With that, I will turn the call over to Mike. Mike? Mike Egeck: Thanks Caitlin and good afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining us. Please note that we have posted a Q3 2023 earnings deck to the Leslie’s IR site and that we will be referring to certain pages in that deck during our call. As we shared in our pre-release three weeks ago, it was a difficult quarter. Low double-digit traffic declines resulted in a 12% comparable sales decline and a 9% total sales decline. In addition to fixed cost deleverage associated with these sales, we faced unexpected in season product cost increases and higher distribution expenses that significantly impacted gross margins for the quarter. Our ongoing analysis points to three primary drivers of our Q3 traffic and sales results. First is weather. Our weather reporting service, Planalytics, calculated that weather was a 5% year-over-year to sales in the quarter. Weather headwinds were held across most of our store base and most significantly in California, Texas, and Arizona. The weather in Florida was relatively normal in the quarter as it has been all year, and our business in Florida is significantly outperformed in the quarter year-to-date. Sales in Florida were plus high single digits in the quarter and are plus mid-teens year-to-date. The second driver was increased consumer price sensitivity. After three years of significant price inflation, consumers were not willing to absorb price increases during the quarter. This prevented us from taking the pricing actions required to maintain margins as product costs increased and also prevented us from maintaining our pre-June 1st pricing on core chemicals. As we have discussed before, we generally aim to maintain a relative price point that is above mass and just below specialty. That relative price position was out-of-balance for some weeks in third quarter, which we addressed with our June 1st price actions. Those actions resulted in essentially flat year over year chemical pricing despite higher costs. And the third driver was at a portion of our customers, had a greater than normal amount of chemicals left over from last year. This driver was validated by two separate consumer surveys, one conducted on our behalf, and another that was conducted on behalf of one of our chemical partners. This consumer behavior is not something we have seen before and was surprising given the hazardous nature and useful life of these chemicals. Transactions were down 12% in the quarter, reflecting double digit traffic declines that offset solid conversion rates. Average order value increased 3%. The traffic decline was broad based and impacted both non-discretionary and discretionary products For the quarter, non-discretionary sales were down 6% and discretionary sales were down 24%. Total chemical sales for the quarter were down 6% as increases in Cal Hypo and select specialty chemicals partially offset a 16% decrease in Trichlor sales. Equipment sales were down 8% in the quarter, driven primarily by volume. The decrease in discretionary product sales was driven by hot tubs and above ground pools, as macro factors continue impact demand for these highly discretionary high-ticket items. Non-comp sales contributed plus 3% to the quarter, driven by acquisitions and new store builds. The data we analyze suggests that the topline trends we seeing are an industry wide issue. Aggregated credit card data for the pool supplies retail category on slide seven indicates that the industry sales ex-Leslie’s were down 7.1% for the quarter. Based on total company sales, our declines were 220 basis points more than the category for Q3. That said, aggregated credit card data for the pool supplies retail category does not include hot tubs or marketplaces. And when we adjust out those two categories from our sales for a more comparable review, Leslie’s performed slightly better than the industry. We are clearly experiencing a highly unusual pool season following three years of strong growth. However, the long-term fundamental advantages of the pool industry remain the same. New pools continue to be build and the growing installed base of pools need to be maintained. As you can see on slide eight, the industry has a long track record of consistent growth and Leslie’s has consistently grown faster than the industry. We remain the leading direct-to-consumer pool spa retailer with scale, capabilities, and brand awareness that our competitors do not have. So, while our team navigates the current industry headwind, we also remain focused on executing the key strategic initiatives that underpin our competitive advantages and that will continue to drive our long-term success as industry conditions normalize. Turning to our strategic growth initiatives. First, given the traffic challenges in the quarter, our customer filed was down 8% versus the prior year’s quarter. Second, average revenue per customer was down 1% in the quarter, driven primarily by decreases in big ticket items, specifically hot tubs and above ground pools. Our pool purchase loyalty members continue to outperform. Loyalty member sales were down 3% in the quarter. With regard to our PRO initiative, we ended the quarter with more than 3,700 PRO contracts in place and completed the conversion of 15 residential stores to our PRO format prior to the start of the season. We currently operate 98 PRO locations. PRO Consumer Group sales declined 3% in the quarter with comp sales down 13% as our PRO comps were impacted by the same factors as our overall business. In addition, Trichlor pricing has been more pressured on the PRO side as compared to the residential channel and contributed an outsized headwind to our overall gross margin performance. Our guidance for the remainder of the year assumes no change from current pricing levels. M&A and new store growth remain an important initiative for Leslie’s though we will be prudent with the pace of this initiative in the near term as we balance it against our other capital allocation priorities. M&A and new stores drove $16 million to non-comp sales in the quarter. We also completed two acquisitions in the quarter that added five locations in the Sunbelt. Year-to-date, we have closed on five acquisitions that added 12 locations, and we have another acquisition under LOI. In the quarter, we opened seven new stores bringing the year to date total to 12. expansion opportunity available to Leslie’s over the long-term and have identified over 800 opportunities for stored densification. We will continue to address We were pleased to launch the program in May and have been very pleased with the consumer response and demand we have seen to date. All despite nominal marketing. While demand has been strong, we are facing supply chain constraints as we ramp up, and we are working with Our guidance for Q4 assumes no improvement to the topline trends we experienced in Q3. For gross margin, we expect Q4 to have a full quarter impact from the chemical price actions we took on June 1st, which will be partially offset by the winddown of distribution costs associated with our peak inventory levels. We have also aggressively initiated cost management actions that coupled with some weak SG&A comparisons should result in Q4 SG&A being approximately $15 million to $20 million lower versus the prior year quarter. In summary, we continue to have confidence in the long-term outlook for the industry, and we remain focused on prudently executing our strategic initiatives to capture the opportunities in front of us and further our industry leadership. At the same time, we are focused on taking immediate actions to improve our performance. Let me reiterate the actions we are actions. Number one, we have adjusted pricing to reflect current marketing conditions and are now at our relevant historical price position, which is slightly above mass and home improvement and at or slightly below specialty retailers. Number two, we are aggressively managing inventory through receipt reductions. Number three, we are focused on cost management throughout the P&L including the discipline on our marketing investments, utilizing strict ROI criteria. Number four, we continue to evaluate, develop, and elevate our processes and people and number five, we are enhancing consumer insight efforts to further improve our understanding of evolving consumer behavior. Before Steve discusses our results and outlook, I want to acknowledge our CFO transition. I’m very pleased to welcome Scott Bowman as our new CFO, effective August 7th. Scott’s depth and breadth of public company experience spans both financial and operational areas and will be a huge asset as we return the business to growth. I would also like to thank Steve for his leadership and partnership, as well as his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition. I’ll turn it over to Scott to say a few words. Scott Bowman: Thank you, Mike. Leslie’s has carved out an admirable leadership position in an attractive industry and based on my initial observations, I see plenty of areas where I can leverage my experience to help drive Leslie’s strategic priorities. As I continue getting up to speed on the business, I look forward to digging into areas such as supply chain, product margin management, forecasting, and capital allocation to help deliver continuous improvement in the business. It’s an exciting time to join the team as we drive the next chapter of the company’s growth and I look forward to speaking with all of you in the coming weeks months. Now, I’ll turn it over to Steve to share more detail on the Q3 financial results and outlook. Steve Weddell: Good afternoon, everyone and thank you, Mike and Scott. I know I’m leaving the team in good hands and I look forward to ensuring a smooth transition over the next few months. As Mike noted, it was a challenging quarter. While we have seen slow starts to pool season in prior years due to unfavorable weather conditions, historically, performance has improved around Memorial Day. This year, our third quarter performance was impacted by industry-wide headwinds due in part to continued unfavorable weather along with atypical consumer purchasing behavior. For the third quarter, we reported sales of $611 million, a decrease of 9% or $63 million