Analysis · VSCO · Trade & Services
Victoria's Secret & Co. reported a 5% increase in net sales for fiscal year 2025, reaching $6.553 billion. However, GAAP operating income decreased by 12.6% to $271 million, and net income attributable to the company declined by 2.4% to $161 million, resulting in a diluted EPS of $1.93, down from $2.05 in the prior year. This decline in profitability was primarily driven by a significant $120 million pre-tax impairment charge related to Adore Me long-lived assets and an estimated $85 million negative impact from tariffs. These headwinds were partially offset by a $69 million pre-tax gain from a credit card interchange fee litigation settlement. The company demonstrated strong liquidity with operating cash flow increasing to $499 million and working capital improving significantly. Strategic initiatives, including a review of DailyLook and amendments to debt facilities, are underway to optimize operations and manage costs.
