Edouard Aubin's questions to Birkenstock Holding PLC (BIRK) leadership • Q3 2025
Question
Edouard Aubin of Morgan Stanley sought clarification on whether DTC growth would reaccelerate in Q4 from its Q3 rate and asked if most goods for fiscal 2025 were shipped pre-tariff, thereby limiting the financial impact in the current year.
Answer
CFO Ivica Krolo confirmed that DTC growth is expected to accelerate in Q4, but B2B will still outpace it for the quarter and the full year. He also affirmed that the company's strong inventory position, established prior to the tariff changes, helps mitigate the adverse effects for the current fiscal year.
