The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close on or around July 31, 2025 for the Dockers® intellectual property and operations in the U.S. and Canada, and on or around January 31, 2026, for the remaining Dockers® operations. Dockers® net assets were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. Additionally, the Company classified the Dockers® business as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations”. The Dockers® business is a separate operating segment historically presented in our financial statements under the caption of Other Brands.
The Company operates its business according to three reportable segments: Americas, Europe, and Asia, collectively comprising the Company's Levi's Brands business, which includes the Levi's®, Levi Strauss Signature™ and Denizen® brands. In the first quarter of 2024 the Company announced the strategic decision to discontinue the Denizen® brand with the wind down of operations substantially complete as of March 2, 2025. The Beyond Yoga® business, which is managed separately, does not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments but is presented separately to increase transparency of performance.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned foreign and domestic subsidiaries, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 1, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 1, 2025 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the year ending November 30, 2025.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday that is closest to November 30 of that year, although the fiscal years of certain foreign subsidiaries end on November 30. Each quarter of both fiscal years 2025 and 2024 consists of 13 weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of 2024, which consisted of 14 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal years and quarters rather than calendar years and quarters.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods.

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 1, 2025
Distribution Center Conversion
On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to replace the Company’s legacy U.S. distribution centers with a new third party logistics center. The Company maintains certain rights over the warehouse, and warehouse equipment and technologies which resulted in an Operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability of $30.6 million in “Operating lease right-of-use assets, net” and “Short-term Operating lease liabilities” and “Long-term Operating lease liabilities” balances and a Financing lease right-of-use asset and lease liability of $14.0 million in “Other non-current assets” and “Long-term employee related benefits and other liabilities” balances on the consolidated balance sheets during 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded an additional Financing lease right-of-use asset and lease liability of $61.6 million in “Other non-current assets” and “Long-term employee related benefits and other liabilities” balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. Impairment losses are measured and recorded for the excess of carrying value over its fair value, estimated based on expected future cash flows and other quantitative and qualitative factors. Property, plant and equipment, net includes accumulated depreciation of $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion as of June 1, 2025 and December 1, 2024, respectively.
Supplier Finance Program
The Company offers a supplier financing program which enables the Company’s suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e., the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide.
The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the supplier’s participation in these arrangements. The Company’s payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. Our current payment terms with a majority of our suppliers are typically 90 days. The Company has not pledged any assets and does not provide guarantees under the supplier finance program. As such, the outstanding payment obligations under the Company’s supplier finance program are included within Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s outstanding payment obligations under this program were $158.5 million as of June 1, 2025 and $152.2 million as of December 1, 2024.
Share Repurchases
During the six months ended June 1, 2025, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares for $30.0 million, plus broker’s commissions, in the open market. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $18.45 per share. During the second quarter of 2025, there were no shares repurchased. During the three and six months ended May 26, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.8 million and 2.3 million shares for $17.0 million and $41.9 million, plus broker's commissions, respectively, in the open market. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $18.21 per share for the six months ended May 26, 2024.
The Company accounts for share repurchases by charging the excess of the repurchase price over the repurchased Class A common stock’s par value entirely to retained earnings. All repurchased shares are retired and become authorized but unissued shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Assets and liabilities of a business that meet the accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale are separated in a disposal group. Disposal group net assets are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less expected costs to sell. After being classified as held for sale, assets are not depreciated or amortized.
Assets and liabilities of a disposal group that meet the accounting requirements to be classified as discontinued operations are presented separately for all current and prior periods in the consolidated balance sheets. The results of discontinued
LEVI STRAUSS & CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 1, 2025
operations are reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the consolidated statements of income for the current and prior periods beginning in the period in which the business meets the held for sale criteria. Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes direct costs attributable to the business held for sale, and an estimate of costs from corporate functions dedicated to the business, but excludes corporate expenses composed of selling, general and administrative expenses not attributable to any of the operating segments. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations”.
Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements refers only to the Company’s continuing operations.
Reclassification
Certain amounts on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flows have been conformed to the June 1, 2025 presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, from those disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the fourth quarter of 2025. This new guidance is designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its segment footnote disclosures.
NOTE 2: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the fourth quarter of 2024 the Company announced it had initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives to the global Dockers® brand, which could include a sale or other strategic transactions. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company commenced a sale process of its Dockers® business and the Company determined that the Dockers® business met held for sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Dockers® business for an initial transaction value of $311 million, subject to customary adjustments and closing conditions, with the potential to reach up to $391 million through an $80 million earnout opportunity in future years based on the performance of the Dockers® business. The sale is expected to close on or around July 31, 2025 for the Dockers® intellectual property and operations in the U.S. and Canada, and on or around January 31, 2026, for the remaining Dockers® operations.
Dockers® net assets were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The Dockers® net assets were classified as current and non-current. Additionally, the Company classified the Dockers® business as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company uses over-the-counter derivative instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currencies. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the forward foreign exchange contracts. However, the Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. See Note 4 for additional information.
