Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the YETI Holdings Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call. This call is being recorded on Thursday, August 7, 2025. I would now like to turn the conference over to Arvind Bhatia, Head of Investor Relations, at YETI. Please go ahead, sir.

Good morning, and thank you for joining us to discuss YETI Holdings' Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results. Leading the call today will be Matt Reintjes, President and CEO; and Mike McMullen, CFO. Following our prepared remarks, we will open the call for your questions. Before we begin, we would like to remind you that some of the statements that we make today on this call may be considered forward-looking, and such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these statements. For more information, please refer to the risk factors detailed in our most recently filed Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Qs. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements made today as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Unless otherwise stated, our financial measures discussed on this call will be on a non-GAAP basis.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the press release or in the presentation posted this morning to the Investor Relations section of our website at yeti.com. I would now like to turn the call over to Matt.

Thanks, Arvind, and good morning. Before we discuss our second quarter results, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the devastating floods that recently hit our home state of Texas. Our hearts continue to go out to our Central Texas community, the families and friends impacted by this tragedy. I specifically want to acknowledge and thank the first responders, volunteers and our long-standing partners at Operation BBQ Relief, who deployed to provide meals to impacted communities all over the country during natural disasters. Give them a follow. Their simple act of a hot meal is incredibly impactful. We're also deeply grateful for the overwhelming support and generosity of the YETI community across all 50 states who stepped up to purchase the special edition Texas Strong Tumbler, all sales generated from these 10,000 ramblers went to support the long road to recovery in Kerr County, Texas. Turning now to YETI. I'm excited to share that we are making excellent progress on our long-term strategic priorities, driving innovation, expanding our global presence and broadening our customer base, plus more near term, transforming our supply chain. These efforts are delivering results in several ways. We're seeing increased momentum in product innovation with notable strength in bags and packs. Our international expansion is thriving with outstanding performance in the U.K. and Europe and strong demand from our end consumers in Canada and Australia. Our brand continues to grow, resonating with audiences, both at home and around the world. At the same time, we're executing a major transformation in our supply chain that is setting us up extremely well for 2026 and beyond. While top line demand in Q2 came in slightly below expectations, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and cautious behavior from consumers and our retail partners. We believe the actions we're taking position us extremely well for long-term sustainable growth in both revenue and earnings. I'd like to take a few minutes to outline how we plan to deliver on our growth ambitions, beginning with product innovation. First, we are on track to open our Asia-based innovation center in Thailand later this month. I had the opportunity to visit and meet with our local team in July, and I came away energized by their talent, passion and capabilities. This facility will complement our Austin Innovation Center, significantly increasing our speed and capacity for product development and further enhancing our innovation capabilities. Importantly, it marks a critical step towards establishing a 24/7 global innovation cycle, continuous product generation, faster time to market and greater agility in responding to market opportunities. Second, our teams continue to execute exceptionally well against a robust innovation pipeline. As a result of the up-tempo pace of innovation you have seen, we're now on track to exceed our prior target of launching 30 new products in the fiscal year, even while making strategic trade-offs to advance supply chain diversification. A large portion of these new launches are limited to initial releases, setting a stage for the full force of our innovation to power our growth in the quarters ahead. In Drinkware, while the market remained highly promotional and as we have discussed, continues to shift away from the recent trend-driven growth, we remain focused on broadening our portfolio in sustainable innovation while maintaining our discipline on high-quality, profitable growth. We are seeing this play out in response to our first food bowls, insulated food jars, updated rambler jug and travel bottle. We expect similar momentum later this year as we expand into our new half-gallon and 40-ounce sports jugs. Meanwhile, straw bottles and stackable cups continue to perform well for us. Our underlying innovation in Drinkware is performing well and as we have seen the market cleanup, we are expecting to return to growth later this year, driven by our innovation and stabilization in the overall Drinkware category. Supporting our continued reach and relevance in health, wellness, sports and lifestyle, we recently acquired designs, tooling and intellectual property to enable us to bring a patented, category-leading shaker bottle into the YETI family. This innovation fits seamlessly with our commitment to delivering premium high-performance products. Moreover, our accelerating innovation and launch of exciting new products under the YETI brand showcases how we leverage open innovation in combination with our powerful internal product development machine. In Coolers & Equipment, our new smaller format, but high-performance and appropriately named Daytrip soft coolers positions us well in the $50 to $150 price band and complements our $200 to $350 high-performance soft coolers. The data has demonstrated impressive early traction even with limited inventory in the second quarter. Higher-priced soft coolers were more challenged in the quarter as we saw some evidence of consumer trade down. While we expect the higher end products to be staples of our portfolio long term, we are pleased with our strategy to capture a consumer up and down the price and performance ladder. We also extended our highly regarded chairs with our first beach chair, launched just in time for the peak summer. In addition, our Roadie 15 and wheeled Roadie 32 hard coolers, which launched a strong reception more than a year ago, have continued to see great performance. In bags and packs, our momentum is unmistakable. Our rugged all-weather Cayo backpack debuted in late