By Nicholas G. Miller

 

J.Jill raised its fourth-quarter guidance following what it called a "stronger-than-anticipated finish to the holiday season."

The apparel company now sees fourth-quarter sales down 4% to 6% from the previous year and comparable sales down 6% to 8%. That represents a boost from its prior forecast for sales to be down 5% to 7% and comparable sales to be down 6.5% to 8.5% in the fourth quarter.

It also now expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $5 million to $6 million, up from its prior forecast of $3 million to $5 million.

The guidance includes a tariff cost of $5 million when factoring in vendor-negotiated offsets.

Shares rose 7.3% to $16.05 in premarket trading.
