Zumiez Inc. (ZUMZ-10.00%) has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.
The filing reports net sales of $889.2 million, an increase of 1.6% compared to the previous fiscal year. This growth was driven primarily by an increase in comparable sales, particularly in the men's apparel category.
Gross profit for the fiscal year was $303.0 million, representing 34.1% of net sales, an increase from 32.1% in the prior year. This improvement was attributed to a higher product margin and efficiencies in shipping and distribution costs.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to $301.1 million from $345.7 million in the previous year. This decrease was largely due to a goodwill impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2023.
Operating profit for the year was $1.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $64.8 million in fiscal 2023. The improvement is attributed to higher sales and lower expenses.
Net loss for the fiscal year was $1.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $62.6 million, or $3.25 per diluted share, in the prior year.
