Revolve sales up double-digits on growth across all channels
The Los Angeles-based company said Revolve segment sales were $254.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 11%, while sister brand Fwrd logged a 3% increase in sales to $42.3 million.
By region, domestic sales were $239.2 million, up 9%, outpaced by international sales, which surged 12% to $57.5 million, for the quarter ending March 31.
In line with the sales growth, the company said net income totalled $11.4 million, an increase from $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2024.
"Our strong execution within a dynamic macro environment resulted in outstanding first quarter results, highlighted by double-digit top-line growth, 57% growth in operating income year-over-year, and $45 million in operating cash flow that further strengthened our balance sheet," said co-founder and co-CEO, Mike Karanikolas.
"We achieved these strong results while continuing to invest in key initiatives that we believe will drive long-term success, which is especially important during this uncertain time when industry peers with weaker foundations are dialing back investment plans."
The company said that post-first quarter, sales in April increased by a mid-single digit percentage year-over-year, highlighted by comparably stronger net sales growth in international markets.
"I am very proud of our team's continued outstanding execution and flexibility that has driven our strong performance," said co-founder and co-CEO Michael Mente.
"It is the strength of our team, our solid financial foundation and our flexibility that we believe position us well to navigate through the current geopolitical and macro-uncertainty while continuing to invest in the exciting growth opportunities ahead. We have consistently outperformed through challenging periods in the past and are entering this current cycle on strong footing, giving us the confidence not just to manage through the near-term challenges, but also to gain further market share and drive long-term gains."

Air Canada to resume flights after govt directive ends strike
The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) "directed Air Canada to resume airline operations and for all Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flight attendants to resume their duties by 14:00 EDT on August 17, 2025," the airline said in a statement. While it plans to resume flights on Sunday evening, Canada's flag carrier warned it would take "several days before its operations return to normal." Some flights are still set to be cancelled over the next seven to 10 days, it added. Air Canada cabin crew walked off the job early Saturday over a wage dispute. Hours later, Canada's labor policy minister, Patty Hajdu, invoked a legal provision to halt the strike and force both sides into binding arbitration. "The directive, under section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, and the CIRB's order, ends the strike at Air Canada that resulted in the suspension of more than 700 flights," the Montreal-based carrier said. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which is representing the workers, sought wage increases as well as to address uncompensated ground work, including during the boarding process. It had previously said its members would remain on strike until the government formally issued an order that they return to work. It had urged passengers not to go to the airport if they had a ticket for Air Canada or its lower-cost subsidiary Air Canada Rouge. While it did not immediately issue a response to the back-to-work directive, the CUPE earlier slammed the Canadian government's intervention as "rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted." "This sets a terrible precedent," it said. The union also pointed out that the chairwoman of CIRB, Maryse Tremblay, previously worked as legal counsel for Air Canada. Tremblay's ruling on whether to end the strike was "an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest," the union posted on Facebook. On Thursday, Air Canada detailed the terms offered to cabin crew, indicating a senior flight attendant would on average make CAN$87,000 ($65,000) by 2027. CUPE has described Air Canada's offers as "below inflation (and) below market value." In a statement issued before the strike began, the Business Council of Canada warned an Air Canada work stoppage would exacerbate the economic pinch already being felt from US President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Well-heeled shoppers shrug off price hikes for Birkenstocks and Bugaboo strollers for now