Q2 to rave early reviews and exceeded our initial expectations. Meanwhile, the Ranchero backpack introduced in Q1 continues its ascent, recently clenching the title of Best Outdoor daily pack by Men's Health. These wins not only underscore our relentless commitment to innovation but also cement our leadership in delivering performance-driven, highly sought after gear supported by a broad brand umbrella. Equally exciting is the performance of our long-standing Camino totes and Crossroad backpacks. Camino has experienced a notable spike recently, is mostly sold out domestically across all channels, including yeti.com and wholesale. For context, Camino launched in 2018 and has garnered over 5,000 4.8 star reviews. It's a great product, full stop. And as many of you have heard me say over the years, it might be YETI's most versatile product and has been my personal favorite since launch. The broadening consumer interest highlights the product's incredible design and styling backed by practical versatility and durability. With a large market opportunity in bags and Camino innovations on the horizon, we're well positioned to build on this momentum and deliver meaningful growth over the long term. This wave of enthusiasm for Camino is creating a halo effect, fueling elevated interest across our bags and packs lineup including our everyday travel and drive bags and amplifying our brand momentum. What we are seeing with Camino underscores the enduring popularity and the lasting appeal and reliability of our innovation in the market. Speaking to the timeless nature of our brand and design, our product remains bestsellers years after launch, reflecting not only the desirability, but also the functionality. Overall, we expect our Coolers & Equipment business to perform well in the back half as our bags category continues to build and inventory availability for our innovation improves. I'm very encouraged by how our product engine is gaining momentum and how well we're positioned to build on this strength in the second half of the year and into 2026. We continue to drive incremental investment towards product and R&D and are seeing the benefits of this investment. The second key growth pillar for us is international expansion. I'm pleased with how the YETI brand continues to resonate strongly outside the U.S., supported by a growing diversified product portfolio and disciplined execution of our go-to-market strategies. Europe once again delivered very strong growth in the quarter. This reflects both rising brand awareness and the effectiveness of driving engagement with our localized approach. We believe our model is scalable and will support sustained growth across the European market. In Japan, late in the quarter, distribution rapidly expanded from 17 to over 270 doors, and we're targeting more than 400 doors by year-end. We've also established a digital presence and initiated localized marketing to build awareness and engagement. In early July, we hosted our second successful trade show in Tokyo, drawing nearly 400 buyers, media and influencers, highlighted by strong enthusiasm and pent-up demand. As we move into the second half of the year, we're focused on executing our go-to-market, supported by strong alignment between the YETI brand and Japanese consumers' appreciation for premium, well-crafted product. Against a large outdoor market and early investments in community engagement and partnerships, we're optimistic about Japan and the rest of Asia's long-term potential as a meaningful contributor to our international growth. In Canada, we're seeing sustained end consumer demand even as the wholesale sell-in environment is cautious. Localized marketing and strong performance from new innovation and color infusions have driven brand interest and momentum. Sell-through in Australia remains strong in our tracked channels supporting our positive international outlook. While certain retail partners slowed their purchasing during Q2 against expanding consumer demand, we're encouraged by the rebound we have seen quarter-to-date in Q3. Our third key growth pillar is broadening our global customer base. We are relentlessly elevating brand awareness, deepening engagement and forging long-term loyalty for the brand. This commitment drives us to connect with more people, more meaningfully across the globe. To that end, I'm excited to announce today that we're launching a strategic partnership with Fanatics later this month. This collaboration significantly expands our presence in sports. Additionally, we are bringing team color Drinkware and hard coolers to fans across all 32 NFL teams, many MLB, NHL and over 50 NCAA programs. Our products will be available on yeti.com, YETI stores, certain wholesale partners, fanatics.com, league and team sites and at live events, further strengthening our connection with passionate fan bases and driving long-term growth in this vertical. As we continue to deepen engagement with our global communities, our recent events and partnerships exemplify YETI's commitment to authentic connection and brand growth worldwide. During the second quarter, YETI had a presence at over 70 events globally, connecting with diverse enthusiast communities across sports, culinary, entertainment and beyond. In May, we hosted our inaugural Wild Private Dining Room experience at The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, California, to celebrate the launch of our Outdoor Kitchen Collection. This immersive event featured a 5-course live-fire meal prepared by YETI Global Chef ambassadors and served in YETI cookware and tableware, attended by media, creators and ambassadors, the event brought our culinary story to life. At the 2025 Calgary Stampede in early July, our long-standing partnership included direct sponsorship, consumer activation and meaningful engagement with media, ambassador and partners. Attendance was nearly 1.5 million and our on-site mobile customization machine drove strong sales performance. Importantly, we had YETI ambassadors competing with our own Shad Mayfield delivering a winning run. This was a standout example of multifaceted engagement delivering both brand impact and commercial results. Our team in Australia proudly supported our ambassador in surfing legend, Mick Fanning's Charity Golf Day, which raised over $700,000 for flood affected communities in Northern New South Wales. The event reached an audience of over 11 million, amplifying the impact of this incredible organization. Last month, YETI had a large presence of the Game Fair in the U.K., an annual celebration of British Countryside culture and a touchstone for YETI's U.K. community engagement. The event had nearly 130,000 attendees and marked our highest grossing 3-day selling event globally. It was awesome. Our media strategy continues to amplify brand visibility and product storytelling through regional content like YETI presents, partner films, shorts and our new field test series. We're reaching audiences across