Lucas Hudson's questions to Canada Goose Holdings Inc (GOOS) leadership • Q1 2026
Question
Lucas Hudson, on for Alex Perry of Bank of America, asked about the expected drivers of improvement for the rest of the year, specifically the balance between macro recovery and internal initiatives, and whether APAC outside of Mainland China could outperform the mainland.
Answer
President & COO Beth Clymer emphasized that as a relatively small brand with significant runway, the company can succeed even in challenging macro environments by focusing on controllable initiatives. CFO Neil Bowden added that their plans do not assume a major macro improvement. He suggested that Mainland China likely has more upside for the fiscal year than the rest of the APAC region, which is smaller and faces some traffic pressures in markets like Hong Kong.
