Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE:KSS) today reported results for the
second quarter ended July 29, 2023.
- Net sales decreased 4.8% and comparable sales decreased
5.0%
- Diluted earnings per share of $0.52
- Inventory declined 14%
- Reaffirms full year 2023 financial outlook
- Remains committed to strengthening balance sheet and to
maintaining current dividend
Tom Kingsbury, Kohl’s chief executive officer, said, “Our second
quarter earnings were in line with our expectations. We maintained
strong sales momentum in Sephora at Kohl’s, reduced inventory by
14%, and managed expenses tightly. Further, solid cash flow
generation allowed us to reduce our borrowings in the period.”
“Many of our strategic efforts are just underway, which we
expect will contribute incrementally in the back half of the year,
and even more so in 2024 and beyond. We have enhanced the store
experience and recently opened an additional 200 Sephora at Kohl’s
shops, and are taking steps to further optimize our assortment and
simplify our value strategies. Looking ahead, we are reaffirming
our 2023 guidance and remain confident in our longer-term
opportunity. I want to thank the entire Kohl’s team for their
efforts to support and drive improved Kohl’s performance,”
Kingsbury continued.
