Matt Reintjes, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Q4 was our strongest quarter of the year as the YETI brand continued to build momentum. We’re seeing solid demand, our teams are executing with discipline, and the strategy we’ve been building over the last few years is showing through in the numbers and outlook. Across categories and channels, the business is more balanced and resilient than it’s ever been. A big part of that strength comes from the work we’ve done on innovation, strengthening our brand globally, and expanding internationally. These long-term growth pillars are producing tangible results and give us tremendous confidence as we head into 2026. These are the reasons we expect to continue to drive strong top and bottom-line results while generating over $200 million in free cash flow. We are playing in a large global addressable market, which provides us with a significant runway for growth as we continue to bring new consumers to YETI.”
Mr. Reintjes continued, “What stands out in Q4 is how consumers responded to our innovation across both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment. Drinkware grew 6% delivering its best performance in over a year as we brought innovation to the market, and our global consumers discovered and embraced the breadth of our portfolio. At the same time, categories like soft coolers and bags continue to deliver standout performance, reinforcing the YETI portfolio strength and multi‑year opportunity we see ahead. International accelerated as we delivered our highest growth quarter of the year, a testament to how much upside remains outside the U.S. Behind the scenes, the supply chain work we did in 2025 sets us up extremely well for the long term. We’ve built a far more flexible, diversified global sourcing network. It gives us resilience, improves our speed to market, and positions us to scale. We’ve also strengthened our innovation and international capabilities, which are critical to sustaining long‑term growth. To that end, our team showcased excellent organic innovation while leveraging inorganic product development, launching the Yonder shaker bottle in Q4, built on the design and IP we acquired in Q3. Putting all of that together, YETI is stronger, more global, more innovative, and better positioned for the future than ever before.”

Sales by Channel
- Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel sales increased 7% to $394.3 million, compared to $368.6 million in the prior year quarter, due to growth across all DTC businesses, including our Amazon Marketplace, Corporate Sales, YETI retail stores, and YETI websites. Excluding the impact related to the recall reserves in the prior year period, DTC channel adjusted sales increased 5%.
- Wholesale channel sales increased 6% to $189.4 million, compared to $178.0 million in the same period last year, primarily due to growth in our international regions.

Excluding the impact related to the recall reserves in the prior year period, Wholesale channel adjusted sales increased 6%.
Sales by Category
- Drinkware sales increased 6% to $380.0 million, compared to $358.1 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to growth in our international regions. The overall drinkware growth was a notable improvement from the trends experienced during the first three quarters of 2025. In the US, drinkware sales continued to be unfavorably impacted by a promotional market environment, a cautious wholesale buying environment, and inventory constraints driven by our supply chain transition. Despite these factors, US drinkware sales were flat, supported by the continued expansion and innovation of our Drinkware product offerings.
- Coolers & Equipment sales increased 7% to $192.3 million, compared to $180.2 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by strong performance in soft coolers, bags, and cargo.

As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 90 basis points to 45.5% from 44.6% in the prior year period, reflecting higher marketing expenses, growth investments in technology and facilities, and higher employee compensation, partially offset by leverage in distribution and fulfillment expenses on higher sales.

Sales by Category
- Drinkware sales decreased 1% to $1,085.8 million, compared to $1,094.2 million in the prior year period.

The 70 basis points decrease in gross margin included a 230 basis point unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs, as well as a lower mix of our Drinkware category. These decreases were partially offset by lower product costs, selective price increases implemented in the second quarter of 2025, and the absence in the current year period of purchase accounting inventory step-up amortization.
Adjusted gross profit decreased to $1,072.3 million, or 57.4% of sales, compared to $1,076.9 million, or 58.6% of sales, in the prior year period. The 120 basis points decrease in gross margin included a 230 basis point unfavorable impact from higher tariff costs, as well as a lower mix of our Drinkware category. These decreases were partially offset by lower product costs and selective price increases implemented in the second quarter of 2025.
SG&A expenses increased 5% to $859.1 million, compared to $817.9 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 130 basis points to 46.0% from 44.7% in the prior year period.

Inventory decreased 6% to $290.6 million from $310.1 million at the end of Fiscal 2024, reflecting strategic management of our inventory and supply constraints related to our supply chain transformation.

2026 Outlook
Mr. Reintjes concluded, “Building on our fourth quarter momentum, as we look ahead to 2026, we expect full‑year sales growth between 6% and 8%, supported by balanced contributions from both Drinkware and Coolers & Equipment, continued international strength, and a robust innovation cycle. When we look at our long‑range plan and the progress we’re making across geographies and product categories we see an even broader runway and a clear path to high-single to low-double digit growth. We enter 2026 with a strong, diverse multi-year innovation pipeline, backed by a global product engine. Our innovation capabilities allow us to accelerate category expansion and bring new products to market faster than ever before. While tariff pressures will remain a headwind in 2026, the structural actions we have taken, across both supply chain diversification and ongoing cost optimization, give us confidence in our ability to enhance profitability while continuing to invest in growth. Our financial strength is a strategic advantage, enabling us to invest behind innovation, brand demand creation, international expansion, and technology, while maintaining strong free cash flow and delivering value to shareholders. With disciplined execution and a clear focus on our strategic priorities, we remain confident in our ability to deliver long‑term growth, enhance profitability, and unlock the full global potential of YETI.”
For Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025, YETI expects:
- Adjusted sales to increase between 6% to 8%;

- An effective tax rate of approximately 24%;
- Adjusted net income per diluted share between $2.77 and $2.83, reflecting a 12% to 14% increase;
- Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 76.6 million. This outlook reflects the impact of $100 million in expected share repurchases in Fiscal 2026;

- Free cash flow between $200 million and $225 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share (which we also refer to as adjusted EPS), free cash flow as well as adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as a percentage of adjusted net sales.
Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to measure our profitability and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business and are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below.
YETI does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including in particular the impacts of product recalls and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses reported within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions needed in order to provide a forward-looking GAAP financial measures at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions may be material and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP financial measures being materially different or less than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. See “Forward-looking statements” below.
