Question: Andrew Lopez - TD Cowen - Analyst
: Congrats on the strong quarter. I just want to start with the state of the consumer. Yes, I just want to start with the state of the consumer. What are
you seeing to start in Q4 in general and from competitors, inclusive of any impact of the shortened holiday selling period? And relative to this,
what is driving your outperformance both in terms of product and as a result of your digital marketing initiatives in place?
Question: Andrew Lopez - TD Cowen - Analyst
: (multiple speakers) Go ahead, Leon.
Question: Andrew Lopez - TD Cowen - Analyst
: Okay. Yeah, that answers my question. I guess I just want to maybe follow up in terms of promotional activity that you're maybe seeing in the
market just in terms of any kind of pull forwards?
Question: Andrew Lopez - TD Cowen - Analyst
: No, I mean, that makes sense. And it sounds like your seasonal offerings are more aligned and reducing that need for any kind of promotional
activity. So just on that, how do you feel your inventory and product assortment compared to last year in Q4? And exiting the year, where do you
expect to be on seasonal inventory?
Question: Andrew Lopez - TD Cowen - Analyst
: Okay. And then last one for me is just -- sorry, if you could just provide a little bit more color on the store closures in the quarter? I wasn't sure I was
understanding that.
Question: Andrew Lopez - TD Cowen - Analyst
: Okay. I guess that would be excluded those store closures from the comps. Is that right or --?
Question: Andrew Lopez - TD Cowen - Analyst
: Okay. Perfect. Okay, that's it for me. Thanks to you both, and congrats on the strong quarter, again.
