higher tax rate and a $0.20 drag from the higher gross impact from tariffs, which we are fully mitigating. CapEx should be approximately $230 million, 3.5% to 4% of revenues, primarily to support store openings, fleet improvements and our digital investment. Before I discuss our Q1 guidance, I wanted to give some color on the cadence of the P&L for the year.์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์„ธ์œจ์€ ์•ฝ 23%๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 2025๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 2%p ๋†’์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ž๋น„์šฉ์€ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋‹น ์•ฝ 1,200๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์กฐ์ • ํฌ์„ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS)์€ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜์—ฌ 1.40๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 1.46๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฒ”์œ„์— ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋†’์•„์ง„ ์„ธ์œจ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ 0.04๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์—ญํ’๊ณผ ๊ด€์„ธ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์ด ์˜ํ–ฅ 0.20๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๋ถ€๋‹ด์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ „์•ก ์™„ํ™”ํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž๋ณธ์ ์ง€์ถœ(CapEx)์€ ์•ฝ 2์–ต 3,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 3.5%~4% ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ฃผ๋กœ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๋งค์žฅ ๊ฐœ์„ค, ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ๊ฐœ์„  ๋ฐ ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์‚ฌ์šฉ๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ๋…ผ์˜ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์ „์—, ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์†์ต๊ณ„์‚ฐ์„œ์˜ ํ๋ฆ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์„ค๋ช…์„ ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์ž ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We expect consistent mid-single-digit revenue growth throughout the year, with Q2 slightly lower due to seasonality. We expect gross margin to improve in the second half as we realize the benefit of pricing and lap the impact of tariffs. On a full year basis, as previously mentioned, we expect marketing spend to be 7% of total revenue. However, this spend will be Q1 weighted given the timing of our global marketing campaign, which kicks off in February with the Super Bowl. Because of this, we expect Q1 spend to be approximately 160 basis points than Q1 '25 and lower in the remaining 3 quarters of the year.์—ฐ์ค‘ ๋‚ด๋‚ด ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ธ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋Š” ๊ณ„์ ˆ์„ฑ์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์†Œํญ ๋‚ฎ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ธ์ƒ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์‹คํ˜„๋˜๊ณ  ๊ด€์„ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋„˜์–ด์„œ๋ฉด์„œ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๊ฐœ์„ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋งํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ, ์•ž์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์ง€์ถœ์ด ์ด๋งค์ถœ์˜ 7%๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‚˜ 2์›” ์Šˆํผ๋ณผ์„ ์‹œ์ž‘์œผ๋กœ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๋Š” ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์บ ํŽ˜์ธ ์ผ์ •์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, ์ด ์ง€์ถœ์€ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ง‘์ค‘๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ง€์ถœ์€ 2025๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์•ฝ 160bp ๋†’์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ๋‚˜๋จธ์ง€ 3๊ฐœ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋” ๋‚ฎ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋ง๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As a result of the Q1 marketing phasing, operating margin is expected to contract versus prior year in Q1 '26 and then expand as gross margin expansion and operating cost leverage take hold, driving full year growth. Now turning to the first quarter of 2026. We expect organic net revenue growth of 4% to 5%, consistent with our full year forecast and a 3-point FX tailwind, resulting in 7% to 8% reported net revenue. On a 2-year basis, this is an acceleration from Q4 '25 and demonstrates that we are maintaining momentum. Gross margin is expected to be slightly down versus Q1 '25, primarily due to the continued impacts of tariffs.Q1 ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์˜ˆ์‚ฐ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„์˜ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋กœ, 2026๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ์ถ•์†Œ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ดํ›„ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€์™€ ์šด์˜๋น„์šฉ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚˜๋ฉด์„œ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ 2026๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ „๋ง์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ 4%์—์„œ 5%๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์ „๋ง์น˜์™€ ์ผ์น˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ํ™˜์œจ ํšจ๊ณผ 3%ํฌ์ธํŠธ๊ฐ€ ๋”ํ•ด์ ธ ๋ณด๊ณ  ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์ˆœ๋งค์ถœ์€ 7%์—์„œ 8%๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๊ฐœ๋…„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ด๋Š” 2025๋…„ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ด๋ฉฐ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ 2025๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์†Œํญ ํ•˜๋ฝํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๊ด€์„ธ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As noted earlier, we have already implemented further pricing actions earlier this month and additional pricing actions will occur in February. Adjusted EBIT margin is expected to be down 140 basis points versus Q1 '25 to 12%, primarily driven by the timing of the marketing campaign. While the production costs are expensed in the first quarter, we expect to benefit from the campaign through the course of the year. Excluding A&P timing, adjusted EBIT margin leverages in Q1. And in Q1, we expect adjusted diluted EPS to be between $0.35 to $0.38.

