Canada Goose revenue surges 40.5% in FY19

In the reported period, the wholesale revenue improved to $399.2 million from $336.2 million. This was driven by higher order values from existing partners. Incremental revenue from Baffin, which was acquired in November 2018, and favourable foreign exchange fluctuations also contributed positively.

DTC revenue increased to $431.3 million from $255.0 million, representing 51.9 per cent of total revenue compared to 43.1 per cent. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental revenue from five new retail stores and one new e-commerce market. This was complemented by strong performances from established e-commerce markets and retail stores.

Gross profit scaled to $516.8 million, a gross margin of 62.2 per cent, compared to $347.6 million, a gross margin of 58.8 per cent. The increase in gross margin was driven by a greater proportion of DTC revenue, and to a lesser degree, incremental gross margin expansion at the respective channel levels.

There was global footprint of 11 directly-operated retail stores and 12 national e-commerce markets increased DTC sales to over half of total revenue at 51.9 per cent.
