Overview
- Aritzia plans to cut its reliance on Chinese manufacturing from 25% to 20% for the fall-winter season and further reduce it to mid-single-digit levels by next spring.
- The company is diversifying production to 12 other countries, including Vietnam and Cambodia, and exploring new supplier partnerships to enhance its product offerings.
- CEO Jennifer Wong attributes the accelerated supply chain shift to ongoing tariff uncertainty, which has disrupted global trade dynamics and increased costs.
- Strong financial results, including a 31% revenue increase to $895.1 million and a fourfold rise in net income for the quarter ending March 2, are fueling Aritzia's growth strategy.
- Aritzia is opening five new U.S. boutiques this year and plans to launch an upgraded e-commerce platform and mobile app by the end of the fiscal year.
