Quality

54

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 54 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Middle

58

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 58 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as middle. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

67

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 67 of 100, recorded as favorable. Stored records show 8 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 1.1% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

From our California Gold Rush beginnings, we have grown into one of the world's largest brand-name apparel companies. A history of responsible business practices, rooted in our core values, has helped us build our brands and engender consumer trust around the world. Under our Levi’s , Dockers , Levi Strauss Signature , Denizen and Beyond Yoga brands, we design, market and sell – directly or through third parties and licensees – products that include jeans, casual and dress pants, activewear, tops, shorts, skirts, dresses, jackets and related accessories for men, women and children around the world. In the first quarter of 2024 we announced the strategic decision to discontinue the Denizen brand. The wind down of the Denizen brand operations was substantially complete as of March 2, 2025. In the second quarter of 2025 we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Dockers business. On July 31, 2025 the Company sold the Dockers intellectual property and operations in the U.S. and Canada. The sale of the remaining Dockers operations is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 and be completed on or around February 27, 2026.

Our Levi's Brands business, which includes the Levi's , Levi Strauss Signature and Denizen brands, is presented in our financial statements under the caption of Levi's Brands and is defined geographically in three reportable segments: Americas, Europe and Asia. The Beyond Yoga business, which is managed separately, does not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments but is presented separately to increase transparency of performance.

Our products are sold in approximately 120 countries. We service our customers through our global infrastructure, developing, sourcing and marketing our products around the world. Although our brands are recognized as authentically "American", we derived over half of our net revenues from outside the United States in fiscal year 2025.

Our products are sold in approximately 50,000 retail locations worldwide, including approximately 3,300 brand-dedicated stores and shop-in-shops. In the United States, chain retailers and department stores have traditionally been the primary distribution channels for our Levi's and Dockers products. Outside the United States, department stores, specialty retailers, franchised or other brand-dedicated stores and shop-in-shops have traditionally been our primary distribution channels. Levi's and Dockers products are also sold through our brand-dedicated company-operated retail stores and through our global digital business, which includes our company-operated e-commerce sites as well as the online businesses of our wholesale customers, including those of traditional wholesalers as well as pure-play (online-only) wholesalers. Beyond Yoga products are sold in the United States primarily through specialty retailers, pure-play wholesalers, brand-dedicated company-operated retail stores and a company-operated brand dedicated e-commerce site. We distribute Levi Strauss Signature and distributed Denizen brand products primarily through mass channel retailers in the Americas, including the e-commerce sites operated by some of our key wholesale customers and other pure-play customers.
