The company’s namesake department store brand’s revenue rose +11% year-over-year. At Nordstrom Rack, an off-price division, revenue rose +35% from a year ago.
Digital sales (representing 40% of the business) plunged -12% year over year and rose +20% on a two-year basis. Nordstrom mentioned that its annual Anniversary Sale (which takes place primarily online) was moved entirely into the third quarter last year; however, this year it only fell during one week of the quarter.
