04:39 PM EDT, 10/09/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Aritzia ( ATZAF ) , after trade Thursday, said its fiscal second-quarter adjusted profit rose on higher sales.

The clothing retailer said its adjusted profit, excluding most one-time items, rose to $69.8 million, or $0.59 per share, in the quarter ended Aug.31, up from $24.5 million, or $0.21, a year ago. FactSet expected $0.39 per share.

Revenue rose 32% to $812.1 million from $615.7 million in the year-ago quarter, "driven by strong comparable sales growth and the company's new and repositioned boutiques," Aritzia ( ATZAF ) said. FactSet projected revenue of $752.5 million.

"Our performance was fueled by robust demand for our high-quality beautiful products, including an outstanding response to our Fall launch, as well as our strong inventory position, strategic marketing investments and new boutique openings," chief executive Jennifer Wong said.

The company expects fiscal Q3 net revenue to be between $875 million and $900 million. For the full fiscal 2026, Aritzia ( ATZAF ) projects net revenue between $3.30 billion and $3.35 billion and adjusted EBITDA to reach about 15.5% to 16.5% of revenue.

Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, Aritzia ( ATZAF ) now expects its adjusted EBITDA margin to reach the high teens, slightly below its earlier target of 19%, "due to additional pressure from U.S. reciprocal tariffs and the elimination of the de minimis exemption."

Aritzia ( ATZAF ) shares closed down $2.27 to $79.54 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
