a.k.a. Brands Q3 net sales up 9.7% to $161.3 million; net loss widened to $7.7 million
a.k.a. Brands reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $161.3 million, up 9.7% from a year earlier, but its net loss widened to $7.7 million, or $(0.70) per share, from $5.0 million, or $(0.46) per share. The company also cut the low and high ends of its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to $29 million-$30 million from $30 million-$32 million, which matters to shareholders because it lowers management's own profit expectation for the year.
