a.k.a. Brands Reports Q3 2026 Growth Driven by U.S. Sales and TikTok Shop Expansion
a.k.a. Brands (AKA) reported strong third-quarter 2026 results, highlighted by a 9.7% year-over-year increase in net sales to $161.3 million. A significant driver was the U.S. market, which saw 14% growth—the first double-digit expansion since the company's 2025 sourcing transition. The company also noted massive success with Princess Polly on TikTok Shop and in the United Kingdom markets. Despite top-line strength, management issued cautious guidance for the fourth quarter due to rising inbound freight costs and air freight surcharges. While adjusted EBITDA grew 16.6% this quarter, elevated logistics expenses are expected to weigh on future gross margins. Additionally, macroeconomic pressures continue to impact performance in Australia and New Zealand, where sales declined by 6.7%.
