The Columbia Sportswear Company, the outdoor lifestyle brand, has announced its Q4 and full year financial results for 2025.

Net sales across the quarter shrunk by 2 per cent from the previous year, totalling $1.07 billion. Operating income also fell by 15 per cent across the same period.

Across the year, however, net sales increased by 1 per cent from 2024, and gross margin expanded 30 basis points to 50.5 per cent of net sales from 50.2 per cent of net sales, compared to 2024. Columbia said that the 2025 gross margin included $31 million of costs from tariffs.

“We’re pleased to have delivered net sales and profitability exceeding our guidance for the fourth quarter driven by better-than-expected demand in the US,” chairman and CEO Tim Boyle said.

“While our US business remains challenged, I’m encouraged with continued growth internationally combined with early signs of momentum indicating that the Columbia ‘Accelerate’ growth strategy is resonating with consumers, including new and enhanced product collections and differentiated marketing.”

Boyle added that the company has seen momentum through new product collections and noted further launches in the future.

“This momentum positions us well for continued success as we execute our vision and continue investing across all our brands.”

Columbia’s multi-year growth strategy is designed to attract younger and more active customers.
