Net sales for fiscal 2027 are expected to be approximately $2.71 billion, which incorporates the loss of approximately $470 million of sales from Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger products. This compares to net sales of $2.96 billion for fiscal 2026.
Net income is expected to be between $171.0 million and $175.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $3.85 and $3.95. This compares to net income of $67.4 million, or $1.51 per diluted share for fiscal 2026.
Non-GAAP net income is expected to be between $95.0 million and $99.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $2.15 and $2.25. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $116.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of $2.61 for fiscal 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $178.0 million and $182.0 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $192.4 million in fiscal 2026.
Net interest income is expected to be approximately $2.0 million.
Tax rate is estimated to be approximately 30.0% for GAAP purposes and 33.5% for non-GAAP purposes. The tax rate for non-GAAP purposes is higher than our previous estimate as a result of higher non-deductible expenses.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 is expected to be between $7.0 million and $11.0 million, or diluted earnings per share between $0.15 and $0.25. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $11.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter.
