Columbia Sportswear Company (COLM) Investigation:
The investigation centers on the accuracy of Columbia’s statements about its financial guidance for, and related operations concerning, its Q3 2020 financial results.
More specifically, during Columbia’s Q2 2020 earnings call on July 30, 2020 management assured investors that “[d]espite supply chain disruptions related to the pandemic that occurred earlier in the year, we expect to deliver the vast majority of our fall order book on time.”
Then, on Oct. 29, 2020, Columbia announced disappointing Q3 2020 financial results that were down substantially in comparison to last year. Management blamed the disappointment in part on a 28% year-over-year decline in wholesale business and said approximately $45 million of fall 2020 shipments shifted into Q4.
This news drove the price of Columbia shares sharply lower the next day.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether Columbia intentionally misled investors about the timing of sales going into its third quarter and the seriousness of any related operational disruptions,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. “We welcome speaking to persons with knowledge of the real reasons for the decline.”
