MET WITH MGMT. We met with CFO, Robert Ball, and, VP of IR, Mo Gupta, to discuss ANF's current

strategy and outlook. The tone was constructive, with mgmt emphasizing continued discipline

across inventory, pricing, and marketing, while maintaining confidence in the FY outlook.

Growth Framework Remains Balanced. Mgmt noted performance is being driven by a balanced

contribution from traffic, AUR, and units.

Our Take: We view this as important, as ANF’s consistent revenue remains a key pillar of the LT story,

particularly as macro volatility exists.

Americas Strength Offsets EMEA Softness. Growth remains driven by the Americas. APAC

remains under strategic review, with mgmt assessing the optimal model to drive returns.

Our Take: We see international as a clear LT growth opportunity, but execution risk remains elevated. A

more capital-light approach (franchise/licensing) could improve returns and reduce volatility over time,

we think.
