Vince Holding Corp. reported third‑quarter 2025 results that surpassed analyst expectations, with net sales of $85.1 million, net income of $2.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $6.5 million. The company’s earnings per share of $0.21 exceeded the consensus estimate of $0.19, a $0.02 or 10.5% beat that reflects disciplined cost management and a favorable mix of wholesale and direct‑to‑consumer sales.
The wholesale division generated $52.0 million in sales, while the direct‑to‑consumer channel contributed $33.1 million. Operating income from wholesale rose to $19.6 million, up from $18.4 million in the prior quarter, driven by higher pricing and lower product costs. Operating income from the DTC segment was $1.2 million, supported by a record holiday sales weekend and the launch of a dropship strategy that broadened the online assortment.
Compared with the same period a year earlier, Q3 2025 net sales grew 6.2% to $85.1 million from $80.2 million, while net income fell 37% to $2.7 million from $4.3 million. Gross margin contracted to 49.2% from 50.0% year‑over‑year, largely due to increased tariff and freight costs that offset gains from lower product costing and higher pricing. The company’s debt profile remains healthy, with total borrowings at $36.1 million and $47.3 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.
Management guided for fourth‑quarter net sales growth of 3‑7% year‑over‑year and full‑year net sales growth of 2‑3%. Adjusted operating income is expected to be 2‑3% of net sales, and adjusted EBITDA is projected to be 4‑5% of net sales. These targets signal confidence in continued demand and the effectiveness of cost‑control initiatives, while acknowledging the impact of anticipated tariff costs of $4‑5 million in the final quarter.
CEO Brendan Hoffman highlighted the company’s “strong performance across all channels” and praised the “enhancements to the customer experience” that include store renovations, an e‑commerce site refresh, and the expansion of dropship capabilities. He emphasized that disciplined execution and strategic reinvestment are positioning Vince Holding Corp. for sustained long‑term profitable growth, even as it navigates ongoing tariff and freight headwinds.
