Speaker #1: Thank you. You may begin your conference.
Speaker #2: Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our Q4 2025 earnings call. On the call today, I will briefly review our fourth quarter and full-year financial results, which our CFO, Leon Wu, will cover in more detail.
Speaker #2: And then discuss our operational highlights. Our strong momentum carried through the fourth quarter, our largest quarter of the year. Total Q4 sales reached $115.5 million, up 4.2% year over year.
Speaker #2: Driven by direct-to-consumer comparable sales growth of 7.3%, or 14.8% on a two-year stack basis. This growth was supported by strong customer reception to our core and seasonal product offerings, marketing initiatives that drove direct-to-consumer traffic, and operational improvements in store conversion.
Speaker #2: For the full year, we delivered revenue of $277.7 million, up 5.6%, with direct-to-consumer comparable sales growth of 9.5%. Full-year gross margin reached a record 61.3%, up 150 basis points.
Speaker #2: Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.5% to $23.3 million. Net income was $4.7 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $33.4 million in fiscal 2024.
Speaker #2: And net debt was reduced 42% year over year to $4.3 million. Overall, fiscal 2025 was a year of strong growth and continued momentum. And these results reflect the effectiveness of our strategy and the discipline of our execution.
Speaker #2: I will now turn to the fourth quarter operational highlights, which drove our positive year-over-year performance. The consumer environment continued to be dynamic throughout the fourth quarter.
Speaker #2: Against this backdrop, Roots delivered strong, quality results, with our product offerings resonating well with customers. These results underscore the differentiated position of the Roots brand and the value customers place in our heritage, quality, and comfort.
Speaker #2: Our merchandising strategy continued to gain momentum in the fourth quarter. Growth more than doubled year over year and has become a meaningful component of our select business.
Speaker #2: Our active work category also delivered double-digit growth. Continuing to become a more significant part of our product mix, our weighted collaboration with Universal Studios, which launched in November, generated significant brand feeds and a very positive customer response.
Speaker #2: Fast productivity continued to improve, reflecting tighter assortments, more disciplined buys, and our ongoing investments in AI-driven allocation tools. We also continue to drive margin improvements through sourcing, which remained a meaningful opportunity as we scaled the business.
Speaker #2: As we looked at fiscal 2026, we see upside opportunities increasing the depth of certain collections, where customer demand outpaced supply in the fourth quarter.
Speaker #2: Our marketing efforts in the fourth quarter were focused on driving brand awareness and customer engagement during our most important selling season. The quarter was highlighted by the launch of our Anything Roots holiday campaign, featuring Seth Rovin.
Speaker #2: The campaign ran across out-of-home placements, social media, Spotify, and streaming platforms, including Netflix and Prime Video. Seth Rovin's warmth, authenticity, and unmistakable Canadian charm align strongly with the brand and acted as a great addition to our diverse marketing during the holiday season.
Speaker #2: We also continue to build on Roots' heritage and sports partnerships during the quarter. Our collaboration with the NFL on a limited-edition capsule collection celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Super Bowl brought together football heritage with classic Canadian design, and was well received.
Speaker #2: We also launched our Roots Toronto Blue Jays collection, connecting the brand with one of the most exciting seasons in the franchise's history. During the quarter, we expanded investments in paid media across the full marketing funnel.
Speaker #2: These efforts, combined with the learnings from our testing throughout fiscal 2025, are informing a more disciplined and data-driven approach to creative testing and media spend as we enter fiscal 2026.
Speaker #2: We are closely monitoring the impact of agentic AI on customer product discovery. In continuing to adapt to this evolving landscape, we see both opportunity and complexity, and have consumers beginning to interact with brands through AI-powered platforms.
Speaker #2: And we are positioning Roots to benefit from these shifts. Our brand ambassador program played a more significant role in our fourth-quarter performance than in previous years.
Speaker #2: And even less to reach more consumers across multiple geographies with varied interests. Consumers also responded positively to our curated offers on core franchises and gifting categories, and the Witty Life Holiday approach helped reinforce Roots as a destination for thoughtful gift giving.