platforms while showcasing the durability, performance and design of our products. This year marks the tenth anniversary of YETI Presents with 85 films released to date, generating over 33 million views and 2.6 million hours of watch time. Our field test series pushes YETI Gear to the extreme. In the first episode shown across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, our new all-weather Cayo backpack was subjected to harsh real-world conditions, mud, water impact and more, highlighting its rugged water-resistant design and reinforcing our commitment to performance-driven innovation. Meanwhile, recognizing the breakout momentum behind the Camino, our team acted swiftly to seize the opportunity, amplifying the surge in consumer demand with a targeted campaign by intensifying our social efforts and collaborating with key creators, we supported the product's position. Strategic digital activations and timely engagement with our community ensure that excitement translated into real business impact, solidifying the Camino's breakout status and laying the groundwork for sustained growth. Looking ahead, the momentum we're seeing across global communities underscores the significant opportunity to further penetrate new and existing markets. To that end, we're making incremental investments behind both brand and social campaigns to increase reach, frequency and engagement as we expand our customer base and strengthen brand equity worldwide. Turning to our omnichannel performance. As we expand our product portfolio, we continue to meet consumers where and how they prefer to shop. In wholesale, we saw some cautious ordering and tighter inventory management from partners. Despite this, demand remains strong for innovation and inventory levels remain healthy across the portfolio. We continue to monitor these dynamics closely while exploring new opportunities to expand our reach to underserved consumer segments. In our direct-to-consumer channels, performance on the Amazon marketplace remained robust as we capitalized on the diversity of our omnichannel approach to meet evolving shopping behaviors. Corporate sales also delivered outstanding results, propelled by our deepening strategic partnerships, especially in the sports and hospitality sectors as we continue to leverage our advanced customization capabilities. On yeti.com, site traffic was up, and we saw strong engagement with new product launches and a continuation of trends around increased customer value. However, conversion rates were below expectations amid less intentional shopping behavior. We're applying key learnings from our May drop days campaign to enhance account creation, engagement and conversion including early access designed to grow our customer base and build brand affinity. In retail, we opened our 27th store in early June and plan to open our 28th store next week, which will be our last store opening for the year. While we remain very excited about the long-term retail potential for us. As I've previously shared, we are intentionally slowing the pace of new store openings in the near term. Our focus is on optimizing the performance of our existing fleet as we continue to see the positive impact in lift in our wholesale and direct channels in locations where a YETI retail store anchors the market. I fully expect future pace store expansion to be part of YETI's complementary go-to-market. Next, I want to switch gears and talk about one of our highest near-term priorities, which is the transformation of our global supply chain. This year, I've had the opportunity to visit all of our key suppliers across Southeast Asia it's either factories and witnessed firsthand the incredible progress being made. I was fired up by the momentum on the ground and a clear commitment from our partners to support this critical transition. I'm pleased to report that we remain firmly on track with our accelerated diversification strategy. We continue to expect that by year-end, on a go-forward basis, less than 5% of our total cost of goods sold will be exposed to U.S. tariffs on goods sourced from China. Importantly, we will have our multi-country sourcing strategy fully in place. This is a testament to outstanding vision and execution by our product and supply chain teams. They are some of the best in the business, and I could not be more proud of the impact they are having on YETI. This positions us exceptionally well to enter 2026 with a more resilient, agile and diversified supply base. One that enhances our ability to scale globally while mitigating geopolitical and operational risk. Amid a dynamic environment, our fortress balance sheet and healthy free cash flow continue to support investments in growth and innovation, while also advancing our capital allocation priorities, including share repurchases. Mike will provide a further update on capital allocation in his prepared remarks. As it relates to our full year 2025 outlook, we are modestly adjusting our top line expectations to reflect a slightly more prolonged recovery in the Drinkware market in the U.S. At the same time, we're raising our EPS outlook, thanks to our operating discipline and tariff relief on the China sourced goods, partially offset by new tariffs elsewhere. Given the unprecedented tariff uncertainty and shifting macroeconomic landscape since we announced a targeted late 2025 Investor Day, we've made the strategic decision to move our Investor Day to the first half of next year. This timing importantly, will allow us to showcase the full impact of innovation acceleration in our broadening product pipeline, the capabilities of our diversified and resilient supply chain and provide a clear view of our long-term growth and margin expansion initiatives. Looking ahead, with breakthrough innovation, surging brand momentum and a world of global opportunity in front of us, we have a great setup, redefining what's possible for YETI. Summarizing my thoughts a bit here. I recognize that ups and downs can be part of any great brand and growth story, and some innings are tougher than others, but all great franchises string together wins season after season. While I like our track record, the opportunity in front of our team is even greater. I remain highly confident in our strategy, direction of travel and that this team will deliver on YETI's potential. To emphasize the point, the strength of our brand is a key differentiator, resonating deeply with a growing base of loyal customers around the world. We're in the early phase of realizing the impact of product expansion and a significant global opportunity providing substantial runway for growth. We have built a tested, proven and resilient business model. I want to thank our YETI team for their passion and unwavering commitment to our brand and long-term vision. We're well positioned to continue to break norms and reset expectations of what a product should be and what a brand can be. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Mike.

