- Bed Bath & Beyond Inc (NASDAQ:BBBY) said it expects Q3 net sales of $1.259 billion compared to $1.878 billion in the year-ago period. The company attributed lower Q3 sales to lower customer traffic and reduced levels of inventory availability, among other factors.

- “Despite more productive merchandise plans and improved execution, our financial performance was negatively impacted by inventory constraints as we partnered with our suppliers to navigate both micro- and macro- economic challenges,” said CEO Sue Gove.
- BBBY has filed a Notification of Late Filing with the U.S. SEC as it needs additional time to complete its quarter-end close procedure.
- Doubts On Going Concern: BBBY also revealed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations, as well as current cash and liquidity projections.
- Strategic Options: The company continues to consider all strategic alternatives, including obtaining relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