Speaker #2: Now turning to our retail and e-commerce performance. Our omni-channel performance in the fourth quarter reflects strong contributions from both channels. The 7.3% increase in comparable sales in the quarter, which is 14.8% on a two-year stack basis, reflects the positive impact of this strategy on performance.
Speaker #2: In our retail channel, store conversion improved year over year, reflecting the continued benefits of our investments in digital merchandising, sales associate training, and store-hour optimization.
Speaker #2: Our store productivity improvements continue to drive an increase in sales per square foot across the network. In e-commerce, our paid media efforts drove substantial traffic to the channel.
Speaker #2: We continue to invest in personalization and search in product merchandising, and made improvements in the shoppability of our landing pages and overall customer experience.
Speaker #2: These initiatives will carry forward and build upon each other as we enter fiscal 2026. During the quarter, we continue to advance key operational initiatives that will position the business for long-term scalability and efficiency.
Speaker #2: In January 2026, we announced a new 10-year strategic distribution partnership with Metro Supply Chain, Canada's leading privately owned third-party logistics provider. This partnership will result in Roots' distribution moving from our current company-operated facility to Metro Supply Chain's technology-enabled facility in Ontario.
Speaker #2: This is a significant step in strengthening our supply chain infrastructure and enhancing our omni-channel capabilities. The transition is expected to be completed by July 2026, and we are pleased with the progress to date.
Speaker #2: As mentioned, we continue to advance our use of artificial intelligence across the business. On the operational side, our AI-driven inventory allocation and replenishment tools are contributing to improved sell productivity and more disciplined inventory management.
Speaker #2: We are also investing in our data infrastructure to unlock deeper customer insights and support more informed decision-making across the organization. More broadly, as AI-powered platforms increasingly mediate the shopping journey, we believe it is important for Roots to be well positioned in this emerging landscape.
Speaker #2: We are actively working to ensure our product data content and digital infrastructure are optimized for AI discovery. We believe brands with strong heritage and authentic differentiation, like Roots, are well positioned to benefit from this shift.
Speaker #2: Turning now to some leadership changes. I'm pleased to highlight the announcement of Rosie Poser as Chief Commercial Officer, which we announced in February 2026.
Speaker #2: Rosie joined Roots following a successful tenure at Sephora Canada, where she held senior leadership roles, including Senior Vice President, Retail, and Chief Operating Officer.
Speaker #2: She has been with Roots for the last year as our head of omni-channel growth, and her role at Roots will help sharpen our enterprise priorities and accelerate decision-making to unlock new areas of growth.
Speaker #2: She has already made meaningful contributions in her time with us, and I'm confident she will be instrumental in advancing our strategy. Now, before passing the call over to Leon, I'd like to briefly address the strategic review that the Board of Directors announced on March 3, 2026.
Speaker #2: As we look at the transformation that has occurred at the company since fiscal 2019, I'm incredibly proud of the team's accomplishments. Our balance sheet reflects a fundamentally different company.
Speaker #2: In fiscal 2019, the company carried approximately $96 million in net debt. Today, net debt stands at $4.3 million. With a leverage ratio of less than 0.2 times trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA, the gross margin trajectory reflects the successful repositioning of Roots as a premium brand.
Speaker #2: In fiscal 2019, gross margin was 53.4%. And over 60% of our customers purchased something on sale. In fiscal 2025, we achieved a record gross margin of 61.3%.
Speaker #2: And over 70% of our customers purchased at full price. We've also delivered meaningful returns to shareholders. In fiscal 2019, adjusted net income per share was $0.10.
Speaker #2: In fiscal 2025, adjusted net income per share was $0.22, more than double. Undoubtedly, Roots' strong fundamentals and irreplicable heritage make it an attractive brand.
Speaker #2: As we dispose of the time, the board initiated a review of strategic alternatives to identify the opportunities to maximize value for all shareholders. As stated in the announcement, the company does not intend to disclose developments with respect to the strategic review.
