SALES IMPACTED BY WHOLESALE CUSTOMER CAUTION

  • Total sales +0.1% YOY in 1H FY25, improving from -6.7% during Q1 to +6.5% during Q2.

  • Difficult trading in the broader surf industry is reflected in this result, and has led to significant changes to the competitive landscape in North America. Key competitor store closures may cause short-term headwinds as inventory is divested.

  • Direct-to-consumer sales (incl. online) +4.1%, reflecting strong sales growth over the key Australasian summer and Christmas trading period. Also, stronger results in Europe and South America, supported by store openings.

  • Online sales +13.9% to $21.1m, comprising 11.5% of DTC sales.

  • Wholesale sales -7.9%, as wholesale accounts remain cautious on pre-season commitments in a challenging market. Forward orders support an improving wholesale trend through 2025.

GROSS MARGIN AND OPERATING EXPENSES WELL CONTROLLED

  • Gross margin increased +0.2% of sales with channel and product mix offsetting the impact of increased promotional intensity in a tough trading environment.

  • Operating expenses tightly managed while facing global cost pressure.

New Rip Curl CEO Ashley Reade has been appointed, bringing two decades of global strategic leadership in the sportwear industry.

  • Total sales -6.3% YOY.

  • Online sales +32.8% grew strongly over the Black Friday and Christmas promotions, reinforcing the growth opportunity for the brand.

  • Wholesale sales -10.6% as wholesale accounts remain cautious on preseason commitments in a challenging market, partly offset by improved inseason buying from key accounts.

  • Forward orders and in-season buying from key accounts support an improving wholesale trend through 2025.

GROSS MARGIN AND OPERATING EXPENSES

  • Gross margin decreased -5.7% of sales as clearance of excess inventory has contributed to lower gross margins YOY. Gross margin on core styles and new launches remains in line with historical margins.

  • Operating expenses tightly controlled YOY. Investment to be leveraged with future sales growth as the market recovers.

  • Note: The Kathmandu segment includes 1H FY25 $3.4m sales of Oboz products in Kathmandu AU & NZ stores at full vertical gross margin (1H FY24 $2.2m).

1. The impacts of IFRS 16, restructuring, and the notional amortisation of customer relationships are excluded from underlying results. Refer to Appendix 2 for a reconciliation of Statutory to Underlying results.

1. Tropical Cyclone Alfred has impacted Queensland and Northern New South Wales stores for both brands, with approximately 100 lost trading days. Rip Curl store locations have been most materially impacted.

TRADING UPDATE

  • DTC sales (including online) for the first 7 full weeks to 16 March 2025, a seasonally non-significant trading period for both brands:

  • Kathmandu +5.2% YOY[*1] . Gross margin is under pressure YOY due to increased promotional intensity in a competitive trading environment.

  • Rip Curl global DTC sales for owned stores and websites approximately +0.7% YOY[ *1] . Gross margin remains resilient YOY.

OUTLOOK

  • Wholesale accounts remain cautious on pre-season commitments in a challenging market. Forward orders and in-season buying from key accounts support an improving wholesale trend through 2025.

  • Short-term gross margin pressure for all brands in a highly competitive global market, with a focus on growing gross margin in the medium-term as markets improve.

  • Monitoring the impact of geopolitical uncertainty on consumer confidence and supply chains. Global monetary policy settings have been easing but the return of consumer confidence will take time.

  • We continue to focus on delivering positive sales growth, improving profitability, maximising cash flows, and reducing inventory.

  • We believe with our portfolio of iconic global outdoor brands and leadership in sustainability, we remain a unique investment proposition and well-placed for the future.