In closing, 2025 was another solid year for us while accelerating top line and bottom line, evidencing the success of our strategies and our transformation to a denim lifestyle DTC-first company. We entered '26 with strong momentum and a maniacal focus on expanding operating margins. With a robust product pipeline, growing TAM and clear plans to mitigate tariffs, along with a talented and experienced management team, we look forward to another year of consistent growth and margin expansion. Beyond '26, we are confident about what's ahead. Iconic brand, global reach and relentless focus on growth and cost management will continue to create lasting shareholder value well beyond 2026.๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, 2025๋…„์€ ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ชจ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋ฅผ ์ด๋ฃจ๋ฉฐ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๋˜ ํ•œ ๋ฒˆ์˜ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ํ•œ ํ•ด์˜€์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ DTC ์šฐ์„  ๊ธฐ์—…์œผ๋กœ์˜ ์ „๋žต๊ณผ ์ „ํ™˜์ด ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์ด์—ˆ์Œ์„ ์ž…์ฆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€๊ณผ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง‘์š”ํ•œ ์ง‘์ค‘๋ ฅ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  2026๋…„์„ ๋งž์ดํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํƒ„ํƒ„ํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ, ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜๋Š” TAM(์ „์ฒด ์‹œ์žฅ ๊ทœ๋ชจ), ๊ด€์„ธ ์™„ํ™”๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•œ ๊ณ„ํš, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์œ ๋Šฅํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ฒฝํ—˜ ๋งŽ์€ ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋˜ ํ•œ ํ•ด์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ ์ดํ›„๋ฅผ ๋‚ด๋‹ค๋ณด๋ฉด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์•ž์œผ๋กœ์˜ ์ „๋ง์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ํ™•์‹ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ์ง•์ ์ธ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ, ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์ž…์ง€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋Š์ž„์—†๋Š” ์ง‘์ค‘์€ 2026๋…„์„ ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋„˜์–ด์„œ๊นŒ์ง€ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ฃผ์ฃผ ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Laurent Vasilescu: BNP Paribas, Research Division I'd love to ask about gross margins. Harmit, you've historically beaten your initial gross margin guide. Are you taking the same conservative stance as in prior years with this guide of flat gross margins? How should we -- I think you talked about sequential improvement on the gross margin for the year, but can you maybe just put a finer point, how do we think about the first quarter gross margin, because I think expectations were a little bit higher for 4Q? And can you maybe just unpack a little bit more the drivers on cotton transit and the offset on tariffs for the bridge for the year?**Laurent Vasilescu:** ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์งˆ๋ฌธ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Harmit Singh: Executive VP & Chief Financial & Growth Officer Thanks, Laurent. Gross margin question from you is right on the money. But let's start with a little bit of the history. Gross margin, we have established a track record of consistent gross margin expansion, as you said. Our algorithm talks about expanding gross margin regularly every year. Last year '25, we grew gross margins 110 basis points. And over the past 3 years it has grown about 400 basis points. And I'll talk a little bit about the structural drivers, which are intact. Talking about '26, our guidance is, at this time, flat to prior year. What we have done nicely is offset the full impact of tariffs as the year progresses. So tariffs, as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, impacts gross margins adversely by about 150 basis points. And we have an FX headwind of about 20 basis points. We are fully offsetting this with higher pricing. Most of this has been implemented. We are not seeing any initial demand reaction to it. So the elasticity is pretty good. More full-price selling, which is something that we've been focusing now for about 12 to 18 months, especially as our product and newness is resonating well with our consumer. And then lower product costs, which is a combination of better and lower cotton as well as the negotiation with the vendors as we rationalize SKUs, reduce unproductive assortments, et cetera, et cetera. So -- and the only thing I would say is the structural benefits, which is growing more aggressively, think like women's, which is higher gross margin than men; DTC, which is high gross margin than wholesale; and international, which is high gross margin than the U.S., that's intact. So as we think about '26, I think the way we flow this is, first quarter will be slightly down than a year ago because the pricing gets effectuated and improves and accelerates in terms of year-over-year performance as the year progresses and we start lapping tariffs. And as we think about '27, Laurent, our view is this is -- we don't guide '27 right now, but our view is the structural aspects that we're focused on growing, which is through mix, which is DTC, women's and international will resume the acceleration of gross margins in the years to come. So that's how we're thinking of gross margins. And I hope that answers your question.**Harmit Singh:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Laurent. ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ (gross margin)์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์งˆ๋ฌธ ์ •ํ™•ํžˆ ํ•ต์‹ฌ์„ ์งš์œผ์…จ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋จผ์ € ์ง€๊ธˆ๊นŒ์ง€์˜ ๊ฒฝ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ„๋‹จํžˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋Œ€๋กœ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€์˜ ์‹ค์ ์„ ์Œ“์•„์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ ๊ณ„ํš์€ ๋งค๋…„ ์ •๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž‘๋…„ 2025๋…„์—๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์„ 110bp ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œ์ผฐ๊ณ , ์ง€๋‚œ 3๋…„๊ฐ„ ์•ฝ 400bp ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ตฌ์กฐ์  ๋™์ธ(structural drivers)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์œ ํšจํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Matthew Boss: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division So Michelle, how does your mid-single-digit organic outlook for this year size up to the denim category? Maybe where do you see opportunity to increasingly move to offense this year? And then Harmit on that topic, could you elaborate on the acceleration to 7% organic growth in November and December. I think that's on top of 8% growth a year ago, so a mid-teens 2-year stack. Just could you speak to the strength that you're seeing? And have you seen any softening in top line momentum post holiday?**Matthew Boss:** ๋ฏธ์…ธ, ์˜ฌํ•ด ์ค‘๋ฐ˜ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋ง์ด ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์™€ ๋น„๊ตํ•ด์„œ ์–ด๋–ค ์ˆ˜์ค€์ธ๊ฐ€์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์˜ฌํ•ด ๊ณต๊ฒฉ์ ์ธ ์ „๋žต์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์–ด๋””์„œ ๋ณด๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹ ์ง€์š”?

