• Aritzia reported exceptional Q2 momentum, with net revenue up 44% to CAD 1.17 billion, comparable sales up 35%, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 590 basis points to a record 21%, excluding CAD 97 million in tariff refunds.
• Growth was broad-based, led by the U.S. where revenue increased 60% and digital revenue surged 68%; retail also delivered double-digit comparable sales growth, supported by strong productivity from new and repositioned boutiques.
• Management raised full-year revenue guidance to CAD 4.78 billion–CAD 4.88 billion and now expects adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 20%. The company also plans 12–13 new boutiques and four to five repositions, while continuing opportunistic share repurchases.
• Q3 revenue growth is expected to moderate to 23%–27%, with comparable sales growth in the high teens as Aritzia laps unusually strong prior-year results, including the mobile-app launch. Q3 SG&A is also expected to rise 50–100 basis points due to the timing of investments in technology, distribution, AI, and other infrastructure.
• Inventory ended Q2 up 36% year over year at CAD 715 million, which management said reflects stronger positioning and an under-inventoried comparison base; executives believe it is sufficient to support holiday demand while maintaining improved markdown performance.
