Exhibit 99.1

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. announces strong second quarter 2026 results

Q2 comparable brand revenue +6.2%

GAAP operating margin of 22.9%; non-GAAP operating margin of 17.3%

GAAP diluted EPS of $2.84; non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.10

Raises full-year 2026 outlook

San Francisco, CA, August 26, 2026 – Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) today announced operating results for the second quarter ended August 2, 2026 versus the second quarter ended August 3, 2025.

“We delivered a very strong second quarter. In Q2, our comp came in at 6.2%, with total revenue growth of 6.7%, and we drove an operating margin of 17.3% with earnings per share of $2.10. Every brand delivered again in the quarter, driven by strong execution across our brands, our channels, and our team,” said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Alber concluded, “Our strategies continue to gain momentum, and our results reflect the power of our execution. We gained market share, continued to outperform the industry, and raised our annual outlook on both the top and bottom lines. We are delivering compounding results despite the housing market and other macroeconomic events, and we remain confident in our priorities and plans for the remainder of 2026 and beyond.”

SECOND QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

•Comparable brand revenue +6.2%.

•Gross margin of 51.6% on a GAAP basis, +450bps to LY driven by (i) IEEPA tariff refunds, net of tariff-related vendor concessions, of +610bps, (ii) occupancy leverage of +40bps, and (iii) supply chain efficiencies of +30bps, partially offset by (iv) lower merchandise margins of -230bps primarily driven by tariff costs. Occupancy costs of $208 million, +3.3% to LY.

•Gross margin of 45.5% on a non-GAAP basis, -160bps to LY driven by (i) lower merchandise margins of -230bps primarily driven by tariff costs, partially offset by (ii) supply chain efficiencies of +30bps, and (iii) occupancy leverage of +40bps. Occupancy costs of $208 million, +3.3% to LY.

•SG&A rate of 28.7% on a GAAP basis, -50bps to LY driven by (i) employment expense leverage, net of a one-time tariff-related employee recognition cost in the form of a discretionary 401(k) contribution, of -70bps, partially offset by (ii) higher general expenses of +10bps, and (iii) higher advertising expenses of +10bps. SG&A of $563 million, +5.0% to LY on a GAAP basis.

•SG&A rate of 28.2% on a non-GAAP basis, -100bps to LY driven by (i) employment expense leverage of -120bps, partially offset by (ii) higher general expenses of +10bps, and (iii) higher advertising expenses of +10bps. SG&A of $553 million, +3.1% to LY on a non-GAAP basis.

•Operating income of $449 million with an operating margin of 22.9% on a GAAP basis; or $338 million with an operating margin of 17.3% on a non-GAAP basis. +500bps to LY on a GAAP basis and -60bps to LY on a non-GAAP basis.

•GAAP diluted EPS of $2.84 per share, or $2.10 on a non-GAAP basis. +42.0% to LY on a GAAP basis and +5.0% to LY on a non-GAAP basis.

•Merchandise inventories +1.0% to the second quarter LY to $1.45 billion, net of $29.3 million of deferred tariff refund income recorded as a reduction of inventory.

•Maintained strong liquidity position of $1.0 billion in cash and $696 million in operating cash flow, inclusive of the collection of $200.2 million of tariff refunds and the related interest, enabling the company to deliver returns to stockholders of $90 million through dividends.

TARIFF REFUND

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recognized income from the refund of previously paid International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariffs. During the quarter, we recorded (i) a reduction of cost of goods sold of $167.8 million related to refunds received for tariffs that have been previously expensed and (ii) related interest income of $6.3 million. This income was partially offset by (i) a provision of $47.5 million to reimburse certain merchandise vendors that previously provided tariff-related concessions and (ii) a one-time tariff-related employee recognition cost of $10.0 million, in the form of a discretionary 401(k) contribution to all eligible employees. As of August 2, 2026, we deferred $29.3 million of the tariff refund income as a reduction of merchandise inventories, which we anticipate recognizing as a reduction to cost of goods sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Substantially all of our initial refund claim of $197.8 million has been collected as of August 2, 2026, with a remaining tariff refund receivable of $3.2 million. We have adjusted all of these tariff-related items as non-GAAP adjustments. See Exhibit 1 for our GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation.

