American Eagle Outfitters swings to Q1 loss on higher costs, sluggish demand

American Eagle Outfitters’ management team recently addressed the challenges faced in the first quarter (Q1) of the fiscal year. Despite encountering significant hurdles early on, the company managed to meet its sales targets as the quarter progressed. The company attributed its success to a combination of factors, including cooler spring weather and a slow start to the month of February.

The management team highlighted that the company experienced setbacks in merchandising across several key categories, which were further compounded by external factors. Jay Schottenstein, AEO’s board executive chairman and chief executive officer, acknowledged the difficulties faced during the quarter. He stated, “While we are disappointed with the results, we are taking actions to better position the company and drive stronger performance in the upcoming quarters. Our brands remain resilient, and the team is focused on executing with urgency to enhance both the topline and profit flow-through.”

Key metrics from American Eagle Outfitters’ Q1 revealed a total net revenue of $1.09 billion, representing a 5% decrease from the previous year. The company reported a total comparable sales decline of 3%, with the American Eagle and Aerie brands experiencing declines of 2% and 4% respectively. Gross profit for the quarter decreased to $322.42 million, with a gross margin of 29.6%. Merchandise margins were impacted by inventory write-downs, higher markdowns, and increased product costs, leading to a decrease of 960 basis points.

AEO reported selling, general, and administrative expenses of $338.79 million, a 2% increase from the previous year. The company also reported a net loss of $64.89 million for the quarter, compared to a net income of $67.75 million in the same period last year.

Looking ahead, AEO has maintained its position of withdrawing full-year guidance amidst ongoing market uncertainties. For the second quarter, the company anticipates a revenue decline of approximately 5% and a comparable sales decrease of about 3%. Projected operating income for the quarter is expected to be between $40 million and $45 million. Additionally, AEO revised its capital expenditures for 2025 to approximately $275 million from an earlier estimate of around $300 million.

In conclusion, American Eagle Outfitters faced challenges in the first quarter but remains focused on driving stronger performance in the upcoming quarters. The company’s resilience and strategic actions aim to position it for success in the changing retail landscape.
