Williams-Sonoma has reiterated its FY22 full-year outlook of annual net revenue growth in the mid-to-high single-digits.

The company said it will not update or reiterate its guidance until FY24 due to ‘macro uncertainty’.

Alber added: “Although the macro backdrop has become more uncertain, we believe our strong positioning, growth initiatives, and culture of financial discipline will allow us to outperform in any environment.”

Earlier this year, Williams-Sonoma reported that its comparable brand revenue for the second quarter (Q2) of FY22 grew by 11.3%.

The retailer’s gross profit for the three months to 1 August was $929m, while its gross margin was 43.5%, 60 basis points (bps) lower than in Q2 2021.
