Destination XL Reports Q2 Earnings with Sequential Sales Improvement but Faces Traffic Challenges
Destination XL Group (DXLG) reported second-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2027, showing sequential improvement in monthly comparable sales despite ongoing traffic challenges. Net sales totaled $111.6 million, a 3.4% decline from the prior-year period, with both physical store and direct business sales down by 4.3% and 1.6%, respectively. The company reported adjusted EBITDA of $7.7 million or 6.9% of sales—up significantly compared to $4.7 million in Q2 2026—and an improved adjusted EPS of $0.05, up from $0.01 a year ago. GAAP net income was $2.0 million driven by a tariff refund and reduced incentive-based accruals. Despite these gains, management highlighted ongoing challenges with store traffic due to economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures. The company also withdrew its recommendation for the FullBeauty merger citing deteriorating financial performance of the target.
