Roots not seeing ‘pullback' in consumer spending as retailer reports $7.9M Q1 loss
TORONTO - Consumers grappling with a global tariff war have yet to drop Roots Corp. from their shopping trips, the apparel retailer's CEO said Friday, as the company reported a $7.9 million loss. 'We haven't seen any weakening and no pullback,' Meghan Roach told analysts who asked her whether consumer confidence has been lagging or if customers were trading down for more affordable products. Her observation was reflected in the retailer's first-quarter results, which showed sales at the Toronto-headquartered company rose 6.7 per cent to $40 million. Much of the boost came from the company's direct-to-consumer business, which includes its retail stores and e-commerce operations. Sales from that division totalled $34.6 million for the period ended May 3, up from $31.4 million a year earlier. The segment also saw comparable sales growth of 14.1 per cent. Roach attributed the increase to existing products resonating with customers who she said responded well to the company's latest releases, too. 'We were also seeing strong adoption of updated cuts, which offer a modern take on comfort while staying true to the brand's DNA,' she said. 'This momentum in our core collection and the success of our new programs gives us confidence as we continue to balance innovation with the consistency your customers expect from us.' Meanwhile, partner and other sales, which include wholesale Roots branded products, licensing to select partners and certain custom products, fell to $5.4 million, compared with $6.1 million in the same quarter last year. Overall, Roots reported a first-quarter loss of $7.9 million compared with a loss of $8.9 million a year earlier as its sales rose 6.7 per cent. The loss amounted to 20 cents per share for the quarter compared with a loss of 22 cents per share in the same quarter last year. The results fit Roots' usual cadence, Roach said. Typically, the company generates 30 per cent of its sales in the first half of the year, when it tends to generate a loss. The back half usually brings profit. This year Roots has been working to close 'underperforming' stores and reallocate resources to 'high potential' locations where the brand is resonating and there are opportunities for traffic growth. Customer feedback and in-store analytics have also pushed the company to give some stores a makeover that has introduced new layouts, digital tools and modern materials and finishes into flexible fixtures meant to help the brand transition between seasons. 'The goal is to create a more immersive, intuitive, and inspiring retail environment, one that aligns with our brand direction and deepens emotional connection with customers,' Roach said.

ISG to Study Multi Public Cloud Service, Solution Providers
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers of multi public cloud services and solutions that empower enterprises to optimize and accelerate multicloud and AI-native environments. Complex multicloud environments pose steep challenges for enterprises, especially in observability and security. To address real-time threats and maximize reliability, companies are engaging with providers for multi public cloud services and solutions. Share The study results will be published in two comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports: Multi Public Cloud Services and Multi Public Cloud Solutions, both scheduled to be released in December 2025. The Services report, covering multiple geographic markets, will evaluate providers of consulting and transformation services, FinOps and AI-powered optimization services, scalable infrastructure and platform services and other offerings. The global Solutions report will assess multicloud observability and security solutions and Kubernetes management platforms. Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm's buy-side clients. Enterprises are rapidly adopting cloud-native technologies and advanced tools across hybrid, multicloud and edge environments to enhance scalability, security and cost efficiency. This transformation is fueling agile application development, automated deployment and efficient resource management. Enterprises are also prioritizing the integration of agentic AI and generative AI into cloud environments to enhance productivity, streamline operations and foster innovation. 'Complex multicloud environments pose steep challenges for enterprises, especially when it comes to observability and security,' said Heiko Henkes, director and principal analyst at ISG. 'To address real-time threats and maximize reliability, companies are engaging with providers for a wide range of multi public cloud services and solutions.' For the Multi Public Cloud Services study, ISG has distributed surveys to more than 300 providers. Working in collaboration with ISG's global advisors, the research team will produce seven quadrants representing the typical multi public cloud services enterprises are buying, based on ISG's experience working with its clients. The seven quadrants are: Consulting and Transformation Services, evaluating providers that help clients plan and carry out strategies to achieve cloud agility, resilience and scalability. Providers are assessed on their ability to drive scalable, intelligent and sustainable cloud transformations through proprietary frameworks, AI-powered toolsets and vendor-agnostic architectures. Managed Services, assessing providers that deliver AI-native and automation-first managed services for complex hybrid and multicloud environments. These providers focus on integrating GenAI, agentic automation and FinOps capabilities, often using AI-native management platforms and industry-specific blueprints. FinOps Services and AI-driven Optimization, covering providers that offer intelligent, automated and predictive cost optimization and governance across multiple public cloud environments using FinOps frameworks and AI technologies. Hyperscale Infrastructure and Platform Services, evaluating providers that offer enterprise-grade infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) capabilities through scalable, resilient, AI-native platforms. The providers enable high-performance computing and GenAI workloads with self-service IaaS, sovereign architectures and sustainable infrastructures. SAP HANA Infrastructure Services, assessing providers that offer scalable, SAP-optimized platforms for hosting SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA databases. Providers deliver certified infrastructure aligned to SAP's performance, scalability and compliance standards. Secure Enterprise Filesharing Services, covering providers offering enterprise-ready filesharing platforms via SaaS models. These providers enable secure document storage, real-time collaboration and data synchronization. Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure Services, evaluating providers that deliver secure, scalable platforms for workloads requiring full data sovereignty in the Eurozone. The providers focus on data location control, encryption management, EU compliance and the adoption of open-source technologies and sustainability principles. Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global multi public cloud services market and examine products and services available in Brazil, the EU, France, Germany, the Nordics, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S., plus services used by the U.S. public sector, with a separate focus on filesharing services for Germany. ISG analysts Meenakshi Srivastava (U.K., Nordics and EU), Shashank Rajmane (U.S. and U.S. Public Sector), Pedro L. Bicudo Maschio (Brazil and France), Ulrich Meister (Germany and Switzerland) and Wolfgang Heinhaus (Germany and Switzerland) will serve as authors of the reports. For the Multi Public Cloud Solutions study, ISG has distributed surveys to more than 80 solution providers and will evaluate provider capabilities in four quadrants: Multicloud FinOps Platforms, assessing providers of proprietary platforms for cloud financial management across multiple public clouds. The vendors are assessed on their ability to optimize cloud costs, allocate costs to stakeholders and support predictive forecasting. Multicloud Observability Platforms, covering providers offering solutions for multicloud observability of containerized applications and infrastructure. These platforms deliver proactive insights for capacity planning and root cause analysis. Multicloud Security Platforms, evaluating vendors providing unified security platforms for multicloud environments. The key capabilities of the platforms include vulnerability scanning, anomaly detection, AI-enabled risk assessments and regulatory compliance monitoring. Kubernetes Management Platforms, assessing vendors offering infrastructure-centric solutions for provisioning, automating and scaling Kubernetes clusters. Providers use AI-driven monitoring for lifecycle automation and security. ISG analysts Shashank Rajmane and Partha Sarathi Chakraborty will serve as co-authors of the Multi Public Cloud Solutions report. A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the studies are available in these digital brochures: Multi Public Cloud Services and Multi Public Cloud Solutions. Companies not listed in either brochure can contact ISG and ask to be included in the studies.
