Duluth Holdings’ quarter-end inventory composition fell 5.9% compared to the prior year’s first quarter.

Direct-to-consumer net sales decreased by 5.1% to $75.4 million primarily driven by a decline in site visits compared to the prior year.

Retail store net sales decreased by 6.8% to $41.2 million due to slower store traffic.

“We took swift action to improve our in-stock position in core items, which improved throughout the quarter and into the second quarter to date,” Sato added.
