Net revenues for the quarter ended November 1, 2025, declined 11.7% year-over-year to $62.3 million, with both Direct and Indirect segments experiencing sales decreases.
Leadership transition continues, with a CEO search in progress, interim Executive Chairman, and new CFO and Chief Brand Officer appointed.
The company completed the sale of its Pura Vida subsidiary, resulting in a $15.2 million loss on disposal, with Pura Vida now reported as discontinued operations.
Early wins include positive comparable Brand channel sales for five months and successful reintroduction of iconic styles.
Financial highlights
Q3 revenues were $62.3 million, down 11.7% year-over-year, with sequential improvement in direct channels.
Net loss from continuing operations was $(12.4) million ($(0.44) per share), compared to $(3.7) million ($(0.13)) last year.
Gross margin for the quarter was 42.1% (down from 54.5% year-over-year), or 51.2% excluding inventory write-down.
SG&A expenses decreased 17.2% to $38.7 million, reflecting cost reductions in headcount, compensation, and advertising.

Outlook and guidance
Spring-summer 2026 is expected to be the first period with significant impact from new product strategies, with larger commitments to successful styles and prints.
Inventory turns are targeted to improve from below 2 to the 2–3 range over the next 12–18 months.
Management remains cautious due to ongoing inflationary pressures and softer consumer discretionary spending, but expects strategic initiatives to position the business for long-term growth.
Continued focus on disciplined expense control, inventory management, and sustainable growth.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