when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Our comparable sales decreased 12% or $79 million. Our comparable sales on a two-year stack basis decreased 4% and on a three-year stack basis grew 15%. Our non-comparable sales totaled $16 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, which was driven by nine completed acquisitions that added 25 stores, as well as 19 net new store openings since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022. With respect to trends by Consumer Group, comparable sales declined 10% for Residential Pool, 13% for PRO Pool and 23% for Residential Hot Tub. On a two-year stack basis, comparable sales declined to 5% for Residential Pool, increased 4% for PRO Pool, and declined to 7% for Residential Hot Tub. While our third quarter sales declines were unprecedented, they were in line with industry trends. Gross profit decreased 17% or $52 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022, and gross margin rate was down 390 basis points to 41.2% from 45.1% in the prior year period. Page 11 of our supplemental deck illustrates our third quarter gross margin rate bridge in more detail. During the quarter, gross margins were impacted by four primary factors. First, incremental distribution expenses including those related to capitalized distribution costs and investments in labor, off-site storage and transportation costs, lowered gross margin by 150 basis points. Approximately 50 basis points of this rate decline was due to deleverage of fixed distribution costs from lower comparable sales. Regarding hired capitalized costs, as we built up inventory in prior periods, we capitalized more distribution costs and during this quarter, recognize some of those costs as we sold through the inventory. We have also continued to invest in our distribution network to ensure it operated smoothly at significantly higher capacities with improved service levels to support better in-stock positions across our businesses. We expect the gross margin headwind from distribution expenses smaller in the fourth quarter. Second, higher product costs had a 140 basis point impact on gross margins in the quarter. While we experienced higher product costs across categories, the largest impact was in our chemicals categories. We initially increased our selling prices chemicals at the start of the season, but we were unable to successfully maintain those higher pricing levels. And as Mike discussed, we reduced prices on June 1st. We expect greater product margin rate pressure in the 4th quarter as we experience a full quarter impact of those price changes. Third, occupancy and other costs deleveraged by 70 basis points predominantly due to the decline in comparable sales. We expect continued rate pressure in the fourth quarter related to occupancy and other costs deleverage given our comparable sales expectations. And finally, business mix impacted gross margins by 30 basis points, primarily due to M&A completed during the last 12 months. We expect a smaller impact on rate from business mix in the fourth quarter. Looking at the numbers in a different way, deleverage of fixed costs impacted gross margin rate by 115 basis points in the quarter, with the remaining 275 basis points of margin compression due to lower product margin, higher distribution costs, and business mix. Now I’ll turn to SG&A. Now, we’ll turn to SG&A. SG&A increased 3% or $4,000,000 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. We continue to focus on managing costs in the business generating cost savings and driving ongoing organizational optimization. During acquired businesses and new stores, investments in our associates and nonrecurring costs, with $6 million like for like expense reductions compared to last year. We have taken additional actions to reduce our SG&A in the fourth quarter and into fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $129 million compared to $183 million in the prior year. Interest expense increased to $18 million during the quarter from $7 million in the prior year, and our effective tax rate increased to 26.1% compared to 25.7% in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $76 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to adjusted net income of $126 million in the prior year. And adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.41 in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $0.68 in the prior year. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were $185 million in both the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022. I’ll turn to year to date results. Total sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 decreased $68 million or 6% to $1.019 billion from $1.087 billion in the prior year. Our comparable sales decreased 11% or $118 million. On a two and three-year stack basis, our comparable sales were flat and up 23%, respectively. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 decreased 15% or $69 million to $388 million from $457 million in the prior year. Gross margin rate decreased by 3.90 basis points to 38.1% from 42.0% in the prior year, of which 140 basis points was due to negative comparable sales growth in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $109 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to $193 million in the prior year. Interest expense increased to $48 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 from $21 million in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $25 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to $112,000,000 in the prior year. And adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.14 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to $0.60 in prior year. Moving to the balance sheet, we finished the third quarter of fiscal 2023 with cash of $19 million and we had $31 million outstanding on our ABL. This compares to cash of $193 million and no amounts outstanding on our ABL at the end of third quarter of fiscal 2022. The reduction in net cash was primarily due to investments in inventory and higher M&A activity during the past 12 months. Currently, we do not have any amount outstanding on our ABL and we have availability of approximately $240 million. We ended the third quarter of fiscal 2023 with $437 million of inventory, an increase of $75 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and a sequential decrease of $56 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in inventory compared to the prior year period was primarily related to core sanitizers. Consistent with our commentary last quarter, inventory levels have peaked and we continue to look for opportunities to further reduce our inventory. During the third quarter and so far in the fourth quarter, we have, and we will continue to aggressively manage purchase orders and receipts. We expect to end fiscal 2023 with less inventory than we had at the end of fiscal 2022. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we had $792 million outstanding on our secured term loan facility compared to $800 million at the end of the prior year period. The applicable rate on our term loan increased LIBOR plus 275 basis points in the our third quarter and our effective interest rate was 7.6% compared to an effective interest rate of 3% in the prior year. In June 2023, we amended our term loan credit agreement to replace the existing LIBOR-based rate with a term SOFR-based rate as an interest rate benchmark. Other material terms of the facility remain substantially unchanged, including the maturity date of March 2028. Our ABL and term loan agreements do not have quarterly financial maintenance covenants. Our outlook remains unchanged from the revised outlook we shared on July 13th, the details of which are in today’s earnings press release. As we only have one more quarter left in the fiscal year, I will be discussing each metric in the context of our implied fourth quarter outlook. Our fourth quarter outlook assumes a sales decline in the range of 9% to 14% with comparable sales declines of 12% to 16%. Our outlook also assumes a gross margin range of 39.1% to 39.7% compared to 45. 7% the prior year period. In the fourth quarter, we expect additional rate pressure from product costs, continued impact from occupancy cost deleverage, a lower impact from distribution costs and business mix compared to what we experienced in the third quarter. We expect fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA to be in the $61 million to $71 million range, and adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the $0.14 to $0.18 range. Our outlook for the fourth quarter includes interest expense of $17 million, and our diluted weighted average shares outstanding does not assume any incremental share repurchases. On capital allocation, our prioritization has not changed. Our first priority is and has been our capital structure. We are targeting a leverage ratio of approximately three turns. Our second priority is to invest in growth, both organically and through M&A. In the first nine months of fiscal 2023, we invested $27 million in capital expenditures, and we deployed $16 million towards acquisition. Mike noted we will continue to be prudent in our pursuit of M&A opportunities. Our focus remains on acquiring pool supply retailers in the Sunbelt and we will be disciplined around acquiring high-quality businesses at attractive purchase multiples. Our final priority is to return excess cash to shareholders. While we do not expect to repurchase shares in the near-term under our existing authorization as we focus on our other priorities, we will continue to evaluate opportunities to repurchase shares based on available investment opportunities, our financial position, and market conditions. And with that, I will hand it over to Mike. Thank you. Mike Egeck: Thank you, Steve. Despite the challenging headwinds we are navigating in this highly unusual pool season, the aftermarket pool and spa industry has proven over time to be one of the most durable and advantaged consumer products categories, and we have a long track record of profitable growth in the industry. We remain laser-focused on the execution of our long-term growth initiatives, market share gains, and shareholder returns. With that, I will hand it back to the operator for Q&A.

