Company's net income for the year jumped to $844.4 million compared to the net loss of $366.3 million in FY19.
 
“Following on our record third quarter results, the exceptional efforts and execution of our team enabled us to deliver another record performance in the fourth quarter. We experienced consistent strength at Bath & Body Works along with continued significant improvement in performance at Victoria’s Secret,” Andrew Meslow, chief executive officer of L Brands, said in a press release.
 
Gross profit during FY20 rose to $4.6 billion ($4.4 Billion). Operating income increased to $1.5 billion ($258.4 million).
 
In FY20, sales of Bath & Body Works grew 20.1 per cent to $6.4 billion ($5.3 billion). However, Victoria’s Secret sales slipped 27.9 per cent to $5.4 billion ($7.5 billion).
 
“Looking forward, we remain focused on our strategy to deliver compelling merchandise and experiences to our customers while maintaining a safe environment. At the same time, we continue to move ahead in our plans to separate our two businesses. As a result of the collective initiatives underway, the company is well positioned to continue driving value for our shareholders.” Meslow said.