Thanks, Matt, and good morning, everyone. Let me start by reviewing our performance for the second quarter of 2025, after which I'll discuss our revised full year outlook before opening the floor for questions. As a reminder, all results presented on today's call will be on a non-GAAP basis to better focus on the operating performance of the business during the quarter. In the second quarter, sales decreased 4% to $445.9 million, which was slightly below our expectations. As Matt mentioned, this was due to more cautious spending from both consumers and our retail partners. At the product category level, Drinkware sales declined 4% to $236.4 million. The U.S. Drinkware market remained challenging, reflecting a more promotional environment compounded by temporary inventory constraints stemming from our ongoing supply chain transition, but we continue to be pleased with how our new products are performing. Coolers & Equipment sales decreased 3% to $200.6 million in the second quarter. We saw continued growth in hard coolers, offset by a decline in soft coolers. Our bags business gained further traction as we expanded our product lineup and capitalize on the significant opportunities within the bags and packs market. As Matt mentioned, we expect our business in the Coolers & Equipment category to improve meaningfully in the back half of the year, driven by our innovation and improved inventory availability. Turning to our performance by channel. Direct-to-consumer sales decreased 1% to $248.6 million, accounting for approximately 56% of total sales during the second quarter. Our Amazon marketplace remains strong, both in the U.S. and internationally as we leverage our omnichannel model and supported it with a strategic allocation of marketing dollars. Corporate sales also remained robust in the U.S. with momentum building internationally following the recent global rollout of customization and as we add strategic partnerships around the world. Strong performance in these direct-to-consumer channels was offset by softer U.S. e-commerce demand. We saw lower-than-expected conversion on yeti.com, which offset both higher average order value and higher traffic year-over-year. In the wholesale channel, sales were $197.3 million, decreasing 7% compared to the prior year quarter with declines in both the U.S. and in our international regions. The year-over-year decline within our wholesale channels outside the U.S. was driven by ordering patterns by some of our retail partners, which I will discuss in more detail during my comments on our international business. In our U.S. wholesale channel, the primary driver of the year-over-year decline was Drinkware, reflective of the highly promotional overall market and an increased level of caution from consumers and our retail partners. We believe this is a transitory issue indicative of macroeconomic headwinds. Our strategy to broaden our wholesale channel and drive engagement with a wide range of consumers across markets, pursuits and demographics remains unchanged. Finally, sell-through growth outpaced sell-in growth in the U.S. in Q2, and our overall channel inventory levels remain healthy, giving us confidence in our back half expectations. Moving to our international business. Sales outside the U.S. grew 2% to $78.1 million, representing approximately 18% of total sales in the second quarter of this year. Europe continues to lead our international performance with another quarter of strong growth year-over-year. Our efforts to build brand awareness, expand distribution and scale our omnichannel model in Europe are gaining traction. Also, as Matt mentioned, our expansion in Japan during the second quarter marks an exciting step in the Asia Pacific region, and we are very optimistic about the growth opportunity we see in this market. Within our international markets, direct-to-consumer sales remained strong. However, our international wholesale channels, primarily in Australia and Canada were more challenged from a sell-in perspective. We believe this is a one-quarter dynamic that was driven by inventory balancing and overall caution by our wholesale partners in these two regions. Sell-through in both Australia and Canada continues to be very strong, which gives us the confidence to hold our international sales outlook for the year. We will continue to extend YETI's presence and reach as we expand with both new and existing retailers outside the U.S. Now moving down the P&L. Adjusted gross profit decreased 4% to $257.6 million or 57.8% of adjusted sales compared to 57.7% of adjusted sales in the second quarter of last year. This 10 basis point increase was driven by product cost optimization and selective price increases, offset by approximately 180 basis points of impact from higher tariffs. That said, relative to our most recent guidance, tariff costs came in lower than expected primarily due to the reduction in tariff rates for products sourced from China from 145% to 30% that was announced on May 12. Adjusted SG&A expenses in the second quarter were $184.4 million, a decline of $3.1 million or 2% versus the prior year period. As a percent of adjusted sales, adjusted SG&A expenses were 41.3% versus 40.5% in the prior year period. We continue to manage our operating expenses tightly while also making strategic investments to drive future growth. On an adjusted basis, operating income decreased 9% to $73.2 million or 16.4% of sales and net income decreased 7% to $55.2 million. Adjusted net income per share decreased 6% to $0.66 versus $0.70 in the prior year period. Our EPS this quarter includes a $0.07 net impact from higher tariff costs. Turning to our balance sheet. We ended the second quarter with $269.7 million in cash as compared to $212.