Gap Inc. To Close Men’s Performance Brand, Hill City

Gap Inc. announced today the decision to wind down its Hill City brand, prioritizing resources against its larger brands.

Launched in Fall 2018, Hill City was a way to go after the growing men’s active apparel market and operate DTC in a nimble manner. The small but mighty team worked passionately to build a loyal customer base by connecting with wear testers that helped make the best product possible, sharing stories of everyday heroes and athletes, reaching customers with pop-up shops and a mobile truck, and giving back to its community.

Gap Inc. will apply learnings and talent from Hill City across its portfolio. For example, as the athleisure category continues to grow for men, the company can leverage Hill City styles, fits, and innovation into future men’s lines at its other brands, starting with Banana Republic.

“We are living in unprecedented times with unprecedented consequences. I am so proud of the Hill City team and what we accomplished in such a short time,” said Noah Palmer, Head of Hill City. “From all of us at Hill City, and from the deepest parts of our hearts, thank you for being a loyal customer, supporter and friend, and helping us build our dream product and brand.”

Hill City will ramp down and will continue to take customer returns in the months to come. Customers can continue to shop Hill City here.

Wiley Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results

*Research Publishing & Platforms rose 3% as reported and 1% at constant currency, with strong growth in open access and inorganic contributions from acquisitions offsetting anticipated subscription revenue pressure. *Academic & Professional Learning declined 2% as reported and 4% at constant currency mainly due to COVID-19 impact on test prep and in-person corporate training, and a decline in print book revenue, which offset continued growth in digital content and courseware. *Education Services increased 25% as reported and 24% at constant currency, driven by organic revenue growth of 13% from strong online enrollment and new student starts, and the two-month inorganic contribution from mthree (+$8 million). *GAAP EPS of $0.39 declined from $0.63 in the prior year, reflecting restructuring charges of $0.28 per share, primarily related to a previously disclosed reduction in Wiley’s real estate footprint.
