YETI Holdings, Inc. (“YETI”) (NYSE: YETI) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2025. YETI reports its financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and as adjusted on a non-GAAP basis. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional information and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

• Net sales increased 2%, reflecting strong performance in Coolers & Equipment, partially offset by a decline in Drinkware. International sales grew 14%, while sales in the US declined 1%
• EPS decreased 27% to $0.48; Adjusted EPS decreased 14% to $0.61, inclusive of a $0.14 unfavorable net impact from higher tariff costs in the third quarter of 2025
• Repurchased 4.3 million shares for $149.9 million, bringing year-to-date share repurchases to 5.0 million shares for $172.9 million

Matt Reintjes, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter results continue to show the strength of YETI and the positive momentum of our long-term growth strategy. Anchored in accelerating product innovation, a powerful and growing global brand, and expanding international reach, we are seeing meaningful wins across all three strategic growth pillars. As we look beyond 2025, continued execution against these three pillars sets YETI on the path to a long-term topline growth range of high-single-digits to low-double-digits.

A core component of our forward growth is the compounding effect of our innovation engine, which will deliver more new products in 2025 than ever before even amid significant supply chain disruption. This innovation is the result of continued investment in direct product development, plus the incremental capabilities and designs from our recent product-focused acquisitions in bags, cookware, and the soon-to-be-released shaker bottle. The broad-based introduction of new products across our 13 product platforms will be the driving force behind growth across Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment. This effort around innovation is amplified by the YETI brand from our strong foundational audiences to the significant expansion efforts across global sports, spanning youth to professional.”

Mr. Reintjes continued, “In the third quarter, even as we navigated a highly disruptive macroeconomic backdrop and a material transformation in our supply chain, we saw outstanding momentum domestically, highlighted by strong end-consumer demand overall and very robust US wholesale sell-through in our tracked channels in both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment. This consumer demand underscores the clear strength of our brand and the impact of our innovation even in a cautious wholesale buying and consumer environment. Internationally, our business is firmly on track to achieve our historical levels of growth for the full year, accounting for the quarter-to-quarter dynamics and highlighting significant opportunities ahead in the global markets. Complementing our brand strength and innovation momentum, our global footprint continues to strengthen in the UK and Europe, and across our expanding partnerships in the rest of the world. We look forward to further highlighting how we are unlocking the next phase of elevated growth at our previously announced Investor Day in the first half of 2026.”

Third Quarter 2025 Results

Sales and adjusted sales both increased 2% to $487.8 million, compared to $478.4 million during the same period last year.

• Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel sales increased 3% to $288.7 million, compared to $280.8 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to growth in our Amazon Marketplace business, Corporate Sales, and YETI retail stores, partially offset by a decline in sales on our US YETI website.
• Wholesale channel sales increased 1% to $199.0 million, compared to $197.6 million in the same period last year, primarily due to growth in Coolers & Equipment. Wholesale channel sales were impacted by a cautious retail environment in the US.
• Drinkware sales decreased 4% to $263.8 million, compared to $275.0 million in the prior year quarter. As expected, Drinkware growth in our international regions was more than offset by a decline in our US region, reflecting a promotional market environment and inventory constraints driven by our supply chain transition.
• Coolers & Equipment sales increased 12% to $215.4 million, compared to $192.6 million in the same period last year, due to growth in both our US and international regions, primarily driven by strong performance in soft coolers and bags.

Sales in the US decreased 1% to $387.3 million, compared to $390.2 million in the prior year quarter. International sales increased 14% to $100.4 million, compared to $88.3 million in the prior year quarter reflecting growth across all regions, led by Europe and Australia, as well as increasing consumer enthusiasm in Japan, which launched in the second quarter of 2025.

Gross profit decreased 2% to $272.5 million, or 55.9% of sales, compared to $277.7 million, or 58.0% of sales, in the third quarter of 2024. The 210 basis points decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a 320 basis point unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs, as well as a lower mix of our Drinkware category. These decreases were partially offset by lower product costs, selective price increases implemented in the second quarter of 2025, and the absence in the current year quarter of purchase accounting inventory step-up amortization.

