• For fiscal 2026 the company guides to 6%–8% sales growth and adjusted EPS of $2.77–$2.83 (up ~12%–14%), but expects first‑half margin pressure and back‑half recovery due to timing and tariff effects.
• Management emphasized a ramping global innovation engine and product expansion (examples: Daytrip, Camino, Scala packs and expanded drinkware platforms) plus accelerating international rollout, which the company says is a major multi‑year growth driver.
• Tariffs remain a significant headwind — management expects roughly a $80M incremental COGS impact versus 2024 (embedded ~200–310 bps gross margin pressure and about $0.35 EPS headwind), with outsized impact in H1 2026 despite supply‑chain diversification efforts.