Speaker #2: Unless and until the board has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determines that disclosure is appropriate or required by law, there could be no assurances that the review will result in any specific action, transaction, or agreement.
Speaker #2: And we will not be providing further commentary or taking questions on this matter today. The management team remains dedicated to executing on our strategic priorities and to operating the business in the best interest of all stakeholders.
Speaker #2: Now, moving to our strategic outlook. As our results highlighted, our strategy remains consistent and focused. We are strengthening our core franchises, expanding into complementary categories, and increasing the clarity and differentiation within our assortments.
Speaker #2: We are elevating the brand through collaboration, heritage storytelling, and more targeted marketing. We are enhancing our omni-channel experience with a focus on convenience, speed, and personalization.
Speaker #2: We are driving operational excellence across the business, including through our new distribution partnership with Metro Supply Chain and the appointment of a Chief Commercial Officer.
Speaker #2: And we are taking a disciplined approach to capital allocation, as evidenced by our net debt reduction, share purchase activity under our normal course issuer bid, and prudent investment decisions.
Speaker #2: As we look to 2026, we are mindful of the evolving macro and trade environment. We're monitoring these developments closely and are focused on mitigating their impact while continuing to invest in the long-term growth of the brand.
Speaker #2: Before turning the call over to Leon, I would like to thank our employees for their dedication and hard work through fiscal 2025. Their contributions have been instrumental in the progress we have made.
Speaker #2: I would also like to thank our customers for their continued loyalty to the brand. Roots is a brand with deep heritage, a commitment to quality, and a genuine connection to community and nature that continues to set us apart.
Speaker #2: With that, I will now turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Leon Wu, for a deeper review of our financial results. Thank you, Megan.
Speaker #2: And good morning, everyone. I am pleased to share our fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2025 results, which marked the sixth consecutive quarter of growth in top-line sales and gross margins.
Speaker #2: While we continue to reduce our year-over-year net debt, these results reflect the strength of our brand and the collective efforts of our product, channel, and marketing teams, who continue to execute with discipline and consistency.
Speaker #2: Fiscal 2025 was a milestone year for Roots. We delivered record gross margins, robust free cash flow, and meaningful earnings improvement, all while continuing to invest in the long-term growth of the brand.
Speaker #2: I will now share some more details on the key elements of our results, beginning with our fourth quarter before summarizing our full-year performance. Q4 2025 sales were $115.5 million, increasing 4.2% as compared to $110.8 million in Q4 2024.
Speaker #2: Our DTC segment sales were $107 million in the quarter, growing 5.7% relative to $101.2 million last year. Our comparable same-store sales grew 7.3% in the quarter and 14.8% on a two-year stack basis.
Speaker #2: With positive momentum across both our store and e-commerce channels, the strong DTC sales performance during our largest quarter reflects a strong consumer reception to our core and seasonal product offerings, supported by marketing initiatives that drove traffic growth and operational initiatives that improved our store conversion.
Speaker #2: As Megan mentioned, the combination of compelling product curation and authentic brand storytelling continued to resonate with our customers. Our partner and other sales were $8.5 million in Q4 2025, down 11.5% compared to $9.6 million last year.
Speaker #2: The decline in this segment was primarily driven by lower wholesale sales to our international operating partner in Taiwan, which, consistent with what we flagged last quarter, was a result of earlier fulfillment of holiday and spring orders that took place in Q3 of this year.
Speaker #2: This decline was partially offset by continued positive momentum across our other lines of business within the segment. On a full-year basis, total sales were $277.7 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of 5.6% compared to $262.9 million in fiscal 2024.
Speaker #2: DTC sales were $239.5 million, a 7.3% increase from $223.3 million last year, with full-year comparable sales growth of 9.5%, or 12.8% on a two-year stack basis.
Speaker #2: Partner and other sales amounted to $38.2 million, down 3.7%, driven entirely by the reduction in wholesale orders from our Taiwan operating partner, as we continue to support our partner in addressing their inventory optimization and operational opportunities.