Michelle Gass: CEO, President & Director Yes, I'll start with your first one. We feel really good heading into 2026. I mean I'd say it's clear that our strategies are working. And just as '25 was a strong year, plus 7% organic growth, we're expecting 2026, as you said, mid-single digit, 4% to 5% organic, 5% to 6% on a reported basis. Highlights from my standpoint, are number one, I'd say that we are in the best shape that we've been in decades, both operationally and financially. '25 is certainly a good proof point of that. Our strategies of being brand-led, DTC-first and powering the portfolio are clearly working, and they're driving broad-based growth across channels, categories, genders. And I think what's really exciting is we're making this big transformation, as you know, from a denim bottoms business to a true head-to-toe denim lifestyle company. So when you think about 4% to 5% mid-single-digit growth ahead, we do expect that to outperform the category. I mean the category, if you're talking just denim, it is accelerating globally, and as the leader, we are fueling that growth. On that note, in the U.S., which is also growing, we have cemented our position as the #1 share for men's, women's and youth. And it's the first time that we can remember that all 3 of these targets have grown share and are #1. So it gives us tremendous confidence that strategies aren't changing. We're leaning in and we're executing. And the last point I would make is, just as we plan to continue to fuel the denim category, we've expanded our total addressable market, right? We're no longer just in denim bottoms. And in fact, as Harmit mentioned earlier, about 1/3 of our growth this past year was driven by categories outside of denim bottoms. So speaking to tops, which had a really fantastic year, up double digits, we expect that tailwind to continue. Non-denim, again, it's growing. It's growing fast. We expect that to continue. And then, of course, as we think about the women's business, women's had a great year, up 11%, but that head-to-toe dressing, yes, being relevant in fashion and loose baggy, all the icons, but then also in skirts and dresses, tops.

Harmit Singh: Executive VP & Chief Financial & Growth Officer And to your second question, Matt, I think holiday was strong for us. It centers around 2 strategies. One is DTC. So as we become a DTC-first company, as a team, we're really focused on making sure we win in holiday. We made sure there's newness on the floor, we make sure the product that is being innovated was both with our wholesale customers as well as in our stores and our e-commerce platform. And the teams really executed really well. So that's fact number one. Fact number two, is just building on the TAM point that Michelle just talked about, that centers around the denim lifestyle focus. The myth I would like to bust is that we are -- we're just not only denim bottoms. We have more than denim bottoms. I mean this is more of a head-to-toe lifestyle denim-focused company. So think about the other way. Our teams shout out to our product teams and merchants, product team led by Karyn Hillman, and our lead merchants. The -- we sold a lot of sweaters, more than we have sold in a long time. We sold a lot of chinos. So I can go and just talk about the different products that were introduced in holiday that really helped. And that's what gives us the confidence that we can grow Q1 on a 2-year stack at 14%. You talked about November and December at 15%, but for the quarter, that gives us the confidence and sustaining the 7% organic growth with 4% or 5% organic growth in 2026.**Harmit Singh:** ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ํ™€๋ฆฌ๋ฐ์ด ์‹œ์ฆŒ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ „๋žต์„ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ๋Š” DTC์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ DTC ์šฐ์„  ๊ธฐ์—…์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ, ํŒ€ ์ „์ฒด๊ฐ€ ํ™€๋ฆฌ๋ฐ์ด ์‹œ์ฆŒ์—์„œ ์Šน๋ฆฌํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์žฅ์— ์‹ ์ œํ’ˆ์„ ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ๋ฐฐ์น˜ํ–ˆ๊ณ , ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์ด ๋„๋งค ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋งค์žฅ๊ณผ ์ด์ปค๋จธ์Šค ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์—๋„ ์ œ๊ณต๋˜๋„๋ก ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํŒ€๋“ค์ด ์ •๋ง ํ›Œ๋ฅญํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์‹คํ–‰ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์€ Michelle์ด ๋ฐฉ๊ธˆ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ TAM ํฌ์ธํŠธ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ธ๋ฐ, ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ์— ์ดˆ์ ์„ ๋งž์ถ˜ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๊นจ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์€ ์˜คํ•ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋‹จ์ง€ ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ํ•˜์˜๋งŒ ๋‹ค๋ฃจ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ํ•˜์˜ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ œํ’ˆ์„ ๋ณด์œ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ๋‹จ์ˆœํžˆ ๋จธ๋ฆฌ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋ฐœ๋๊นŒ์ง€ ๋ผ์ดํ”„์Šคํƒ€์ผ ๋ฐ๋‹˜ ์ค‘์‹ฌ ํšŒ์‚ฌ๋ผ๋Š” ์˜๋ฏธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด์‹œ๋ฉด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒ€๋“ค, ํŠนํžˆ Karyn Hillman์ด ์ด๋„๋Š” ์ œํ’ˆํŒ€๊ณผ ์ฃผ์š” ๋จธ์ฒœ๋‹ค์ด์ €๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๋ฐ•์ˆ˜๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ƒ…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์Šค์›จํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์ •๋ง ๋งŽ์ด ํŒ๋งคํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋žœ๋งŒ์— ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋งŽ์ด ํŒ ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์น˜๋…ธ ํŒฌ์ธ ๋„ ๋งŽ์ด ํŒ”๋ ธ๊ณ ์š”. ํ™€๋ฆฌ๋ฐ์ด ์‹œ์ฆŒ์— ์ถœ์‹œ๋œ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ณ„์† ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฐ ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์ด ์ •๋ง ํฐ ๋„์›€์ด ๋์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 2๋…„ ๋ˆ„์  ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ 14% ์„ฑ์žฅํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ž์‹ ๊ฐ์„ ๊ฐ–๊ฒŒ ๋œ ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 11์›”๊ณผ 12์›”์— 15%๋ฅผ ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์…จ๋Š”๋ฐ, ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ „์ฒด๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ์ž์‹ ๊ฐ์„ ์ฃผ๊ณ , 2026๋…„์— 4~5% ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ 7% ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ง€์†ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ํ™•์‹ ์„ ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Michelle Gass: CEO, President & Director Yes, absolutely. Thanks, Jay, for the question. We absolutely believe that there's a lot of upside in DTC, both from a revenue standpoint and margin. As I commented earlier, 15 quarters of positive comp growth. So first of all, margin growth will come from leverage. Call it, sales productivity. As we continue to drive higher volumes, we'll clearly leverage off of the fixed cost in our store, which includes your real estate, your fixed labor, just a lot of those, like I said, fixed costs. Secondly, I would say is, we are really focused on retail excellence. That had a big impact in expanding our store margins this past year, and that will continue. So we're stepping up our operations capabilities. That includes things like enhanced lifestyle merchandising. So when the consumer is coming in, they're not just buying a pair of bottoms, they're also buying the tops. So driving UPTs, driving average ticket price, et cetera. Improved assortment planning and life cycle management. We talk about rewiring this company to be a retailer, and that's happening. We put new systems in place. We're in the midst of rolling out a new planning and allocation system that's going to benefit sell-through, keeping us in stock. So -- and I would say, historically, that wasn't a core strength. Growing up as a wholesale company, that wasn't a core strength of ours. It has to be now. And you see it in the numbers to date, you'll see it going forward. And then lastly, I would say, again, operating with a retail merchant mindset is the selling model. And we have a new global selling model that's rolling out worldwide. So our expectation, the margin expansion that we saw this past year, we expect that to continue. We feel really good.**Michelle Gass:** ๋„ค, ๋ฌผ๋ก ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” DTC์—์„œ ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ ๋งˆ์ง„ ์–‘ ์ธก๋ฉด ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์—ฌ๋ ฅ์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ™•์‹ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ž์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ 15๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์—ฐ์† ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ๋™์ผ๋งค์žฅ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ์„ , ๋งˆ์ง„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€์—์„œ ๋‚˜์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์ฃ . ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋” ๋†’์€ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜๋Ÿ‰์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ, ๋งค์žฅ์˜ ๊ณ ์ •๋น„๋ฅผ ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋ถ€๋™์‚ฐ ๋น„์šฉ, ๊ณ ์ • ์ธ๊ฑด๋น„, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ๋งŽ์€ ๊ณ ์ •๋น„์šฉ๋“ค์ด ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Harmit Singh: Executive VP & Chief Financial & Growth Officer Thanks, Bob. So first, a big shout out to the Europe team. They had a phenomenal year. They were up in the mid-single digits. The strength in Europe for the quarter was up 10%, ended the year really strong and entering '26 with momentum. The strength was evident. I talked about U.K. and Germany in my prepared remarks being up double digits. But you think about the channels, both channels were up. Wholesale actually led the way with 13% growth. And you look at the other markets, Bob, most markets grew in Europe. Again, very strong holiday. The team in Europe does a great job executing against the strategy. Women's was up 10%, men's was up 9% as an example. And then e-commerce was up big time. So overall, really strong results. It translated -- driving growth is one thing, but it's important that the growth translates to profitability and it translated with operating margins up 380 basis points. So let's think forward. '26, we are signaling Europe grows mid-single digits. And you think of the prebook, which is the first sign of how the wholesale customer will shop. Our prebook is up mid-single digit. So I think that's just the thinking about Europe for '26 and what drove '25.**Harmit Singh:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Bob. ๋จผ์ € ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ํŒ€์—๊ฒŒ ํฐ ๋ฐ•์ˆ˜๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ƒ…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ •๋ง ๋†€๋ผ์šด ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ƒˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๋ฐ˜๋Œ€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ๊ณ ์š”. