Management Comments
Mary Ellen Coyne
Our second quarter results reflect progress across each of our three strategic priorities – evolving the product assortment, enhancing the customer journey, and advancing the way we work. We delivered sales that exceeded our expectations, with underlying profitability at the high end of our outlook before the benefit of tariff refunds. Our customer file is stabilizing, new-to-brand acquisition is accelerating, and our senior team is in place and executing. While we are still in the early stages of this evolution, we are pleased with our momentum and are strategically investing in the business to position J.Jill for sustainable, long-term growth.
