ATLANTA, March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025 ended January 31, 2026 and initiated guidance for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2026.

Consolidated net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $374 million compared to $391 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Diluted loss per share on a GAAP basis was $0.48, which includes $0.24 per share of charges related to an increased LIFO reserve compared to earnings per share (EPS) of $1.13 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. On an adjusted basis, loss per share was $0.09 compared to EPS of $1.37 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, loss per share on both a GAAP and adjusted basis includes a $0.19 charge related to the Saks Global bankruptcy.

Consolidated net sales for the full fiscal year 2025 decreased 3% to $1.48 billion compared to $1.52 billion in fiscal 2024. Loss per share was $1.86 compared to EPS of $5.87 in fiscal 2024. Fiscal 2025 results included noncash impairment charges totaling $61 million, or $3.02 per share primarily associated with the Johnny Was trademark. On an adjusted basis, EPS was $2.11 in fiscal 2025 compared to $6.68 in fiscal 2024.

Tom Chubb, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Momentum in our largest business, Tommy Bahama, improved as the quarter progressed, with trends strengthening beginning in late January. This momentum helped us deliver fourth quarter net sales and adjusted earnings per share within our guidance ranges, excluding charges associated with the bankruptcy of Saks Global, against the backdrop of an uneven consumer environment. While traffic and conversion trends were pressured across much of our portfolio during the holiday season, and higher tariffs increased our costs, the strategic actions we took to strengthen our supply chain and diversify our sourcing allowed us to protect our strong gross margins. We also adjusted our merchandise assortments to better match customer expectations, important actions that helped return overall comparable sales to positive territory as fiscal 2025 concluded.”

Mr. Chubb concluded, “Fiscal 2026 is off to a good start, with the improving top-line momentum driven by mid single digit positive comps at Tommy Bahama starting in late January continuing first quarter to-date during the start of our important resort and early spring seasons. We expect this momentum, together with the actions we took in fiscal 2025, to support improved earnings in fiscal 2026. While uncertainty persists across the consumer and macroeconomic environment, including tariffs and the conflicts in the Middle East, we are entering the year with a stronger operational foundation. Our investments in technology and infrastructure, including our recently opened Lyons, Georgia distribution center, support that foundation and are expected to provide meaningful financial and strategic benefits over time. As always, we remain focused on disciplined execution, with an emphasis on improving profitability and strengthening our brands for the long term. We are proud of the teams across our organization that make this all possible.”

Fiscal 2025 versus Fiscal 2024

• For the full fiscal year 2025, consolidated net sales of $1.48 billion decreased 3% compared to sales of $1.52 billion in the prior year. Fourth quarter consolidated net sales decreased 4% over the prior year to $374 million. The net sales decrease includes the following in each channel of distribution:
  • Full-price DTC sales of $1.0 billion decreased 3% for the year. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, full-price DTC sales of $268 million decreased 5% versus the prior-year period.
    • Full-price retail sales of $509 million decreased 3% for the year. For the fourth quarter, full-price retail sales of $130 million decreased 4%;
    • E-commerce sales of $506 million decreased 3% for the year. For the fourth quarter, e-commerce sales of $137 million decreased 6%;
  • Food and beverage sales of $121 million grew 4% for the year. For the fourth quarter, food and beverage sales of $34 million increased 15%. The increases for the full year and the fourth quarter were driven by new locations.
  • Outlet sales of $74 million decreased 2% for the year. For the fourth quarter, outlet sales of $18 million decreased 2%.
  • Wholesale sales of $268 million decreased 5% for the year. For the fourth quarter, wholesale sales of $55 million decreased 10%.
• Gross margin was 60.7% compared to 62.9% in the prior year. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, gross margin was 56.8% compared to 60.6%. The decreased gross margin for the full fiscal year was primarily due to (1) approximately $30 million of increased cost of goods sold, or approximately 200 basis points, from additional tariffs enacted in fiscal 2025, (2) a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional and clearance events at Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer and (3) a $5 million higher LIFO accounting charge in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. These decreases were partially offset by (1) lower freight costs to customers due to improved carrier rates from contract renegotiations and (2) a change in sales mix with wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales. On an adjusted basis, gross margin was 61.3% compared to 63.2% in the prior year. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, adjusted gross margin was 58.0% compared to 60.8%.
• SG&A was $818 million for the full fiscal year 2025 compared to $787 million in the prior year. For the fourth quarter, SG&A was $207 million compared to $203 million in the prior year. For the full fiscal year, approximately $15 million, or 47%, of the increase was due to the increase in bricks and mortar retail locations with a net of 10 additional locations added during fiscal 2025. There were additional increases in (1) software subscription related costs, (2) occupancy costs, (3) consulting and professional services and (4) credit losses primarily due to the Saks Global bankruptcy. These increases were partially offset by decreases in (1) advertising costs and (2) samples, supplies and travel costs. On an adjusted basis, SG&A was $815 million compared to $784 million in the prior year. For the fourth quarter, adjusted SG&A was $206 million compared to $201 million in the prior year.
• Royalties and other operating income decreased $4 million to $16 million for the full year primarily due to decreased royalty income in Tommy Bahama reflecting the lower sales of licensing partners.
• Full-year net loss was $28 million in fiscal 2025, compared to net earnings of $93 million in the prior year. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, net loss was $7 million compared to net earnings of $18 million in the prior year.
• Full-year EBITDA was $36 million in fiscal 2025, compared to $187 million in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, full-year EBITDA was $107 million compared to $193 million in the prior year. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $8 million compared to $38 million in the prior year, while adjusted EBITDA was $14 million in fiscal 2025 and $40 million in the prior year.
• As a result of interim impairment assessments performed in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recognized noncash impairment charges totaling $61 million, primarily related to the Johnny Was trademark.
• Interest expense increased to $7 million from $2 million in the prior year period primarily due to higher average outstanding debt during fiscal 2025 than the prior year.
• The effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 was 27% compared to 20% in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was 27% compared to 8% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The effective tax rates for both the full year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were higher than a typical effective tax rate of 25% and included certain unfavorable discrete items that are not expected to recur in future periods.
  