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ์‹ค์ ์€ 10% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋ฉฐ ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋งˆ๋ฌด๋ฆฌํ–ˆ๊ณ , 26๋…„๋„์—๋„ ์ด ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์„ ์ด์–ด๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์  ๊ฐ•์„ธ๊ฐ€ ํ™•์—ฐํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์ค€๋น„๋œ ๋ฐœ์–ธ์—์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ ธ๋“ฏ์ด ์˜๊ตญ๊ณผ ๋…์ผ์ด ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฑ„๋„๋ณ„๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด ๋‘ ์ฑ„๋„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ๊ณ ์š”. ํŠนํžˆ ๋„๋งค ์ฑ„๋„์ด 13% ์„ฑ์žฅ์œผ๋กœ ์„ ๋‘๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ๋ ธ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  Bob, ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์‹œ์žฅ๋“ค์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ๋‚ด ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ง€๋งŒ ์ •๋ง ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์—ฐ๋ง ์‹œ์ฆŒ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ํŒ€์€ ์ „๋žต ์‹คํ–‰์— ์žˆ์–ด ํƒ์›”ํ•œ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ์—ฌ์„ฑ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ด 10%, ๋‚จ์„ฑ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ด 9% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ๊ณ ์š”. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜๋Š” ํฐ ํญ์œผ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ •๋ง ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์‹ค์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ๋„ ์ค‘์š”ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ๊ทธ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ด ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์œผ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์ง€๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋” ์ค‘์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด 380bp ์ƒ์Šนํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์œผ๋กœ ์—ฐ๊ฒฐ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ์•ž์„ ๋‚ด๋‹ค๋ด…์‹œ๋‹ค. 26๋…„๋„์— ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์€ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ „๋งํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋„๋งค ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ๊ตฌ๋งค ํŒจํ„ด์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ์ฒซ ์‹ ํ˜ธ์ธ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ถ(prebook)์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด 26๋…„๋„ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ €ํฌ ์ „๋ง์ด๊ณ , 25๋…„๋„ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•œ ์š”์ธ๋“ค์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Michelle Gass: CEO, President & Director Sure, yes. No, happy to talk. So Blue Tab is clearly a global opportunity for us. So yes, in Europe, but across the globe. And we're really excited about this because we think this presents a new business for us. The premium category is largely untapped for us. It's sizable. It's growing, and we're significantly underpenetrated. So early signs for Blue Tab are very positive. We just rolled it out early in 2025. And it is the pinnacle expression of our brand, very elevated, commanding price points for bottoms for $200 to $350, truckers $250 to $400, the list goes on. And we're early -- in the early stages. We're testing, we're learning, we're scaling, but it is showing that the consumer is responding and that we have permission to play in this elevated premium market. And we have -- we've also had green shoots through the collaborations that we've done for a long time, which have commanded those really elevated price points. But now we're really going to lean in. It isn't going to be these in and out collaborations. We see it as an ongoing business that not only will represent a commercial opportunity, but it's a great halo to the entire line. So think more to come, but we're bullish on really getting into this premium category.**Michelle Gass:** ๋„ค, ๊ธฐ๊บผ์ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Michelle Gass: CEO, President & Director Why don't Harmit and I both take this one. Let me talk about kind of end-to-end supply chain as it relates to product development. And I think Harmit can speak to our distribution transformation. So yes, as you know, we've been on this journey as we pivot to become a DTC retailer to shorten our time line, drive global consistency, et cetera, and we're making good progress. We've taken a few months out of our end-to-end lead time. So we've shortened that from what was 16, 17 months down to 14 months. We're now focused on creating different tracks of products. So for example, in tops, we're going after shorter cycle times, looking at vendors who are closer to the point of distribution, et cetera. We have a new Head of Supply Chain, Chris Callieri, who comes with deep experience in vertical retail and has a very strong strategy to go after those opportunities. So that's point number one. Point number two, a key enabler to that is driving greater global consistency. So what used to be -- we've always developed our products here in San Francisco, but it was more kind of a bottoms-up approach. Now what we've seen is really more of a tops-down but having a globally directed line. So for perspective, back in like '23, early '24, our globally directed line was about 20%. We're now 50%. On our way to 75%. And with that, it clearly drives a lot of efficiency. So over time, you'll see that show up in inventory turn and sell-through and productivity. And also, it allows us to really get behind those big bets from a marketing standpoint and leverage our resources. So the second -- and then the third piece, somewhat related, is we continue to be really focused on reducing our SKU count. And we are still ranging in the reduction of about 20%, 25%.