Adjusted gross profit decreased 2% to $272.5 million, or 55.9% of adjusted sales, compared to $278.5 million, or 58.2% of adjusted sales, in the third quarter of 2024. The 230 basis points decrease in adjusted gross margin was primarily due to a 320 basis point unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs, as well as a lower mix of our Drinkware category. These decreases were partially offset by lower product costs and selective price increases implemented in the second quarter of 2025.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 5% to $218.2 million, compared to $208.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 120 basis points to 44.7% from 43.5% in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to growth investments related to technology and facilities, higher non-cash stock-based compensation, higher depreciation and amortization expense related to our continued capital investments to support future growth, and asset impairments, partially offset by lower marketing expenses on higher sales.

Adjusted SG&A expenses increased 3% to $205.9 million, compared to $199.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. As a percentage of adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses increased 50 basis points to 42.2% from 41.7% in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to growth investments related to technology and facilities, and depreciation and amortization expense related to our continued capital investments to support future growth, partially offset by lower marketing expenses on higher sales.

Operating income decreased 22% to $54.4 million, or 11.1% of sales, compared to $69.6 million, or 14.6% of sales during the prior year quarter.

Adjusted operating income decreased 16% to $66.6 million, or 13.7% of adjusted sales, compared to $79.2 million, or 16.6% of adjusted sales during the same period last year.

Other expense of $1.2 million compared to other income of $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to foreign currency losses related to intercompany balances in the current year quarter versus foreign currency gains related to intercompany balances in the prior year quarter.

Net income decreased 30% to $39.4 million, or 8.1% of sales, compared to $56.3 million, or 11.8% of sales in the prior year quarter; Net income per diluted share decreased 27% to $0.48, compared to $0.66 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted net income decreased 18% to $49.6 million, or 10.2% of adjusted sales, compared to $60.4 million, or 12.6% of adjusted sales in the prior year quarter; Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased 14% to $0.61, compared to $0.71 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Nine Months Ended September 27, 2025 Results

• DTC channel sales increased 2% to $733.5 million, compared to $719.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to growth in our Amazon Marketplace business, Corporate Sales, and YETI retail stores, partially offset by a decline in sales on our US YETI website.
• Wholesale channel sales decreased 2% to $551.3 million, compared to $564.3 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a decline in Drinkware, partially offset by growth in Coolers & Equipment.
• Drinkware sales decreased 4% to $705.8 million, compared to $736.1 million in the prior year period. Drinkware growth in our international regions was more than offset by a decline in our US region, reflecting a promotional market environment and inventory constraints driven by our supply chain transition.
• Coolers & Equipment sales increased 7% to $556.2 million, compared to $518.4 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by strong performance in bags, soft coolers, and hard coolers.

Sales in the US decreased 3%, to $1,026.4 million, compared to $1,052.9 million in the prior year period. International sales increased 12%, to $258.4 million, compared to $230.5 million in the prior year period reflecting growth across all regions, led by Europe and Canada, as well as Japan, which launched in the second quarter of 2025. The 12% increase in international sales included an FX headwind of approximately 150 basis points.

Gross profit decreased to $731.8 million, or 57.0% of sales, compared to $736.8 million, or 57.4% of sales, in the prior year period. The 40 basis points decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a 190 basis point unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs, as well as a lower mix of our Drinkware category. These decreases were partially offset by lower product costs, the absence in the current year period of purchase accounting inventory step-up amortization, and selective price increases implemented in the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted gross profit decreased 1% to $731.4 million, or 56.9% of sales, compared to $742.4 million, or 57.8% of sales, in the prior year period. The 90 basis points decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a 190 basis point unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs, as well as a lower mix of our Drinkware category. These decreases were partially offset by lower product costs and selective price increases implemented in the second quarter of 2025.

SG&A expenses increased 3% to $593.8 million, compared to $574.0 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 150 basis points to 46.2% from 44.7% in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to growth investments related to technology and facilities, and higher non-cash stock-based compensation, partially offset by lower distribution and fulfillment expenses on higher sales.

As a percentage of adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses increased by 90 basis points to 43.3% from 42.4% in the prior year period.

