Levi's to spend three-quarters of $80M tariff refund on supply chain and marketing

Levi Strauss & Co. recorded roughly $80 million in tariff refunds last quarter and plans to spend three-quarters of the returned funds on supply chain improvements and other areas of the business, EVP and chief financial and growth officer Harmit Singh said on an Oct. 7 earnings call. A third of the $60 million will go to distribution and logistics, with the rest split equally between marketing and promotional activities, and a small portion went toward inventory clearance ahead of the holidays.