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Inventory decreased $2 million, or 1%, on a LIFO basis and increased $6 million, or 2%, on a FIFO basis compared to the end of fiscal 2024 primarily due to slight inventory increases in all operating segments, with the exception of Johnny Was. The increase on a FIFO basis was driven primarily by increased tariffs. As of January 31, 2026, the Company had $11 million of additional costs capitalized into inventory related to the U.S. tariffs implemented in Fiscal 2025.

During fiscal 2025, cash flow from operations was $120 million compared to $194 million in fiscal 2024. The decrease in cash flow from operations reflects the result of lower net earnings and working capital needs.

Borrowings outstanding increased to $116 million at the end of fiscal 2025 as lower earnings, capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends and working capital needs exceeded cash flows from operations. At the end of fiscal 2025, the Company had $8 million of cash and cash equivalents versus $9 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2024.

Capital expenditures of $108 million in fiscal 2025 decreased from $134 million in fiscal 2024. The decrease in fiscal 2025 was primarily due to the opening of fewer new retail stores and Tommy Bahama Marlin Bars in fiscal 2025 than in fiscal 2024. We also spent $54 million of capital expenditures related to the new distribution center in Lyons, Georgia in fiscal 2025 compared to $69 million in fiscal 2024. Approximately $20 million of spending originally expected in fiscal 2025 to complete the Lyons, Georgia project is now expected to occur in fiscal 2026.

Dividend

On March 23, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per share, or a 1% increase above the previous dividend payment. The dividend is payable on May 1, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 17, 2026. The Company has paid dividends every quarter since it became publicly owned in 1960.

Outlook

The Company initiated sales and EPS guidance for fiscal 2026. The Company expects net sales in a range of $1.475 billion to $1.530 billion compared to net sales of $1.478 billion in fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2026, GAAP EPS is expected to be between $1.83 and $2.43 compared to fiscal 2025 GAAP loss per share of $1.86. Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $2.10 and $2.70, compared to fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS of $2.11. The fiscal 2026 guidance also includes:

• An approximate $20 million, or $1.00 per share impact of higher tariffs resulting from the annualized impact of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") tariffs enacted in April 2025;
• $5 million of primarily increased depreciation related expenses, or approximately $0.25 per share impact, related to the new Lyons, Georgia distribution center;
• A higher adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 28% compared to 24% in 2025, or $2 million of additional tax expense, or a $0.15 per share impact; and
• $1 million, or $0.05 per share impact from higher interest expense with increases from higher average debt levels in the first half of the year partially offset by decreases from lower average debt levels in the second half of the year.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company expects net sales to be between $385 million and $395 million compared to net sales of $393 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. GAAP EPS is expected to be in a range of $1.13 to $1.23 in the first quarter compared to GAAP EPS of $1.70 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $1.20 and $1.30 compared to adjusted EPS of $1.82 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The first quarter fiscal 2026 guidance also includes:

• An approximate $12 million, or $0.60 per share impact of higher tariffs resulting from the annualized impact of the IEEPA tariffs enacted in April 2025;
• $1 million of primarily increased depreciation related expenses, or approximately $0.05 per share impact, related to the new Lyons, Georgia distribution center;
• $1 million, or $0.05 per share impact from higher interest expense; and
• A higher adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 25% compared to 24% in 2025.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 2026 are expected to be approximately $65 million, including approximately $20 million to complete the new Lyons, Georgia facility, compared to $108 million in fiscal 2025. The decrease is due to reductions in expenditures related to the completion of the new distribution center in Lyons, Georgia in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 along with fewer new store openings.

Basis of Presentation

All per share information is presented on a diluted basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company reports its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement these consolidated financial results, management believes that a presentation and discussion of certain financial measures on an adjusted basis, which exclude certain non-operating or discrete gains, charges or other items, may provide a more meaningful basis on which investors may compare the Company’s ongoing results of operations between periods. These measures include EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A and adjusted operating income (loss), among others.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operational, and planning decisions to evaluate the Company’s ongoing performance. Management also uses these adjusted financial measures to discuss its business with investment and other financial institutions, its board of directors and others. As noted, below in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we changed our segment profitability metric to segment EBITDA. As a supplement to this metric, we also present adjusted segment EBITDA, which excludes certain non-operating, non-cash or extraordinary items such as LIFO adjustments, the amortization of Johnny Was intangible assets, Johnny Was organizational realignment initiatives, Johnny Was Distribution Center movement costs, Johnny Was impairment charges, Emerging Brands impairment charges and the impact of income taxes. Reconciliations of these adjusted measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are presented in tables in this release.

We changed our segment profit margin measure in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("segment EBITDA"). Segment EBITDA also excludes infrequent operating charges, including impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments.

Further, effective as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we revised the presentation of depreciation and amortization expense within the consolidated statements of operations to present it separately from SG&A, where it had previously been included. The consolidated statements of operations for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. This change in presentation had no effect on previously reported operating income (loss), earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss), or basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for any period presented.

The tables below present depreciation and amortization and segment EBITDA by quarter for Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 (in millions):