OUTLOOK

•We are raising our fiscal 2026 guidance to reflect our year-to-date strong performance.

•In fiscal 2026, we now expect annual net revenues in the range of +4.7% to +7.2%, with comps in the range of +4.0% to +6.5%; and an operating margin, on a non-GAAP basis, between 17.8% to 18.2%.

•Our guidance assumes (i) all tariffs currently in place will remain for fiscal 2026, including the Section 232 tariffs, the existing Section 301 tariffs, the new Section 301 tariffs announced on July 23rd, and the latest tariffs between Canada and the United States, (ii) oil prices will remain elevated for the remainder of the year, and (iii) no benefit from tariff refunds or related interest.

•For fiscal 2026, we expect annual interest income of approximately $25 million and an effective tax rate of approximately 26%, both on a non-GAAP basis.

•Over the long term, we continue to expect mid-to-high single-digit annual net revenue growth with an operating margin in the mid-to-high teens.

SEC REGULATION G — NON-GAAP INFORMATION

This press release and our accompanying earnings call include non-GAAP financial measures. Exhibit 1 provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We have not provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis as we cannot do so without unreasonable efforts due to the potential variability and limited visibility of excluded items; these excluded items may include exit costs, reduction-in-force initiatives, impairment, early termination charges and other non-recurring or non-operational income or expenses. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of any such excluded items. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of current period performance on a comparable basis with prior periods. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. In addition, certain other items may be excluded from non-GAAP financial measures when the company believes this provides greater clarity to management and investors. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to the GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and our financial statements and other publicly filed reports. Such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not fully materialize or are proven incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include: our ability to provide products that are designed and built for durability and longevity at competitive prices; changes in and the related impact of U.S. (federal, state and local) and international tax laws, trade policies and regulations; our ability to mitigate current and future tariffs; factors, including but not limited to general economic conditions, inflationary pressures, consumer disposable income, rising fuel prices, recession and fears of recession, unemployment, war and fears of war, adverse weather, availability of consumer credit, conditions in the housing market, elevated interest rates, and consumer confidence in current and future economic conditions that can affect consumer spending; the plans, strategies, initiatives and objectives of management for future operations; our ability to execute strategic priorities and growth initiatives; our beliefs about our competitive advantages and areas of potential future growth in the market; the impact of periods of decreased home purchases; our ability to anticipate consumer preferences and buying trends; factors, including but not limited to fuel costs, labor disputes, union organizing activity, geopolitical instability, and acts of terrorism and war, that can affect the global supply chain; effective inventory management; timely and effective sourcing and delivery of merchandise from our suppliers; our ability to respond to the growing use of and to adopt new technologies, including artificial intelligence; our belief in the reasonableness of the steps taken by us and our suppliers to protect the security and confidentiality of the information we collect; multi-channel and multi-brand complexities; our brands, products, retail and related initiatives, including our ability to introduce new products, product lines, brands and brand extensions, and bring in new customers; challenges associated with our global presence and expansion efforts; our ability to control employment, advertising, occupancy, and other operating costs; payment of dividends; our ability to drive long-term sustainable returns; our capital allocation strategy in fiscal 2026; our planned use of cash in fiscal 2026; projections of earnings, revenues, growth and other financial items; and other risks and uncertainties described more fully in our public announcements, reports to stockholders and other documents filed with or furnished to the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 and all subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We have not filed our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 2, 2026. As a result, all financial results described here should be considered preliminary, and are subject to change to reflect any necessary adjustments or changes in accounting estimates that are identified prior to the time we file the Form 10-Q.

SEC Regulation G – Non-GAAP Information

These tables include non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expense, operating income, operating margin, interest income, earnings before income taxes, income taxes, effective tax rate and diluted EPS. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of our quarterly actual results on a comparable basis with prior periods. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