Operator: Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from Simeon Gutman with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. Simeon Gutman: Good afternoon everyone My first question, Mike, you mentioned some market share from credit card data. Thanks for that. We don’t see that data. So, you adjusted your price, you said price is June 1st and so my first question related to that is your product costs are much higher. You try — you’ve taken price down because you weren’t getting the sell-through. Does that mean that a lot of the industry is just accepting a much lower margin for selling product or chemicals? And then related to it is if you were holding or growing share even in that scenario, which maybe you can parse out, then why even take down the price? Mike Egeck: Yes, Simeon, thanks for the questions and good questions. First, on the margins, as we’re active in M&A with specialty retailers, we do see that we operate at higher margins than they do. And we can back that in pretty specifically to product cost and feel comfortable that we still have a cost advantage versus specialty retail. Though we do need to say that, that gap has narrowed from 2021 and 2022 when we had some, I would say, extraordinary advantaged prices on some core chemicals. With regards to market share, we look at market share in a couple of ways. The aggregated credit card data we use is Bank of America. As you can see on the slide, that shows we were basically flat to the industry in the quarter. We also listened very carefully to our pool peers and the largest distributor in the industry showed sell-in to their pool specialty retail at minus 11%. So, also a flat comparison to, I would say, a flat growth rate and flat market share based on that comparison. Now, look, that’s a deceleration from the market share gains we’ve had consistently for the last eight quarters, so we’re not pleased with that. But that’s the situation we are in for the quarter. Simeon Gutman: And then a quick follow-up on margin. Pre-COVID, we had a couple of years of, I guess, pre-COVID history. It looks like our model is a 13% EBIT margin and now you have $500 million and more in sales. So, I know this is — you’ve had a deceleration, and it’s hard to commit to where the clearing margin of this business is. I assume its higher, at least 13% on the sales base, but is there any reason why it shouldn’t be? Or is there any reason it should be even higher than that 13%? Mike Egeck: Well, look, I think we it’s early to talk about 2024. But in terms of where we were pre-pandemic with our gross margins and our operating margins, we feel that the headwinds we’ve got this year and particularly in this quarter, do abate and feel like we’ve got a pretty clear path to recover to those levels, at least those levels. Simeon Gutman: Right. okay. Thank you. Operator: Our next question comes from Steven Forbes with Guggenheim Securities. Please go ahead. Steven Forbes: Good evening, Mike, Steve, Scott. I wanted to maybe expand on Simeon’s question, but in particular, focus on the customer file dynamic. So, Mike, maybe you could just expand on your learnings from the quarter as it pertains to the customer file down 8%. And specifically looking for any insight into what’s really driving the reduction. Is the consumer is migrating back to maybe its legacy provider or outlets? Is it marketplace disruption? Is it mass? And on that also, when should we expect Leslie’s to return to positive file growth? Mike Egeck: Yes, Steven, thanks for the question. I think the way we’re thinking about the file or the lack of file growth, the file shrinking 8%, has a lot to do with the two surveys that we ran, which showed a larger-than-normal amount of product left over in the industry in the consumers’ hands. We’ve turned in calling it the garage and shed inventory internally. And one of those surveys we conducted on our own through a third-party, and one after we prelease, we were contacted by one of our chemical partners who had run a similar survey of a similar size and come up with remarkably similar results. So, we have some idea of what that size is now. And though they came at the number in different ways, again, the final impact in terms of a headwind is quite similar. So, there’s definitely some of that going on. And when you think about need-based industry, right, that’s predominantly nondiscretionary spend. The question is, well, how can nondiscretionary spend be down, and nondiscretionary spend for the quarter was down 6%. While it’s only down if need is impacted, and two things impacted need in the quarter. The first was weather. It’s coldest weather in a decade according to Planalytics. Coldest weather in 19 years in June, the start of the pool season from Weather Trends International. So colder weather means less need for sanitizers, means less people needing to come in and purchase, and that impacts our file because our file is active members. And then when you look at the surveys that were conducted and found left over inventory, which is, first of all, highly unusual, I’m going to say unprecedented in our experience, that also decreases the need to purchase. We’ve got some — we’ve got some feedback from our stores. They were hearing that from customers as they were coming in, particularly with regards to our water tests. Even in a down quarter, we ran more water tests than the prior year’s period but the conversion of those tests was lower. And what we were hearing from the stores when we questioned it was that they were hearing that people already had those chemicals. So, it’s a highly unusual situation when we think of what the duration might be. I will say that both of those surveys, there was no mention from consumers in their self-reporting that they had supplies that would last past the season. So, we believe this is a one-season occurrence based on three years of highly unstable supply and price inflation, leading people to stockpile. Now, the truth is we won’t be able to know that for sure. Our way to size that will be with additional consumer surveys. We’ll do them at the end of this season, and we’ll do them before the start of next season. And that will be our way of confirming that what we believe, which is that extra inventory out of the consumers’ hands by next pool season. Steve Weddell: And I’ll add on as well, you answered the question with regard to non-discretionary items, given the discretionary decline as well, had a material impact on overall traffic. So, that’s another contributor if you get outside of the nondiscretionary product and look at the total decline in the customer count. Mike Egeck: Yes, that’s a good point. Steven Forbes: Thanks Steve. Maybe just a quick follow-up on PRO, right, sort of a similar question, down 3%. But as we think about the growth in PRO stores and we think about the growth in PRO partner contracts on a year-over-year basis, anything specifically to note that helps explain what’s transpiring within the PRO segment? Is that just chemical mix or are you seeing some — are you seeing less engagement from your affiliate contracts? Any color on the PRO segment would be helpful. Mike Egeck: Well, I would say the PRO business has become more competitive. And some others have reported. We have seen Trichlor deflation in that category, and that was a pretty significant headwind to the PRO business in the quarter and year-to-date. Steven Forbes: Thank you. Operator: Our next question comes from Ryan Merkel with William Blair. Please go ahead. Ryan Merkel: Thanks. Good afternoon. Mike, I was hoping you could address the risk that chemical prices keep falling. And have you seen competitors cut prices when you cut in June? Mike Egeck: Yes, Ryan, thanks for the question. Yes, I think it’s important to understand that the price actions we took on 6/1 were to get ourselves level with specialty retail. And since we’ve done that, we haven’t seen any reaction from specialty retail to take prices lower, list prices. And in addition, we haven’t seen any outsized promotional activity in the business. So, right now, it looks like we have a stable pricing situation and a stable promotional environment in the residential pool space. Ryan Merkel: Okay. That’s good to hear. And then my follow-up, do you have any goals for inventory reduction, cost savings and COGS, cost savings and SG&A that you can share with us? Mike Egeck: Yes, we’re not sharing any specific inventory goals at this moment. As we said, as Steve said in his script, we will be lower than we were last year. We’re obviously working to work that number down as low as we can, but we haven’t — we’re not going to comment on what our internal targets are. With regards to SG&A , as we talked about SG&A in my comments in the script, we look to be $15 million to $20 million lower in Q4 this year versus the prior year, also working diligently on reducing cost run rate as we go into 2024. And we think we have a pretty good path there as well. Obviously, the inventory buildup and the associated costs with that offsite storage additional labor, increased transportation. Those costs are in our margin. Those also were flexed up given a rather extraordinary inventory levels we took to ensure supply and we’re unwinding those now. It will start in the fourth quarter and should be completed by the end of the year. Ryan Merkel: That’s helpful. Best of luck. Mike Egeck: Thanks. Operator: Our next question comes from Dana Telsey with Telsey Advisory Group. Please go ahead. Dana Telsey: Hi, good afternoon everyone. As you think about the sales decline of around 9% this quarter and you think about the cadence going through as we go into the next fiscal year, are there any puts and takes of how you’re planning the business and how you’re thinking about whether it’s traffic, whether it’s i.e., transaction or discretionary, nondiscretionary? How you plan to market it or how you’re reassorting the stores in order to minimize gross margin erosion and working to drive demand and seeing demand? Thank you. Mike Egeck: Yes, Dana, thanks for the question. Look, we start out each year planning weather to be normal. This year was clearly an aberration of that. We do believe that weather should be at least neutral in a comparable basis, should be a bit of a tailwind going in next year. The same with consumer inventory. That gets worked through the channel. That should be a tailwind for us as well. The headwinds into next year in terms of sales is — we got a little out of our normal lane in terms of pricing going into the quarter. We’re a little bit above especially retail. We’ve done that in the past and had those prices come up. We’ve been able to move up in price and have others follow. That didn’t happen this year, so I think that’s a good learning from us and we will keep our historical price position just below or equal to specially and just above mass. And then as we think about additional puts and takes in the next year, in a need-based industry, the way we think about marketing is it doesn’t drive need. Need comes from the install base. It does drive market share gains. The challenge we’ve had with marketing this year is with the headwinds of weather and some excess inventory in the consumer channel, we weren’t getting our typical ROI on marketing spend and therefore haven’t been as aggressive. We would expect that to normalize next year and then our ability to market at a high spend marketing, invest in marketing, sorry, at a high ROI should drive should get us back on track with market share gains. Dana Telsey: Got it. And then just as you finished out this quarter, was there any change in the quarterly progression or the cadence of the quarter? Mike Egeck: June was very tough in Q3 for us. I quoted that it was the toughest quarter overall in terms of weather from Planet Olympics in a decade. And Weather Trends International had it as the coldest June in 19 years. So we came into the season as we always do, waiting to see what kind of reaction we get over the Memorial Day weekend. And it was very disappointing just to see no lift in the business. And that’s when we started both surveying customers as well as speaking more directly to our district managers and store owners about what was going on and started to take the price actions that we did on 6-1. So it was a challenging traffic situation for the entirety of the quarter. Dana Telsey: Got it. Thank you. Operator: Our next question comes from Elizabeth Suzuki with Bank of America. Please go ahead. Elizabeth Suzuki: Great. Thank you very much. So, I guess you mentioned you’re seeing some of the same factors impacting the PRO business as the retail business. I mean, does that include the pantry loading behavior of folks using chemicals they stored up from last year? I mean, are pros doing that, too? And then, is there anything you can do to educate the customer about issues that they might experience if they’re using expired chemicals? Mike Egeck: Yes, Liz, thanks. Good questions. We did not see that behavior on the pro side. Now our survey was just to residential consumers, but I don’t believe we’re seeing that on the pro side. I think the pros went into the season believing that Trichlor pricing should come down, and they were correct. I think residential consumers came out of last year wondering where price and where availability would be and ended