The company also provided a limited outlook for the full year 2025, expecting net sales to decline by 1.0% to an increase of 1.0% compared to 2024. This outlook is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including global trade policy impacts [2].
Columbia Sportswear's gross margin expanded by 120 basis points to 49.1% of net sales, driven by healthier inventory composition and favorable product sales mix. SG&A expenses increased to $325.6 million, or 53.8% of net sales, due to higher DTC and demand creation expenses. The company's interest income decreased to $4.8 million, and the effective income tax rate was 38.5% [2].
For the first half of 2025, net sales increased by 3% to $1,383.7 million, with gross margin expanding to 50.1% of net sales. Operating income increased by 10% to $22.9 million, and net income rose by 5% to $32.1 million [2].
The company's chairman, president, and CEO, Tim Boyle, commented on the results, stating, "Second quarter and first half financial results reflect sustained momentum in our international markets. While business trends in our U.S. business remain soft, we continue to take steps to re-energize the Columbia brand through our ACCELERATE growth strategy" [2].
