Sears Holdings reports Q4 profit
Sears Holdings reported a net income of $182 million for the fourth quarter 2017, compared to a net loss of $607 million during the same period a year ago.
The Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based retailer also reported a net loss of $383 for the year, up from a net loss of $2.2 billion in 2016.
Earnings for the fourth quarter included a non-cash tax benefit of approximately $470 million related to tax reform, as well as a non-cash accounting charge of $72 million related to the impairment of the Sears trade name, the company said.
Sears Holdings posted fourth quarter revenues of $4.4 billion, a 28% drop compared with total revenues of $6.1 billion for fourth quarter 2016. More than half of the decline was due to store closings, partially offset by the inclusion of an additional week of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2017, the company reported.
Total comparable store sales declined 15.6% for the fourth quarter with Kmart comps declining 12.2% and Sears stores comps declining 18.1%.
For the full year, Sears Holdings total revenues declined 24% to $16.7 billion from total revenues of $22.1 billion in 2016.