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. During the second quarter, we repurchased 745,000 shares of YETI's common stock on the open market for $23 million under our current $450 million share repurchase authorization. This is part of an overall plan to repurchase approximately $200 million worth of shares during fiscal 2025. In addition, we continue to deploy capital strategically to strengthen our innovation capabilities. This includes both investing internally and acquiring technology and design expertise. We believe that acquisitions such as the one we are announcing today along with what you all have seen us do with acquisitions in the bags, cookware and power cooler categories are great examples of targeted investments that will enable us to build long-term value. Total debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized deferred financing fees was $75.9 million compared to $80.2 million at the end of last year's second quarter. From a total liquidity standpoint, we ended Q2 in a substantial net cash position and with our $300 million revolving credit facility fully available. Inventory decreased 10% year-over-year to $342.1 million, reflecting strategic management of our inventory purchases during the quarter. Turning to our updated fiscal 2025 outlook. We now expect full year sales to be flat to up 2% as compared to fiscal 2024 adjusted net sales. Consistent with last quarter, we expect inventory supply disruption in connection with our supply chain diversification efforts to have an approximately 300 basis point impact on our growth this year. The primary driver of the change in our top line outlook is the performance of our Drinkware business in the U.S. We now anticipate our total Drinkware business to be in a range of flat to down low single digits in fiscal 2025 versus the prior year. From a channel perspective, we still expect our wholesale and DTC channels to grow in line with each other this year. And geographically, we are holding our outlook for our international business to grow between 15% and 20% in fiscal 2025. As I stated earlier, the growth dynamics that we saw in Q2 were largely due to timing within our international wholesale channel. We expect the strong consumer demand trends that we saw outside the U.S. in Q2 to continue and to drive overall growth in the back half of the year. Within the U.S., we expect our business to be down low single digits this year due primarily to the dynamics we have discussed in the Drinkware category. As it relates to phasing for the remainder of the year, for Q3, we anticipate that total sales will be in a range of flat to slightly positive versus last year with a decrease in Drinkware balanced by growth in Coolers & Equipment. We are encouraged by the momentum we saw exiting Q2 and what we have seen quarter-to-date in Q3. Geographically, we expect U.S. sales in Q3 to decline relatively in line with what we saw in Q2. Looking ahead to Q4, we expect a slight step up in total growth with growth across both our Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment categories. When we look at the pipeline of new products that we have slated for release later this year, it gives us the confidence that Drinkware can return to growth in Q4. We are now projecting gross margins for the year to be between 56.5% and 57%, which is an increase of 200 to 250 basis points as compared to our prior fiscal 2025 guidance. This improvement is due to changes in tariff rates since our last update as well as our ability to drive cost efficiencies while undergoing a significant transformation of our supply chain. Trade policy discussions are ongoing, and the ultimate outcome regarding tariff rates remains unknown. In our guidance, we are currently assuming that the latest tariff rates, as announced, remain through the end of the year, including a total 30% rate on goods from China and an approximately 20% rate on goods from other regions. Collectively, the net tariff costs included in this outlook is approximately $40 million or 220 basis points as a percent of adjusted sales. From a phasing perspective, we continue to expect the year-over-year impact of tariffs to grow progressively throughout the year. We now expect operating expense growth of between 2% and 4% versus the prior year. This reflects the impact of ongoing investment in our growth initiatives, partially offset by continued cost optimization. We now expect operating income for the full year to be between 14% and 14.5% of adjusted sales, including a net impact of approximately 220 basis points from higher tariff costs versus the prior year. We expect a year-over-year decline in operating income percent to be relatively consistent in Q3 and Q4. Below the operating line, we expect an effective tax rate of approximately 25.5%, slightly better than our prior guidance. We now expect full year 2025 diluted shares outstanding of approximately 82 million, which reflects the impact of $200 million of stock repurchases anticipated through this fiscal year-end. We now expect adjusted earnings per diluted share of between $2.34 and $2.48 as compared to $1.96 to $2.02 in our prior outlook. The increase in our EPS outlook reflects the lower tariff rate on China-sourced goods, partially offset by increased tariffs on imports from other regions since our last update. And our updated guidance includes close to a $0.40 net unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs versus the prior year. Our capital expenditures for the year are now projected to be approximately $50 million, down from an earlier estimate of $60 million. This reduction mainly reflects a shift in accounting treatment for capital investments in our Memphis distribution center, which will now be recorded under cash flows from financing activities rather than investing activities. It's important to note that this year's capital spending remains focused on advancing our technology, launching innovative products and strengthening our supply chain. We now expect free cash flow of between $150 million and $200 million in 2025 versus our prior outlook of approximately $100 million to $125 million. As it relates to year-end inventory, we continue to expect a decline year-over-year. As we move through the second half, we will maintain flexibility to increase our inventory based on our assessment of the market conditions. In closing, as we navigate the current landscape of tariff volatility and heightened consumer caution, our determination to deliver on our strategic priorities remains unwavering. Each of our decisions is rooted in a relentless drive to invest in transformative growth initiatives and bolster our supply chain resilience, all while maintaining control over costs and effective capital deployment. With this disciplined approach, we are confident in our ability to achieve long-term sustainable growth and to unlock value for our shareholders. Now I will turn the call over to the operator to take your questions.

