Strong Back-to-School Performance: The key drivers of our third quarter profit delivery included a very strong back-to-school performance with comparable store sales growth across our banners.
Negative
Operating Income Decline: Operating income totaled $24.5 million, a decrease of $3.4 million versus prior year on a GAAP basis and a decrease of $3 million on an adjusted basis as impacted by the lower net sales from the retail calendar shift, partially offset by growth, principally from the Rogan's acquisition and related profit synergies as well as lower SG&A.
Net Sales Decline: Net sales totaled $306.9 million, down $13 million compared to the prior year or 4.1%. This decrease was due to the $20 million retail calendar shift.
Q3 Sales Decline: Total Q3 comps sales were down 4.1%, which reflected weakness in boots that was partially offset by growth in Athletics, driven by strong back-to-school performance.
Boot Sales Decline: Boots in the third quarter, which historically has represented about one-third of our entire winter boots season, were down over 35% in the month of October and over 30% in the third quarter with declines in women's, men's and children's.
Sales Slowdown Impacted by Weather: Sales in September and October slowed due to the impacts of hurricanes on our business and our customers and the persistently warm weather, which resulted in the winter boots shopping season being delayed out of the third quarter.