Other Contingencies
Litigation. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various claims, complaints and pending cases, including contractual matters, facility and employee-related matters, distribution matters, product liability matters, intellectual property matters, bankruptcy preference matters, and tax and administrative matters. The Company establishes loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe any of these pending claims, complaints and legal proceedings will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Customs Duty Audits. The Company imports both raw materials and finished garments into all of its geographic regions and, as such, is subject to numerous countries’ complex customs laws and regulations with respect to its import and export activity. The Company has various pending audit assessments in connection with these activities. As of June 1, 2025, the Company has recorded certain reserves for these matters which are not material. The Company does not believe any of the claims for customs duty and related charges will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 9: DIVIDENDS
Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Board. In both January and April 2025, the Company declared cash dividends of $0.13 per share, to holders of record of its Class A and Class B common stock. In both January and April 2024, the Company declared cash dividends of $0.12 per share to holders of record of its Class A and Class B common stock. During the three and six months ended June 1, 2025, dividends were paid in the amount of $51.4 million and $102.8 million respectively, compared to $47.7 million and $95.6 million, respectively, for the same prior-year period.
The Company does not have an established dividend policy. The Board reviews the Company’s ability to pay dividends on an ongoing basis and establishes the dividend amount based on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, current and projected cash flows and other factors, and any restrictions related to the terms of the Company’s debt agreements.
Subsequent to the Company’s quarter end, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.14 per share to holders of record of its Class A and Class B common stock at the close of business on July 24, 2025, for a total quarterly dividend of approximately $55 million.

____________
(1)Gains on forward foreign exchange contracts primarily result from currency fluctuations relative to negotiated contract rates. For the three and six months ended June 1, 2025, gains were primarily due to currency fluctuations relative to negotiated contract rates on positions to buy the Euro.
(2)Foreign currency transaction gains and losses reflect the impact of currency fluctuations on the Company's foreign currency denominated balances. For the three and six months ended June 1, 2025, losses were primarily due to the impact of U.S. dollar weakening against the Euro.
NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 22.3% for the three months ended June 1, 2025, compared to (56.3)% for the same prior-year period. The increase in the effective tax rate in the current quarter is primarily due to a one-time $7.5 million tax benefit related to a favorable resolution of a state audit in the prior year.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 21.2% for the six months ended June 1, 2025, compared to 1,072.6% for the same prior-year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a one-time $7.5 million tax benefit related to a favorable resolution of a state audit as a proportion to losses before income taxes in the prior year.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development reached agreement among over 140 countries to implement a minimum 15% tax rate on certain multinational enterprises, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. Many countries continue to announce changes in their tax laws and regulations based on the Pillar Two framework. The Company determined that Pillar Two did not have a material impact to our tax provision for the three and six months ended June 1, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact of legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The Beyond Yoga® business is managed separately. Corporate expenses are comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses that management does not attribute to any of our operating segments and these expenses primarily relate to corporate administration, information resources, finance and human resources functional and organizational costs. In the first quarter of 2024 we announced the strategic decision to discontinue the Denizen® brand with the wind down of operations substantially complete as of March 2, 2025. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, the Company determined that the Dockers® business met held for sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Dockers® business. Accordingly, the Company classified the Dockers® business as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of income for all periods presented and excluded the business from segment results for all periods presented. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations”.
The Company considers its chief executive officer to be its chief operating decision maker. The Company’s chief operating decision maker manages business operations, evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segments’ net revenues and operating income.

| Item 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and with our audited financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 1, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2025. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements. We use a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on the Sunday that is closest to November 30 of that year. References to 2024 and 2025 below in this section are references to our fiscal years ending in December 2024 and November 2025, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. See “Financial Information Presentation - Fiscal Year.”
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results.
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures throughout this Quarterly Report, as described further below, to provide investors with additional useful information about our financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance from management’s point of view and because we believe they provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on our calculation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Overview
We are an iconic American company with a rich history of profitable growth, quality, innovation and corporate citizenship. Our story began in San Francisco, California, in 1853 as a wholesale dry goods business. We created the first riveted blue jean 20 years later. Today we design, market and sell products that include jeans, casual and dress pants, activewear, tops, shorts, skirts, dresses, jackets and related accessories for men, women and children around the world under our Levi’s®, Dockers®, Levi Strauss Signature™, Denizen® and Beyond Yoga® brands. We service our consumers through our global infrastructure which develops, sources and markets our products around the world. In the first quarter of 2024 we announced the strategic decision to discontinue the Denizen® brand. The wind down of Denizen® brand operations was substantially complete as of March 2, 2025. In the second quarter of 2025 we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Dockers® business.
We recognize wholesale revenue from sales of our products through third-party retailers such as department stores, specialty retailers, third-party e-commerce sites and franchise locations dedicated to our brands. We also sell our products directly to consumers (“DTC”) through a variety of formats, including our own company-operated mainline and outlet stores, company-operated e-commerce sites and select shop-in-shops that we operate within department stores and other third-party retail locations. As of June 1, 2025, our products were sold in approximately 50,000 retail locations in approximately 120 countries, including approximately 3,200 brand-dedicated stores and shop-in-shops. As of June 1, 2025, we had 1,183 company-operated stores located in 39 countries and approximately 510 company-operated shop-in-shops. The remainder of our brand-dedicated stores and shop-in-shops were operated by franchisees and other partners.
