Levi Strauss & Co, the owner of the world-famous Levi’s, has reported sales uplift in the final quarter of the financial year.
The company reported a 1 per cent increase in net revenues to $1.8 billion for the quarter ended November 30. Organic net revenues, which exclude foreign exchange rates, divestments and acquisitions, rose 5 per cent.
Sales in the Americas were down 4 per cent on a reported basis, including a 7 per cent drop in the US. Meanwhile, the company saw an 8 per cent growth in Europe and a 4 per cent growth in Asia.
“Over the past few years, we’ve taken bold steps toward becoming a [direct-to-consumer] first, head-to-toe denim lifestyle brand,” said Michelle Gass, president and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co.
The company’s operating margin held at 11.9 per cent, and gross margin increased by 61.7 per cent from the 2024 financial year.
Net income from continuing operations was $160 million compared to $180 million in the year-ago period. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) fell 12 per cent to $213 million.
Gass added: “We have narrowed our focus, improved operational execution and built greater agility across the organization. As a result, we’ve elevated the Levi’s brand and delivered faster growth and higher profitability, as reflected by our Q4 and full year 2025 results.
“While we still have important work ahead, the company is at an inflection point—emerging as a stronger, more resilient global business ready to define the next chapter of LS&Co.”
For the full year, the company’s net revenues grew 4 per cent to $6.3 billion (up 7 per cent on an organic basis). Its EBIT rose 11 per cent to $719 million.
Levi Strauss’ chief financial and growth officer, Harmit Singh, said that the increase in EBIT for the third consecutive year is allowing the company to expand beyond its current market.