Speaker #2: Excluding those sales, our Partner and Other segment would have grown 23% year over year, reflecting the strength in our other lines of business. Total gross profit was $71.4 million in Q4 2025, up 5.1% as compared to $68 million last year.
Speaker #2: Total gross margin was 61.8%, up 50 basis points compared to last year. Our Q4 2025 DTC gross margin was 62.5%, up 10 basis points from 62.4% last year.
Speaker #2: The DTC gross margin increase was driven by 30 basis points of product margin expansion from ongoing product cost improvements, partially offset by various factors, including unfavorable foreign exchange impacts on U.S. dollar inventory purchases and distribution center transition costs.
Speaker #2: For the full year, gross profit reached $170.2 million, up 8.3% from $157.1 million in fiscal 2024. Roots achieved a record high gross margin of 61.3% in fiscal 2025, up 150 basis points compared to 59.8% last year.
Speaker #2: A result we are very proud of, and that reflects a sustained, multi-year effort to improve our product economics through disciplined costing and promotional management.
Speaker #2: Full-year DTC gross margin was 63.4%, up 80 basis points from 62.6% in fiscal 2024. SG&A expenses were $49.3 million in Q4 2025, up 9.1% from $45.2 million in Q4 2024.
Speaker #2: The increase was primarily driven by $2.8 million in incremental marketing costs, reflecting the elevated Q4 marketing investments we signaled last quarter, and $0.8 million in higher variable selling costs resulting from our strong sales performance.
Speaker #2: SG&A also reflects $1.1 million in incremental U.S. duties paid on e-commerce sales following the elimination of the duty-free de minimis exemption, $600,000 of higher costs associated with changes in personnel, and $154,000 of higher non-cash share-based compensation costs.
Speaker #2: These increases were partially offset by a $1.6 million reduction.
Speaker #1: And store related occupancy capital , depreciation and impairment costs , reflecting the ongoing improvements in store productivity from our fleet optimization strategy . Full year sG&A expenses were 155.5 million , up 8.3% from 143.5 million in fiscal 2020 .
Speaker #1: For the increase was primarily driven by our intentional incremental investments in marketing and personnel and higher variable costs from increased sales , partially offset by lower store costs related to improved productivity In 2025 , we executed on a wide range of On a full year basis , net income totaled 4.7 million , or $0.12 per share , as compared to a net loss of 33.4 million , or $0.83 per share , in fiscal 2020 .
Speaker #1: Excluding the non-cash impairment charge and associated tax impacts recorded last year, fiscal 2024 net income would have been $3.3 million, or $0.08 per share.
Speaker #1: On that basis , full year net income improved 41.1% , and that income per share improved 50% year over year Full year adjusted EBITDA was 23.3 million , up 9.5% from 21.3 million in fiscal 2020 .
Speaker #1: For excluding the impacts from cash settled instruments under our share based compensation plan , fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA would have been 24.1 million , an increase of 12.6% compared to 21.4 million in fiscal 2024 .
Speaker #1: We are pleased with the continued year-over-year growth in our annual profitability metrics. The strong foundation set by consistent sales momentum and record gross margins allowed us to scale our full-year net income and adjusted EBITDA margins.
Speaker #1: While investing in incremental marketing to build long-term brand equity, the growth in our earnings per share metrics also reflects the benefits of share buybacks made under our NCIB.
Speaker #1: As part of our capital allocation strategy Now , turning over to our balance sheet and cash flow metrics , which also reflect the strong results from the quarter and full year ending inventory , was 45.1 million , up 9.9% as compared to 41 million at the end of last year Of the increase , 0.7 million was driven by the higher foreign exchange paid on our purchases The remaining increase was driven by investments in certain core collections and higher in-transit inventory .
Speaker #1: To support DTC sales for the upcoming year, along with an increase in inventory to support our growing North American B2B wholesale business, free cash flow was $40.8 million in Q4 2025.
