Sales

The Company reported first quarter 2025 sales of $498.7 million, an 11% increase from $450.8 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Gross Margin

Gross profit in the first quarter was $202.6 million compared to $190.5 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 40.6% compared to 42.3% for the same period last year. The year-over-year reduction in the first quarter gross margin was due primarily to higher freight costs, 90 basis points impact of foreign currency exchange-rates and lower export subsidy in our Egyptian operations.

EBIT

EBIT in the first quarter of 2025 was $32.7 million, compared to $26.0 million, in the first quarter last year.

EBIT before non-core items in the first quarter of 2025 was $32.7 million, or 6.6% of sales, compared to $29.4 million, or 6.5% of sales, in the same period last year.

The year-over-year increase in first quarter EBIT was primarily due to higher sales and controlled operating expenses.

Non-Core Items

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded no non-core expenses. For the first quarter of 2024, expenses associated with the Company’s previously disclosed realignment plan for Bare Necessities were $3.4 million.

Net Income

Net income in the first quarter of 2025 increased 46% to $17.6 million, compared to $12.0 million in the same period last year.

Net income excluding non-core items, net of tax in the first quarter of 2025, increased 22% to $17.6 million, compared to $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2025 increased 56% to $0.62, compared to $0.39 in the first quarter last year.

Diluted earnings per share, excluding non-core items, net of tax, increased 26% to $0.62 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.49 in the first quarter of 2024.

EBITDA, Cash Flow, Net Debt, Equity, and Dividend

EBITDA, excluding IFRS 16, in the first quarter of 2025 increased 7% to $40.5 million, compared to $37.7 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Cash flow generated from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16, was $4.0 million, compared to $23.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year reduction in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to changes in working capital to support expected sales growth, additional new brands and longer lead-time.

Net Debt to EBITDA, Excluding IFRS 16, as of March 31, 2025, was 0.7x and at a similar level compared to March 31, 2024.

Equity on March 31, 2025, was $817.7 million, up 7% from $764.6 million on March 31, 2024.

Delta Galil declared a dividend of $8.0 million, or $0.3065 per share, which will be distributed on June 10, 2025, with a record and "ex-dividend" date of May 28, 2025.

2025 Financial Guidance

The Company’s previous guidance provided in its 2024 annual report did not include any impacts from new tariff legislation on imports to the U.S. that recently became effective. In light of the uncertainty with respect to country specific reciprocal tariff rates, the Company has withdrawn its prior guidance.

The Company is working to offset the effects of tariffs by sharing the impacts with its long-term vendors and strategically optimizing the Company’s sourcing and production to countries with lower exposure to tariffs. The Company estimates that based on current tariff rates, the potential impact on 2025 annual operating income will not exceed $20 million. In addition, the Company is taking proactive measures to reduce annual operating expenses by $5-7 million.

The release also refers to "constant dollar" amounts, which exclude the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, and are considered a non-GAAP financial measure. These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, or superior to, Delta Galil’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
