REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victoria’s Secret & Co. (“VS&Co� or the “Company�) (NYSE: VSCO) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended August 2, 2025.
“I am excited to share that our momentum continued building in the second quarter, once again delivering results that beat our sales and operating income guidance. We delivered comparable sales growth in both Victoria’s Secret and PINK, in North America and across the globe, and in our stores and online channels. These results reflect disciplined execution, the power of the evolving Victoria’s Secret and PINK brands, and early progress on our Path to Potential strategy. The business was strong throughout the quarter and accelerated in July and into August, driven by product innovation, newness and evolved storytelling that is connecting with both existing and new customers,� said VS&Co Chief Executive Officer Hillary Super.
VS&Co Chief Financial and Operating Officer Scott Sekella added, “Importantly, despite tariff headwinds, we drove gross margin rate expansion in the quarter to go along with the sales growth, driven by disciplined inventory management and our evolving promotional approach in the business. Although we recognize that the macro environment remains uncertain, we are excited about the product newness and customer experiences we have planned for the second half of the year.�
Super concluded, “This was our first full quarter under our refreshed leadership team and the impact was clear—sharper execution, reenergized culture and more high-emotion storytelling, delivering significant momentum as we enter the back half of the year. As we look forward, we continue to be optimistic about our future, our opportunity to further differentiate and elevate our brands and making even deeper emotional connections with our customers.�

(In thousands except per share amounts) | ||||||||||||||||||
In addition to our results provided in accordance with GAAP, provided below are non-GAAP financial measures that present operating income, net income attributable to Victoria's Secret & Co. and net income per diluted share attributable to Victoria's Secret & Co. on an adjusted basis, which remove certain non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items that we believe are not indicative of the results of our ongoing operations due to their size and nature. The intangible asset amortization excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is excluded because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. We use adjusted financial information as key performance measures of our results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. These non-GAAP measurements are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Instead, we believe that the presentation of adjusted financial information provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. Further, our definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
