Multi-Brand Portfolio Diversification

KMD Brands leverages Rip Curl, Kathmandu, and Oboz to cover technical surfwear, outdoor apparel, and hiking footwear, driving a diversified product mix that hit A$1.02bn group revenue in FY2025.

Technical Innovation and Performance Gear

KMD Brands focuses product development on high-performance materials—Rip Curl’s E6 wetsuit tech and Kathmandu’s DWR-treated, Gore-Tex blends—driving 2024 product-margin gains: KMD reported a 6.2% gross margin expansion in FY24 H1 after R&D-led SKU upgrades.

Sustainable Design and Material Circularity

As of late 2025, KMD Brands reports 48% of materials across all three brands are recycled or ethically sourced, up from 22% in 2022, cutting scope 3 input emissions by an estimated 16% year-over-year. Product teams now design for circularity—modular components, repair guides, and take-back programs—raising average product lifespan by 30% and driving a 12% premium in resale channel prices.

Specialized Footwear via Oboz

Oboz, KMD Brands’ outdoor footwear arm, focuses on fit, durability, and trail performance and reported a 2024 category revenue of ~AUD 42m, up 11% YoY, driven by technical hiking models.

By 2025 the line added lifestyle hikers and trail-to-town styles while keeping technical specs—GORE-TEX options, Vibram soles, and enhanced midsole support—preserving rugged performance.

This segment acts as a lower-funnel entry point: 28% of new customers in 2024 bought Oboz first, citing foot-health features and long-term comfort as purchase drivers.
