Gap Inc. reported same-store sales rose during the holiday season, reversing a string of declines, amid improvement at its namesake and Old Navy clothing lines, and boosted its earnings guidance for the year.
Comparable sales for the November and December period climbed 2% from a year earlier.
Gap's shares, which have tumbled 12% over the past 12 months through Thursday's close, added back 9.7% after hours to $25.50.
"We're pleased with the improved momentum we saw over the holiday season, driven primarily by a positive customer response at Gap and Old Navy," said Chief Financial Officer Sabrina Simmons.
She said the company now expects full-year adjusted earnings per share to come in modestly above the high end of the previous guidance range of $1.92.
For the December month, the company's comparable sales increased 4% versus a 5% decrease in the year-earlier period. Same-store sales at its Gap and Old Navy brands rose 1% and 12%, respectively, and fell 7% at Banana Republic.
Overall revenue for the five-week period ended Dec. 31 rose 3% to $2.07 billion.
