Janet Carr, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “Sales in the third quarter were consistent with the trend we saw in Q2, down about 1%, and although our September sale was strong, our customers are still spending less on discretionary items and our traffic is down. The biggest impact to our overall financial performance compared to last year is the difference in gross margin rate. Last year’s rate was driven by accounting adjustments; this year was in line with our projection, but also reflected increased promotional activity as we respond to weaker consumer demand. The 2.3% increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by inflationary pressures across all expense categories, especially employment costs. Importantly, cash remains strong, up from this time last year even with a significant increase in capital expenditures compared to last year for store relocations, necessary upgrades of store computer equipment, and a new roof on our headquarters facility.”
