Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. (No. 238)
Q2 2024: Lulu’s Fashion Lounge recorded that its net revenue fell 13.3% year over year to $92.0 million during its fiscal second quarter that ended June 30.
“Our second-quarter results were in line with the expectations laid out in our preliminary results, reflecting persisting headwinds that carried through the first half of the year from lower sales comps driven by lower markdown sales due to less markdown inventory, overall higher return rates resulting from a slower transition to our new return policy, and softer sales within our casual business,” said Crystal Landsem, CEO of Lulu’s Fashion Lounge.
During the company’s earnings call, Mark Vos, its president and chief information officer, noted that ecommerce earnings will be a priority. He cited “increasing usage of the Lulu’s app and its growing share of overall revenue” and “a healthy growth in app users and improved conversion rates” in Q2 as signs of improvement.
“Additionally, our investment in driving more paid traffic towards Lulu’s app is yielding strong returns,” Vos said. “The website redesign featuring larger and more prominent product images and expanded video use has led to the increased engagement on our website, higher conversion rates and an increase in account registrations.”
Tapestry, Inc. (No. 44)
Q4 2024: Tapestry, Inc., which owns Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman, reported that its net sales decreased 1.8% year over year to $1.6 billion in its fourth quarter of 2024 ended June 29.

“Importantly, through an unwavering focus on powering innovation and consumer connections, we meaningfully advanced our strategic agenda in fiscal year 2024, delivering strong financial results against a dynamic backdrop,” said Joanne Crevoiserat, chief executive officer at Tapestry, Inc. “From this position of strength, we have a bold vision for the future and a steadfast commitment to drive growth and shareholder value for years to come.”
In North America, the company saw a 1% decline in sales for its full fiscal year, though it pointed to a higher operating margin and profit than the year prior.