Your first question comes from Phillip Blee with William Blair.

Can you just talk about your expectations between volume and price in the second half of the year after some of these price increases that you rolled through in April? And just maybe speak to your confidence in the implied acceleration or level of conservatism potentially embedded in versus the alternative of a more significant cut to your top line guide and giving yourself kind of plenty of wiggle room here?

Thank you for the question, Phillip. From a price and volume perspective, the pricing actions we took in early April were relatively minor, affecting only a small portion of our product portfolio and not leading to a significant increase in average prices. The impact on our gross margins in Q2 was around 70 basis points. When considering this over three quarters of the year, it’s not a major change. Thus, I would emphasize that it’s more about volume than price. In terms of our expectations for the year, despite Q2 showing only 2% growth internationally, we maintained our outlook. We see opportunities in Europe, with continued strong growth in international direct-to-consumer sales and robust overall consumer demand, including wholesale sell-through. The Q2 results were more about order timing and cautious behavior from some wholesale partners in Australia and Canada. Overall, we are optimistic about our international business, which is why we kept our guidance. For our C&E segment, we believe there are strong opportunities in hard coolers and that the momentum in our bags business, alongside innovations like those with Camino, will help us return to growth in C&E in the second half. Regarding Drinkware, although the U.S. market is recovering more slowly than anticipated, we have innovation planned, as well as recently launched products. We anticipate that in Q4, we will start to address some issues in the U.S. Drinkware market, particularly given that part of our portfolio faced challenges last Q4. We believe this will enable us to return to growth in Drinkware in Q4. Overall, this combination of factors gives us the confidence behind our outlook this morning.

Okay. Great. That's super helpful. And then just on the Camino totes. I mean, obviously, it's gone a bit viral on social media and has been sold out. Can you talk about your ability to chase into inventory here to capture some of this demand? And then maybe give some color on the current size of your bags revenue within C&E category and then how this kind of recent influx of traffic and demand is informing your plans for further innovation in the category?

Thank you for the question. We are very enthusiastic about our bags business and its potential. The Camino, which we introduced in 2018, has become a standout in our portfolio, and the recent surge in interest highlights its importance. We are very optimistic about the ongoing growth of our bags portfolio and the opportunity to expand its presence in a large global market. We will continue to focus on bags, investing in team talent and capabilities. You can expect to see this reflected in our product portfolio expansion. Regarding Camino in the near term, we have a talented supply chain and operations team, along with great partners, working to capitalize on the opportunity in 2025. Our goal is to drive sustainable long-term growth, making bags a significant part of both our C&E category and YETI overall. We will keep growing the Camino as it is, and as I mentioned earlier, we will continue to innovate around Camino as part of our broader bag strategy, which will cater to everyday travel needs and be waterproof. We are truly excited about the developments in our bags segment.

The next question comes from Brooke Roach with Goldman Sachs.

Matt, given the success of some of the recent innovation launches, I'd love to get your perspective on the opportunity for these items to scale to the same degree that they could potentially offset lower productivity levels in some of your core? And then for Mike, a follow-up question on the U.S. Drinkware business. Can you provide any color on the level of pressure that the supply chain transition is having on this year's ability to scale new innovation and the magnitude of that potential opportunity as you move into 2026? Maybe said another way, when do you expect the U.S. Drinkware business to inflect back to sustainable growth?

Thanks, Brooke. Great question. I believe that the innovation we are launching today is stronger than ever for YETI and comes in a much broader range and significance, which we see as a tremendous opportunity for the business. This year has been particularly interesting, as our pace of innovation has reached its highest level. However, as Michael mentioned regarding inventory constraints and supply chain changes, these factors have somewhat impacted our efforts. Our expectation for innovation is twofold: it should lead to a more diverse product portfolio and drive growth. This is the goal we set for all our innovative efforts. Looking at our established legacy products, we're currently observing the positive impact of our innovation in the Drinkware segment. While we haven't yet seen the full effect of the market correction on Drinkware, we feel assured about our direction based on today's insights. Furthermore, considering the advancements in Drinkware and the growth opportunities presented by our innovations, combined with the exciting range of new products we are introducing in our soft coolers—like the Daytrip line—and including our expanded hard coolers, as well as the significant potential in our bags and packs, we maintain strong confidence in the YETI brand, which we continue to invest in and that shows impressive resilience.

Brooke, in response to your second question, we indicated today that the 300 basis points impact on our top line due to supply, which we discussed last quarter, is still reflected in our guidance for the year and continues to affect our operations. This is influencing some of our existing products as well as delaying the launch of new ones. We anticipate limited supply for several new Drinkware products, with most of the 300 basis points impact occurring in this category. Additionally, we will be launching some products outside the U.S. for the first time, which is a new venture for us. As Matt pointed out, we expect to see changes in the U.S. Drinkware market dynamics in the fourth quarter. Given the major transformation of our supply chain this year, we foresee some relief by 2026. While we cannot specify precisely when we expect to return to growth in 2026, we are optimistic that as we overcome supply chain constraints and build on our innovations, we will regain momentum in U.S. Drinkware.

