Sears Holdings 2Q results at a glance

THE NUMBERS: Sears Holdings Corp. lost $94 million, or 79 cents per share, for the three month period ended Aug. 1. That’s compares with a profit of $65 million, or 50 cents per share, a year ago. Revenue slid 10 percent to $10.55 billion.

THE SHOPPERS: Same-store sales are an important retail industry metric of sales in stores open at least a year. They’ve fallen every quarter since Sears and Kmart merged, but Sears Chairman Edward Lampert has said the measurement is “vastly overrated.”

INSIDE THE STORES: Lorraine Wollersheim used to regularly buy clothing from Sears’ catalog, but on Thursday, she was only browsing for back-to-school clothes with her granddaughter in suburban Milwaukee

“We’ll still always check Sears when we’re buying appliances, but I haven’t bought clothes from here in years,” she said.
