Management Discussion
- Note: Due to rounding, percentages in this table may not sum to totals.
- Revenue decreased by $70.2 million and $149.2 million, or 17.5% and 17.7% during the three and six months ended January 27, 2024, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended January 28, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a 16.9% decline in active clients from January 28, 2023 to January 27, 2024, which led to a decrease in sales of merchandise.
- Gross margin for the three and six months ended January 27, 2024, increased by 250 and 190 basis points, respectively, compared to the same period last year. For both respective periods, the increase in gross margin was primarily driven by improved product margin and inventory health and transportation leverage as our carrier mix yielded more favorable rates year over year.
