Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (NYSE:GOOS, TSX:GOOS) announced today that an arbitrator has awarded financial compensation to a former vendor in connection with a previously announced commercial dispute. The case relates to the termination of a contract in 2021, and the award communicated today has resulted in a one-time financial charge of approximately $30 million USD.
Canada Goose disagrees with the legal basis for this award and is assessing available options.
This judgment is not related to current vendor relationships or ongoing business operations. Canada Goose maintains strong global partnerships with its vendors and this matter is not expected to have any material impact on the company's long-term financial position or strategy.
The company will reflect the charge in its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and reaffirms its focus on disciplined execution, brand growth, and delivering value to shareholders.