up stockpiling based on the prior two years that they had experienced. Was there a second part to your question? Sorry. Elizabeth Suzuki: Oh, no, just about educating the customer about what could happen if they’re using these older chemicals and if there’s anything from a marketing standpoint you can do to kind of get that message across? Mike Egeck: Yes, very good point. And yes, we’re doing that in our blogs and that’s why this is so unprecedented. It’s not, these are not chemicals you want to store. And look, it’s predominantly Trichlor and Cal Hypo. And Trichlor loses its efficacy if not stored properly and will lose it, within a year depending on temperature and ventilation. And Cal Hypo is a little more dramatic because the granular turns to solid and it also has combustible properties. So not something that consumers should be storing and not something we’ve seen them store in the past. Elizabeth Suzuki: Great. Thank you. Operator: Our next question comes from Garik Shmois with Loop Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Garik Shmois: Hi. Thanks. You touched on the SG&A reductions that you’re expecting in the fourth quarter, $15 million in lower costs compared to the prior year period. I’m just wondering if you could provide maybe some more color on the steps that you’re taking and how you’re viewing SG&A at this point as we’re moving closer into fiscal 2024. Steve Weddell: Yes, Garik, good question. We’re, look, the way we’re thinking about SG&A is we’re going to reduce it both in Q4 and in our run rate into 2024 to help make our P&L more durable against some of the shocks that we experienced this quarter. And in terms specifically of SG&A areas we are addressing in the fourth quarter into next year, I can tell you overall it is up and down the P&L. I spoke a little bit earlier about marketing. Marketing comes down naturally when we can’t get the ROI that we expect on our investments. Marketing has come down in Q3 and Q4 and for the year, but we would expect that to recover in the next year when the consumer inventory is absent. With traffic being down as much as it has, driven by weather and consumer inventory, we’ve taken out labor hours in the stores accordingly. In terms of just being more efficient, we are de-layering our corporate organization, more efficiency, more optimization, and then little things like travel, supplies, all-out push across those categories. And then finally, a big chunk of it is performance compensation. This is not a year where we will be paying ourselves or our associates. Garik Shmois: Understood. I wanted to follow-up on inorganic growth. Does the challenging environment right now change your view on either M&A or new store expansion? Mike Egeck: No it doesn’t because we think weather over time tends to normalize and if consumers have inventory in their garages and sheds as it appears they do that’s a very unusual inventory or very unusual situation and the catalyst for it which is three years of spotty availability and increasing price, that catalyst is gone. Inventory is readily available, and it’s readily available across all sizes. So we would expect that to be transitory as well. And the challenges that we’re facing in the quarter and this year, so is specialty retail. I think you can see that in some of the distributors’ results. So, it actually makes M&A more attractive in terms of the multiples that we’re able to execute against. But given the results in this quarter and our outlook for the year, as we said in our prepared remarks, we’re going to be prudent about it and we’re going to watch the pace of M&A, but we still think it’s an important initiative for Leslie’s over the long-term. Garik Shmois: Okay, understood. Thanks again. Operator: Our next question comes from Jonathan Matuszewski with Jefferies. Please go ahead. Jonathan Matuszewski: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions. The first one was on pricing actions. Mike, I think you mentioned the guidance assumes no change in pricing. Is there anything that would lead you to deviate from current pricing? I guess another way of asking, if traffic or transactions is softer, would you further reduce pricing to try and stem the excess transaction decline? Thanks. Mike Egeck: Yes, when I said no change in current pricing in the prepared remarks, that was specifically for Pro, where we have seen some Trichlor pricing come down. Offset a little bit by Cal Hypo which is up. In terms of residential, I think currently we view the demand in the industry at this moment as fairly inelastic. Now when we think about what’s driving the traffic declines, and the traffic declines we don’t think are being driven by price sensitivity, they’re being driven by weather and consumer inventory, which we believe are transitory, so we need to we need to wait those out. The price actions we took was because we had gotten, as I mentioned, above specialty retail and that’s not a position that our consumers are used to seeing us in and not one that we want to be in. So, we took our actions on 6-1, we lined up with the industry, we are where we want to be from a price standpoint, and now we need to let this year play out, the weather normalize, consumer inventory normalize, and we should be back to our regular cadence of growth. Jonathan Matuszewski: Got it. That’s helpful. And then just my follow-up, it sounds like the customer insights work picked up on some price sensitivity. Curious to what extent you think equipment upgrades and related spend that didn’t materialize in the second half of this year could potentially benefit revenue next year? Thanks. Mike Egeck : Yes. It’s also a good question. Just the general macroeconomic situation, year of customer price sensitivity across industries. In the survey that we did, and the one that we had access to, it was also mentioned very specifically by customers. And I just think that, look, I think the entire industry took an awful lot of price over the last three years. And there is still cost pressures. So there’s some opportunity to take price, but I think the industry has got to be very mindful and thoughtful about how much price we take, because we certainly don’t want to create any demand destruction. I think when you look at the equipment business, we reported ours was down 8%, I think Poolcorp reported theirs was down 8% as well. That’s predominantly volume at the moment. And I think the read on that is that, yes, people with a certain heightened sense of price sensitivity might be delaying some upgraded purchases, but certainly the break-fix business, that is durable and continuing on. Jonathan Matuszewski: Best of luck. Mike Egeck : Thanks. Operator: Our next question comes from Andrew Carter with Stifel. Please go ahead. Andrew Carter: Yes. Hey, thank you. So a couple questions I wanted to ask are really about visibility into the business. First is in terms of pricing, like getting out over your skis relative to specialty retail. I mean, how good are your real-time insights into kind of your price levels? I know you do channel checks, but is, can a DIYer know that they get listened to if they say, hey, it’s cheaper down the street, and second to that, how quickly do you respond to feedback? And then just a second kind of point, putting all the consumer work, survey work aside, have you looked at considering how many pounds of chemicals went out the door from various locations over the last four years, and what a reversion to the mean would look like considering market share gains, just to kind of give you a sense of where you could land? Thanks. Mike Egeck : Yes, thanks, Andrew. So, a few questions in there. I’ll talk about price visibility first and how we think about price. We — in 2021 and 22, we were able to influence pricing in the residential market. We came into the pre-season, I would say April, May period, kind of pushing price, taking price, and had the market follow us. When we went in this year, our pricing coming into the quarter and into the year was our Q4 pricing. So our intent was to hold that pricing for the balance of this year. We knew prior to Memorial Day that our pricing was a little buff. specialty, we thought specialty might come up and meet us. They did not. And it was after that on 6-1 that we took our price actions. And we have good visibility into pricing. I mean, we understood what that dynamic was. We thought we’d be able to move price up, and we weren’t able to. We use a combination of web scraping, and with over a thousand stores, and store managers, and DMs out there, we have a fairly fulsome ability to track our mom-and-pop competitors as well. And then I think on the last question about the pounds analysis, we are looking at that. I think the surveys we did were not specific to Leslie’s. We think that’s an important component of how we think about the headwind we created for this year, because our growth, as you know, is a combination of crop growth and a typical year, but also market share gains, and both become more difficult when there is excess inventory in the channel. Andrew Carter: I’ll go ahead and pass it on since I asked to. Thanks. Operator: Our next question comes from Peter Benedict with Robert W. Baird. Please go ahead. Justin Kleber : Yes, good afternoon, guys. It’s Justin Kleber on for Pete. Mike, I just wanted to ask, I imagine you’re having discussions today with your vendors regarding the 2024 policies. I’m just curious, what does the costing backdrop look like sitting here today, particularly on these non-discretionary products? Do you think product costs are still going to move higher next year? Just trying to understand, this product margin pressure, could it linger if you in the industry just can’t pass through any more price that’s my first question? Mike Egeck : Yes, I appreciate the question. It’s too early for us to talk about that we have not really started price discussions with our vendors yet. Typically that takes place 30 to 60 days from now. I think it’s important for both sides to understand kind of how the season wraps up a little further through our Q4 and their Q3 and then we will sit down and talk about the dynamics that we see. There’s certainly some cost pressure, but I think there’s also after three years of consumers absorbing a lot of inflation, there’s definitely some more price sensitivity from customers. I mean, we have 85,000 consumers a day coming through our doors and our stores. We are ears to the ground, I would say, the first line on hearing from consumers. And I think the message has been pretty clear that, their appetite for continuous price increases is a little more nuanced than it has been in the past. Justin Kleber : Got it. Okay. Now that makes sense. And then an unrelated follow-up on leverage, Steve mentioned the three times target. Just in terms of the path to get there, is that more about natural deleverage as EBITDA recovers and starts to grow again, or are you foregoing some store growth and M&A opportunities in the near term and deploying capital into debt pay down? Steve Weddell : Yes, thanks for the question, Justin. I think there’s a couple different ways to think about it. We would expect to reduce leverage by a combination of growth in the business, so just naturally, and potentially allocate some cash towards debt pay down. If you think about cash flow for this year, it’s been impacted by working capital primarily. If you look at our CapEx, it’s kind of in line with how we talked about it. We talked about kind of a 3% of total sales. I might come in a little shy of that this year. From an M&A perspective, certainly slower pace this year from a dollar’s perspective, but continue to do attractive deals and acquire businesses at great multiples. Expect that to continue through Q4 as well at a modest clip. And so when it comes down to 2023, think about the cadence for working capital last year. We were buying a lot of inventory late in the season, led to accounts payable and other accrued expenses that ended up getting paid off in the first quarter of 2023. At this point, we’ve talked about bringing inventory down pretty aggressively into year-end, but as a result, we’ll have lower accounts payable and certainly some accrueds from performance incentives. So, don’t expect a big cash flow year in 2023, but do see opportunity for improvement in 2024, which could lead us to continue to deploy capital towards debt pay down, as well as invest in stores and M&A. Last comment I’d make on that, as you think about new store growth, fairly modest capital requirements for a new store location or a conversion, as we convert stores to pros. And if you look at the M&A that we’re executing in the current environment, it’s a lot of specialty retailers in the Sunbelt, smaller locations, not a big cash drain from an M&A perspective. But a clear opportunity to continue to deploy capital towards growth, but it will probably look a little different than it has the last couple of years. Justin Kleber : All right. Thanks for that, Steve. And best of luck, guys. Operator: There are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the floor back over to the management for closing comments. Please go ahead. Mike Egeck : Yes, I’d like to thank everybody for joining us today and your continued interest in Leslie’s. And we look forward to sharing our Q4 near-end results. Thanks.

