On June 2nd, L Brands released its monthly performance report for May 2016. the Victoria’s Secret comparable sales and merchandise margin rates for May remained weak on account of the repositioning of the Beauty segment, and the restructurings which are going on for the Victoria’s Secret core segment.  Though comparable sales grew for the Bath & Body Works brand, however the merchandise margins remained dampened for this brand as well. This was mainly due to the weak exchange rate of Canadian dollars with respect to the USD. The company expects the June comparable store sales to be up by low single digits.
