Columbia Sportswear Company Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Updates Full Year 2026 Financial Outlook

Tim Boyle, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Sportswear Company

“We’re pleased to have delivered net sales and EPS growth exceeding our guidance for the third quarter. These results primarily reflected a portion of delayed Fall ’26 wholesale orders shipping earlier-than-expected, improved trends in our U.S. DTC business, and the continued momentum of our international business, despite challenging global macroeconomic conditions. Our third quarter performance provides continued tangible signs of progress with our ACCELERATE Growth Strategy. We are particularly encouraged by the momentum building in our Columbia brand U.S. DTC E-Commerce business, which represents the pinnacle expression of our brand. While fourth quarter execution will be critical to our full year performance, better-than-expected third quarter performance combined with improving trends in our U.S. business and the shipment of remaining Fall ’26 global wholesale orders gives us the confidence to raise the low end of our full-year revenue and EPS guidance. The operating environment remains challenging and uncertain, and we will continue working to elevate the Columbia brand and improve consumer perceptions in the U.S. That said, we are increasingly confident that the Columbia brand ACCELERATE Growth Strategy is gaining traction and putting us on the right track to return to healthy, sustainable growth over the longer-term. We remain focused on what we can control, and will continue executing our strategy and vision to: accelerate profitable growth; create iconic products that are differentiated, functional and innovative; drive brand engagement with increased, focused demand creation investments; enhance consumer experiences by investing in capabilities to delight and retain consumers; amplify marketplace excellence that is digitally-led, omni-channel, and global; and empower talent that is driven by our core values.”
