Dive Brief:
As it lapped last year s pandemic closures, J. Jill s first-quarter sales grew about 42% year over year to $129.1 million.
The apparel seller also posted a positive operating profit of $8.7 million, compared to an operating loss of nearly $90 million in 2020.
In a press release, CEO Claire Spofford called out a strong Mother s Day weekend and said that increased full-price sales, strong customer conversion and improved inventory management helped drive an increase in margins, which were up to 68% in Q1 from 55.1% a year ago.
Dive Insight:
The pandemic hit right at the heart of J. Jill s business as consumers, wary of socializing, paused on stocking up their wardrobes. Vaccines, stimulus and a need to refresh those wardrobes after a year of sweatpants for many has improved the lot of apparel sellers generally and J. Jill individually.
There s one bright spot retailers are in a position to benefit from:
E-commerce sales growth has been enormous and is expected to continue. Moody s projected growth of 14% to 15% for e-commerce sales in 2021, even as people are expected to return to stores as the pandemic ebbs.
Here s a list of major retailers for whom 2021 could be a make-or-break year based on USA TODAY research, public data and analyst reports:
