The company, which embarked on a new strategy with the launch of multiple collections throughout the year and a focus on more traditional products, said it expected to see the first positive outcomes in the second half of this year.

First-half revenues, core profits and net income all beat analyst expectations but were all down with respect to the same period in 2017.

Same-store-sales growth was down 2.2 percent, with an improvement compared with the 4.4 percent drop recorded in the first quarter of the year.
