Company Guidance
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, Designer Brands Inc. demonstrated strong sequential improvement across several key metrics, which was highlighted during their earnings call. Total sales for the quarter decreased by 3% year-over-year, with comparable sales down 2.4%, marking a 260 basis point improvement from the previous quarter. Gross profit increased by $5.8 million, reflecting a 210 basis point improvement driven by a 100 basis point rise in merchandise margin. Notably, adjusted operating income rose to $46.5 million, surpassing the previous year's figure by nearly $3 million despite the prior year's $9 million incentive accrual reversal. Adjusted earnings per share improved significantly to $0.38 from $0.27 last year.

In the U.S. Retail segment, comparable sales declined by 1.5%, while total sales decreased by 1% year-over-year, showing improvement from the second quarter's 5% decline.
