Oxford Ledge Signal -- extracted from the issuer's own SEC earnings exhibit and normalized by Oxford Ledge. As reported by the issuer per regulatory convention, not re-audited by us; a figure our extractor could not verify is withheld, never shown. A metric is compared only across retailers reporting it on the SAME basis and scope; a blank cell is an honest coverage gap, never a zero, and retailers may report different quarters (see the period range). Every figure in this table is a CHANGE the issuer reported for the period, not a level. Growth rates and levels never share a column or a table -- a change read as a level is a different number entirely. Some retailers report same-store sales, traffic and ticket only by segment, with no company-wide figure. For those, the table shows one segment, labeled with its name, and does not rank it against the company-wide figures. Source: each issuer’s own SEC EDGAR earnings exhibit.
