“The continued strength across major merchandise categories, channels, and geographies reaffirms the broad appeal of our brand and the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives,” Hazen said.

Looking ahead, the company noted that it was issuing first quarter and fiscal 2026 guidance for “what it can reasonably expect at this time.”
