“We were pleased with our sales during the November and December holiday season as the customer responded favorably to our merchandise and values,” said Kevin Mansell, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Despite increased shipping costs related to our E-Commerce business, we were able to achieve our gross margin guidance for the quarter. We believe our inventory levels and assortment are well-positioned as we transition into the spring season.”