Harmit Singh: Executive VP & Chief Financial & Growth Officer Yes. And on the -- Gabriella, to the question on distribution, just by context, 2 years ago, we began remapping both U.S. and distribution network to a more hybrid automated omnichannel model, largely done with the intent to support our long-term growth and ensure we meet growing consumer demand. Europe, as I mentioned in my script, is fully transitioned, and we're seeing clear top line and bottom line opportunities. In the U.S., the ramp-up has taken a little longer than we expected. And so we supplemented this by ensuring that one of our own facilities stayed open a little longer as well as increased the manual operation because, to be honest, the demand outstripped our expectations given the wonderful product that we have and we have introduced in the marketplace. We brought in distribution experts into our organization, helping us complete the transformation. We're working with our third-party leading logistic partners, and so we are confident of completing this by the end of the year. And as you saw from the Europe numbers, when it is complete, it does make a big difference to top line and bottom line.**Harmit Singh:** ๋„ค, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ฐ€๋ธŒ๋ฆฌ์—˜๋ผ, ์œ ํ†ต ๊ด€๋ จ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ๋จผ์ € ๋ฐฐ๊ฒฝ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด 2๋…„ ์ „๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ๊ณผ ์œ ํ†ต ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋‹ค ํ•˜์ด๋ธŒ๋ฆฌ๋“œ ์ž๋™ํ™” ์˜ด๋‹ˆ์ฑ„๋„ ๋ชจ๋ธ๋กœ ์žฌํŽธํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์†Œ๋น„์ž ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ์ถฉ์กฑ์‹œํ‚ค๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋ชฉ์ ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋ฐœํ‘œ์—์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ์ „ํ™˜์ด ์™„์ „ํžˆ ์™„๋ฃŒ๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ , ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์ต ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ํ™•์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ํ™•๋Œ€ ์†๋„๊ฐ€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋”๋””๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ž์ฒด ์‹œ์„ค ์ค‘ ํ•œ ๊ณณ์˜ ์šด์˜ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์„ ์—ฐ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ž‘์—… ์šด์˜๋„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์†”์งํžˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์„ ๋ณด์ธ ํ›Œ๋ฅญํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์„ ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋›ฐ์–ด๋„˜์—ˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ง ๋‚ด์— ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜ ์ „๋ฌธ๊ฐ€๋“ค์„ ์˜์ž…ํ•˜์—ฌ ์ „ํ™˜ ์ž‘์—…์„ ์™„๋ฃŒํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๋„์›€์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—…๊ณ„ ์ตœ๊ณ ์˜ ์ œ3์ž ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ๋“ค๊ณผ๋„ ํ˜‘๋ ฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์—ฐ๋ง๊นŒ์ง€ ์ด ์ž‘์—…์„ ์™„๋ฃŒํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ™•์‹ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ์‹ค์  ์ˆ˜์น˜์—์„œ ๋ณด์…จ๋“ฏ์ด, ์ด ์ž‘์—…์ด ์™„๋ฃŒ๋˜๋ฉด ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ชจ๋‘์— ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ธ์ •์  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์นฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

So can you provide additional color there? And what gives you confidence it will come online in the back half? And then as we think about the SG&A impact, what's the right way to think about the impact that DC will have as we think about the transitory costs in the first half versus what should be a sizable opportunity to drive leverage from efficiency in the back half?**Rakesh Patel:** ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ๋งˆ๋ฌด๋ฆฌํ•˜์‹  ๊ฒƒ ์ถ•ํ•˜๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜์„ผํ„ฐ(DC) ๊ด€๋ จ ์ง€์—ฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ข€ ๋” ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์—ฌ์ญค๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ ์„ค๋ช…์„ ๋ถ€ํƒ๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๊ฐ€๋™๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ํ™•์‹ ์„ ๊ฐ–๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ทผ๊ฑฐ๋Š” ๋ฌด์—‡์ธ๊ฐ€์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํŒ๊ด€๋น„(SG&A) ์˜ํ–ฅ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ, ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์˜ ์ผ์‹œ์  ๋น„์šฉ๊ณผ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ์„ ํ†ตํ•œ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ๊ฐœ์„  ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, ์ด ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜์„ผํ„ฐ๊ฐ€ ๋ฏธ์น  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด์•ผ ํ• ๊นŒ์š”?
