Children’s Place provides update on tariff pressures

Umair said, “Tariff pressures continue to affect our bottom line, and we now expect the impact of tariffs to result in incremental expenses of approximately $15 million to $20 million for fiscal year 2025, a reduction from our previously estimated impact of $20 million to $25 million. We further expect an incremental impact of $25 million to $30 million in the first half of fiscal year 2026, the majority of which will be mitigated through our strategic initiatives. We remain focused on controlling our costs, and we are increasing the estimate of gross benefits from our previously announced transformation initiative from $40 million to $50 million over the next three years. The Company has already implemented cost actions that will result in over $25 million in gross annualized benefits, offset by approximately $5 million to $10 million in one-time costs. As part of our transformation efforts, we officially opened our new office in Pakistan during the quarter, that will realize cost efficiencies and set the foundation for further cost-saving initiatives. We are confident that these initiatives will improve our cost structure and set us up for long-term success.”