Across all of our brands, pants – including jeans, casual pants, dress pants, shorts, skirts and activewear – represented 68% and 66% of our total units sold in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Tops – including shirts, sweaters, jackets, dresses and jumpsuits – represented 29% and 28% of our total units sold in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The remainder of our products are accessories. Men’s products generated 60% and 61% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Women’s products generated 39% and 38% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The remainder of our products are non-gendered. Products other than denim bottoms – which include tops, accessories and pants excluding jeans – represented 38% and 37% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our Europe and Asia businesses, collectively, contributed 46% and 47% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net revenues from our international business, which includes our Europe and Asia segments, as well as Canada and Latin America from our Americas segment, represented 57% and 58% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Sales of Levi’s® brand products represented approximately 94% and 93% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our wholesale channel generated 49% and 52% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Sales to franchise partners, included as a component of our wholesale channel, generated 6% and 7% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our DTC channel generated 51% and 48% of our net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, with our company operated e-commerce business representing 23% and 22% of DTC channel net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 12% and 11% of total net revenues in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Pending Sale of Dockers®
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company announced it had initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives for the Dockers® brand, which could include a potential sale or other strategic transaction. During the second quarter of 2025 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Dockers® business. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close on or around July 31, 2025 for the Dockers® intellectual property and operations in the U.S. and Canada, and on or around January 31, 2026, for the remaining Dockers® operations. The Dockers® business was reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. The current year and prior year metrics included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis exclude the impact of Dockers®.
Project Fuel
In the first quarter of 2024, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a multi-year global productivity initiative, “Project Fuel”, designed to accelerate the execution of our Brand Led and DTC First strategies while fueling long-term profitable growth. This is a two-year initiative that began in 2024, with a focus on optimizing our operating model and structure, redesigning business processes and identifying opportunities to reduce costs and simplify processes across our organization. The Company is changing its distribution strategy from an owned and operated model to a mix of owned and third-party operated distribution centers, which has resulted and will continue to result in the sale, lease, exit or transfer of certain distribution centers currently owned and operated by the Company to third-party logistics providers. The first phase of the global productivity initiative was completed primarily in the first half of 2024. In connection with the initiative, we incurred restructuring charges of $6.8 million and restructuring related charges of $4.4 million in the first six months of 2025, which were included in “Restructuring charges, net” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” (“SG&A”), respectively, in the consolidated statements of income. We may incur additional significant restructuring and restructuring related charges as we progress our global productivity initiative, which could be material in a future fiscal quarter or year.
Other Factors Affecting Our Business
We believe the other key business and marketplace factors that are impacting our business include the following:
•Additional tariffs recently imposed on products imported into the U.S. from most jurisdictions, along with retaliatory actions by other countries, have created an uncertain environment for global trade. In addition, many of our products are produced in countries, such as Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vietnam, which may be the subject of new U.S. reciprocal tariffs, and there may be additional or increased incremental tariff actions in the future. As a result of the new tariffs, expected additional tariffs, and retaliatory actions taken by other countries in response, the cost of our inventory in the U.S. has increased and may increase further in the future. These increased costs could lead to a significant increase in cost of sales and a significant reduction in gross margin and income from operations. We are monitoring the changing tariff and trade restrictions, assessing the impact on our business and taking steps to mitigate their impact, which include supplier negotiations, cost reductions, changing the timing of receiving inventory and selective price increases. However, the duration, magnitude and scope of any additional tariffs, trade restrictions, retaliatory or other measures are difficult to predict, including any related impacts to consumer demand, along with the extent (if any) to which we will be able to offset the impacts of such actions through our mitigation efforts. These tariff actions, retaliatory measures, or other trade restrictions, could materially and adversely affect our business.
•Macroeconomic pressures in the U.S. and the global economy such as changes in tariff regimes, inflation and recession fears are creating a complex and challenging retail environment for us and our customers as consumers may reduce discretionary spending. A decline in consumer spending has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on our revenues, margins and net income. These trends historically have impacted and may impact our future financial results, affecting revenue, margins and net income.
•As we continue to execute on our strategic framework to be DTC First, we expect to see greater impact on our margins, as the diversification of our business model across channels, geographies, brands, and categories affects our gross margin. For example, if our sales in higher gross margin channels, geographies, brands and categories grow at a faster rate than in our lower gross margin channels, geographies, brands and categories, we would expect a favorable impact to aggregate gross margin over time. Gross margin in our Europe segment is generally higher than in our Americas and Asia segments. DTC sales generally have higher gross margins than sales through third parties, although DTC sales also typically have higher selling expenses and could have lower profitability. Enhancements to our existing product offerings, or our expansion into new brands and products categories, may also impact our future gross margin.
•The current domestic and international political environment, including volatile trade relations and military and civil conflicts, have resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy. There is greater uncertainty with respect to potential changes in trade regulations, tariffs, sanctions and export controls which also increase volatility in the global economy. This environment has affected and may continue to affect production and distribution lead times, increasing our costs and potentially affecting our ability to meet customer demand. If these disruptions persist, they may require us to modify our current sourcing practices, which may impact our product costs, and, if not mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
•Foreign currencies continue to be volatile, with the volatility increasing due to the imposition of and changing tariff regimes. Significant fluctuations of the U.S. Dollar against various foreign currencies, including the Euro and Mexican Peso, has in the past and may in the future negatively impact our financial results, revenue, operating margins and net income.
•Tax legislation continues to evolve globally with new laws and regulations that create uncertainty in the global economy. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development reached agreement among over 140 countries to implement a minimum 15% tax rate on certain multinational enterprises, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. Many countries continue to announce changes in their tax laws and regulations based on the Pillar Two framework. Additionally, U.S Congress enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) which includes significant provisions, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the international tax framework. While we continue to evaluate the impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available, uncertainty remains regarding the timing and interpretation by tax authorities in affected jurisdictions. These legislative changes could have an adverse impact on our future effective tax rate, tax liabilities, and cash tax.
