- "Despite more productive merchandise plans and improved execution, our financial performance was negatively impacted by inventory constraints as we partnered with our suppliers to navigate both micro- and macro- economic challenges,” said CEO Sue Gove.
- BBBY has filed a Notification of Late Filing with the U.S. SEC as it needs additional time to complete its quarter-end close procedure.
