Canada Goose’s eCommerce operation continues to grow, with a jump of more than 80 percent in the first quarter of its 2022 fiscal year after a triple-digit leap in the previous three months.
Overall revenue jumped more than 126 percent from the previous year for the company in its homeland for the first quarter, even while facing a higher-than-normal number of retail store closures because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Direct-to-consumer revenue was up 189 percent in mainland China for Q1 over the same time 12 months earlier.
“Canada Goose is off to a great start in the first quarter,” said Canada Goose President and CEO Dani Reiss in the company announcement. “Our digital business continued at a rapid pace of growth globally, alongside improving retail trends.
“With strong momentum in a less disrupted operating environment, and an exciting product pipeline — including our growing apparel business and footwear launch later this fall — we are well positioned for fiscal 2022,” said Reiss.
Canada Goose reported total revenue of $56.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, up from $26.1 million the year before. Direct-to-consumer revenue was up from $10.4 million in fiscal 2021 to $29.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Wholesale revenue jumped from $8.7 million to $25.8 million thanks to fewer COVID-19 disruptions this year than the year before.
