Revolve Group, Inc.’s (RVLV - Free Report) international business continues to gain momentum, reinforcing its position as an important contributor to the company’s long-term growth strategy. During the first quarter of 2026, international net sales increased 20% year over year to $68.9 million, outpacing domestic growth of 15%. Notably, this marked the 13th consecutive quarter in which international growth outpaced the U.S. business, highlighting the strength of Revolve Group’s expanding global footprint.

The company’s localized merchandising and marketing initiatives are driving stronger customer engagement across key international markets. Management highlighted exceptional momentum in Mexico, where enhanced service levels and a localized marketing strategy helped drive customer growth of more than 80% year over year. This performance demonstrates the effectiveness of tailoring the customer experience to local market preferences while supporting broader international expansion.

International growth also remained resilient despite macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges.

Broad-based double-digit growth across both the REVOLVE and FWRD platforms reflects the company's ability to gain market share internationally.

Management believes that combining physical stores with its digital-first platform will enhance brand awareness, improve omnichannel engagement and support customer acquisition over time.
