The company’s inventory decreased by 14% during the quarter due to stock clearance efforts, contributing to a drop in gross margin. Kohl’s CEO, Tom Kingsbury, expressed confidence in the company’s performance and strategic efforts despite ongoing macroeconomic pressures and highlighted their focus on targeted discounts and inventory management.
