Duluth Trading's initiatives to adjust inventory deliveries are yielding positive results.

Duluth Trading Co. anticipates a significant year-over-year decrease in inventory levels by the fiscal year's end, driven by SKU reductions and optimized receipts, as noted in a recent earnings call. The company reported a 17% reduction in inventory for Q3, aiming to cut SKUs by over 20% for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. This focus on inventory management has improved store stock levels and efficiency, with their automated facility shipping more units than last year. Duluth’s strategy emphasizes core products and disciplined inventory practices to enhance cash flow and availability.
