Q1 2025: Five Below, Inc. said net sales grew 19.5% year over year to $970.5 million in its fiscal first quarter ended May 3. Comparable sales were up 7.1% over the same period.

In its earnings release, Five Below shared that Kristy Chipman, its chief financial officer and treasurer, would step down. It cited personal reasons for the change. Ken Bull, the retail chain’s chief operating officer, will become interim chief financial officer. In the meantime, Five Below will search for a permanent replacement.

Winnie Park, Five Below’s president, CEO and director, noted she sees digital opportunities for new marketing efforts.

“I continue to believe that there’s a big opportunity to better connect with our customers both in-store and digitally, and ultimately increase our brand awareness,” Park stated on a call. Those include what she referred to as “six curtain-up moments to drive customers to our stores, which include the new year, Spring Break in Easter, summer, then back-to-school, Halloween and finally, holiday.”

Lululemon Athletica, Inc. (No. 24)

Q1 2025: Lululemon Athletica, Inc. reported a net revenue increase of 7.3% year over year to $2.4 billion in its fiscal first quarter ended May 4. International net revenue for the apparel retailer was up 19% from the comparable period one year ago, as Americas net revenue grew 3%.

Digital revenue was also up year over year to $961 million, accounting for 41% of total revenue, Meghan Frank, chief financial officer at Lululemon, shared on its earnings call.

Still, Lululemon acknowledged that it faced a “dynamic macroenvironment” characterized by unpredictable factors such as consumer spending and tariffs. The company lowered its full-year guidance as a result, though CEO Calvin McDonald said he believed it to be “better positioned than most.”

In addition, Lululemon plans to raise prices for at least some products.

“We are planning to take strategic price increases, looking item by item across our assortment as we typically do, and it will be price increases on a small portion of our assortment, and they will be modest in nature,” said Frank.

Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. (No. 81)

Q1 2025: Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. recorded a net sales decline of 2.3% year over year to $1.5 billion in its fiscal first quarter ended May 3.

“We are pleased to deliver first quarter earnings results ahead of our guidance and to reaffirm our outlook for fiscal 2025, which now incorporates the impact of tariffs,” said Joel Anderson, the chief executive officer at Petco. “This performance is a testament to the execution of our nearly 30,000 team members and the resilience of the category in which we operate.”

During Petco’s earnings call, Anderson shared some areas where the retailer has been updating its digital experience.

“For example, our Grooming software has been upgraded to allow more flexibility for online appointments,” Anderson noted. “With over 40% of our appointments made online, it is important our pet parents constantly see multiple open time slots.”

New software capabilities extend to veterinarians as well.

“On the vet side, we’ve made several software enhancements to our vet scheduling system to ensure we have better coverage,” he stated. “I believe our industry-leading services offering, once optimized, will be a key driver of in-store customer traffic, customer retention and loyalty over time.”

Asked about tariffs during Abercrombie’s earnings call, Robert Ball, its chief financial officer, responded. He said the total impact on the retailer was expected to be about $70 million. However, he also stated that Abercrombie expects to offset approximately $20 million of those costs.

“We’ve got a fleet of highly productive, profitable stores that complements a really profitable digital business,” Ball said. “We’ve got three regions that are comping positive with line of sight to more growth ahead.”

Still, tariffs remained a challenge as leaders addressed their impact.

“As we continue to navigate tariffs, we’re implementing various mitigation strategies, including partnering with our sourcing vendors to reduce costs,” said Mike Mathias, chief financial officer at AEO, during its earnings call. “Additionally, we’re further diversifying our supply chain and on track to reduce our sourcing exposure to China to under 10% this year, with fall and holiday season down to low single digits.”
