Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Net revenues decreased 10.1% year-over-year. North America revenue fell 14.2%, and Asia-Pacific fell 10.1%. Latin America was the only region with growth, up 15.6%. EMEA remained flat (+0.1%).
- Product Mix: Footwear revenue declined 14.7%, Apparel 8.1%, and Accessories 5.4%. Wholesale channel revenue dropped 8.3%, while Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) dropped 11.8%.
- Profitability Impact: The company reported a significant operating loss of $299.7 million compared to an operating profit of $22.4 million in the prior year. This was primarily driven by a $274 million litigation expense (net of insurance receivable) related to the settlement of the Class Action Securities litigation and $25.1 million in restructuring charges.
- SG&A Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 42.1% to $837.3 million, largely due to the litigation settlement and restructuring costs. Excluding these items, marketing costs actually decreased 13.3%.

Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Restructuring Plan: On May 15, 2024, the Board approved a restructuring plan to rebalance the cost base. The company expects total pre-tax charges of $70 million to $90 million during Fiscal 2025. This includes approximately $50 million in cash-related charges (severance and transformation initiatives) and $40 million in non-cash charges (impairments).
- Litigation Settlement: The company reached a settlement agreement for $434 million regarding the Consolidated Securities Action. This amount was accrued in Q1 2025. The company expects to fund this via cash and insurance receivables ($60 million recognized).
- Share Repurchases: A new $500 million share repurchase program was authorized in May 2024. During the quarter, the company executed an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) of $40.0 million, retiring 5.9 million shares of Class C Common Stock.
- Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, specifically regarding period-end reconciliations and general ledger classification. Remediation is in progress.
- Outlook: Management expects gross margin trends (pricing benefits and supply chain efficiencies) to continue through Fiscal 2025 but to a lesser extent. The company faces a challenging retail environment, particularly in North America wholesale and Asia-Pacific.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Litigation Funding: Verify the status of the $434 million settlement payment and the $60 million insurance receivable, noting ongoing litigation with certain carriers regarding coverage.
- Restructuring Execution: Monitor the actual cash outflow for the $70-$90 million restructuring plan and the timeline for realizing cost savings.
- Internal Control Remediation: Track progress on fixing material weaknesses in financial reporting controls to ensure future financial statement reliability.
- North America Demand: Assess whether the 14.2% revenue decline in North America is a temporary channel mix issue or a structural demand shift.
- Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the credit facility covenants (interest coverage and leverage ratios), especially given the recent amendment to exclude litigation charges from EBITDA calculations.
