Q2 FY27 earnings call · Aug 26, 2026TL;DR. ANF reported record Q2 net sales of $1.27B (+5%, 15th consecutive quarter of growth) with EPS of $4.17 well above outlook, driven by an IEEPA tariff refund and underlying margin strength; the company raised full-year sales growth to ~5%, lifted operating margin outlook to 14.5–15.0%, and increased EPS guidance to $13.10–$13.60 along with boosted share repurchases of at least $500M.
- + Record Q2 net sales of $1.3B, up 5%, marking 15th consecutive quarter of growth with growth across regions and brands
- + Q2 EPS of $4.17 beat outlook of $1.80–$2.00, driven by ~$100M IEEPA tariff refund and underlying margin outperformance
- + Abercrombie brands grew 8% with improving conversion and reduced promotions while inventory remains tight
- + Increased share repurchases to at least $500M for 2026 (from ~$450M) with $177M repurchased in Q2
- + Q3 outlook calls for 5–6% net sales growth and 13–14% operating margin with accelerating Hollister momentum into August
- − Effective tariff rate of 10–12.5% on global imports remains a headwind, with freight costs largely offsetting tariff favorability
- − APAC strategic review remains ongoing, signaling uncertainty around the path to capture growth in the region
- − ERP implementation completed in Q1 drives slight Q3 operating expense deleverage from incremental payroll and amortization

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
