Roger Rawlins, Chief Executive Officer of DSW Inc. stated: "We are on track to deliver our outlook for the full year and we've made progress on a number of initiatives to drive sales and improve our financial trajectory. We've positioned fall inventories conservatively to chase the trend of the business and after conducting a comprehensive assessment of DSW's cost structure, we've identified actions, most of which will benefit 2017, with approximately 25 million US dollars in annualized cost savings. We are committed to getting back to sustained earnings growth while planting the seeds for long term success."
