  • Management commentary on demand trends in the second quarter (where reported)—including comparable sales growth, details on consumer demand by category or channel and qualitative insights
  • The strength of e-commerce following temporary store closures
  • Details on the performance of reopened stores, where these have been provided
  • The outlook for demand, as reflected in revenue guidance or more qualitative commentary on the shape or strength of demand—helping to build a picture of a potential US retail recovery in consumer demand