The next question comes from Randal Konik with Jefferies.

I noticed in the commentary that both geographically and in terms of products, there is a trend where sell-through is exceeding sell-in. Can you provide more detailed information on how much sell-through has surpassed sell-in? As inventories stabilize in the market, we would expect to see reorders increase. Additionally, as we look towards next year and beyond, you have managed to maintain strong profitability and margins, despite various factors like tariffs affecting the figures. How should we approach the long-term outlook for gross margins qualitatively, considering these changing factors? Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Randy, for your question. I'll address the first question regarding sell-through versus sell-in, and I'll distinguish between the U.S. and International markets. In the U.S., we typically don't provide many specifics or exact figures on sell-through, but we do discuss trends. In Q2, we noted that sell-through outpaced sell-in, even though sell-in decreased. This highlights the health of our inventory levels, which we are effectively managing at the wholesale level, putting us in a strong position for the second half of the year and beyond. Internationally, the key takeaway is that overall consumer demand remains robust outside the U.S. The 2% growth we experienced internationally and the decline in wholesale sales were influenced by order timing and caution in two markets: Canada and Australia. However, based on the data and our tracking of consumer demand in those countries, we maintain confidence in the growth opportunities there, which is why we are keeping our outlook for the International business unchanged. Regarding gross margins, there are many factors at play, particularly concerning tariffs. Our guidance for the year includes the most recent updates, with a 30% tariff rate for China and approximately 20% for other sourcing countries. While there remains some uncertainty, we see opportunities for gross margin improvement through product cost efficiencies and reducing costs within our supply chain. Historically, we have consistently demonstrated the ability to achieve this. Additionally, as Drinkware returns to growth, we expect this to benefit our margins, given that Drinkware has a higher gross margin compared to the rest of our products. We also see potential for improved efficiency in other areas of our cost of goods sold. Although tariffs are at what we believe is a more stable point, uncertainty still exists. Our focus will remain on what we can control: enhancing efficiencies in our supply chain costs, where we have shown solid performance over time.

Great. And just one last one for Matt. If you think about at the IPO in 2018, the way the company approached innovation and got products developed to market, let's say, in that year. Maybe give us some perspective of what you've changed from a corporate structure perspective, people perspective to change the way you're going about that innovation process and go-to-market process today versus at IPO to kind of dimensionalize how you're able to kind of push out 30 new products a year, get them to market quickly, et cetera. Maybe that would be super helpful to get some perspective of what's changed and what allows you to kind of get things out the door faster and more things at that?

Thanks, Randy, and I appreciate that question. Here's what I would say. The things that haven't changed is we have an absolute focus on bringing innovative products that represent durability, performance and design, full stop, no change there. Almost everything else has rapidly evolved or changed materially. We went from one team working on everything to three focus teams that are focused around Drinkware, the bags and soft cooler opportunity and then many of our other hard goods, coolers and otherwise. So focus teams, focused resources. We announced today the Thailand Innovation Center. We've always had incredible global teams, but now we're solidifying that investment to create, as I said in my prepared remarks, almost a 24/7 kind of innovation cycle. The sophistication we built in our supply chain, our procurement team, our sourcing ability, which I think is evidenced by the supply chain diversification and transformation that we've been under. So we have incredibly talented leaders. We've got focused teams. We've got robust product pipelines and I think we've significantly enhanced our capabilities. And then we're very targeted using open innovation to go out and find things that we think are additive to the overall portfolio, including the Shaker bottle designs that we acquired and announced today. So philosophically, nothing's changed. Operationally, execution-wise, I think everything has. And it's made me and my now coming on 10 years at YETI more bullish about the next 10 years.

The next question comes from Peter Benedict with Baird.

So first, just on the EBIT margins, the 220 basis points, I guess, it's gross and EBIT impact this year. How do we think about the recovery of that divot as we look to '26, '27? Is there any reason why you wouldn't get most or all of that back? I know you talked about some cost efficiencies on top of the tariff stuff. So just conceptually, that's my first question. And my second question is around capital allocation. Why is $200 million of buyback this year the right number? How do you arrive at that level? And then what conditions could or might cause you to do more or less?

Thank you for your question, Peter. While we are not providing guidance beyond 2025 at this time, I can offer some general insights. Regarding tariffs, there is significant uncertainty about where those rates will ultimately settle. Our current assumptions are based on what has been announced. Last quarter, we believed we could recover much of the impact we discussed, with China at 145 and the rest of the world at 10. Now, with the current rates, if we remain at these levels, I don't think we can recapture to the same extent as we mentioned last quarter, since the disparity isn't as large as it was. We will have to monitor the situation with tariffs closely. I also want to emphasize that we have other offsets within our cost of goods sold, and we are committed to pursuing these offsets and implementing our cost mitigation strategies. We will continue to evaluate pricing. It’s too early to draw any conclusions, as many factors are in flux. However, we have demonstrated a strong ability to reduce costs within our supply chain. Concerning capital allocation, regarding the $200 million, we were pleased to raise our cash flow outlook to between $150 million and $200 million. Several factors influence where our cash will be allocated. We aim to maintain a robust balance sheet, which we have consistently achieved, while also balancing acquisition opportunities like the one we announced today. Taking all these factors into account led us to the $200 million figure, but we will keep assessing it and continue to explore ways to return capital to shareholders while reinvesting in the business.

