• The disappointment that led to a 50%+ crash in the shares pertains to the company’s old department stores, which had a disappointing Q4 after a fantastic Q3.

• Results from four quarters and 97 conversions show that these conversions lift sales by 35%+, so investors shouldn’t really worry that much about the old department stores’ performance.
