Zumiez Inc. Announces Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results
Zumiez posted Q2 fiscal 2026 net sales of $209.0 million, down 2.5% year over year, with comparable sales down 2.1%. The net loss widened to $2.7 million, or $0.17 per share, from a $1.0 million, or $0.06, loss in the prior-year quarter.
CEO Rick Brooks attributed the decline to a weaker U.S. business marked by continued softness in footwear and lower traffic, partially offset by growth in international regions. First-half net sales rose 0.9% to $402.3 million with a $16.0 million net loss.
The soft trend extended into the current quarter: net sales for the 37 days ended September 7, 2026 fell 4.3% with comparable sales down 3.5%. Zumiez introduced Q3 guidance of $222-$226 million in net sales and EPS of $0.00-$0.10.
The company repurchased 1.5 million shares fiscal year-to-date for $29.5 million and plans roughly 5 store openings against 16 closures in fiscal 2026.
