On Thursday, January 6, 2022, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Artur Widak | Nurphoto | Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/BBWI\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bath &amp; Body Works Inc.<\/a> stock plunged Thursday after the company reported &#8220;disappointing&#8221; third-quarter earnings and slashed its full-year outlook, citing &#8220;macro consumer pressures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shares sank nearly 25% on Thursday and hit a new 52-week low. The stock has plunged more than 50% this year.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Daniel Heaf announced a turnaround plan for the company, with expectations of $250 million in cost savings by 2027, aimed at attracting younger consumers and recentering the company&#8217;s focus to its core products.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our third quarter results were below expectations, and we are lowering our outlook for the remainder of the year reflecting current business trends and continuation of recent macro consumer pressures,&#8221; Heaf said in a statement. &#8220;While this is disappointing, we are acting swiftly and decisively to position the business for sustainable, long-term growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the company performed in the third quarter, compared with Wall Street&#8217;s estimates, according to a survey of analysts by LSEG:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Earnings per share: <\/strong>35 cents adjusted vs. 39 cents expected<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revenue: <\/strong>$1.59 billion vs. $1.63 billion expected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bath &amp; Body reported net income of $77 million, or 37 cents per share, for the quarter ended Nov. 1 compared with $106 million, or 49 cents a share, last year. Adjusting for one-time items including pretax gains, the company reported earnings of 35 cents a share.<\/p>\n<p>The company also slashed its yearly guidance due to &#8220;current business trends.&#8221; It also expects fourth-quarter revenue to be down in the high single digits compared with Wall Street estimates of an increase of 1.5%. The guidance, pulling on &#8220;recent negative macro consumer sentiment&#8221; and tariff impacts, also revised net sales guidance for the full year to low single digits.<\/p>\n<p>Heaf said the company is reorienting its strategy to focus once again on core products like body care, fragrances and soaps. The plan, called the &#8220;Consumer First Formula,&#8221; includes four strategic priorities: creating disruptive and innovative products, reigniting the brand, winning in the marketplace and operating with speed and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The company had previously toyed with introducing other products like laundry detergent and shampoo, but Heaf said on a call with analysts Thursday that its efforts have not delivered promising results or attracted younger consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Heaf said the company will be exiting certain categories like haircare and men&#8217;s grooming as it refocuses its priorities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the years, consumers have evolved. They seek greater efficacy, ingredient-led products, modern packaging, emotive storytelling and elevated multi-channel experiences,&#8221; Heaf said. &#8220;Our competitors have risen to meet those needs. We have not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Heaf said on the call that the company is also recruiting influencers to &#8220;ignite social buzz&#8221; around the company&#8217;s products in an attempt to garner attention from new consumers. <\/p>\n<p>Bath &amp; Body Works also plans to revamp its app and website to increase engagement and aid in product discovery. The company will also lower its free shipping threshold in early 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sale signs inside the Bath and Body Works store in Edmonton.
