Our positive outlook demonstrates the success of the multi-year growth strategies we are pursuing with our strategic partners, as well with our brands, the investments we have made to enhance profitability and drive efficiencies in our factories, and the actions we have taken to improve our balance sheet. Looking ahead, our near-term priorities include increasing sales and profitability with our global licenses and new brands, implementing further realignment plans to improve the efficiency and profitability of our factories, and developing new categories with our main customers. We believe this positive momentum will support our business in 2025, as we look to increase sales, expand margins, and enhance our position as a leader in the global intimates and activewear market.”

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2024 was 41.7% compared to 43.1% for the same period last year. The year-over-year reduction in the fourth quarter gross margin was due primarily to higher freight costs, lower tax rebates in our Egyptian operations and segment mix.

Gross margin for the 2024 full year increased by 100-basis points to a record 41.9%, compared to 40.9% in the prior-year period. The year-over-year gross margin increase was due primarily to higher volume production in the Company’s factories due to an increase in Private Label segment sales, and an increase in more profitable DTC sales, partially offset by higher freight costs.

EBIT in the full year 2024 was $169.2 million, compared to $144.9 million in 2023.

The year-over-year increase in annual EBIT was due to higher sales and improved gross margin.

Cash flow generated from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, was $64.3 million, compared to $82.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Cash flow generated from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, was $153.1 million in the full year 2024, compared to $181.9 million in the full year 2023. The year-over-year reduction in full-year operating cash flow was primarily attributable to changes in working capital, mainly inventory, to support expected sales growth and new product launches, compared to a deliberate decrease in inventory last year, which resulted from a slowdown in the acquisition of new inventory and the sale of inventory from previous seasons.
