Columbia Sportswear Company Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Updates Full Year 2026 Financial Outlook
Columbia Sportswear posted Q3 2026 net sales of $962.6 million, up 2% year-over-year, with diluted EPS of $1.66 versus $0.95 a year ago; management said sales and EPS exceeded its guidance. Prior-year comparisons are flattered by $29.0 million of prAna/Mountain Hardwear impairment charges that cost $0.46 of EPS, and nine-month results include an $0.85 EPS benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds. The company raised the low end of FY26 guidance: net sales to $3.46-$3.50 billion and EPS to $4.65-$4.90, while cutting the operating cash flow outlook to $230-$250 million from $290-$310 million on earlier Spring 2027 inventory production.
