<p>New York, May 2025 — Ralph Lauren announced an 8% year-over-year revenue increase for fiscal year 2025, totaling $7.1 billion, with fourth-quarter sales up 10%. The brand exceeded expectations thanks to improved inventory management, fewer promotions, and a sharpened focus on core products, resulting in a gross margin of 66.2% and a healthy rise in net income. CEO Patrice Louvet emphasized that the brand’s continued success is rooted in “value-led storytelling, consistent aesthetics, and global strategy execution.” As consumers increasingly seek identity through lifestyle brands, Ralph Lauren’s timeless position remains strong. International markets were the primary growth driver, especially Asia and Europe. China saw more than 20% growth in Q4, driven by Lunar New Year activations and enhanced flagship experiences. Japan and South Korea also rebounded steadily, with strategic DTC investments yielding high returns. Meanwhile, digital transformation remained key: traffic and engagement on Ralph Lauren’s websites and mobile apps hit new highs. Direct-to-consumer now accounts for a growing share of revenue, supported by data-driven personalization and seamless consumer experiences. Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, the company expects low-to-mid single-digit revenue growth, with stronger performance in the first half. Ralph Lauren will continue to build its design language around a fusion of classic icons and regionally inspired capsule collections. The brand will further embrace its “quiet luxury” identity while investing in supply chain flexibility and localized storytelling. Despite geopolitical uncertainties, Ralph Lauren maintains strong brand sentiment worldwide. As Louvet notes, “We’re not trend-dependent. We’re building aesthetic universality that transcends time and geography.”</p>