•There has been increased focus from our stakeholders, including consumers, employees, investors, regulatory organizations and legislatures on corporate environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) practices, including corporate practices related to the causes and impacts of climate change and corporate statements, practices or products related to a variety of social issues. We expect that stakeholder expectations and actions with respect to
ESG practices and social issues and regulatory requirements will continue to evolve rapidly, which may impact our reputation and financial results.
These factors contribute to a global market environment of intense competition, constant product innovation and continuing cost pressure, and combine with the continuing global economic conditions to create a challenging commercial and economic environment. We evaluate these factors as we develop and execute our strategies.
For additional information regarding these risks, as well as other risks we face, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 1, 2024.
Seasonality of Sales
We typically achieve our largest quarterly revenues in the fourth quarter. In fiscal year 2024, our net revenues in the first, second, third and fourth quarters represented 24%, 23%, 24% and 29%, respectively, of our total net revenues for the year.
Our Second Quarter 2025 Results
•Net revenues. Consolidated net revenues increased 6.4% on a reported basis and 8.8% on an organic net revenues basis compared to the second quarter of 2024 reflecting net revenue growth across the Americas and Europe regions and in both DTC and wholesale channels. Organic net revenues excludes the impact on net revenues of the footwear and Denizen® divestitures from the second quarter of 2024.
•Net income from continuing operations. We recognized consolidated net income from continuing operations of $79.6 million, compared to net income from continuing operations of $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher gross profit. Operating margin was 7.5%, up from 1.5% in the second quarter of 2024.
•Adjusted EBIT. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, Adjusted EBIT increased 38.7% to $119.3 million from $86.0 million. The increase is due to higher gross profit and lower Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of net revenues. As a result, Adjusted EBIT margin was 8.3%, 190 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2024 on a reported basis, and 200 basis points higher on a constant-currency basis.
•Adjusted net income. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, Adjusted net income increased to $88.5 million from $65.4 million. The increase is due to higher Adjusted EBIT as described above.
•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We recognized diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.20, compared to $0.04 in the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to the higher Net income from continuing operations described above.
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $0.22 from $0.16, mainly due to the higher Adjusted net income described above. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on Adjusted diluted earnings per share.
•Inventory. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, inventory increased 15%, excluding the Dockers® business, in preparation for sales for the remainder of the year and from earlier receipts in order to mitigate potential impacts from tariffs.
Our Year-to-Date 2025 Results
•Net revenues. Consolidated net revenues increased 4.7% on a reported basis and 8.7% on an organic net revenues basis compared to the first six months of 2024. Net revenues grew across our regions and in our DTC business globally.
•Net income from continuing operations. Compared to the first six months of 2024, consolidated net income from continuing operations increased to $219.8 million from $7.3 million, primarily due to the recognition of $13.5 million in restructuring charges in the current year compared to $168.2 million recognized in the prior year, and higher gross profit. These increases were partially offset by higher income taxes in the current year. Operating margin was 10.1% compared to 0.8% in the first six months of 2024.
•Adjusted EBIT. Compared to the first six months of 2024, Adjusted EBIT increased 43.9% to $323.3 million from $224.6 million, primarily due to higher gross profit and lower Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of net revenues in the current year. Adjusted EBIT margin was 10.9%, 300 basis points higher than the first six months of 2024 on a reported basis and 320 basis points higher on a constant-currency basis.
•Adjusted net income. Compared to the first six months of 2024, Adjusted net income increased 44.0% to $238.5 million from $165.6 million, primarily due to higher Adjusted EBIT described above, partially offset by higher income taxes in the current year.
•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Compared to the first six months of 2024, diluted earnings per share increased to $0.55 from $0.02, mainly due to higher net income from continuing operations described above.
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share. Compared to the first six months of 2024, Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $0.60 from $0.41, due to higher Adjusted net income described above. Currency translation unfavorably affected Adjusted diluted earnings per share by $0.01.

Financial Information Presentation
Fiscal year. We use a 52- or 53- week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on the Sunday that is closest to November 30 of that year. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries have fiscal years ending November 30. Each fiscal year generally consists of four 13-week quarters, with each quarter ending on the Sunday that is closest to the last day of the last month of that quarter. Fiscal year 2025 is a 52-week year, ending on November 30, 2025 and fiscal year 2024 was a 53-week year, ending on December 1, 2024. Each quarter of fiscal years 2025 and 2024 consists of 13 weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of 2024, which consisted of 14 weeks.
Segments. Our Levi’s Brands business, which includes Levi’s®, Levi Strauss Signature™ and Denizen® brands, is defined by geographical regions into three segments: Americas, Europe and Asia. Our Beyond Yoga® business is managed separately.
Classification. Our classification of certain significant revenues and expenses reflects the following:
•Net revenues comprise net sales and licensing revenues. Net sales include sales of products to wholesale customers, including franchised stores, and direct sales to consumers at our company-operated stores and shop-in-shops located within department stores and other third-party locations, as well as company-operated e-commerce sites. Net revenues are recorded net of discounts, allowances for estimated returns and retailer promotions and other incentives. Licensing revenues, which include revenues from the use of our trademarks in connection with the manufacturing, advertising and distribution of trademarked products by third-party licensees, are earned and recognized as products are sold by licensees based on royalty rates as set forth in the applicable licensing agreements.
