The lingerie brand reported net sales of $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 4.5 percent compared to the same period the year prior. The drop was in line with expectations that sales would decrease between 4 percent and 8 percent, according to the company.

CEO Martin Waters attributed the decline to “significant global headwinds and a challenging inflationary environment.” The company expects second-quarter sales to either increase or decrease by a low-single-digit percentage compared to the same period in 2021. Victoria’s Secret is experimenting with its business model after spinning off from L Brands last year. It announced a wholesale partnership with Amazon to sell its VS Beauty line earlier this year.
