What is the outlook for the third quarter and full year guidance, especially regarding margins and earnings?

Answer

Based on the excerpt you provided, Wolverine Worldwide’s second‑quarter 2025 results are highlighted, but the release does not contain any specific forward‑looking statements about the third quarter (Q3) or the full‑year 2025 guidance—particularly with respect to margins or earnings per share (EPS).

Below is a concise recap of what the news does say, followed by what is not included, and suggestions on where to obtain the missing guidance.

1. What the news tells us (Q2 2025)

These points indicate that Q2 was a very strong quarter for Wolverine Worldwide, with both top‑line (sales) and bottom‑line (margin, EPS) performance improving sharply versus prior periods.

2. What is missing (Outlook for Q3 2025 & Full‑Year Guidance)

• No explicit Q3 guidance: The press release excerpt does not mention projected revenue, gross margin, operating margin, or EPS for the third quarter.
• No full‑year 2025 guidance: There is no statement of expected FY 2025 total revenue, FY 2025 gross‑margin target, FY 2025 operating‑margin outlook, or FY 2025 earnings‑per‑share range.
• No margin‑specific outlook: While Q2 achieved a “record gross margin,” the release does not say whether the company expects the margin to hold, improve, or decline in Q3 or for the remainder of the year.
• No commentary on cost structure, pricing, or macro‑economic factors that would typically underpin a forward‑looking outlook.

3. How to obtain the missing guidance

1. Read the full press release – The Business Wire article likely contains a “Outlook” or “Guidance” section that follows the results discussion. The excerpt you have stops mid‑quote (“We’re exe…”) and may have been truncated before the guidance portion.
2. Check Wolverine Worldwide’s investor relations site – Companies usually post the complete earnings release, a PowerPoint presentation, and a transcript of the earnings call. The “Management Discussion & Analysis” (MD&A) section of the filing often includes Q3 and full‑year guidance.
3. Listen to the earnings‑call webcast – The call’s Q&A segment often surfaces additional guidance that isn’t in the written release.
4. Review SEC filings (Form 8‑K) – The filing that accompanies the earnings release may contain a “Forward‑Looking Statements” section with any disclosed guidance.

4. Bottom line for your question

• From the information you supplied: There is no explicit outlook for Q3 2025 or the full‑year 2025 regarding margins or earnings.
• To answer your question accurately: You’ll need to locate the complete press release or the accompanying investor‑presentation materials where Wolverine Worldwide would normally disclose its Q3 and FY 2025 guidance.

If you can provide the remainder of the press release (or a link to the full document), I can extract the exact guidance figures and give you a detailed, data‑driven outlook. Otherwise, the only reliable answer is that the current excerpt does not contain the requested forward‑looking information.
