Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated, “We achieved solid, mid-single-digit comparable sales growth for the first two months of our fiscal fourth quarter, however this result was below our planned comparable sales for the quarter. After generally trending on plan through early December, we saw softer than expected results in the peak weeks of holiday. We continue to be confident that the recent changes we’ve made to our merchandise assortments and customer engagement tactics have the business positioned to deliver further top and bottom-line gains. We look forward to building on our recent progress in fiscal 2025 and generating greater value for our shareholders in the years to come.”