The wave of layoffs hitting tech companies and beyond shows no signs of slowing. CVS is cutting 5,000 people, WSJ reports. Pharmacy giant CVS is cutting 5,000 jobs.Mary Meisenzahl/Insider Pharmacy giant CVS is cutting 5,000 corporate roles, WSJ reports. In recent months, layoffs have expanded beyond tech, media, and finance with Gap and Whole Foods also announcing cuts. See the full list of layoffs so far in 2023. A wave of layoffs that hit dozens of US companies toward the end of 2022 shows no sign of slowing down well into 2023.CVS, the pharmacy giant, is cutting about 5,000 jobs, most of which are corporate positions, The Wall Street Journal reported. The company told the Journal that it doesn't expect customer-facing roles in stores and pharmacies to be affected by the cuts. The news of these layoffs arrives on the heels of recent job cuts at companies including Binance, Niantic, Robinhood, Grubhub, and Spotify.  These companies join a large number of major corporations that have made significant reductions to staff this year: Tech companies, including Meta and Google, and finance behemoths, like Goldman Sachs, announced massive layoffs in the first weeks of 2023 amid a continued economic downturn and stagnating sales.The downsizing followed significant reductions that companies including Meta and Twitter made last year. The layoffs have primarily affected the tech sector. According to data from Layoffs.fyi, a site tracking layoffs since the start of the pandemic, tech companies slashed more than 223,000 in 2023 alone — compared to during the pandemic, when they cut 80,000 in March to December 2020 and 15,000 in 2021. Here are notable job cuts so far in 2023: CVS: 5,000 jobsCEO of CVS Karen Lynch said in a memo to staff that the company would be cutting roles to be "at the forefront" of a transformation in healthcare.Courtesy of ComparablyThe pharmacy giant is axing 5,000 jobs in a cost-cutting push, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. The cuts will impact employees in corporate roles, while those in customer-facing roles in CVS pharmacies and stores are not likely to be impacted, the company said in a statement to the Journal. In a memo that was sent to staff and viewed by the Journal, the company's chief executive Karen Lynch said the cuts would help CVS "be at the forefront of a once-in-a-generation transformation in health care."In addition to the layoffs, CVS is also reducing travel budgets and its use of external consultants in an effort to cut costs.Binance: More than 1,000 jobsNurPhoto / ContributorBinance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges by volume, has cut over 1,000 people from its workforce in recent weeks, the Wall Street Journal reports. The cuts come after the SEC filed a lawsuit against the company last month, alleging that it operated as an unlicensed crypto exchange. The cuts, which are ongoing, could whittle down Binance's staff by at least a third, a person familiar with the cuts told the Journal. Even before the SEC's suit the exchange was considering staff cuts to prepare for the next bull cycle and evaluate its "talent density," a Binance spokesperson told Insider. "As we prepare for the next major bull cycle, it has become clear that we need to focus on talent density across the organization to ensure we remain nimble and dynamic," the spokesperson said.The statement came after a series of tweets from independent journalist Colin Wu on May 31 that indicated forthcoming layoffs at the company. "This is not a case of rightsizing, but rather, re-evaluating whether we have the right talent and expertise in critical roles," the Binance statement continued. "This will include looking at certain products and business units to ensure our resources are allocated properly to reflect the evolving demands of users and regulators." Niantic: About 230 jobsNiantic released Pokemon Go to immense popularity in 2016.Thiago Prudêncio/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesNiantic CEO John Hanke announced that the AR gaming company would be laying off about 230 employees on Thursday.Hanke informed employees that the company would sunset its basketball game, "NBA All-World," and stop development of an unreleased superhero game "Marvel: World of Heroes." The company will also close a Los Angeles studio, he said."In the wake of the revenue surge we saw during Covid, we grew our headcount and related expenses in order to pursue growth more aggressively," Hanke wrote. "Post Covid, our revenue returned to pre-Covid levels and new projects in games and platform have not delivered revenues commensurate with those investments."He added that Niantic is still confident about the potential of the augmented and mixed reality space, and pointed to Meta and Apple's commitments to their respective headsets as a reason the industry should be optimistic.Robinhood: About 7% of the workforceRobinhood will cut around 150 jobs through its recent wave of layoffs.Photo Illustration by Rafael Henrique/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesRobinhood, a stock-trading app, is laying off around 150 of its full-time employees, The Wall Street Journal first reported. The job cuts will amount to about 7% of Robinhood's workforce — adding to the more than a thousand jobs the company has cut since last year.Robinhood's Chief Financial Officer Jason Warnick, wrote that the layoffs were done to "adjust to volumes and to better align team structures," according to an internal company message obtained by the Journal. "We're ensuring operational excellence in how we work together on an ongoing basis. In some cases, this may mean teams make changes based on volume, workload, org design, and more." a Robinhood spokesperson told Insider in an emailed statement. The spokesperson did not respond to Insider's questions asking about how many employees would face layoffs, and what positions would be impacted.This marks the third workforce reduction the company has undergone since last year. In 2022, Robinhood went through two rounds of layoffs in April and August which axed more than a thousand positions of its then 3,800 employees. The company cited these earlier layoffs as necessary to cut costs and eliminate duplicate roles that resulted from the company undergoing rapid hiring.The layoffs at Robinhood followed a ballooning period of stock trading and hiring at the company during the Covid-19 pandemic, Insider previously reported. But trading has only declined since then, as stimulus checks have dried up and inflation rates climbed, granting people fewer disposable income for trading. Ford: anticipated layoffsFord confirmed it would undergo layoffs, as part of the company's Ford+ growth plan.FordFord said it would undergo layoffs that would mainly impact engineering positions based in the US and Canada. A spokesperson for Ford declined to say how many employees would be laid off this week, when Insider asked for comment. The layoffs would mostly impact engineering roles in the US and Canada, the spokesperson said in a statement.The recent round of layoffs at Ford are part of the company's Ford+ growth plan that was introduced in 2021, the spokesperson told Insider. Part of this plan focuses on expanding the company's electric vehicles sales, CNBC reported."Delivering on the plan includes adjusting staffing to match focused priorities and ambitions, while raising quality and lowering costs," the spokesperson said in a statement to Insider, when asked about the reasoning for the layoffs.The layoffs will impact employees in each of Ford's business divisions, including its Ford Blue unit, its Model e electric vehicle division, and its Ford Pro services, CNBC reported.This layoff follows reductions the company made last year. In August, Ford laid off around 3,000 employees — a part of the company's plans to restructure the company's attention on electric vehicles. But the layoffs in the car industry are also distinct from those spreading across other industries, Insider previously reported. As more automakers shift to electric vehicles, more layoffs are anticipated across the industry. But while these changes signal some jobs will no longer exist in the industry, new positions will also be created as more automakers move in this direction.Sonos: About 7% of the workforceThe Sonos team celebrates its Nasdaq initial public offering.SonosIn a June 14 filing, Sonos disclosed it would be laying off around 7% of its workforce, or 130 people."In the face of continued headwinds we have had to make some hard choices, including eliminating some positions and reevaluating program spend," the company's CEO Patrick Spence said in a statement.The cuts come a month after the company announced a 24% drop in revenue for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022. At the time, company cited softening demand and reduced its earnings guidance for the rest of the year, causing its stock to take a hit.Grubhub: Around 400 jobsBrandon Bell/Getty ImagesGrubhub CEO Howard Migdal told staff that the food-delivery company would be laying off about 400 jobs on June 12 — or about 15% of its workforce.The cuts impacted Grubhub's corporate office, as the company's operating and staff costs have increased at a faster rate than its business over the past few years, the memo said. "We operate in a highly competitive and constantly evolving industry," Migdal wrote. "There is no doubt