Foot Locker Reports 2.4% Q2 Revenue Drop
Foot Locker (NYSE:FL), a leading specialty athletic retailer focused on sneakers and sports-inspired apparel, reported its fiscal second quarter 2025 results on August 27, 2025. The key news in the release was a 2.4% decline in revenue compared to the second quarter of 2024, expanding losses per share, and notable strength in its North America banners offset by persistent weakness internationally. The company’s adjusted loss per share of $(0.27) was weaker than the analyst estimate of $0.07. Revenue (GAAP) missed analyst expectations, but profitability and margins slipped compared to the second quarter of 2024. Broadly, the results underscored challenging global retail conditions.
Foot Locker operates as a specialty retailer in the athletic footwear and apparel industry. It oversees a diverse group of store brands including Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS, and atmos. These brands serve different customer groups, ranging from children to dedicated sports and sneaker enthusiasts.
The company’s business leans on both its physical store footprint and its evolving digital presence. Having a strong brand portfolio helps it reach a wide customer base, while its multi-channel approach—giving shoppers the option to buy online, pick up in-store, or shop in person—is seen as key for growth. Foot Locker’s recent focus has centered on refreshing stores, investing in digital platforms, and building loyalty through programs like FLX Rewards.
