Perfect Moment Reports Preliminary Fiscal Q4 and Full Year Results

Yahoo17-06-2025
Company Marks Beginning of Transformation with Structural Changes for Scale
LONDON, June 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perfect Moment Ltd. (NYSE American: PMNT), the high-performance luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand, reported preliminary unaudited financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2025.
Despite broader market softness impacting luxury apparel, in the fourth fiscal quarter Perfect Moment is expected to deliver a 2.6% increase in revenue to $5.0 million. For the full year, revenue is expected to decline 12% to $21.4 million. However, excluding the Hugo Boss collaboration which ended in fiscal 2024, revenue rose an estimated 1% year-over-year.
Revenue was lower in part due to one of the company's largest wholesale customers, Matches Fashion, filing for bankruptcy. Alongside increased investment in leadership, infrastructure, and brand positioning, this adversely impacted operating results. As a result, the company expects to report a net loss of approximately $16.0 million for FY25.
"This past year has been one of consolidation and transformation," stated Perfect Moment chairman, Max Gottschalk. "We've taken decisive steps to meaningfully upgrade our management team, address inefficiencies and instill a culture of operational discipline. I'm extremely excited about the trajectory we are now on—and this is just the beginning."
Under the new senior leadership, including key hires from Canada Goose, LVMH, and Timberland, the company is executing a renewed strategy focused on profitability and building long-term brand equity. While still in the early stages, these efforts have already begun to bear fruit:
Record Wholesale Order Book: Perfect Moment has secured over $12.7 million in wholesale pre-orders for the Autumn/Winter 2025 season—a 30% increase from the prior year and the highest in company history (excluding collaborations).
Sales Force Expansion: Five new regional agencies were signed and 50 new accounts have been opened globally since September.
Margin Expansion and Operating Cost Savings: Major efficiency programs were implemented, including the launch of U.S. and European distribution hubs and improved logistics, resulting in reduced duties and costs.
Reduced Discounting: Improved full-price sell-through and reduced reliance on promotions, demonstrating increasing pricing power and strong consumer demand.
"Since I joined Perfect Moment in February, we've made rapid progress in laying the foundation for long-term, profitable growth," noted company CFO and COO, Chath Weerasinghe. "Our ability to increase orders, improve margins, and grow our global presence despite the macroeconomic headwinds is a testament to the strength of our brand and the capabilities of our new leadership team."
Perfect Moment also reported exceptional growth in digital engagement and brand visibility—further reinforcing the brand's positioning as a global luxury icon well ahead of its current revenue base:
934M+ Social Audience Reached: Content posted by celebrities, fashion models, and global influencers (KOLs) organically reached more than 934 million people in FY25, reinforcing Perfect Moment's status in the cultural zeitgeist.
16.6 Billion+ Monthly Unique Visitors (UVPM): Global digital media coverage drove more than 16.6 billion monthly unique visitors aggregated over a 12-month period, a 108% year-over-year increase and placing Perfect Moment on par with leading global lifestyle brands such as Apple and Nike.
Social Media Growth: Followers across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok exceeded 440,000, a 15% YoY increase, highlighting Perfect Moment's growing community of highly engaged customers and advocates.
Fiscal 2025 also included a successful high-profile collaboration with Diageo's Johnnie Walker Blue Label and the recently announced BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team which elevate the company's brand prestige across the performance and fashion spheres.
Looking ahead, the company plans to further expand beyond ski into year-round luxury outerwear and accessories, addressing a $30 billion+ global market that is growing at a 6.7% CAGR.
"Our strategy is clear: to expand from slope to après, blending technical performance with fashion-led design across seasons," said Jane Gottschalk, president and chief creative officer. "We have built a community, not just a customer base, and we are ready to take our brand to the next level."
Perfect Moment plans to issue its FY25 audited results before the end of the month.
About Perfect Moment LTD
Perfect Moment is a high-performance luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand that blends technical excellence with fashion-forward designs, creating pieces that effortlessly transition from the slopes to the city, the beach, and beyond.
The brand was born in 1984 in the mountains of Chamonix, France, as the vision of extreme sports filmmaker and professional skier, Thierry Donard. The brand has been built on a sense of adventure which it has sustained for more than 40 years. Fueled by his personal experiences, Donard was driven by a desire to create pieces that offered quality, style and performance, pushing the wearer in the pursuit of every athlete's dream: to experience 'The Perfect Moment.'
In 2012, British-Swiss entrepreneurial couple Jane and Max Gottschalk took ownership of the brand. Under Jane's creative direction, Perfect Moment was injected with a new style focus, one that reignited the spirit of the heritage brand, along with a commitment to improving fit, performance and the use of best-in-class functional materials. As such, the designs evolved into distinct statement pieces synonymous with the brand as we know it today.
Today, the brand is available globally, online and at major retailers, including MyTheresa, Net-a-Porter, Harrods, Selfridges, Saks, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.

Best's Market Segment Report: Reinsurers' Disciplined Capital Deployment and Underwriting Remain Key Foundations

OLDWICK, N.J., August 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A recalibration of the global reinsurance market since the January 2023 renewal period has led to a more-durable market structure characterized by reduced earnings volatility and stronger margins, supporting AM Best's continued positive outlook on the industry. The Best's Market Segment Report, "Reinsurers' Disciplined Capital Deployment and Underwriting Remain Key Foundations," starts off AM Best's look at the global reinsurance industry ahead of the Rendez-Vous de Septembre in Monte Carlo. Other reports, including AM Best's ranking of top global reinsurance groups and in-depth looks at the insurance-linked securities, Lloyd's, life/annuity, health and regional reinsurance markets, will be available during August and September. According to this report, the shift since the January 2023 renewal in how risk is priced, shared and retained across the reinsurance industry has carried forward and translated into a second-straight year of solid results in 2024. The European "Big Four" reinsurers posted a discounted combined ratio of 86.4% under IFRS 17; the discounting on average lowers the combined ratio by approximately eight percentage points. The U.S. and Bermuda composite reported an undiscounted combined ratio of 89.5% under U.S. GAAP. These results confirm that underwriting profitability has not only rebounded but is being sustained in the current reinsurance cycle. "Reinsurers' risk-adjusted capitalization levels remain robust, reflecting retained earnings and disciplined capital management, and the strong underwriting profitability is being augmented by a surge in investment income given elevated interest rates," said Michael Lagomarsino, senior director, AM Best. "The absence of material new global reinsurance entrants also is ensuring that structural market discipline is maintained, distinguishing the current environment from previous market cycles." According to the report, most global reinsurers have maintained their strong performance through the first half of 2025, despite global weather-related insured losses that will likely top USD 100 billion. These losses are primarily driven by the California wildfires, which many reinsurers are marking in the range of USD 30-50 billion. "Assuming no further material weather events in the second half of 2025, the combination of disciplined underwriting, rate adequacy and robust investment income should deliver full-year operating results exceeding the cost of capital," said Dan Hofmeister, associate director, AM Best. Global reinsurers also face headwinds other than climate change, including social inflation, growing geopolitical tensions and trade disputes, and these challenges underscore the importance of the market's improved structural foundations and explain why AM Best's outlook, though positive, remains closely scrutinized. "The question now facing the industry is whether the improvements in terms and conditions represent a durable shift," said Steven Chirico, director, AM Best. "The lessons of past cycles suggest caution, but reinsurer sentiment has ensured tighter exposure management and market disciple in the current cycle."

Lastly, AM Best will host its annual reinsurance market briefing at Rendez-Vous de Septembre on Sept. 7, 2025, at 10:15 a.m. (CEST) in Monte Carlo.
