Company incurred a net loss of $46.7 million compared to income of $84.5 million in Q2 FY19.

“The second quarter had some highs and some lows. The pace of our re-opening sales significantly exceeded our expectations, and we turned our aged spring merchandise very rapidly,” Michael O’Sullivan, CEO at Burlington Stores, said in a press release.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the period were $491.5 million ($531.8 million).

Company in its future outlook suggested that it now expects to open 62 new stores, while relocating or closing 26 stores, for a total of 36 net new stores in FY20.
