Columbia Sportswear Beats Q4 Sales Estimates With $1.07B, Guides 1–3% 2026 Growth
Columbia Sportswear reported Q4 2025 net sales of $1.07 billion, beating the $1.037 billion estimate but declining 2% year-over-year due to timing shifts in wholesale shipments. The company forecasts 2026 net sales of $3.43 billion to $3.50 billion, implying 1%–3% growth driven by direct-to-consumer and international channels.
1. Q4 2025 Sales Performance
Columbia Sportswear generated net sales of $1.070 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, surpassing consensus by $33 million despite a 2% year-over-year drop. The decline reflected timing shifts that pulled some Fall 2025 wholesale shipments into earlier periods, while direct-to-consumer channels and international markets remained strong against softer U.S. demand.

For fiscal 2026, Columbia Sportswear projects net sales of $3.43 billion to $3.50 billion, representing 1%–3% growth from 2025.
