04:33 PM EDT, 05/01/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Aritzia ( ATZAF ) on Thursday said its fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted profit rose on higher sales.
The clothing retailer said its adjusted profit, excluding most one-time items, rose to $98 million, or $0.83 per share, in the quarter ended March 2, from $38.2 million, or $0.34 per share, a year ago. FactSet expected an adjusted profit of $0.70 per share.
Revenue rose 31% to $895.1 million from $682 million in the year-ago quarter. FactSet projected revenue of $845.8 million.
For fiscal 2026, Aritzia ( ATZAF ) expects net revenue to be between $3.05 billion and $3.25 billion, reflecting growth of about 11% to 19% from fiscal 2025. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization are projected to be about 14% to 15% of net revenue, compared to 14.8% in fiscal 2025.
Looking further ahead, the retailer now anticipates capital cash expenditures between fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2027 to total about $750 million, up from the previously estimated $500 million. This increase is largely due to accelerated store growth and currency-related impacts, it added.
Aritzia ( ATZAF ) said it "continues to assess the direct and indirect impacts to its business of such tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or other trade protectionist measures implemented as this situation continues to develop, and such impacts could be material."
The company's shares closed up $1.11 to $49.60 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
