ASX / NZX / Media announcement

4 September 2025

KMD Brands unveils “Next Level” transformation plan to drive

growth and profitability

T

oday at its 2025 Investor Day, KMD Brands (ASX/NZX: KMD, “KMD Brands”) announces the launch of a

global transformation strategy designed to unlock the full potential of its iconic brand portfolio and deliver

sustainable, profitable growth.

B

rent Scrimshaw, Group CEO and Managing Director KMD Brands said: “Since joining KMD Brands as

Group CEO, I’ve spent time across each of our offices and regions, listening to our teams and retail partners

whilst immersing myself in the business. What I’ve seen is clear: the potential of our brands is far greater

than what we’re delivering today.”


That’s why we’re launching Next Level - a transformation strategy designed to align the Group behind a

brand and product led customer-centric growth agenda. Core to our strategy is a clear integrated

marketplace vision for each of our brands that aligns consumer, product and store format in each

geography.”

N

ext Level will sharpen the Group’s focus on key priorities already underway which include:

•Re-setting for sustainable profitability by addressing operational leverage and unlocking new

pathways to greater returns. This includes a minimum $25m cost reset, which includes a recently

commenced organisational restructure aligned to the new strategy, and a store network portfoli

o

r

eview.

•Re-focusing product innovation to continue to ground our brands in technical performance whilst

investing in speed-to -market, design and style. This includes establishing product ‘Centres of

Excellence’ at Rip Curl headquarters in Torquay, to enhance the output of global product teams and

s

treamline organisational structure.

•Re-energising our store portfolio including new store segmentation to drive relevant consumer

experiences and stronger brand expression for Kathmandu. This includes three Kathmandu concept

stores of the future launching in ANZ later this calendar year.

•Re-imagining digital and data intelligence by bringing in new capabilities to enable the Group to

deliver the long-term goals of Next Level. This includes new tools and initiatives that deepen data-led

dec

ision-making and enhance supply chain excellence. We are also accelerating our ecommerc

e

pl

atform rollout across our brands with investment in more effective digital marketing to reset

international go to market approach.

David Kirk, Chairman of KMD Brands added: “We believe KMD Brands is materially undervalued by the

Market. Over the last 18 months we have deliberately made significant executive team changes to enhance

the core capabilities of the Group. The Board is fully aligned behind the Next Level strategy and is confident

in the Group’s ability to self-fund key initiatives and deliver increasing value for shareholders.”

E

ach Brand CEO will present a refreshed strategic plan for FY26-28, focused on sharpening market

differentiation, reigniting customer engagement, and accelerating revenue growth. These plans are designed

to build stronger brand equity, deepen customer relevance, and unlock new commercial opportunities across

key markets.

T

his marks the beginning of a multi-year transformation, with key milestones already underway. The Group

remains committed to transparent reporting and will continue to update the market regularly as we execute

against our strategic priorities - building a stronger, more agile KMD Brands.
