Canada Goose forecasts low-single-digit revenue growth for FY25
For fiscal 2025, Canada Goose expects revenue to grow in the low-single-digits, DTC comparable sales growth in the low-single-digits and incremental revenue from three new stores and four concession-based shop-in-shops to contribute to DTC revenue growth.
The company forecasts a 20 percent decrease in wholesale revenue due to a tightening of the wholesale order book to largely offset the benefit contributed by DTC revenue growth and the planned pricing increase.
Consolidated gross margin percentage is expected to be similar to fiscal 2024.
As a result of the above, non-IFRS adjusted EBIT margin is expected to expand by approximately 100 basis points compared to fiscal 2024 and adjusted net income per diluted share to grow by a mid-teen percentage year-over-year.
