Document EXHIBIT 99.1 Oxford: Owner of Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Johnny Was Reports Second Quarter Results ATLANTA, September 3, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2026 ended August 1, 2026.
Consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $394 million compared to $403 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. EPS on a GAAP basis was $3.25 compared to $1.12 in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, with the current year period reflecting a $2.07 tariff related refund impact recognized during the quarter. On an adjusted basis, EPS was $1.34 compared to $1.26 in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Tom Chubb, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Our second quarter results were in-line with our expectations, highlighted by year-over-year adjusted earnings per share growth and a low-single-digit comparable sales gain at Tommy Bahama. This performance contributed to strong cash flow generation in the first half of the year, which along with tariff refunds received to-date, we used to significantly reduce debt. ”
Mr. Chubb concluded, “Tommy Bahama’s positive momentum is being offset by softness in other parts of our portfolio, particularly Lilly Pulitzer which we believe is primarily attributable to addressable product and marketing challenges in a fashion merchandising business. The combination of these internal headwinds and ongoing macro-economic consumer pressure has led us to lower our guidance for fiscal 2026. We have initiated actions to position the business for profitable growth next year, including increasing our promotional activity at Lilly Pulitzer in the coming months to spur demand and prevent the build up of slow moving inventory. We’ve also implemented a broader review across the enterprise to identify opportunities aimed at enhancing our long-term earnings power that is less dependent on historical top-line growth rates. ”
◦ Outlet sales of $20 million were comparable to the prior-year period.
◦ Wholesale sales of $52 million were 14% lower than the second quarter of fiscal 2025 driven primarily by lower off-price sales.
• Gross margin was 73.8%, compared to 61.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increased gross margin was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of recognizing $42 million of tariff refund claims as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies resulting in higher initial mark-ups, (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales and (4) a $1 million lower LIFO accounting charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. These factors were partially offset by a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events at Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Emerging Brands. On an adjusted basis, which excludes the impact of tariff refunds and LIFO accounting, gross margin was 63.1% compared to 61.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
• SG&A was $212 million compared to $209 million, impacted primarily by costs related to new brick and mortar retail locations and food and beverage locations, increases in software and consulting costs and costs associated with the transition of our Lyons, Georgia distribution center operations. On an adjusted basis, SG&A was $210 million compared to $209 million in the prior-year period.
• Royalties and other operating income increased to $7 million from $3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily reflecting the normalization of sales by our licensing partners that were impacted by the implementation of tariffs in Fiscal 2025 and $1 million of interest received related to tariff refunds.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Inventory as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased $20 million, or 12%, on a LIFO basis compared to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily as a result of an increase in the LIFO reserve and decreases in Emerging Brands, Lilly Pulitzer and Johnny Was. On a FIFO basis, inventory decreased $9 million, or 4%, compared to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
During the first half of fiscal 2026, cash provided by operations was $97 million compared to $80 million in the first half of fiscal 2025.
Borrowings outstanding decreased to $73 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $143 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026, $81 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and $116 million at the end of fiscal 2025. During the first half of fiscal 2026, cash flow from operations exceeded capital expenditures of $32 million, primarily associated with the opening of new brick and mortar locations and the distribution center in Lyons, Georgia and dividend payments of $22 million.
Dividend The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per share. The dividend is payable on October 30, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 16, 2026. The Company has paid dividends every quarter since it became publicly owned in 1960.
