The company accelerated global expansion efforts, growing year-to-date (YTD) revenue by 23 per cent in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and 82 per cent in Asia Pacific and Latin America (APLA) over the same horizon last year. Brooks’ unwavering focus on runners continues to strengthen its position on the global stage as the running category expands worldwide.

Brooks Running has posted its ninth straight quarter of YoY growth, with Q3 FY25 revenue up 17 per cent, fuelled by double-digit gains across all regions and channels.
EMEA revenue rose 23 per cent and APLA 82 per cent year-to-date.
Strong footwear demand, immersive brand activations, and product launches such as Cascadia Elite boosted performance and market share globally.

The global running market continued to grow in Q3, driven by strong demand for performance running footwear. In the US, where adult performance running footwear increased 13 per cent in Q3, the company achieved highest market share at national retail, Brooks Running said in a press release.

YTD through Q3, Brooks held three of the top six adult performance footwear styles sold at US national retail. In France and Germany, where in Q3 performance running footwear grew 9 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively, Brooks outpaced both markets with 15 per cent growth in France and 29 per cent growth in Germany.

“Our entire global team wakes up every day thinking about the runner—how they move, what they feel, the experience they desire and expect from their Brooks gear,” said Dan Sheridan, CEO of Brooks Running. “I am super proud of the way Brooks is executing, even against a backdrop of continued economic impacts and uncertainty. More people around the world are running and choosing an active lifestyle and Brooks is central to their health and wellness goals.”

In Q3, Brooks launched five footwear styles in three core performance categories—cushion, trail, and speed—fuelling a 17 per cent growth in YoY footwear revenue. The brand also previewed the all-new Cascadia Elite, a shoe that’s helped propel Brooks’ elite trail athletes to 12 first place finishes and 30 podiums this season. Core franchises continued to post gains with Adrenaline GTS up 20 per cent and Glycerin up 29 per cent while full-price products grew 21 per cent.

Through its ongoing relationship with runDisney, Brooks launched limited-edition product at the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend in September.

From the Brooks House of Mountains at Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) in Chamonix to the Brooks Hyperion Houseboat at the TCS Sydney Marathon, Brooks brought its unique energy to the global running community in Q3 through a series of immersive brand experiences at iconic running events.

In Tokyo and Berlin, Brooks opened its signature Hyperion Houses where runners could try on new products and experience the brand in real life, added the release.

Revenues in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) declined 4 per cent cFX to €581 million, affected by subdued tourism flows despite a slight sequential improvement. Americas’ revenues rose 2 per cent cFX to €219.6 million, with Q3 growth of 5 per cent cFX driven by double-digit DTC sales.

Moncler brand’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel grew 1 per cent cFX to €1,255.4 million, maintaining stable performance through Q3 despite macroeconomic headwinds. Wholesale revenues fell 5 per cent cFX to €297.8 million, reflecting Moncler’s continued focus on distribution quality and network optimisation.

Stone Island recorded revenues of €288.1 million (~$334.1 million) in 9M 2025 (–1 per cent cFX), with Q3 revenues flat year-on-year. Performance was shaped by a robust DTC segment and a wholesale decline due to shipment timing differences between quarters.

EMEA declined 4 per cent cFX to €196.2 million, as robust DTC growth was offset by weaker wholesale sales.

The DTC channel advanced 9 per cent cFX to €145.1 million, accounting for over half of total sales, while wholesale revenues dropped 9 per cent cFX to €143.0 million due to shipment timing differences but showed sequential improvement during the quarter.

Stone Island operated 92 directly operated stores and 11 wholesale mono-brand stores as of September 30, 2025. Notably, the brand relocated its flagship store in New York City during the quarter.

Meanwhile, in the third quarter (Q3), group revenues totalled €615.6 million (–1 per cent cFX YoY), with Moncler and Stone Island contributing €514.2 million and €101.4 million respectively. Both brands demonstrated sequential improvement in their direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels, reflecting effective execution amid subdued market demand.

More than just a space, it is a powerful expression of our culture—where creativity meets innovation, and where our people come together with strong energy and a deep sense of belonging to shape the future of our brand.”

Wrangler delivered another quarter of growth, Helly Hansen outperformed, and we improved marketplace health through disciplined inventory management. Based on strong year-to-date performance, we are raising our full-year outlook and are positioned to finish a record year with momentum,” said Scott Baxter, president, CEO, and chairman at Kontoor Brands.

Brand-wise, Wrangler global revenue reached $471 million, up 2 per cent YoY, despite shipment timing impacts. US revenue rose 1 per cent, driven by an 11 per cent increase in direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales, while wholesale remained flat.

International revenue grew 6 per cent, supported by gains in both wholesale and DTC channels. Lee brand global revenue was $187 million, down 8 per cent YoY, impacted by proactive inventory management actions in China worth $7 million.

The brand generated $40 million in US sales and $153 million internationally, performing above expectations in both revenue and profitability.

The company noted a 60-bps impact from the Helly Hansen acquisition. Excluding Helly Hansen, adjusted gross margin increased 140 basis points, offsetting higher product costs and newly imposed tariffs, added the release.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $288 million reported and $269 million adjusted, equating to 31.5 per cent of revenue. Excluding Helly Hansen, adjusted SG&A remained stable at $195 million, aided by reduced distribution and freight costs.

Kontoor ended the quarter with $82 million in cash and $1.34 billion in long-term debt. The company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and maintained $494 million available for borrowing.

Inventory stood at $765 million, inclusive of Helly Hansen. Excluding it, inventory increased 21 per cent to $560 million, driven by earlier receipts due to improved supply chain lead times and tariff effects. The company expects inventory to fall to about $645 million by the fourth quarter.

For the full fiscal 2025 (FY25), Kontoor Brands raised its guidance, projecting revenue to reach the high end of the $3.09–3.12 billion range, representing 19–20 per cent YoY growth. Adjusted gross margin is expected to reach 46.4 per cent, a 130-bps improvement over 2024. Adjusted operating income is forecast at $449 million, up 18 per cent, compared to the prior outlook of $443 million. Adjusted EPS is anticipated at $5.50, a 12 per cent rise from 2024 levels, slightly above the previous projection of $5.45.

Cash from operations is expected to approximate $400 million, higher than the earlier forecast of exceeding $375 million. The company plans an additional $185 million voluntary term loan repayment in Q4, bringing total 2025 repayments to $235 million.

Helly Hansen is expected to contribute $460 million in annual revenue and $0.20 to adjusted EPS, consistent with earlier guidance. Fourth-quarter revenue is projected between $970 million and $980 million, representing 39–40 per cent growth, with a four-point benefit from a 53^rd week.

Kontoor anticipates capital expenditures of around $25 million and an effective tax rate of 21 per cent for the year. Interest expense should total $50 million and adjusted other expense approximately $11 million.

“We are raising our full year outlook to reflect stronger revenue and earnings growth, accelerating cash generation, and the scaling benefits from Project Jeanius,” added Baxter. “We expect the near-term environment to remain dynamic, but I am confident our strong fundamentals, operational execution, and increasing capital allocation optionality will continue to drive strong value creation for our shareholders.”