whatsoever that we have a solid foundation in place and an immense opportunity ahead of us – but it is also clear that we need to make some tough decisions in order to maintain our competitiveness."Grubhub has struggled to keep up with the likes of DoorDash and Uber Eats, and it is now the third biggest delivery operator in the US, according to Bloomberg Second Measure. The company has had three CEOs over the last two years, and its owner, Dutch conglomerate Just Eat Takeaway.com, tried to sell the firm less than a year after purchasing it.Meanwhile, more customers are turning away from food delivery, overall, in an attempt to save money and avoid sky-high fees.Spotify: 2% of workforceSpotify is the latest company to announce layoffs.Onur Dogman/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesSpotify announced that the music and podcast streaming app would lay off about 200 employees, or 2% of its workforce. The layoffs will impact employees across Spotify's podcasting business and its supporting functions, including talent acquisition and financial roles, a Spotify spokesperson told Insider.In the memo sent to employees, the vice president of Spotify's podcast business Sahar Elhabashi explained the layoffs were a part of the brand's decision to change how it works with podcast partners around the globe. The "fundamental pivot from a more uniform proposition will allow us to support the creator community better," the memo read."The company will support these individuals with generous severance packages, including extended Healthcare coverage and immediate access to outplacement support," the statement read. This announcement arrives on the tail of additional layoffs the music streaming service made back in January. In a memo to Spotify employees, CEO Daniel Ek said the company would cut 6% of its staff, about 600 people. "While we have made great progress in improving speed in the last few years, we haven't focused as much on improving efficiency. We still spend far too much time syncing on slightly different strategies, which slows us down. And in a challenging economic environment, efficiency takes on greater importance. So, in an effort to drive more efficiency, control costs, and speed up decision-making, I have decided to restructure our organization," he wrote. As part of those changes, Dawn Ostroff, the company's chief content and advertising officer, who spent more than $1 billion signing exclusive podcast deals with Joe Rogan, the Obamas, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has departed. JPMorgan: About 500 jobsJPMorgan recently began cuts of about 500 employees, CNBC and CNN reported.ReutersJPMorgan announced on March 26 that it is slashing 500 roles, CNBC reported.The cuts are expected to spread across JPMorgan's retail and commercial banking, asset and wealth management, and corporate and investment banking operations, according to CNBC.The reported layoffs come just a day after reports that JPMorgan laid off 1,000 First Republic employees, or about 15% of its workforce. JPMorgan, the largest bank in the US, got even larger earlier this month when it acquired the assets of failing First Republic after it was seized by regulators.LinkedIn: 716 rolesRyan Roslansky, CEO of LinkedIn, said the company would be cutting 716 roles on Tuesday.Courtesy of Ryan RoslanskyLinkedIn announced earlier this month that it would be cutting 716 roles from its global workforce in a message from CEO Ryan Roslansky.Roslansky also noted that company will also be discontinuing InCareer, a local jobs app in China, as it refocuses on helping companies in China hire, market, and train abroad. The decision comes on the heels of LinkedIn's 20th anniversary last week. "While we're making meaningful progress creating economic opportunities for our members and customers and experiencing record engagement on the platform, we're also seeing shifts in customer behavior and slower revenue growth," Roslansky said.Shopify: 20% of workforceDavid Fitzgerald/Sportsfile via Getty ImagesShopify is slashing 20% of its workforce and selling off most of its logistics business to supply chain company Flexport, the company announced on May 4. The cuts confirmed growing concern of layoffs among staffers in recent weeks, following the cancellation of several team-building offsite events and analyst speculation that Shopify would alter its logistics arm, Insider reported."I recognize the crushing impact this decision has on some of you, and did not make this decision lightly," Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke said in a note to employees and shareholders.He continued: "This is a consequential and hard week. It's the right thing for Shopify but it negatively affects many team members who we admire and love working with."Morgan Stanley: 3,000 jobsReutersMorgan Stanley is cutting 3,000 jobs by the end of the quarter, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. One person told the outlet that the company's banking and trading teams will be most impacted.The cuts will affect about 5% of the firm's workforce, excluding financial advisers and personnel in the wealth management division, Bloomberg noted. A spokesperson for the bank did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment and declined to comment to Bloomberg. However, CEO James Gorman noted last month that underwriting and mergers activity has been "subdued" and that he doesn't expect a rebound before the second half of 2023 or even 2024, Bloomberg noted. The firm last cut 1,600, or around 2% of its staff in December, Bloomberg noted. Dropbox: 16% of staffDrew Houston, cofounder and CEO of Dropbox, told employees Thursday that the company was eliminating 500 jobs.Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty ImagesCloud storage firm Dropbox said Thursday that it would be reducing its global workforce by 16%, or 500 jobs.In a message to staff sent Thursday, CEO Drew Houston said the cuts are being made, in part, from slowing business growth and the expansion of AI products. "Today's changes were the result of taking a hard look at our strategic priorities and organizational structure as a leadership team, and aligning to principles of sustainable financial growth, efficiency, and flexibility to invest in our future. We're also streamlining how the company is organized," Houston said.  Gap: more than 2,000 jobs since late last yearGap posters in Birmingham, England.Mike Kemp/Getty ImagesClothing retailer Gap is cutting 1,800 positions in its headquarters and upper management as part of a restructuring plan meant to cut costs, the retailer said Thursday.Gap said that the cuts are expected to help the company see $300 million in annualized savings."We are taking the necessary actions to reshape Gap Inc. for the future — simplifying and optimizing our operating model, elevating creativity, and driving better delivery in every dimension of the customer experience," the company's chairman and interim CEO Bob Martin said in a statement given to Insider.In September, Gap slashed 500 jobs from its corporate ranks in a push to save $250 million annually, the Wall Street Journal reported. Jenny Craig: potential mass layoffsA man enters a Jenny Craig facility June 19, 2006 in Niles, Illinois.Tim Boyle/Getty ImagesWeight loss company Jenny Craig notified staffers of potential mass layoffs on April 27, as a result of the company "winding down physical operations," according to an internal email reviewed by NBC News.According to NBC News, the company has been in the process of selling and anticipates the pending sale "will likely impact all employees in some manner," an FAQ document sent to employees read. "We do not know the exact employees/groups whom will be impacted, and if any employees may be retained," the document said, per NBC News. "As a result, we would suggest that you anticipate that your employment may be impacted and begin to seek other employment." 3M: 6,000 jobsMike Roman, CEO of 3M.Xinhua News Agency / Contributor/Getty ImagesOn Tuesday, the Scotch tape and Post-It Notes manufacturer said it will be cutting 6,000 positions across all parts of the company with the goal of streamlining operations, simplifying supply chain, and reducing layers of management, according to The Wall Street Journal.The company's chief executive Mike Roman said Tuesday that the cuts would eliminate 10% of 3M's global workforce and ultimately save the company between $700 to $900 million in pretax costs, the Journal said. 3M last announced cuts in January when it said it was removing 2,500 manufacturing positions.Lyft: 1,072 rolesReutersIn an SEC filing on Thursday, Lyft said it was cutting roles for 1,072 employees, or about 26% of its corporate workforce. In the filing, the company also said it is scaling back on hiring and has eliminated over 250 open positions. The news comes just weeks after David Risher took the helm as Lyft's new CEO, part of an executive shakeup that involved cofounders Logan Green and John Zimmer moving into board roles. A spokesperson for Lyft previously told Insider, "David has made clear to the company that his focus is on creating a great and affordable experience for riders and improving drivers' earnings."The spokesperson added, "To do so requires that we reduce our costs and structure our company so that our leaders are closer to riders and drivers. This is a hard decision and one we're not making lightly.