Well -heeled shoppers around the US seem - so far at least - willing to soak up price hikes for aspirational products from trendy Birkenstock sandals to Bugaboo prams, despite the impact of trade tariffs and belt-tightening elsewhere. German sandal and clog brand Birkenstock has enjoyed strong consumer demand with little pushback from US retailers since hiking prices at the start of July, its chief executive said on Thursday. As brands raise prices and cut costs to mitigate the impact of higher US tariffs on their imported products, a key question is the extent to which consumers will be put off and buy less, or simply walk away from purchases. Comments from Birkenstock, Bugaboo, Coach, Ralph Lauren and other brands at the premium end of the market suggest that, so far, affluent consumers are shrugging off price hikes. "We saw no pushback or cancellations following the July 1st price increases implemented in response to tariffs," Birkenstock CEO Oliver Reichert told analysts on a call, adding demand for the brand has been "tremendously strong." Bank of America, the largest consumer facing US bank, said this week that middle- and upper-income earners spent more on their credit cards in July than the same month last year. In contrast, spending among the lowest income bracket remained flat, the bank found. Overall US consumer spending may stay strong, Bank of America said, as long as higher-income individuals keep spending. Lower-income earners account for only 15% of all US consumer spending, according to Bank of America. However, Procter & Gamble, maker of Tide detergent, reported signs of spending cutbacks among higher-income consumers, indicating that shoppers may be becoming more selective with their purchases. Bugaboo, a Netherlands-based maker of expensive baby gear, also raised prices on its strollers, high chairs and play pens by $50-$300 in May because of US tariffs. Retailers were open and accepting. "In general we did not see any pushback. They are like us. They understand it is a fluid situation," Chief Commercial Officer for North America, Jeanelle Teves, said. Bugaboo manufactures in China and sells strollers for more than $1,000 at Target, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and independent mom and pop stores. Coach handbags also remain in strong demand despite a gloomier economic outlook: the brand drew in more than 4.6 million new customers in North America this year, many of whom are Gen Z and millennials, Tapestry CEO Joanne Kuvoiserat said on Thursday. Coach, whose popular Tabby shoulder bags retail for $350, will maintain its operating profit margin despite the pressure of tariffs, Kuvoiserat said. Ralph Lauren, meanwhile, raised its annual revenue forecast as shoppers snapped up items like its $398 Polo Bear sweaters. But consumers' behaviour in the coming months remains hard to predict, CEO Patrice Louvet highlighted on a conference call with analysts. "The bigger unknown here today is the price sensitivity and how the consumer reacts to the broader pricing environment. So that's what we're watching very closely as we head into the second half."

Why Swatch is facing tough times
The Swatch brand is credited with having saved a Swiss watch industry that had been laid low by the so-called quartz revolution. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, these less expensive and more accurate watches from an ascendant Japan upended European mechanical watchmaking. Swatch's response? Tap into the '80s zeitgeist with colourful, low-priced designs—funky, artistic, eclectic and made for collectors along with a whole new demographic that saw them as fashion, not function. Swatch used its skyrocketing revenue to support its more staid, traditional brands while acquiring new ones. But fast forward to today, and the market's changed: phones and smartwatches have undercut low-cost watches, leaving luxury as the main engine for growth. And a new set of problems, from low sales in China to Donald Trump 's tariffs, have made matters even worse. The luxury spending slowdown in China has hurt all brands, but Swatch got hit more than most, given that 27% of its 2024 sales were attributable to the Asian nation. While the company said last month that sales data now show a possible turnaround, any recovery in China is expected to be slow. Meanwhile, Trump's radical imposition of a 39% tariff on imports from Switzerland puts high-end watch brands in a corner, since they can't raise prices much more in the current environment. Simultaneously, investors have been calling out Swatch, urging it to capitalise on the still-lucrative high-end segment. Steven Wood, founder and chief investment officer of New York-based GreenWood Investors, even mounted a campaign to win a seat on Swatch's board. He was defeated, but his intervention may underline the frustration among investors worried about the company's future. The Hayek family, which controls more than 40% of Swatch voting rights, has pushed back by saying it shouldn't just be making watches for the wealthy. To be sure, Swatch managed some mainstream success as recently as 2022, with the MoonSwatch. The quartz-driven timepiece leaned on the heritage and look of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, an iconic watch worn on Apollo moon missions. Swatch sold more than a million of them that year, but it's struggled to generate the same sort of buzz across the rest of the group.