Adjusted operating income decreased 12% to $175.0 million, or 13.6% of adjusted sales, compared to $198.8 million, or 15.5% of adjusted sales during the same period last year. The 12% decrease in adjusted operating income included an FX headwind of approximately 140 basis points.

Other income increased to $6.0 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher foreign currency gains related to intercompany balances in the current year period.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Review

Cash was $164.5 million, total debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized deferred financing fees, was $74.9 million, and our $300 million Revolving Credit Facility remained undrawn as of the end of the third quarter of 2025.

Inventory decreased 12% to $324.0 million, compared to $370.2 million at the end of the prior year quarter.

Capital Allocation Update

YETI continues to expect strong free cash flow generation and remains committed to investing in the business to drive sustainable growth and enhance long-term shareholder value through share repurchases.

During the third quarter of 2025, we acquired certain assets, including designs, tooling, and intellectual property, related to the Helimix branded shaker bottle for $38.0 million in cash. This transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Pursuant to our existing $450 million share repurchase authorization, in the third quarter of 2025, we repurchased 4.3 million shares of YETI’s common stock on the open market for $149.9 million, bringing year-to-date share repurchases to 5.0 million shares for $172.9 million. Based on our current expectations, we now anticipate completing approximately $300 million in share repurchases during 2025, compared to our previous expectation of $200 million.

Updated 2025 Outlook

Mr. Reintjes concluded, “Our third quarter momentum sets the stage for a strong holiday and fourth quarter, reaffirming our confidence in delivering on both the top- and bottom-line for the full year. While the retail environment remains cautious, we are executing across the business to deliver innovation and growth amidst the disruptive and fluid tariff environment. Our supply chain transformation remains firmly on track, significantly diversifying our manufacturing footprint by year-end, providing operational resilience, and enhancing our global flexibility and capabilities to support long-term innovation, growth, and profitability.

Our financial strength is a cornerstone of our strategy, providing continued fuel for investment in growth initiatives. By the end of this year, we expect to have generated nearly $1.2 billion in free cash flow since 2019. Through disciplined management, including maintaining a strong balance sheet, significant share repurchases, innovation focused acquisitions and the strategic reduction of our debt, we’ve built a stronger company and expanded our capacity to expansively invest in future growth and drive long-term shareholder value creation. To that end, we are also increasing our share repurchase target for the year from the previously communicated $200 million to $300 million. This will bring our total repurchases over the past two years to $500 million, reducing shares outstanding by approximately 14% over that period. Between growth and strong, disciplined management we remain excited about the long-term global potential of YETI.”

For Fiscal 2025, a 53-week period, compared to a 52-week period in Fiscal 2024, YETI expects:

• Adjusted sales to increase 1% to 2% (versus previous outlook of flat to up 2%) including an approximately 300 basis point unfavorable impact related to our supply chain transformation;
• Adjusted operating income as a percentage of adjusted sales between 14.0% and 14.5% (consistent with previous outlook). This outlook reflects an approximate 230 basis point unfavorable net impact from higher tariff costs versus the prior year;
• An effective tax rate of approximately 25.5% (consistent with previous outlook);
• Adjusted net income per diluted share between $2.38 and $2.49 (versus previous outlook of between $2.34 and $2.48) including an approximately $0.40 net unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs;
• Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 81.5 million (versus previous outlook of 82.0 million). This outlook reflects the impact of the expected $300 million in share repurchases in Fiscal 2025 (versus previous outlook of $200 million in share repurchases);
• Capital expenditures of approximately $50 million (consistent with previous outlook), primarily to support investments in technology, new product innovation, and our supply chain; and
• Free cash flow of approximately $200 million (versus previous outlook of between $150 million and $200 million).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share (which we also refer to as adjusted EPS), free cash flow as well as adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as a percentage of adjusted net sales.

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to measure our profitability and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business and are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below.

YETI does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including in particular the impacts of product recalls and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses reported within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions needed in order to provide a forward-looking GAAP financial measures at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions may be material and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP financial measures being materially different or less than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. See “Forward-looking statements” below.
