Sears explores brand licensing as sales slide and closures mount
Sears Holdings reports a first quarter loss of 4.41 per share and a $471 million bottom line deficit. The retailer seeks alternatives for Kenmore, DieHard and Craftsman to lift growth while closing dozens of stores and expanding Sears Home Services. Lampert cites a promotional retail environment and shifts toward digital and in store integration. Analysts note continued revenue decline from reduced store base despite higher-than-expected total revenue. The company weighs licensing or strategic relationships for its house brands as it expands appliance focus to revitalize profits.
