Levi also said that its women’s business continued to take market share…
“We exceeded our expectations for the third quarter, our total digital business has doubled as a share of total net revenues, and Levi’s remains the global leader in denim, where our women’s business continues to take market share. And the brand has gotten even stronger during the pandemic,” commented Chip Bergh, president and chief executive officer of Levi’s.
In its earnings call, the company’s management said that they anticipate a strong performance heading into the end of the year. However, sales will be down, and that it will stop paying a dividend in Q4, but will aim to resume the payouts in 2021 if its strong performance continues.
Overall, Levi’s sales were down 27% in the third quarter as the coronavirus pandemic forced stores to close, while its earnings per share came in at $0.08 per share against an expected loss of $0.22 per share.
Looking ahead, the company said that ongoing uncertainty from the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the business and they expect that to continue for the rest of the year.
Levi’s shares are up 12.75% premarket at $16.62 per share after Tuesday’s close at $14.74.