Harmit Singh: Executive VP & Chief Financial & Growth Officer Yes, sure. Thanks for asking the question. What gives us confidence is a couple of things. One, we've got a great team on our side and a great team with our third-party logistics partners working together to try and solve it and do it in a way that we are able to meet consumer demand while setting ourselves for the long term. So that's a fact number one. Fact number two is, I mean, this is a daily, if not a weekly discussion. And Michelle and I and the top teams, management teams on the other side are directly in conversations. And the other only proof point I would have out there is we've seen it happen in Europe. There's no reason why it shouldn't happen in the U.S. So that's addressing your question. To the question on SG&A, our focus on SG&A has risen to an all-time high within the company. I think you can ask the entire management team and the company, they'll say, this is a group that really wants to drive more leverage. And the best way to explain this, Rick, is to say, let's convert a higher percentage of our gross profit dollars into EBIT dollars. What gives us confidence in 2026 is a few things. One, a higher volume, 4% to 5% organic or 5% to 6% reported should leverage. Second is, I think, Jay, you asked a question about DTC productivity. Again, a myth to bust, higher DTC doesn't mean lower EBIT margin. So you think about last year, our DTC margins were up 300 basis points, our EBIT margins were up. We've got plans to grow DTC margins even in 2026. The other thing is we have limited head count increases. And the way we're doing it so that we manage growth with resources is really leverage the use of AI, and we've got global talent hub, which is centered around the world across all functions where we're leveraging talent and that should help us offset some of the cost increases. And to your question about distribution cost, we feel the parallel running of the DC, that pressure eases by the first half of the year. So you start seeing some of the benefit in the second half of the year, and you see that in the P&L. And overall, our SG&A rate as a percentage of revenue, which we have always said will be around 50%, we think in '26 will be lower than that.**Harmit Singh:** ๋„ค, ๋ฌผ๋ก ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ํ™•์‹ ์„ ๊ฐ–๋Š” ์ด์œ ๋Š” ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ›Œ๋ฅญํ•œ ํŒ€์„ ๋ณด์œ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ , ์ œ3์ž ๋ฌผ๋ฅ˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‚ฌ๋“ค๊ณผ๋„ ๊ธด๋ฐ€ํžˆ ํ˜‘๋ ฅํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ด ๋ฌธ์ œ๋ฅผ ํ•ด๊ฒฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์†Œ๋น„์ž ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ์ถฉ์กฑ์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ๋™์‹œ์— ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋งˆ๋ จํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐฉํ–ฅ์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์€, ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งค์ผ, ์•„๋‹ˆ ๋งค์ฃผ ๋…ผ์˜๋˜๋Š” ์‚ฌ์•ˆ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ์…ธ๊ณผ ์ €, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์–‘์ธก์˜ ์ตœ๊ณ  ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„์ด ์ง์ ‘ ๋Œ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋‚˜๋ˆ„๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋˜ ํ•˜๋‚˜์˜ ์ฆ๊ฑฐ๋Š” ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์—์„œ ์ด๋ฏธ ์„ฑ๊ณต ์‚ฌ๋ก€๋ฅผ ๋ดค๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ๋„ ๋˜‘๊ฐ™์ด ์ด๋ค„์ง€์ง€ ๋ชปํ•  ์ด์œ ๊ฐ€ ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๊ท€ํ•˜์˜ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋‹ต๋ณ€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

I was wondering if you could just talk about where those are happening and magnitude and maybe tie that into your assumptions for growth by geography in F '26, as you think about the breakdown between price versus units in each of the 3 geographies you mentioned.**Paul Lejuez:** ์•ˆ๋…•ํ•˜์„ธ์š”, ์”จํ‹ฐ์˜ ํด ๋ ˆ์ฃผ์ฆˆ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฐจ๋ก€์˜ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ธ์ƒ์„ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜์…จ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”, ์–ด๋А ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ธ์ƒ์ด ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ทธ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๋ฅผ 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ง€์—ญ๋ณ„ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋ง๊ณผ ์—ฐ๊ฒฐํ•ด์„œ, ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ์„ธ ์ง€์—ญ ๊ฐ๊ฐ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰์˜ ๋น„์ค‘์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ณด๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹ ์ง€ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Michelle Gass: CEO, President & Director Sure, Paul, I'll take that one. So yes, as we talked about earlier, we are taking, call it, thoughtful targeted pricing actions as part of our tariff mitigation, and that's largely happening in the U.S., although as ordinary course of business, we do take pricing around the world as we mitigate things like inflation and the like. But our focus for the most part was here in the U.S. I will say we have not seen any consumer or customer reaction to date, which I think is a testament to the strength of the business, the momentum we have and the consumer responding to our product, our marketing efforts. And I would say that we have pricing power, given how strong the brand is right now, the market share gains. So where it's appropriate, especially in our higher tiered and newness innovation, we're leveraging that pricing power, while at the same time taking more modest pricing and being very diligent on, call it, those Tier 3 lower-priced entry-level prices. So the teams -- we have more data and more sophisticated models than we've ever had, leveraging AI as a matter of fact. So informed by market analysis, demand elasticity and, like I said, being very targeted on how we took that pricing. We took some last year fairly modestly. We have more. And that was mostly from a -- to our customers now from a consumer-facing standpoint, we do have pricing going in both in DTC and in wholesale in February. We'll be staying really close. But again, we have confidence as we head into 2026. And to your point on AUR versus units, we're expecting like we saw this last year, we're expecting both to grow in the coming year.**Michelle Gass:** ๋„ค, ํด, ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ, ๊ด€์„ธ ์™„ํ™” ๋ฐฉ์•ˆ์˜ ์ผํ™˜์œผ๋กœ ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ํƒ€๊ฒŸํŒ…๋œ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์กฐ์ •์„ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ํ†ต์ƒ์ ์ธ ์‚ฌ์—… ๊ณผ์ •์—์„œ ์ธํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์…˜ ๋“ฑ์„ ์™„ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์กฐ์ •์„ ์‹ค์‹œํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์ดˆ์ ์€ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์— ๋งž์ถฐ์ ธ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Harmit Singh: Executive VP & Chief Financial & Growth Officer We don't necessarily guide at that level by geography.

