06 September 2023 - 10:30PM
Bed Bath & Beyond, operated by Overstock.com, Inc.
(NASDAQ:OSTK), today shared an update on its 3Q 2023 performance.
“Our U.S. business launched successfully on August 1. Consumers
are showing that they love the new Bed Bath & Beyond,” said
Jonathan Johnson, CEO of the new Bed Bath & Beyond. “Even in a
challenging macro-economic environment, we acquired new customers
and re-activated past customers. Our topline performance is
improving steadily. We have experienced year-over-year order growth
since the U.S. launch, led by orders from new customers. Over the
Labor Day weekend, the first major holiday event under our new
brand, we were successful in attracting customers to the bedding,
bath, and kitchen categories, which recorded strong growth
year-over-year in aggregate, for the comparable period. I thank the
entire team for its dedication and focus over the last few months
as we prepared to revive an iconic consumer brand in the U.S. and
Canada. I remain optimistic about our future and the opportunity to
gain market share under the Bed Bath & Beyond brand.”
