Confirming evidence

Contradictions & invalidation
- • Comparable sales declined 2.4% in Q2, leaving the recovery exposed to weak traffic, promotions or discretionary demand.
- • Debt remains $423.1 million even after the year-over-year reduction, preserving balance-sheet sensitivity.
- • Total comparable sales remained down 2.4%, so profitability improvement has not yet been accompanied by a broad retail-demand recovery.