Brooke Roach: Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division Harmit, Michelle, I was hoping we could drill down a little bit deeper into your growth assumptions for the Americas business in 2026. It sounds like you have some strong momentum in DTC. You're taking a little bit of price. You sound pretty positive on units. But the growth would suggest that things are a little bit more challenged there. I think you mentioned that U.S. wholesale is going to go through a bit of a rationalization this year.

Harmit Singh: Executive VP & Chief Financial & Growth Officer Sure. So Brooke, overall, the U.S. grew in '25 by 4%. DTC was the standout, growing 6%, but wholesale also grew in the year. I think in the quarter, U.S. was flat. That is largely driven by, as I mentioned in the call, 2 factors. One was we were lapping a high sale in '24 from a large digital customer that was just timing and the capacity constraints on the DC. And if you exclude that or you adjust for the impact of that, actually in the quarter, U.S. and U.S. wholesale would have been up low to mid-single digits. So U.S. has had a great year. To your question about next year, our expectation is the U.S. grows low to mid-single digit. Wholesale globally, our view is flat to slightly up. And that's largely driven by the rationalization of some nonstrategic accounts in the U.S., I mean as we focus on elevating the brand and taking this business to the next level. Our view on wholesale is that it's a important channel for us. In fact, a key channel, allows us to reach a lot of fans and the broader assortment that Michelle referred to in our prepared remarks, et cetera, as they resonate with the consumer and DTC, we're able to take to wholesale. And I think that should drive growth over time.**Harmit Singh:** 25๋…„ ์ „์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์€ 4% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Michelle Gass: CEO, President & Director You bet. Tom, I'll take that one. Thanks for the question. First, I think it's important to reiterate that we believe in the wholesale channel. This is really an and story versus an or. Yes, DTC, we expect to continue to outperform. But over the long term, we expect wholesale to be slightly positive over time. We've guided about flat for next year. And I think we're guiding that despite the fact that we are rationalizing in some nonstrategic accounts, things like, I would say, the grocery channel that we're -- we show up in today in the U.S. So I think it's a good thing for the brand. And again, we're driving to flat even despite some of these account decisions. As it relates to our core strategics, I think the partnerships are really strong. These accounts are embracing denim lifestyle. Tops, men's and women's, I mean, really Levi's getting into the tops category in wholesale in a meaningful way is a new step forward for us. Women's, our accounts have really embraced our women's strategy, and you'll see that in key accounts where they've expanded the footprint. In some cases, we've expanded doors. And then it's head-to-toe denim lifestyle getting into new categories like skirts, dresses, et cetera. So we really do see it as a complement. And I think one of the really great things is that in DTC, we can launch products first and they get to see the results and then we can take them to wholesale. And we've seen that model play out. One of our big hits of the year was the Cinch Baggy and that took off both in DTC and in wholesale. As we look ahead around the world, for example, we had positive growth in Europe even in the quarter. The order books are positive for next year. Latin America, again positive for the quarter. So net-net, I think it's a really good story as we've expanded our addressable market to expand these categories. And let's not forget, even in Q4, from a total business standpoint, we grew market share in men's, women's and that youth target. So I'll wrap it up by saying, we're bullish across all channels, and there's so much opportunity for Levi's in our core denim bottoms business and head-to-toe lifestyle. Thanks, everyone, for joining the call, and we look forward to talking to you next quarter.**Michelle Gass:** ๋„ค, ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
