- Closing ~20 Yankee Candle stores (~1% of brand sales) in U.S. and Canada, effective January 2026.
- Expected annualized pre-tax cost savings of $110M to $130M once fully implemented.
- Restructuring charges estimated at $75M to $90M, primarily cash severance, most by end of 2026.
- Q4 net/core sales guidance now expected toward lower end of prior range due to slower Latin America recovery.
