Tilly’s, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Operating Results

“Our third quarter performance was better than we expected and we entered the fourth quarter with reduced inventory per square foot compared to last year,” commented Ed Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although our November comparable net sales results were weaker than we expected, we saw an improved relative trend during the Black Friday weekend compared to earlier in the month. We are being cautious in our expectations for the fourth quarter, but believe we have the strategies in place to achieve improved performance in fiscal 2023.”
