Bath & Body Works, Inc. is a leading global retailer in personal care and home fragrance, renowned for its innovative products and predominantly U.S.-based supply chain. The company operates over 1,880 locations in the U.S. and Canada, offering a wide range of fragrances and home products.
In its third quarter of 2024, Bath & Body Works reported net sales of $1.6 billion, marking a 3% increase from the previous year, with earnings per diluted share at $0.49, exceeding their previous guidance. The company has subsequently raised its full-year guidance, signaling confidence in their business model and market position.
Key financial highlights include an operating income of $218 million and net income of $106 million for the quarter, although earnings per share dipped slightly compared to last year. Despite these minor decreases, the company’s performance was bolstered by successful product innovations and strategic investments in marketing and technology, which have resonated well with customers.
Looking ahead, Bath & Body Works expects a decline in fourth-quarter sales due to a shifted fiscal calendar, yet maintains a positive outlook by leveraging its agile business model and robust U.S. supply chain. The company’s management remains focused on achieving sustainable, long-term growth amid a challenging retail landscape, particularly as they approach the holiday season.
