Specialty athletic retailer Foot Locker Inc (NYSE:FL) shares are trading lower in premarket on Wednesday.

The company reported a fourth-quarter sales decline of 5.8% year-on-year to $2.243 billion, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $2.322 billion.

Comparable store sales increased 2.6% versus last year. Adjusted EPS of $0.86 beat the analyst consensus of $0.72.

The gross margin expanded 300 basis points, led by sequentially improved merchandise margin recapture trends relative to the third quarter of FY24 despite elevated promotions in the marketplace.

Selling, general and administrative expenses fell 6% Y/Y to $501 million. The operating margin was 3.6%, and operating income for the quarter jumped 148% to $82 million.
