The regional market is blooming, and Greater China is pressing the “acceleration key” for growth
Looking at the channel structure, Canada Goose Canada Goose Direct Sales (DTC) channel revenue increased 8.6% year-on-year during the period. The growth was driven by the double-digit performance of the Asia-Pacific and North American markets; retail and digital channel performance was strong, and e-commerce businesses in all regions achieved double-digit growth.
Among the regional markets, the Asia Pacific sector had the most prominent growth momentum. Revenue during the period surged 37.4% year on year, and the growth was driven by both direct management channels and the Group's procurement business. Among them, the Group's procurement business benefited from a reasonable shipping pace, compounding the steady performance of the Hainan Island and South Korean markets to achieve good growth. At the same time, the release of local consumption activity and the boom in cross-border travel consumption together underpinned regional demand, and the consumption activity of Chinese consumers in destinations around Asia increased, further supporting the regional market.
As the core growth pole of the Asia-Pacific market, Greater China performed particularly well, with revenue growth of 44.2% year-on-year during the period. Among them, the mainland China market is leading regional growth. On the one hand, e-commerce channels continue to perform strongly. On the other hand, the conversion rate of many core offline stores has increased markedly, and online and offline collaboration has promoted high-quality growth in the Greater China market.

A full-season product matrix was formed to broaden the boundaries of long-term business growth
The core support for the upward performance in the first quarter comes from the continued implementation of Canada Goose's luxury strategy throughout the season.
On the product side, the company has built a standardized cross-season product matrix to comprehensively improve the ability to adapt to all scenarios. The largest spring and summer series in the brand's history was launched in the first quarter. The series received positive feedback from the market through direct sales and group procurement channels; non-down categories such as clothing, raincoats, and windbreaker jackets accounted for nearly 40% of total quarterly revenue, and core down products also maintained steady growth, showing a good situation where emerging categories and classic products are working in both directions and leading the way.
At the brand marketing level, global communication was carried out around the 2026 spring/summer product line, launched the Snow Goose by Canda Goose spring capsule series, launched the 2026 summer series, and simultaneously launched the new brand concept platform “Natural Intelligence” (Natural Intelligence). Through a marketing logic that combines brand image building and effect transformation, the customer base coverage boundaries are broadened and the ability to acquire new customers is strengthened.

The Zhitong Finance App learned that Canada Goose currently ranks among the highest in the industry in terms of brand awareness and consumer desire in mainland China and Europe. The company plans to increase marketing resource investment in the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2027, take on the current market popularity, and efficiently transform brand exposure into actual terminal sales growth.
The channel operation dimension simultaneously optimizes network layout and supply chain management. There were a net addition of 4 specialty stores worldwide in the first quarter. By the end of the quarter, the total number of global stores reached 92; due to the impact of new spring and summer products, expansion of wholesale orders, and pre-preparation for the fall and winter peak season, inventory levels increased 11% year-on-year, fully reflecting forward-looking and steady supply chain scheduling capabilities.

In addition to physical operations, Canada Goose continues to implement a sustainable development plan and officially released the “2026 Impact Report”. The report shows that brand Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions have been cut in half compared to the FY2019 benchmark, and the sustainable layout continues to increase the long-term value of the brand and further enhance capital market recognition.
The annual growth target is clear, and dividends are expected to be further released throughout the season
For Canada Goose, breaking through the constraints of a single season category and building an all-season product system is the key to the company's smooth performance cycle and opening up the growth ceiling. The company's revenue from non-down categories has increased, and the market acceptance of the spring and summer product line has been verified; combined with increased consumer resilience and refined operation systems in China, the peak autumn and winter down season in the second half of the year is expected to further unleash performance elasticity.
Combining the global consumption environment, changes in regional demand, and the pace of strategic implementation, Canada Goose reiterated its annual performance guidelines: under a fixed exchange rate, total revenue for the 2027 fiscal year is expected to achieve low single-digit year-on-year growth, and the adjusted profit margin before interest and tax remains stable in the 11%-12% range.
Taken together, Canada Goose's outstanding performance in FY2027 Q1 is not only the result of the company's deep cultivation in core strategic areas, but also proof of the synergy between product strength, channel power and sustainable development capabilities. From deep penetration into the regional market to the improvement of the full season weather matrix, from upgrading the retail experience to forward-looking layout in the ESG field, the company continues to consolidate its brand positioning and maintain its growth momentum. With the deepening of the core strategy of categories, marketing, and channels, this brand with a history of nearly 70 years is expected to usher in a new “butterfly transformation” path.