The next question comes from Peter Keith with Piper Sandler.

This is Alexia Morgan on for Peter. My first question is about Drinkware. You had mentioned it getting more promotional. You gave some detail there for Q2. I was wondering if you could give some more color on what's driving that dynamic? Like is it more due to competitive promos? Or is it that demand needs stimulated by promos? And then does guidance assume that the promo environment continues in the second half?

Alexia, yes, I'll take that. The comment about the promotional environment is a broader comment about the market. And if you were to kind of go out and see what's happening at retail or you were to go online right now and look at some of the brands out there that there's a lot more activity around pricing. I think that is a few things. I think it's an indication of the consumer dynamic. I think it is an indication of what we've talked about for a number of quarters, which is as markets have rapid acceleration on the other side of that, that there's a cleanup. I think if you look at where the promotion is happening, I think some of its inventory activities by some brands out there. I think some of it's that trend off on certain form factors and sizes, which is what we're watching and seeing in a very concentrated way in the market, but it has an effect on the broader market. I think how that plays against our strategy, if you look at what we've done over the last couple of years is we have broadly diversified our Drinkware portfolio and our assortment. We are covering everything from individual use hydration to food bowl, food storage, food transportation. I think that is a much broader strategic play, and we think is why to some of the prior questions, we believe in the long-term opportunity of growth in the broadly defined Drinkware category.

Regarding the second part of the question about our guidance, what we indicated was that the adjustment in our guidance was primarily influenced by the current state of the U.S. Drinkware market. We anticipate that Q3 will resemble Q2, but we expect improvements to begin in Q4 due to the innovations we have planned and the upcoming market dynamics we've discussed. This expectation led to the overall adjustment in our guidance. Although we predict that Drinkware will be flat to slightly decreased this year, we believe we are positioned to return to growth starting in Q4.

And then just one more. The strong demand for bags in Q2 was very encouraging and then some of the soft coolers going viral in more recent weeks was also very exciting. We were wondering if there has been a focus recently on products or in this case, like new colorways geared more towards women? Or were those just new colorways that happened to go viral?

Great question, Alexia. What I would say is I think what you're seeing is great products getting in front of consumers. And I do think color matters in the range of color. But if you look what's happened in the market in the last few weeks, we have this incredible Wetlands Camo that's had really great market receptivity, and we have Caminos in a range of colors that continue to go in and out of stock. I think what that speaks to is the broad-based receptivity to our innovation but also our relevance across a diverse and important audience to us. So that's across a range of demographics, across a range of pursuits and use cases. And that's been the strategy for YETI going back to the very beginning, and I think we're seeing the success of it play out.

The next question comes from Joe Altobello with Raymond James.

I guess first on the momentum that you touched on a little bit coming out of Q2 and into Q3. Can you contextualize that for us? What sort of sales lift are you seeing here in July and August, and in particular, International? I mean, you mentioned that was sort of a one-quarter phenomenon. Are you seeing that international business back up into the double digits here in early Q3?

Joe, thanks for the question. So yes, I mean, so I think we're not getting too specific on what we're seeing. I mean, we're encouraged by what we're seeing so far this quarter. I'd say the same thing as we apply to it as we exited Q2. I think the best indication of what we're seeing and how we're encouraged we are by it is the fact that we held our outlook for International for the year to grow 15% to 20%. So when you look at growth in the second half versus what we did in the first half, yes, I mean, I would say that we're back up to those growth rates that we had seen. And as a reminder, I mean, we posted 7 quarters in a row of over 20% growth outside the U.S. And so we feel good about our International business in the second half and obviously, what we're seeing so far in Q3.

Got it. Helpful. And just to follow up on that. I wanted to ask about the other category. I know we hardly ever talk about it. It's a very small from a revenue standpoint, but it's been pretty weak of late. Is that an indication of how people are engaging with the brand because there's a lot of apparel in there, et cetera? So I'm just curious how we should look at that. Is that sort of a canary in the coal mine? Or it's just kind of a rounding error?

I don't think that's a reflection of how people are engaging with the brand. It represents a very small part of our business. Changes in merchandising and marketing strategies can affect that. Freight revenue is included as we encourage people to visit our website and create accounts to increase customer engagement. We've made some shipping changes that may impact other areas, but nothing significant has altered in that regard, so I wouldn't interpret it as an indication of customer engagement with the brand.

This concludes our Q&A session. I'll hand the call back to Matt Reintjes, Chief Executive Officer, for closing remarks.

Thanks all for joining today. We look forward to speaking on our 3Q call. Have a wonderful week.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
