YETI (NYSE:YETI) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.07 EPS

YETI (NYSE:YETI) issued its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.91 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.84 by $0.07, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $517.93 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $523.07 million. YETI had a net margin of 9.24% and a return on equity of 23.79%. YETI’s revenue was up 4.4% on a year-over-year basis. During the same quarter last year, the company posted $0.48 earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from YETI’s conference call:

• YETI lowered its full-year adjusted sales growth outlook to approximately 6%, from 7%–8%, citing softer demand and a more deal-focused consumer. Management expects demand to remain pressured in Q4.
• Third-quarter adjusted sales rose 6% to approximately $518 million, while adjusted gross margin expanded 310 basis points to 59%. Adjusted operating income increased 35% and adjusted diluted EPS rose 49% to $0.91.
• International sales increased 19% and wholesale sales grew 19%, led by strength in Europe and Australia. DTC declined 3%, partly reflecting the Prime Day timing shift and comparisons with prior-year product restocking.
• Drinkware growth faced an estimated 500-basis-point drag from concentrated SKUs in Q3, with a roughly 600-basis-point impact expected for the full year; management expects this pressure to largely ease in 2027. YETI cited more than 50 active Project Upcycle initiatives and ongoing product innovation as longer-term growth and productivity opportunities.
