COVID-19 impact and response

COVID-19 has substantially impacted the global business:

  • 60 Greater Melbourne stores closed for over 11 weeks

Rapid response to changes in consumer preference:

  • Rip Curl responded quickly to demand for wetsuits and related surfing products, as participation in surfing increased

  • 14 Auckland stores closed for two weeks

  • Airport and CBD stores, as well as Rip Curl stores in Hawaii, Bali, and Europe are still impacted by either COVID-19 related travel restrictions or government mandated lockdowns and closures

  • Kathmandu up-weighted its focus on summer camping and footwear to respond to increased interest in local travel and adventure

  • Omni-channel capability allowed our brands to capture record demand for the online channel

  • Wholesale sales for 1H FY21 impacted by the missed sell-in season during initial global lockdowns in April and May 2020 for delivery in October to December 2020

World’s first Biodegradable Fleece

Built in partnership with Primaloft, a great looking, versatile pair of everyday rightpriced silhouettes:

  • In modern landfills, the fabric will mostly biodegrade into natural elements within about two years[*1] (a normal recycled polyester fleece jacket could take a hundred years)

Broadening customer appeal

  • Where Kathmandu’s technical experience with performance materials meets versatile, stylish, category-defying silhouettes

  • During wash, the micro fibres cast off from the fabric can biodegrade[*1] in sea water to a much larger degree than standard recycled polyester, reducing ocean microplastic waste

  • The first step in our journey to open the style aperture and invite a younger, more cosmopolitan consumer to the brand

1. See www.kathmandu.co.nz/biofleece for information about the test methods used and the rates and extent of degradation
