Guess? Q1 2026 Earnings Report

Guess? reported a net loss in Q1 2026 despite solid revenue growth led by the integration of rag & bone and strong wholesale gains.

Key Takeaways

Guess? delivered stronger-than-expected top-line results in Q1 FY26, supported by growth across most regions and successful integration of rag & bone. However, increased expenses, unfavorable currency impact, and asset impairments led to a net loss.

Revenue rose 9% year-over-year to $647.8 million, with strong growth in Americas Wholesale and Europe.

The company posted a GAAP net loss of $32.9 million and an adjusted net loss of $22.3 million.

Operating income declined due to higher expenses and currency impacts, resulting in a GAAP operating loss of $33.3 million.

Guess? continues to invest in strategic initiatives including expanding rag & bone, Guess Jeans, and Athleisure lines.