Santiago/Getty ImagesGoldman Sachs began laying off employees on Jan. 11, with cuts expected to impact an estimated 6.5% of the company's global workforce — or roughly 3,200 staffers — a source told Insider. The company previously slashed roles on its media and tech teams in September 2022, and it was expected to issue further reductions in the first half of January. The cost-cutting efforts from the investment banking giant mirror reductions from competitors including Morgan Stanley and Citi, which also laid off employees in 2022. "We continue to see headwinds on our expense lines, particularly in the near term," Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said at a conference in December. "We've set in motion certain expense mitigation plans, but it will take some time to realize the benefits. Ultimately, we will remain nimble and we will size the firm to reflect the opportunity set."   BNY Mellon: 1,500 jobsBNY Mellon CEO Robin VinceBNY MellonBNY Mellon is planning to cut approximately 3% of its workforce, or 1,500 jobs, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter. The cuts will be primarily aimed at talent management roles, according to the report. BNY Mellon will reportedly plan to invest more in junior staff. Verily (part of Alphabet): reportedly 15% of workersAlphabet CEO Sundar PichaiJerod Harris/Getty ImagesVerily, which is Alphabet's healthcare unit, is laying off more than 200 employees, according to an email seen by the Wall Street Journal. The Journal reports that the company will also scale down the number of projects it works on in an effort to cut costs."We are making changes that refine our strategy, prioritize our product portfolio and simplify our operating model," Verily's CEO, Stephen Gillet, wrote in the email, according to the Journal.This is the first significant layoff done by Google's parent company, which had so far avoided the massive waves of job cuts done by other big tech giants like Amazon and Meta. DirecTV: 10% of management staffDirecTV.Karen Bleier/AFP/Getty ImagesDirecTV employees were told in the first week of January that the company would lay off several hundred workers in management roles.The satellite TV business has faced slowing revenues as more people choose to cut the cord and pay for streaming services over cable TV. "The entire pay-TV industry is impacted by the secular decline and the increasing rates to secure and distribute programming. We're adjusting our operations costs to align with these changes and will continue to invest in new entertainment products and service enhancements," a spokesperson for DirecTV told Insider. Coinbase: 950 workersCEO Brian Armstrong cited the downward trend in cryptocurrency prices and the broader economy as reasons for the layoffs.Patrick Fallon/Getty ImagesCoinbase announced on Tuesday, Jan. 10, that would lay off another 20% of its staff. The cuts came after the crypto company laid off over 1,000 employees in July. In a memo to employees, CEO Brian Armstrong said, "in hindsight, we could have cut further at that time," referencing the layoffs in July. Armstrong partially attributed the company's weakness to the "fallout from unscrupulous actors in the industry," likely referencing the alleged fraud that took place at FTX late last year under then-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Armstrong predicted "there could still be further contagion" from FTX in the crypto markets but assured remaining employees that Coinbase is well capitalized. Amazon: 18,000 employeesAmazon CEO Andy Jassy initially announced the company's latest round of layoffs in November.AmazonAmazon is in the midst of the most significant round of layoffs in the company's history. In a memo to employees, CEO Andy Jassy said the company would cut more than 18,000 workers in total — far more than what was initially expected based on reporting by the New York Times. Jassy cited "the uncertain economy" and rapid hiring as reasons for the layoffs. While most of Amazon's 1.5 million staff have warehouse jobs, the layoffs are concentrated in Amazon's corporate groups. Amazon's layoffs began late last year, though the Wall Street Journal reports cuts will continue through the first few weeks of 2023.Amazon's 18,000 jobs cuts are the largest of any major tech company amid the wave of recent layoffs.  Salesforce: 10% of its staffSalesforce said in the first month of 2023 that it would enact big job cuts.Noam Galai/Getty ImagesSalesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff announced on Jan. 4 that the software company plans to layoff 10% of its workforce — an estimated 7,000 employees — and close select offices as part of a restructuring and cost-cutting plan. "The environment remains challenging and our customers are taking a more measured approach to their purchasing decisions," Benioff wrote in an email to staff. "With this in mind, we've made the very difficult decision to reduce our workforce by about 10 percent, mostly over the coming weeks."He continued: "As our revenue accelerated through the pandemic, we hired too many people leading into this economic downturn we're now facing, and I take responsibility for that."Everlane: 17% of corporate employeesEverlane founder and executive chair Michael Preysman.Lars Ronbog/Getty Images for Copenhagen Fashion SummitEverlane is slashing 17% of its 175-person corporate workforce, and 3% of its retail staff."We know there will be some bumpiness over the next few weeks as we navigate a lot of change at once.

The Most Dangerous International Treaty Ever Proposed Authored by Molly Kingsley via The Brownstone Institute, Human history is a story of forgotten lessons. Despite the catastrophic collapse of European democracy in the 1930s, it appears that the tale of the twentieth century – in which citizens, cowed by existential threats, acquiesced in the rejection of liberty and truth in favour of obedience and propaganda, whilst allowing despotic leaders to seize ever more absolutist powers – is perilously close to being forgotten. Nowhere is this more evident than in relation to the apparent nonchalance which has greeted two international legal agreements currently working their way through the World Health Organisation: a new pandemic treaty, and amendments to the 2005 International Health Regulations, both due to be put before the governing body of the WHO, the World Health Assembly, in May next year.  As concerned scholars and jurists have detailed, these agreements threaten to fundamentally reshape the relationship between the WHO, national governments, and individuals. They would hardwire into international law a top-down supranational approach to public health in which the WHO, acting in some cases via the sole discretion of one individual, its Director General (DG), would be empowered to impose sweeping, legally binding directions on member states and their citizens, ranging from mandating financial contributions by individual states; to requiring the manufacture and international sharing of vaccines and other health products; to requiring the surrender of intellectual property rights; overriding national safety approval processes for vaccines, gene-based therapies, medical devices and diagnostics; and imposing national, regional and global quarantines preventing citizens from traveling and mandating medical examinations and treatments.  A global system for digital ‘health certificates’ for verification of vaccine status or test results would be routinised, and a bio-surveillance network whose purpose would be to identify viruses and variants of concern – and to monitor national compliance with WHO policy directives in the event of them – would be embedded and expanded. For any of these sweeping powers to be invoked, there would be no requirement for an “actual” health emergency in which people are suffering measurable harm; instead it would be sufficient for the DG, acting on his or her discretion, to have identified the mere “potential” for such an event. It is hard to overstate the impact of these proposals on Member States’ sovereignty, individual human rights, foundational principles of medical ethics, and child welfare. As currently drafted, these proposals would deny UK sovereignty and governmental autonomy over health and social policies and, through the indirect impacts of forced lockdowns and quarantines and because each Member State would be required to commit a staggering minimum of 5 percent of national health budgets and an as yet unspecified percentage of GDP towards the WHO’s pandemic prevention and response, also over critical aspects of economic policy. The proposed new powers would cut across not only the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but also the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. They would signal a new watershed in our understanding of cornerstone human rights: an express amendment to the IHR deletes language currently reading “[t]he implementation of these Regulations shall be with full respect for the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons” to replace it with a nebulous confirmation that “[t]he implementation of these Regulations shall be based on the principles of equity, inclusivity, coherence…”. Provisions requiring (my emphasis) – in particular – the WHO to develop fast-tracked regulatory guidelines for the “rapid” (aka relaxed) approval of a broad range of health products including vaccines, gene-based therapies, medical devices and diagnostics threatens, in the view of legal jurists, “long fought-for standards of medical law aiming to ensure safety and efficacy of medical products,” and should be of particular concern for parents. Indeed, nothing in these documents would oblige the WHO to differentiate its binding directions for their impact on children, thus allowing for indiscriminate measures including mass testing, isolation, travel restrictions and vaccination – potentially of investigational and experimental products fast-tracked to accelerated approvals – being mandated for healthy pediatric populations on the basis of a real or “potential” health emergency declared unilaterally by the DG. As if this weren’t troubling enough, what makes it more so is that, as Thomas Fazi writes, “the WHO has fallen largely under the control of private capital and other vested interests.” As he and others explain, the evolving funding structure of the organisation and in particular the influence of corporate organisations focusing on pandemic response solutions (predominantly, vaccines), has steered the WHO away from its original ethos of promoting a democratic, holistic approach to public health and towards corporatised commodity-based approaches which “generate profit for its private and corporate sponsors” (David Bell). Over 80 percent of the WHO’s budget is now ‘specified’ funding by way of voluntary contributions typically earmarked for specific projects or diseases in a way that the funder specifies. History lesson “History can familiarise, and it should warn,” states the prologue to Timothy Snyder’s book, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. If only we were minded to be taught, there would be lessons to be learned of how far down the path of tyranny pandemic authoritarianism has already taken us and of how, if the WHO’s plans proceed, the Covid pandemic may yet signal just the beginning. “Anticipatory obedience is a political tragedy,” cautions Lesson One, and indeed it now would seem that the voluntary obedience given so heedlessly by global citizens in 2020-22 – to wear masks, to be locked down, to accept novel vaccinations. All of these measures, and more, now embedded in the proposals as potentially mandatory directives, binding on both Member States, and therefore on individual citizens. “Defend institutions,” advises Lesson Two, for “institutions do not protect themselves,” a sobering reminder in light of the WHO’s self-designation in these proposals as the “guiding and coordinating authority of international public health response[s]:” a designation which would expressly elevate that organisation above national ministries of health and elected, sovereign parliaments. Lesson Three, “Beware the one-party state,” reminds us that “parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnipotent from the start.” The WHO does not masquerade as a political party but nor will it need to after ordaining itself as the exclusive global controller not just of the identification of pandemics and potential pandemics but of the design and execution of pandemic responses, while also granting itself a vast health surveillance network and a global workforce – funded in part by the taxpayers of the nations over whom it shall tower – commensurate with its new supreme status. Remembering professional ethics – Lesson Five – would have been sage advice in 2020 but much though we might lament the abandonment of medical ethics from our vantage point of 2023 (“if doctors had accepted the rule of no surgery without consent,” rues Synder in relation to the tyranny of the 20th century) the WHO proposals would ensure that such deviations from foundational pillars of medical ethics – informed consent, disregard for human dignity, bodily autonomy, freedom from experimentation, even – can become an accepted norm, rather than an abhorrent exception. Beware, warns Synder, of the “the sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances; …be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception.” Positioned as a necessary next step for achieving global public health coordination and cooperation, the WHO’s proposals would erect a permanent, global surveillance infrastructure and bureaucracy whose raison d’être will be to seek out and suppress health emergencies.  The funding for this network will originate from the private and corporate interests that stand to gain financially from the vaccine-based responses they envision, so the opportunities for private exploitation of public health crises will be huge. And, by broadening and bringing forward in time the circumstances in which those powers might be triggered – no longer is an ‘actual’ public health emergency required, merely the ‘potential’ for such an event, we can expect the threat of the exceptional state of emergency to become a semi-permanent feature of modern life. “[B]elieve in truth” says Lesson Ten – for “to abandon facts is to abandon freedom,” apt indeed for our Orwellian era of doublethink, its slogans granted the status of religion and its ideology posing as integrity: “Be safe, be smart, be kind” (Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director General, 2020). What would Orwell make, one wonders, of the UK’s Counter Disinformation Unit and the US’s Ministry of Truth, or of proposals which not only permit but require the WHO to build institutional capacity to prevent the spread of misinformation and disinformation – and so anoint it as the single source of pandemic truth?  What would Hannah Arendt make of 2020-22’s intrusion of the State into the private lives of individuals and families and the ensuing prolonged periods of isolation and – through adopting forced isolation and segregation as respectful public health tools – the elevation of such destruction of private life to a globally accepted norm? “Take responsibility for the face of the world,” says Snyder in Lesson Four. Could there be any more potent symbol of society’s visible manifestations of loyalty to its new normal than the world’s masked faces of 2020-1? “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty” is a quote no less true for being incorrectly attributed to Jefferson, but having lived amongst the debris of failed Covid authoritarianism for three years. Perhaps we are too close now to understand how far from liberal democracy we’ve already fallen.  Even if one wholeheartedly agreed with the WHO’s focus on pandemic preparedness and the interventionist responses provoked, to grant such sweeping powers to a supranational organisation (let alone one individual within that), would be astonishing. That, as the pandemic response so brutally illustrated, the profit-optimised version of the greater good pursued by the WHO often clashes with child health and welfare, sets us up to commit a grotesque misdeed against our children and young people. Snyder’s most important lesson might yet be “to stand out – the moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken.” The UK has been sufficiently consumed with national sovereignty to pull out of the EU – a poster child for democracy compared to the unelected WHO; it would surely be unthinkable now to wave through proposals which would see the UK cede its sovereignty over key national health, social and economic policies to the WHO.