Speaker #1: It increase of 3.5% as compared to 39.4 million in Q4 2020 . For the improvement in free cash flow was driven by higher sales and improvements in working capital during the quarter For the full year , free cash flow was 7.5 million , compared to 9.8 million last year , reflecting 3.1 million of higher corporate income taxes paid and 1.1 million in higher capital investments made throughout the year , partially offset by higher earnings and improvements in working capital .
Speaker #1: Under our normal course , issuer bid , we repurchased just over 264,000 common shares for 0.9 million and two for 2025 . For the full year , we repurchased just over 1.28 million common shares for total consideration of 4 million .
Speaker #1: The NCIB allows us to repurchase 1.3 million shares by the end of fiscal 2025. We have approximately 60,000 shares remaining under the current program, which is in effect until April 10, 2026.
Speaker #1: Net debt was 4.3 million at the end of fiscal 2025 , down 42.2% as compared to the end of last year , representing a continued improvement in our balance sheet Our net leverage ratio , measured as net debt over trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA , was less than 0.2 times .

Speaker #2: Thank you . If you would like to ask a question , please press star followed by one on your telephone keypad . If you would like to withdraw your question , please press star followed by two .
Speaker #2: When preparing to ask a question, please ensure your device is unmuted locally. Our first question comes from Brian Morrison with TD Cowen.
Speaker #2: Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Speaker #1: Morning, Megan. Morning.
Speaker #3: Liam .
Speaker #1: Morning .
Speaker #3: Brian . Hey , there's certainly been a lot of macro events the past six weeks . At a minimum , it's going on consumer sentiment .
Speaker #3: Can you just provide some color on what you're seeing in terms of same store sales ? Q1 to date and maybe also with respect to what you're seeing for freight costs and lead times , are you having any impact on that front I think we're operating in a dynamic environment , Brian .
Speaker #3: I think we won't comment specifically on Q1 trends at the point at this point , as we're just trying to focus on Q4 in the call .
Speaker #3: But I say, continue to be a dynamic environment. I think it's no different than really what we've seen over the last few years.
Speaker #3: It seems like every year there's something new that happens, and our focus as a company really has to maintain a good focus on product and customers, and serving the customer.
Speaker #3: The best way we possibly can You know , undoubtedly , if you look at longer term freight costs , there could be some pass through from that perspective .
Speaker #3: You know, oil prices continue to be high as they are today. We've obviously seen that in the past through different time periods and been able to manage through that.
Speaker #3: So at this point , we're really focused on managing the business and the controls that we have ourselves . And really thinking about making sure we have the right product in front of the customers , in the right places and really investing behind those things that we think are going to drive long term growth .
Speaker #1: Okay, maybe. Just turning to your marketing investment, it sounds like things are going well—both at the top and bottom of the funnel.
Speaker #1: What can we expect ? What are the key takeaways you saw in terms of what's working ? What didn't work in terms of partnerships , collaborations , or digital investment ?
Speaker #1: And when I think of fiscal '26, should I think of a similar magnitude driving leverage, or maintained as a percentage of sales?
Speaker #4: Yes. When a marketing perspective.
Speaker #3: I think you can definitely look at 25 as the year where we invested across a number of different parts of the funnel from a marketing perspective , to really get a better sense of , you know , with a brand like roots where we have almost 100% awareness across the Canadian marketplace , the things that we think are going to have the best return on our investment .
Speaker #3: So you saw us doing everything from the campaign to increasing influencer spending to paid media. And what we've now done into '26 is really looked at—
Speaker #3: All those different aspects of marketing spending and determined where we're getting a great return on our investment. What we need to do to maintain good brand engagement and awareness from a customer perspective, and where we can drive more efficiency.
Speaker #3: So, as you look to '26, we will be targeting a reduction in the overall marketing spend, because we think there's more efficiency in terms of how we can dedicate our dollars.
Speaker #3: And there's definitely certain areas where we think putting more dollars behind it will generate a better return on that investment and help overall sales.
Speaker #3: So I would say looking at 26 , so continue to see us moving around in marketing spend into those pockets and areas that we have the best return for us .
Speaker #3: And continuing to balance off the spending between your near-term sales and longer-term brand growth and development from a business perspective.
