“Turning to Joybird, written sales declined 14% in the quarter versus a year ago as the online furniture market continues to be challenged, consistent with the broader furniture industry,” said Melinda Whittington, the president and CEO of La-Z-Boy, during the company’s earnings call for the period.

“Comparable sales, which include ecommerce net revenues, were down 4.6%, primarily due to decreased online traffic,” said Richard Wait, executive vice president, chief financial officer at Reitmans, during the quarter’s earnings call. “Sales of product through RCL Marketplace, which launched a little over a year ago, did not contribute significantly to the top line as we continued to develop partnerships and curate offerings. Retail store activity accounted for 75.4% of net revenues in Q1, while ecommerce made up the remaining 24.6%.”
