What To Know: Bed Bath & Beyond expects third-quarter revenue to come in around $1.259 billion, which would be down from $1.878 billion year-over-year. The home furnishings retailer said its softer top-line results are being driven by lower customer traffic and reduced levels of inventory availability, among other factors.

Bed Bath & Beyond anticipates a quarterly net loss of approximately $385.8 million, which includes impairment charges of approximately $100 million. The company reported a net loss of $276.4 million in the comparable quarter.

SG&A expenses are expected to be approximately $583.6 million compared to approximately $698.0 million in the prior year’s quarter.

“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 Sue Gove, president and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond.

“We continue to manage our financial position amidst a changing landscape and work with expert advisors as we consider all paths and strategic alternatives to accomplish our short- and long-term goals,” Gove added.
