Zumiez Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, revealing a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the same period last year. For the six months ended August 1, 2026, the company recorded a net loss of $16.0 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $15.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2025. Net sales for the quarter were $209.0 million, a decrease of 2.5% from $214.3 million in the prior year, while sales for the six-month period increased slightly to $402.3 million from $398.6 million.

The company's gross profit for the second quarter was $73.9 million, down from $76.0 million a year earlier, reflecting a gross margin of 35.3%, a slight decline from 35.5%. The decrease in gross profit was attributed to higher store occupancy costs due to lower sales, partially offset by benefits from tariff refunds. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $75.2 million from $75.9 million, but as a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to 35.9% from 35.4%, driven by higher non-wage operating costs and deleverage on lower sales.

Zumiez's operational metrics showed a decline in comparable sales, which fell by 2.1% in the second quarter, primarily due to a decrease in transactions, although the average transaction value increased. The company also reported a net closure of 16 stores since the previous year, impacting overall sales performance. In terms of geographic performance, North American sales decreased by 3.4%, while international sales, including Europe and Australia, saw a slight increase of 2.5%.

Looking ahead, Zumiez plans to continue its growth strategy, which includes opening approximately five new stores and remodeling existing locations. The company expects to invest between $13 million and $15 million in capital expenditures for these initiatives. However, the outlook remains cautious due to ongoing economic uncertainties and competitive pressures in the retail sector. Zumiez's management emphasized the importance of adapting to changing consumer preferences and market conditions to drive future performance.
