The Dallas-based business booked total revenues of US$1.48bn, representing an increase of 6.2% compared to total revenues of $1.39bn for the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. During this same period, comparable revenues increased 6.7%.

In a statement, Neiman Marcus said its second-quarter results reflect indications that the company’s base business is stabilising and is positioned for growth. It credited the group’s ‘Digital First’ strategy and recent investments in new technologies and marketing tools for the revenue increases seen in the period.

The firm first unveiled plans to roll out a new digital strategy in October of last year, aimed at “furthering its leadership position in the luxury retail space”.
