Abercrombie & Fitch Co (ANF) Earnings: Q2 Fiscal 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended August 1, 2026 and Abercrombie & Fitch published the results on August 26, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q2 fiscal 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Abercrombie & Fitch reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and Adjusted non-GAAP, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Abercrombie & Fitch's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31; fiscal 2026 ends January 30, 2027. Its Q2 fiscal 2026 covered the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2026.
• Q2 fiscal 2026 results include about $100 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, booked as a reduction of cost of sales, which Abercrombie & Fitch puts at $1.75 per diluted share. Its adjusted non-GAAP EPS does not exclude them.
• Year-ago adjusted non-GAAP EPS of $2.32 excludes a favorable payment card interchange fee litigation settlement worth $0.59 per diluted share.

How Abercrombie & Fitch splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q2 fiscal 2026 against Q2 fiscal 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Abercrombie & Fitch's Americas revenue was $1.0 billion in Q2 fiscal 2026, up 5% from $974 million in Q2 fiscal 2025, 81% of total revenue.
• Abercrombie & Fitch's EMEA revenue was $202 million in Q2 fiscal 2026, up 2% from $197 million in Q2 fiscal 2025, 16% of total revenue.
• Abercrombie & Fitch's APAC revenue was $44.2 million in Q2 fiscal 2026, up 19% from $37.2 million in Q2 fiscal 2025, 3% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

• Q2 fiscal 2026 (this page), reported Aug 26, 2026

Abercrombie & Fitch reported Q2 fiscal 2026 net sales of $1,266.7 million, up 5% from $1,208.6 million, with comparable sales flat. It was the company's 15th consecutive quarter of growth. Americas net sales were $1,020.5 million, up 5%, EMEA $202.0 million, up 2%, and APAC $44.2 million, up 19%. (Abercrombie & Fitch Q2 fiscal 2026 release, Aug 26, 2026)

Abercrombie & Fitch sells through two brand families. Abercrombie brands (Abercrombie & Fitch, abercrombie kids and YPB) had net sales of $596.8 million, up 8% with comparable sales up 4%. Hollister (Hollister and Gilly Hicks) had $669.9 million, up 2% with comparable sales down 3%. (Abercrombie & Fitch Q2 fiscal 2026 release, Aug 26, 2026; Abercrombie & Fitch Form 10-K, fiscal 2025, Mar 26, 2026)

Comparable sales differed by region: up 1% in the Americas, down 4% in EMEA and up 13% in APAC, all on a constant currency basis. Net sales in the U.S. were $1.0 billion, against $0.9 billion a year earlier. Abercrombie & Fitch attributes segment sales to the store or region that fulfills the order. (Abercrombie & Fitch Q2 fiscal 2026 release, Aug 26, 2026; Abercrombie & Fitch Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2026, Sep 4, 2026)

As of August 1, 2026, Abercrombie & Fitch operated 846 company-owned stores (315 Abercrombie and 531 Hollister) and franchisees ran 61 more. Its sales are seasonal: the 10-K says its greatest sales activity comes in the Fall season, the third and fourth fiscal quarters, because of back-to-school and holiday.

Abercrombie & Fitch's Q2 fiscal 2026 GAAP diluted EPS was $4.17, against $2.91 a year earlier. About $100 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, booked as a reduction of cost of sales, added $1.75 per diluted share by Abercrombie & Fitch's estimate. Cost of sales fell to 28.9% of net sales from 37.4%, which the 10-Q puts down mainly to a 690 basis point net tariff benefit and higher average unit retail. (Abercrombie & Fitch Q2 fiscal 2026 release, Aug 26, 2026; Abercrombie & Fitch Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2026, Sep 4, 2026)

Abercrombie & Fitch excluded nothing from Q2 fiscal 2026, so adjusted non-GAAP EPS equals GAAP at $4.17. The year-ago adjusted figure of $2.32 excludes $0.59 per share from a favorable payment card interchange fee litigation settlement. Selling expense rose to 35.1% of net sales from 31.1%, about 350 basis points of it from the absence of that settlement benefit. (Abercrombie & Fitch Q2 fiscal 2026 release, Aug 26, 2026; Abercrombie & Fitch Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2026, Sep 4, 2026)

Buybacks cut the share count. Diluted weighted-average shares were 44,051 thousand, against 48,551 thousand a year earlier. Abercrombie & Fitch repurchased 2.0 million shares for about $177 million in the quarter and 3.2 million shares for $282 million year to date, 7% of shares outstanding at the start of the year, with $568 million left on its authorization. (Abercrombie & Fitch Q2 fiscal 2026 release, Aug 26, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Abercrombie & Fitch gives quarterly and full-year outlooks in its release. For fiscal 2026 it raised net sales growth to around 5% from 3% to 5%, operating margin to 14.5% to 15.0% from 12.0% to 12.5%, and net income per diluted share to $13.10 to $13.60 from $10.20 to $11.00. For Q3 fiscal 2026 it guided net sales growth of 5% to 6% and net income per diluted share of $2.90 to $3.20. (Abercrombie & Fitch Q2 fiscal 2026 release, Aug 26, 2026)

The outlook includes estimated IEEPA tariff refunds of $20 million in Q3 and $120 million for the full year, which Abercrombie & Fitch puts at $0.35 and $2.10 per diluted share including interest. It also assumes an effective 10% to 12.5% tariff rate on goods imported into the U.S. for the rest of fiscal 2026, down from 15% in the previous outlook.

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Abercrombie & Fitch, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Abercrombie & Fitch's own release and filings put weight on for Q2 fiscal 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning ANF is on is ANF a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the ANF forecast, and what the company does is on the Abercrombie & Fitch Co (ANF) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Abercrombie & Fitch published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
