BOLINGBROOK, ILL. — Ulta Beauty Inc. (NASDAQ: ULTA) reports that its comparable sales, which includes store sales and e-commerce sales, decreased 8.9 percent in the third quarter on a year-over-year basis. The cosmetics retailer’s third quarter ended Oct. 31. Bolingbrook-based Ulta says the drop is due to the impact of COVID-19.

Net income was $74.8 million compared with $129.7 million for the same period last year. “We know guests are changing how they shop beauty, but importantly, their engagement with the category remains strong,” says Mary Dillon, CEO.
