Management Commentary

President and CEO Stephanie Pugliese stated, "We are encouraged by our second-quarter results, reflecting positive momentum in our turnaround efforts. Our team made notable improvements in the business including promotional reset, expense management, and inventory discipline. These efforts led to enhanced gross margin, reduced SG&A, and lower inventory levels."

Pugliese added, "While pleased with our Q2 results, we acknowledge the significant work ahead. I am dedicated to leveraging our foundational work in product sourcing, optimizing our fulfillment center network, and rationalizing our store portfolio. As we approach our peak selling season, our focus remains on simplifying the business, reducing expenses, mitigating tariff impacts, and delivering on our promise to consumers with excellence.

Looking beyond this year, I am committed to refocusing our marketing and product assortment to celebrate the self-reliant spirit of our consumers. I am confident that business simplification and a focus on Duluth Trading's core strengths will create shareholder value and ultimately restore the company to profitable growth," concluded Pugliese.

Operating Results for the second Quarter ended August 3, 2025

Net sales decreased $9.9 million, or 7.0%, to $131.7 million in the three months ended August 3, 2025 compared to $141.6 million in the three months ended July 28, 2024. Direct-to-consumer net sales decreased by 13.7% to $79.1 million due to lower traffic, partially offset by higher average order values. Retail store net sales increased by 5.3% to $52.6 million primarily driven by higher average order values.

Gross margin increased to 54.7% of net sales in the three months ended August 3, 2025, compared to 52.3% of net sales in the three months ended July 28, 2024. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by an increase in average unit retail sales from reduced promotional activity coupled with an improvement in product costs from our direct to factory sourcing initiative.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.2 million, or 7.1%, to $68.8 million in the three months ended August 3, 2025 compared to $74.0 million in the three months ended July 28, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 52.2% in the three months ended August 3, 2025, compared to 52.3% in the three months ended July 28, 2024. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was mainly driven by leverage on outbound shipping costs due to higher average order values coupled with a reduction in personnel and depreciation expenses.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company ended the quarter with $5.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $56.9 million of net working capital, $32.5 million of outstanding debt on the $100.0 million revolving line of credit, and $73.3 million of net liquidity.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook

The Company is maintaining our previously issued fiscal 2025 financial guidance.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Within this release, including the tables attached hereto, reference is made to, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"). See attached table "Reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA," for a reconciliation of net income(loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended August 3, 2025, versus the three and six months ended July 28, 2024 and attached table "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EPS," for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) to adjusted EPS for the three and six months ended August 3, 2025 versus the three and six months ended July 28, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into an organization's operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into the effectiveness of our business strategies and to compare our performance against that of peer companies. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS excludes restructuring expenses, impairment expenses and an addition to our valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset that are not comparable from period to period.

The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company's management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company's GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

The Company revised its prior period financial statements for an accounting correction related to sales tax collections to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that are primarily related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities, deferred taxes and retained earnings, as well as corresponding impacts to the Company's other Consolidated Financial Statements. The impacts of these revisions were not material to the Company's previously filed financial statements. These revisions relate to immaterial corrections that were identified by management and when accumulated, required a correction to the Company's previously filed financial statements.

Solarbranche vor dem Mega-Comeback?
Lange galten Solaraktien als Liebling der Börse, dann kam der herbe Absturz: Zinsschock, Überkapazitäten aus China und ein Preisverfall, der selbst Marktführer wie SMA Solar, Enphase Energy oder SolarEdge massiv unter Druck setzte. Viele Anleger haben der Branche längst den Rücken gekehrt.

Doch genau das könnte jetzt die Chance sein!
Die Kombination aus KI-Explosion und Energiewende bringt die Branche zurück ins Rampenlicht:
  • Rechenzentren verschlingen Megawatt – Solarstrom bietet den günstigsten Preis je Kilowattstunde
  • Moderne Module liefern Wirkungsgrade wie Atomkraftwerke
  • hina bremst Preisdumping & pusht massiv den Ausbau
Gleichzeitig locken viele Solar-Aktien mit historischen Tiefstständen und massiven Short-Quoten, ein perfekter Nährboden für Kursrebound und Squeeze-Rally.

In unserem exklusiven Gratis-Report zeigen wir dir, welche 4 Solar-Aktien besonders vom Comeback profitieren dürften und warum jetzt der perfekte Zeitpunkt für einen Einstieg sein könnte.
