▪ Net sales of $2.8B, a decrease of 9%, and a comp sales decline of 8.3%, including a high-single
digit % decline in stores, and a mid-single digit % decline in digital channels
Sales were significantly impacted by the calendar shift of the Thanksgiving holiday which included one
less week of holiday sales compared to the prior year period
Adjusting for this calendar shift to include Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday weeks in both periods,
comp sales declined 3.6%, with a decline in store sales of 6.5% and growth in digital sales of 9.4%
Adjusted Gross Margin of 32.3% declined 80 bps vs. adjusted Gross Margin in FY 2018 Q3,
primarily due to a decrease in merchandise margin, driven by a higher level of promotional
activity in the quarter, which was partially offset by a decrease in net direct-to-customer
shipping expense
Adjusted SG&A expense declined $51M, reflecting progress in resetting the cost structure,
including lower payroll and payroll-related expenses and lower occupancy expenses, partially
offset by higher management consulting expenses associated with some strategic initiatives