Speaker #1: Okay . That's helpful . The last question , maybe , I think in retail , we're all interested in AI right now and it's progress .
Speaker #1: You talked about inventory management and data-driven decisions. Maybe just the benefits you're seeing from your implementation, how material the costs are to implement, and the opportunity to expand further.
Speaker #4: Yeah ,
Speaker #3: I mean , I think when I look at it , I can take retail perspective . Oh , sorry , maybe I'll add something and you can jump in on the broader pieces from a high level perspective , I think your last question in terms of what we see , the potential benefits and the roadmap , I would say , you know , we really do see a lot of opportunity from an AI perspective .
Speaker #3: We're applying it across the company in a multitude of different areas. And we can jump into some things more specifically as it relates to that.
Speaker #3: But I think when you look at a business like ours, we think that we have opportunities to jump-start the productivity. We have an opportunity to kind of really get in front of the customers in different ways.
Speaker #3: From an AI perspective . And so we're really actively looking across the business to invest things that we think are going to drive the best return , whether that's on inventory management , whether that's , you know , in the e-commerce environment from a search perspective or email , whether that's customer service .
Speaker #3: There's a multitude of different places that we're investing our time. But holistically, we're really focusing on where we see value add.
Speaker #3: And then thinking about whether or not we can add AI to that, as opposed to just looking for AI tools to address a multitude of things.
Speaker #3: Do you want to add a few things?
Speaker #5: Yeah , and I think similar to what Megan saying , we've come a long way in terms of AI implementation and how it's really benefiting the operations of the business , not just the efficiency , but also the efficacy of how our operating .
Speaker #5: So Megan talked about early stages of how we manage our inventory allocation. So during the Q4 period, we saw great results from an improved stock-out rate.
Speaker #5: We have things like how we automate our customer service responses, which is helping us reduce some of the call center costs. So, there are various areas that we look at, and we continue to see opportunities coming ahead.
Speaker #5: And one of the areas we really invested in is building a very solid data platform that supports all of these AI initiatives.
Speaker #5: So building out our data warehouse, better identification of customers. So I think we're very well set up to really leverage a lot of the new technologies coming out going forward.
Speaker #1: Okay . Maybe one last one . I'll squeeze in here too . Just Megan , you did mention that you will go into more depth in certain product lines for 2026 .
Speaker #1: You had some not stock outs , but what product lines is this cloud ? Is this Rome ? What can we expect in terms of more in depth for next year
Speaker #3: Yes , absolutely . So we did actually have a few stock outs in a couple of categories in the fourth quarter . So when you look at that we do see some more upside potential in terms of sales that we could have generated if we had more inventory It actually crossed a multitude of categories .
Speaker #3: So with everything from some of our lifestyle products to some of the products within our cloud collection , certain silhouettes and styles So there were a few different pockets of areas that we saw I would say in addition to that , outside of things that were actually maybe stocked out , which was , you know , not , not a ton of things , but a few things .
Speaker #3: There were items where we realized that the demand associated with them could have a longer life cycle in the business. So, we may invest behind something and assume it may only be lived from July to October.
Speaker #3: Time period. And what we're seeing is that maybe it could live from July to April time period. And so we've been doing a lot of testing around that in the first quarter.
Speaker #3: And then into the fourth quarter, where we extended the life of certain things, or we brought in new collections that we would have otherwise only had for certain time periods, to get a better understanding of the consumer's reaction to these types of product categories.
Speaker #3: So, I would say it's across a multitude of things, out of our lifestyle sweats. There's never a place where we see an opportunity for us to put more depth behind it.
Speaker #3: And extend the life cycle of these products to be able to get more sales from our consumers.
Speaker #1: Very helpful. Thanks very much.
Speaker #2: There's another reminder: if you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Now, we have no further questions.
Speaker #2: I'll hand back to you, Megan Roach, for any final remarks.
Speaker #3: Well, thank you everyone for joining us today. We appreciate you coming to listen to our Q4 call. We look forward to speaking to you in the first quarter.
