Torrid (NYSE:CURV) reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 sales slightly above its guidance and adjusted EBITDA at the high end of its outlook, while management said ongoing initiatives around store optimization, pricing and marketing are intended to position the plus-size apparel retailer for comparable sales growth in the back half of the year.
Chief Executive Officer Lisa Harper said the company generated net sales of $245.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $17.6 million in the quarter. Total company comparable sales declined 1.7%, but Harper said comparable sales would have increased 1.2% excluding footwear, which remains a planned headwind in the first half as the company restructures that business.
