— ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC ACTIONS AT VICTORIA’S SECRET —
The company reported net sales of $1.876 billion for the nine weeks ended April 2, 2016, an increase of 5% compared to sales of $1.787 billion for the nine weeks ended April 4, 2015. Comparable sales for the nine weeks ended April 2, 2016, increased 4%.
The company also announced changes at Victoria’s Secret designed to further focus the brand on its core merchandise categories and streamline operations. These actions include:
“Coming off a record year, now is the best time to make improvements … going from best to even better,” said Wexner. “We are making these changes to accelerate our growth and to strengthen the business for the long term by narrowing our focus and simplifying our operating model. I am certain that these changes are necessary for our industry-leading brands to reach their significant potential … nonetheless, decisions about people are the most difficult ones to make, and we are taking care to support associates who are being affected by these changes.”
Further detail and information about the ongoing impact of these actions will be provided on the company’s first quarter earnings call on May 19.
