    Comparable store sales, which include e-commerce revenue, increased by 57%.

    Looking ahead, the Group continues to reflect on the efforts it has made to navigate during this extraordinary period, including retaining its balance sheet strength, prioritizing the distribution of capital to areas of business that deliver good cash flow through reducing spending around the company, improving and extending its digital strategy, and strengthening inventory discipline.

    Owing to the uncertainties surrounding the period and the changing effect of COVID-19, the Organization continues to suspend guidance. Still, it plans to report positive comparable revenue and profitability in the Q4 of the fiscal year.

    For fiscal November 2020, comparable-store revenues grew by 16.5 percent, and overall net sales increased by $791.1 million compared to $747.6 million in fiscal November 2019.