•Cost of goods sold primarily comprises product costs, labor and related overhead, sourcing costs, inbound freight, internal transfers and the cost of operating our manufacturing facilities, including the related depreciation expense. On both a reported and constant-currency basis, cost of goods sold reflects the transactional currency impact resulting from the purchase of products in a currency other than the functional currency.
•Selling expenses reflected in SG&A include, among other things, all occupancy costs and depreciation associated with our company-operated stores and commissions associated with our company-operated shop-in-shops, as well as costs associated with our e-commerce operations.
•We reflect substantially all distribution costs in SG&A, for both our DTC and wholesale channels, including costs related to receiving and inspection at distribution centers, warehousing, shipping to our customers, handling, and certain other activities associated with our distribution network.
Discontinued operations. At the end of the first quarter of 2025 the Dockers® business was held for sale and reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.

Total net revenues increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. Currency translation affected net revenues unfavorably by approximately $8 million for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and by approximately $54 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. The divestitures of the Denizen® business and footwear category impacted net revenues unfavorably by $10 million and $12 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and by $22 million and $28 million, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025.
Americas. Currency translation affected net revenues unfavorably by approximately $15 million for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and by approximately $34 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. Net revenues in the Americas increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 on both reported and organic net revenues basis compared to the prior-year periods driven by growth in both DTC and wholesale channels.
The increase in DTC revenues was attributable to growth across all markets, led by the U.S. and Latin America, driven by store performance due to higher traffic. E-commerce revenues increased, primarily due to higher online traffic and conversion. Wholesale revenues increased primarily due to higher volume in the U.S. and Latin America, including from door and category expansion. Additionally, Colombia, which we acquired at the start of the second quarter of 2024, contributed $15 million to net revenue growth for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. Net revenues also benefited from higher average revenues per unit for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025.
Europe. Currency translation affected net revenues favorably by approximately $10 million for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and unfavorably by approximately $8 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. Net revenues in Europe increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 on both a reported and organic net revenues basis compared to the prior-year periods, reflecting growth in both our DTC and wholesale channels. The increase in DTC revenues was primarily due to store performance, store expansion, and higher e-commerce revenues primarily due to higher traffic.
Wholesale revenues increased for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 on both a reported and organic basis compared to the prior year period primarily due to normalization of shipping after the transition to the distribution center in Dorsten, Germany. Wholesale revenues increased on an organic net revenues basis for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 due primarily to higher volumes, and decreased on a reported basis due to the decline in net revenues from the divestiture of the footwear category. Net revenues also benefited from higher average revenues per unit for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025.
Asia. Currency translation affected net revenues unfavorably by approximately $3 million for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and by approximately $11 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. Net revenues in Asia were flat for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 on both reported and organic net revenues basis and increased for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 on both reported and organic net revenues basis.
Organic net revenues were flat for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025, compared to the prior-year quarter, as growth in our DTC channel was offset by a decrease in our wholesale channel. For the six-month period ended June 1, 2025, organic net revenues increased driven by growth in our DTC channel partially offset by a decrease in our wholesale channel. The increase in DTC revenues was primarily due to store expansion and strong performance in our company-operated stores as a result of increased volume driven by higher traffic. We benefited from 54 more company-operated stores in operation in Asia as of June 1, 2025 as compared to May 26, 2024. The decrease in wholesale revenue was primarily due to declines in India, China and Malaysia. DTC and wholesale revenues benefited from price increases in Turkey, India and South Africa.
Beyond Yoga®. Net revenues in Beyond Yoga® increased on a reported and organic net revenues basis for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to growth in e-commerce. Currency translation did not have an impact on net revenues.
Net revenues by channel
Wholesale. Currency translation affected net revenues unfavorably by approximately $9 million and $33 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively. Net revenues in our wholesale channel increased for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 compared with the prior-year periods on a reported and organic net revenues basis driven by higher volume in the Americas and Europe, partially offset by a decline in Asia. For the three-month period, higher volume in Europe was due primarily to normalization of shipping after the transition to the distribution center in Dorsten, Germany. Wholesale revenues increased on an organic net revenues basis for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 due primarily to higher volumes, and were flat on a reported basis due to the decline in net revenues from the divestitures of the Denizen® business and footwear category.
DTC (Direct to Consumer). Net revenues in our DTC channel increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, with currency translation affecting net revenues favorably by approximately $1 million and unfavorably by approximately $21 million, respectively. The increase was driven by store performance, as well as e-commerce. On an organic net revenues basis our DTC business grew 9% and 9% in the U.S., 9% and 10% in Europe, and 10% and 12% in Asia for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively. For both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 net revenues from e-commerce grew 13%. As a percentage of net revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, DTC comprised 50% and 51% of total net revenues, respectively.
Levi’s Brands net revenues
Levi’s®. Net revenues for the Levi’s® brand increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025. Currency translation affected net revenues unfavorably by approximately $7 million and $53 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively. The increase was a result of higher revenue in our DTC channel, due to improved store performance and store expansion and higher e-commerce traffic, and an increase in wholesale revenues, primarily in the Americas and Europe, due to higher volume.
Levi Strauss Signature™. Net revenues for the Levi Strauss Signature™ brand were flat on both a reported and organic net revenues basis for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025, and increased on both a reported and organic net revenues basis for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 due to more units sold. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on net revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025.
Denizen®. Net revenues decreased on a reported basis due to the exit of the brand which was largely complete by March 2, 2025. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on net revenues.

