Successful Sub-Brand Momentum
The Festi brand is identified as a clear winner, with Nightfall and Retro performing well. Belle Isle is more of a first-half brand, and the company introduced a successful interactive business.
Store Closure Optimization
Store closures have resulted in over $18 million in cost reductions for the year. This is expected to result in substantial EBITDA margin expansion in 2026 with an improved leverage profile.
Denim and Dresses Performance
Despite challenges in other areas, denim and non-denim dresses have shown successful performance, with innovation in leg shape and wash treatment driving growth.
