Bull points
- Net sales grew 5%, and we grew net sales in all key categories. Demand also grew mid-single digits, closely marrying net sales and ensuring a healthy channel inventory position.
- We reduced operating expenses by 2% year over year, including an 8% reduction in general and administrative expenses.
- As a result, the quarter's OPEX as a percent of sales was down 200 basis points versus last year. And despite tariffs, we delivered a solid gross margin of 42.1% in the quarter, driven by our ability to mitigate the tariff impact through product cost reductions, manufacturing diversification, as well as pricing.
Bear points
- Asi, I think the situation is still pretty volatile in terms of macroeconomic impact. We'll have to see, to Annika's point, what is going to happen with the consumer, the price elasticity, even in the second quarter. So I think making any comment beyond the second quarter at this point is a bit premature.
- As we look ahead to the second quarter and beyond, we expect continued uncertainty when it comes to tariff policy, to inflation, and customer sentiment.
- the effect of the actually higher consumer price, that is yet to be seen. And again, usually in the short term, that could have an effect on sales and share.