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, the increase in gross margin was primarily driven by lower product costs and favorable channel mix. Additionally, gross margin increased approximately 50 basis points as a result of currency exchange, including transaction impacts, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 and benefited from higher full priced sales and less promotional activity.

* Not meaningful
Currency translation did not have a significant impact on SG&A for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and had a favorable impact of approximately $16 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025.
Selling. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on selling expenses for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and had a favorable impact of approximately $10 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. Excluding the effects of currency, selling expenses increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 while selling expenses as a percent of revenue decreased as compared to the prior-year periods. The leverage was primarily due to DTC business expansion in the current year as compared to the prior-year periods, partially offset by e-commerce related fulfillment costs that are now included as distribution expenses.
Distribution. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on distribution for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and had a favorable impact of approximately $2 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. The increase in distribution expenses was primarily due to higher spend in support of both our DTC and wholesale businesses, including costs to transition to third-party distribution centers in Groveport, Ohio and Dorsten, Germany, including costs to run parallel distribution centers in the U.S. as we continue to implement our distribution strategy model to operate a mix of owned and third-party operated distribution centers. This is partially offset by lower costs from Company owned and operated distribution
centers that we are winding down and exiting. Distribution expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 included e-commerce related fulfillment costs of approximately $8.0 million and $19.0 million.
Other. Other expenses include functional administrative and organization costs, information resources, and marketing organization costs. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on other expenses for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 and had a favorable impact of approximately $3 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025. The decrease in other expenses for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring related charges, primarily consulting costs associated with our restructuring initiative, which totaled $7.7 million. During the six-month period ended May 26, 2024, the Company recognized restructuring related charges, primarily consulting costs associated with our restructuring initiative, of $25.4 million.
Restructuring charges, net
During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, we recognized restructuring charges of $6.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively, in connection with Project Fuel consisting primarily of severance and other post-employment benefit charges and asset impairments and contract terminations in connection with closures of distribution centers which were largely offset by a gain on sale of a previously closed distribution center. During the three-month and six-month periods ended May 26, 2024, we recognized restructuring charges, net of $55.1 million and $168.2 million, respectively, in connection with Project Fuel consisting primarily of severance and other post-employment benefit charges.

Levi’s Brands operating income.
•Americas. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact of approximately $3 million and $6 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively. The increases in operating income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 were due to higher revenues, higher gross margins and lower SG&A as a percent of revenue compared to the prior-year periods.
•Europe. Currency translation did not have a significant impact and had an unfavorable impact of approximately $5 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively. Excluding the effects of currency, operating income increased for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 compared with the prior-year period primarily due to higher revenues and lower SG&A as a percent of revenue. Operating income increased during the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 compared with the prior-year period primarily due to higher revenues and gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A.
•Asia. Currency translation did not have a significant impact and had an unfavorable impact of approximately $3 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively. Excluding the effects of currency, operating income decreased for the three-month period ended June 1, 2025 due to an increase in SG&A as a percent of revenues which was partially offset by higher gross margins on flat revenues. Operating income increased for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher revenues and gross margins partially offset by higher SG&A.

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, we recognized restructuring charges of $6.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively, in connection with Project Fuel consisting primarily of severance and other post-employment benefit charges asset impairments and contract terminations in connection with closures of distribution centers which were partially offset by gain on sale of a previously closed distribution center. During the three-month and six-month periods ended May 26, 2024, we recognized restructuring charges of $55.1 million and $168.2 million, respectively, in connection with Project Fuel consisting primarily of severance and post-employment benefit charges.
Corporate. Corporate expenses represent costs that management does not attribute to any of our operating segments. Included in corporate expenses are other corporate staff costs and costs associated with our global inventory sourcing organization, which are reported as a component of consolidated gross margin. Currency translation did not have a significant impact for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025.
The decrease in corporate expenses for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring related charges which totaled $7.7 million, primarily consulting fees in connection with Project Fuel, and lower global sourcing costs. During the six-month period ended May 26, 2024, the Company recognized restructuring-related charges of $25.4 million, primarily consulting fees in connection with Project Fuel.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $11.8 million and $22.7 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively, as compared to $10.3 million and $20.3 million in the prior-year periods.
Our weighted-average interest rate on average borrowings outstanding during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 was 4.28% and 4.26%, respectively, as compared to 4.06% and 3.98% during the comparable periods in 2024.
Other income (expense), net
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, we recorded other income of $6.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as compared to other income of $0.4 million and other expense of $1.9 million in the prior-year periods. The increase in other income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025 was primarily due to the recognition of foreign exchange management gains of $40.9 million and $30.1 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 1, 2025, respectively, compared to gains of $2.9 million and $2.8 million in the prior year periods, partially offset by the recognition of foreign currency transaction losses of $39.6 million and $37.4 million, respectively, compared to transaction losses of $1.4 million and $5.4 million in the prior year.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Our effective income tax rate was 22.3% for the three months ended June 1, 2025, compared to (56.3)% for the same prior-year period. The increase in the effective tax rate in the current quarter is primarily due to a one-time $7.5 million tax benefit related to a favorable resolution of a state audit in the prior year.
