☆ Levi's CEO says historically hot summer contributed to soft denim sales
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-05 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Levi Strauss CEO Chip Bergh told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday that a historically hot summer affected his company's denim wholesale figures. 2023 saw the hottest summer on record, and Bergh said Levi's wholesale customers have a narrow assortment of the brand's products, so they weren't able to properly adapt to the weather changes. In its Thursday earnings report, Levi's cut its profit outlook for the rest of the year after a steep drop off in wholesale revenues. Bergh said Levi's is "cautiously optimistic" going into the holiday season, but emphasized that a tough economic macro environment has been impacting business. He said Levi's value businesses, largely sold in stores like Walmart and Target, were down this quarter.

July 6 (Reuters) - Levi Strauss & Co (LEVI.N) cut its annual profit forecast on Thursday, in a sign that higher costs were weighing on the denim maker's margins at a time when its wholesale sales remained under pressure in North America. Annual reported net revenue is expected to increase 1.5% to 2.5% from a year earlier, the apparel maker said, narrowing its previous forecast range of 1.5% to 3%. Industry peer American Eagle Outfitters (AEO.N) had also cut its full-year revenue forecast in May amid weak consumer spending environment. San Francisco-based Levi's has been grappling with higher costs, more promotions and supply chain snarls despite multiple price hikes on its products. Its quarterly revenue fell 9.1% to $1.34 billion, roughly in-line with analysts' expectations, according to Refinitiv data.
