‘The Minnesota Daily’s’ Print Edition Is Gone For Good (mediapost.com)

The Minnesota Daily, a campus publication dating back 120 years, has apparently given up its print edition for good.

The newspaper cut off print in 2020—supposedly on a temporary basis. “To the University community, It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing that the print edition of the Minnesota Daily has been canceled for the summer,” wrote then editor Cleo Krejci in an editorial.

But now it is apparent that the daily has never been restored, and that it won’t be in the future.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Reports First Quarter Results

A summary of results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2022 as compared to the first quarter ended May 1, 2021: *Net sales of $813 million, up 4% as compared to last year. *Gross profit rate of 55.3%, down approximately 810 basis points as compared to last year. The year-over-year decline is driven by approximately $80 million of higher freight costs, partially offset by higher average unit retail on lower promotions. *Operating expense, excluding other operating income, net, was up 5% compared to last year. Approximately half of the increase was due to the lapping of COVID-related rent abatements and payroll credits last year, and the other half due to an increase in marketing and digital fulfillment expenses. Operating expense as a percentage of sales increased to 56.9% from 56.2% last year. *Operating loss of $10 million and $6 million on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively, as compared to operating income of $57 million and $60 million last year, on a reported and adjusted non-GAAP basis, respectively.