Our effective income tax rate was 21.2% for the six months ended June 1, 2025, compared to 1,072.6% for the same prior-year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to a one-time $7.5 million tax benefit related to a favorable resolution of a state audit as a proportion to losses before income taxes in the prior year.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Discontinued operations
Discontinued operations consists of the operations of our Dockers® business. See Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity outlook
We believe we will have adequate liquidity over the next 12 months and in the longer term to operate our business and to meet our cash requirements. Over the long term, we plan to deploy capital across all four of our capital allocation priorities: (1) to reinvest 3.5-4% of our revenue in capital, including high growth investment opportunities and initiatives, to grow our business organically, (2) to return capital to our stockholders in the form of cash dividends, with a dividend payout ratio target of 25-35% of net income, (3) to pursue high return on investment acquisitions, both organic and inorganic, that support our current strategies, and (4) to repurchase shares with the goal of offsetting dilution or opportunistic buybacks or both, while maintaining an adequate public float of our shares. Our aim is to return 55-65% of our Adjusted free cash flow to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. We continue to concentrate our capital investments in new stores, distribution capacity and technology to accelerate the profitable growth of our business. For more information on our calculation of Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Future determinations regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, payout ratio, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our current and future debt agreements and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.
Cash sources
We have historically relied primarily on cash flows from operations, borrowings under credit facilities, issuances of notes and other forms of debt financing. We regularly explore financing and debt reduction alternatives, including new credit agreements, unsecured and secured note issuances, equity financing, equipment and real estate financing, securitizations and asset sales.
Our Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”), in which the borrowing availability is primarily based on the value of our U.S. Levi’s® trademarks and the levels of accounts receivable and inventory in the U.S. and Canada. The maximum availability under the facility is $1.0 billion, of which $950.0 million is available to us for revolving loans in U.S. Dollars and $50.0 million is available to us for revolving loans either in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars. The facility has an accordion feature which, if exercised, can expand the maximum availability to $1.15 billion.
As of June 1, 2025, we did not have any borrowings under the Credit Facility. Unused availability under the facility was $783.3 million, and our total availability of $802.4 million (based on collateral levels as defined by the agreement less outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility) was reduced by $19.1 million from other credit-related instruments. We also had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $653.6 million and short-term investments of $83.1 million resulting in a total liquidity position (unused availability and cash and cash equivalents) of approximately $1.5 billion. Of our $653.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $519.0 million was held by foreign subsidiaries.
Cash uses
Our principal cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, payments of principal and interest on our debt, payments of taxes, contributions to our pension plans and payments for postretirement health benefit plans, payment of taxes resulting from net settlement of shares issued under our equity incentive plans and, if market conditions warrant, occasional investments in, or acquisitions of, business ventures. In addition, we regularly evaluate our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock, all consistent with the terms of our debt agreements.
During the six months ended June 1, 2025, we repurchased 1.6 million shares for $30.0 million, plus broker’s commissions, in the open market. During the second quarter of 2025, there were no shares repurchased.
In July 2025, a cash dividend of $0.14 per share was declared to holders of record of our Class A and Class B common stock at the close of business on July 24, 2025. The cash dividend will be payable on August 8, 2025, for a total quarterly dividend of approximately $55 million.
Cash flows
The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our consolidated statements of cash flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended |
| | June 1,
2025 | | May 26,
2024 |
| | | |
| | (Dollars in millions) |
Cash provided by operating activities | $ | 238.0 | | | $ | 548.8 | |
| Cash used for investing activities | (129.7) | | | (141.4) | |
Cash used for financing activities | (152.4) | | | (162.9) | |
| Cash and cash equivalents at period end | 653.6 | | | 641.4 | |
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $238.0 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025, as compared to $548.8 million for the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by higher spending on inventory, higher annual incentive payments, and SG&A, partially offset by higher collections of receivables. In 2024, we also received $77.9 million as an advance payment associated with the transition of our distribution center to a third-party logistics provider.
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash used for investing activities was $129.7 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025, as compared to $141.4 million for the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in net cash used for investing activities is primarily due to the prior year business acquisition, higher net proceeds from foreign exchange contracts and proceeds from the sale of assets compared to the same period in 2024. The decreases are partially offset by payments to acquire short-term investments in 2025.
Cash flows from financing activities
Cash used for financing activities was $152.4 million for the six-month period ended June 1, 2025, as compared to $162.9 million for the comparable period in 2024. Cash used in 2025 primarily reflects dividend payments of $102.8 million, common stock repurchases of $30.5 million, and tax withholdings on equity awards of $18.5 million. Cash used in 2024 primarily reflects dividend payments of $95.6 million, common stock repurchases of $41.9 million, and tax withholdings on equity awards of $18.4 million.
Indebtedness
The borrower of substantially all of our debt is Levi Strauss & Co., the parent and U.S. operating company. Of our total debt of $1.0 billion as of June 1, 2025, 99.4% was fixed rate debt. As of June 1, 2025, our required aggregate debt principal payments on our unsecured long-term debt were $1.0 billion, with payments starting in 2027. Short-term borrowings of $5.9 million at various foreign subsidiaries are expected to be either paid over the next twelve months or refinanced at the end of their applicable terms.
Our long-term debt agreements contain customary covenants restricting our activities as well as those of our subsidiaries. We were in compliance with all of these covenants as of June 1, 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Margin and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share
In the table below, we define non-GAAP measures. Because the results of our Dockers® business are classified as discontinued operations, those results are not reflected in our non-GAAP measures.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Most comparable GAAP measure | | Non-GAAP measure | | Non-GAAP measure definition |
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses | | Adjusted SG&A | | SG&A expenses excluding goodwill impairment charges, restructuring related charges and other, net and acquisition and integration related charges |
| SG&A margin | | Adjusted SG&A margin | | Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of net revenues |
Net income from continuing operations | | Adjusted EBIT | | Net income from continuing operations excluding income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, other expense, net, goodwill impairment charges, restructuring charges, net, restructuring related charges and other, net and acquisition and integration related charges |
Net income margin from continuing operations | | Adjusted EBIT margin | | Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of net revenues |
Net income from continuing operations | | Adjusted EBITDA | | Adjusted EBIT excluding depreciation and amortization expense |
Net income from continuing operations | | Adjusted net income | | Net income from continuing operations excluding goodwill impairment charges, restructuring charges, net, restructuring related charges and other, net, and acquisition and integration related charges adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments |
Net income margin from continuing operations | | Adjusted net income margin | | Adjusted net income as a percentage of net revenues |
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations | | Adjusted diluted earnings per share | | Adjusted net income per weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding |
We believe Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful to investors because they help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by certain expenses that we include in calculating net income from continuing operations but that can vary from company to company depending on its financing, capital structure and the method by which its assets were acquired, and can also vary significantly from period to period. Our management also uses Adjusted EBIT in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance.
Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted diluted earnings per share have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
•Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;
•Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness, which reduces cash available to us;
•Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin and Adjusted EBITDA exclude other expense, net, which includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on our forward foreign exchange contracts and transaction gains and losses on our foreign exchange balances, although these items affect the amount and timing of cash available to us when these gains and losses are realized;
•all of these non-GAAP financial measures exclude acquisition and integration charges, impairment charges and early terminations and restructuring charges, net and restructuring related charges, severance and other, net which can affect our current and future cash requirements;
•all of these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain other SG&A expense items, which include severance, transaction and deal related costs, including acquisition and integration costs which can affect our current and future cash requirements;
•the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of all of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from all of these non-GAAP financial measures or similarly titled measures;
•Adjusted EBITDA excludes the recurring, non-cash expenses of depreciation of property and equipment and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may need to be replaced in the future; and
•Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted diluted earnings per share do not include all of the effects of income taxes and changes in income taxes reflected in net income from continuing operations.
Because of these limitations, all of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with net income from continuing operations and other operating and financial performance measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The following tables present reconciliations of historic non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP information to the corresponding GAAP measures cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the challenge in quantifying various items including, but not limited to, the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, taxes and any future restructuring, restructuring-related severance and other charges.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow:
Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, includes net cash flow from operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment from continuing and discontinued operations. This measure therefore includes the results of our Dockers® business, which is classified as discontinued operations. We believe Adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available after capital expenditures for operational expenses and investment in our business. We believe Adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet, invest in future growth and return capital to stockholders.
Our use of Adjusted free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP. First, Adjusted free cash flow is not a substitute for net cash flow from operating activities. Second, other companies may calculate Adjusted free cash flow or similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted free cash flow as a tool for comparison. Additionally, the utility of Adjusted free cash flow is further limited as it does not reflect our future contractual commitments and does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Because of these and other limitations, Adjusted free cash flow should be considered along with net cash flow from operating activities and other comparable financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash flow from operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted free cash flow for each of the periods presented.

Organic Net Revenues and Constant-Currency:
We report our net revenues in accordance with GAAP, as well as on an organic net revenues basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our revenues which excludes the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates from the change in reported net revenues, net revenues derived from business acquisitions or divestitures impacting the previous comparable reporting period and the estimated impact of any 53rd week. We report our operating results in accordance with GAAP, as well as on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. These measures exclude the results of our Dockers® business, which is classified as discontinued operations.
The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates we use to translate our operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar into U.S. Dollars. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. In general, our reported financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. Dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. Dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct our business. References to our operating results on a constant-currency basis mean our operating results without the impact of foreign currency translation fluctuations.
We calculate constant-currency amounts by translating local currency amounts in the prior-year period at actual foreign exchange rates for the current period. Our constant-currency results do not eliminate the transaction currency impact, which primarily includes the realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized from the measurement and remeasurement of purchases and sales of products in a currency other than the functional currency.
We believe disclosure of organic net revenues and Adjusted EBIT constant-currency, Adjusted EBIT Margin constant-currency and Adjusted Net Income constant-currency results is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results by increasing the transparency of our underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. However, organic net revenues and constant-currency results are non-GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Organic net revenues and constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Organic net revenues and constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Contingent Obligations
As of June 1, 2025, there had been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual commitments from those disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and expected impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report, including (without limitation) statements under "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contain forward-looking statements. Although we believe that, in making any such statements, our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statement may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected.
These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our anticipated financial performance and business prospects, including debt reduction, currency values and financial impact and foreign exchange counterparty exposures, statements regarding our business strategy and other plans and objectives for our future operations, statements concerning the pending disposition of our global Dockers® business, including the expected timing of completion, statements concerning the impacts of macroeconomic conditions and tariffs, statements relating to the impact of pending legal proceedings, adequate liquidity levels, dividends, share repurchases or other capital deployment initiatives and/or statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "believe", "will", "will be", "will continue", "will likely result", "may", "predicts", "so we can", "when", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "expect", "project", "aim", "could", "plans", "seeks" and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date stated, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if experience or future events make it clear that any expected results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements will not be realized. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations may not prove to be correct or we may not achieve the financial results, savings or other benefits anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which may be beyond our control.