The Friction Ahead In 2023 Authored by Claudio Grass, Division, friction and polarization have been on the rise in the West for at least a decade, but the escalation we saw during the “covid years” was especially worrying. Over the last year, this “worry” has become a truly pressing concern, even a real emergency one might argue, as inflationary pressures and an actual war were added to the mix of political and social tensions.   Going into 2023, there are many reasons for responsible investors and for hardworking savers to adopt a cautious, bearish outlook. If anything, it’s hard to tell what to be concerned about the most and what to prepare for first: an escalation to the Ukraine-Russia war? Inflation persisting or even reaching new highs? Fuel and heating costs exploding even further? Growing government overreach and suppression of individual liberties and financial sovereignty?  In an effort to answer questions like these, that are keeping countless Americans and Europeans up at night, I turned to Jeff Deist, President of the Mises Institute in Alabama. Jeff has been one of the most impressive thinkers and speakers that I have personally encountered, and I’ve always found his clarity of thought particularly enlightening, but also very helpful in this day and age. After all, the ability to plainly and honestly communicate a great idea is just as important as the ability to conceive it – especially when it can be communicated to the public and change some open minds in the process, just like the Mises Institute has been doing for four decades.  Claudio Grass (CG): After the extreme trespasses, power abuses and irrational policies and U-turns we saw during the pandemic, many citizens hoped that 2022 would prove to be the year of “normalization”. What we got instead was a war, a fuel and food crisis, and a world more divided than any time before in recent memory. What was, in your estimation, the most worrying development we saw in 2022? Jeff Deist (JD): 2022 may be remembered as the year we fully understood how elites and the political class never intend to allow a return to “normal.” The covid flu virus created the excuse for lockdowns, controls, and spying; and as Robert Higgs explained, the “Ratchet Effect” means crisis measures don’t go away when the crisis ends.  Covid will be the excuse for attempts to impose a whole new battery of state mandates in areas of health (vaccines, masks, testing), business (closures), money (central bank digital currencies, capital controls), and movement (quarantines, travel restrictions). It’s up to us in the fight to restore normalcy and decency; the politicians will always go in the other direction. CG: We both warned for a long time that there would be a very high price to pay for the more-than-a-decade-long monetary and fiscal policies of the Fed and most of its peers. Why do you think it took so long for inflation to make the comeback we’re suffering though today? What triggered it and why now? JD: The current price inflation engulfing the US and other western nations results more from fiscal stimulus in 2020 and 2021 than monetary policy. In America alone, national politicians pumped more than $6 trillion into the domestic economy in the form of direct payments—subsidies—to state and local governments, preferred industries (insurance, airlines), businesses (payroll “loans”), and individuals in the form of stimulus checks. All this new money was created even as Covid lockdowns dramatically reduced the production of goods and services and disrupted global supply chains. So unlike monetary stimulus, where central banks push interest rates down and buy government bonds from commercial banks, the price inflation we are suffering today is directly tied to fiscal stimulus. It’s a simple matter of more money chasing fewer goods and services. Paying people to stay home and not work was a recipe for disaster. CG: After numerous unsuccessful attempts to simply deny its existence, central bankers were forced to acknowledge that inflation is indeed a problem, but still, quite unsurprisingly, nobody seems too keen to take any responsibility for it. Together with politicians, they simply blame Putin for it and pretend that the reckless “print, borrow and spend” approach of the past years had nothing to do with it. Given the relatively low levels of financial literacy among the general public, do you think most voters and taxpayers believe this narrative? JD: The question is not only whether average people still believe in the technical competence of central bankers to “manage” the economy, but whether they still believe central bankers even intend to help average people. Increasingly the answer to both appears to be “No!”  We are fewer than 15 years removed from the last economic crisis of 2008, so the idea that central banks prevent crises and crashes is hardly supported by the evidence. Of course, the poorest people suffer most from inflation, as a larger portion of their income for basics—food, utilities, transport, and rent. So, I do think average people sense something is deeply wrong with the financial and monetary system, even if they don’t understand the underlying technical issues.   CG: Apart from the thousands of human lives the Ukraine war has already claimed or uprooted and the inestimable damage to private and public property, there was another causality: Whatever was left of the legal protections for private property or of the free market in Europe vanished seemingly overnight. We saw gas and nuclear power companies nationalized, unprecedented interventionism in the oil and gas market and redistribution policies, fining energy companies for being profitable to pay for “inflation checks” to the public. Do you see a similar trend in the US? JD: The US has been more insulated from the energy shocks cause by sanctions against Russia simply because we have vast amounts of domestic oil and natural gas. But we lack sufficient refining capacity to make full use of our oil, due to environmentalist pressure. We also lack sufficient nuclear capacity for a country of 330 million people. So yes, I think events in Ukraine will advance the narrative of the “Green New Deal,” which effectively nationalizes energy policy to promote so-called renewable fuels while banning—or regulating into oblivion—fossil fuels. This is all a pipe dream, of course, as coal, oil, and natural gas still account for more than 80% of our energy use. And we are many decades away from having the grid capacity for widespread use of electric vehicles, even if you ignore the terrible issues of lithium mining and battery disposal.  Unless we are prepared to suffer a significant loss of material living standards, politicians in the West better stop fantasizing about green energy and start getting serious about the real market for reliable and cheap fossil fuels. Let’s hope and pray this winter does not result in the freezing deaths of people in Ukraine or Europe due to energy shortage. CG: Speaking of the US, what’s your assessment of the fiscal and regulatory policies adopted since Joe Biden took office? Do you think there’s anything his administration could have done to avert the current inflationary spiral or was it always going to be inevitable, after so many years in the making? JD: Biden certainly is responsible for the increase spending under his administration, which has enormous inflationary consequences. But most of the mischief in our economy was created by fiscal and monetary policies enacted while he was a cronyist US Senator for many decades. In that sense his Senate record is far worse than his presidential record. He is a buffoon, and easily led, which means he is not capable of challenging the “print, borrow, and spend” approach you mentioned. But I hope people understand Biden is a symptom of a much deeper problem, which is a hopelessly corrupt system with all the wrong incentives. CG: Focusing on the sociopolitical situation, at least from an outsider perspective, we’re certainly seeing less outrage and controversy reflected in the international press compared to when Trump was in the Oval Office. Does that mean that the “wounds have healed” and that Americans are actually more united today or is the rift still widening, just more quietly? JD: From my perspective the rift has widened. Biden’s narrow victory is viewed by the Left as a mandate to punish and vanquish the Deplorables, especially in rural areas. That’s the nature of politics, which is a form of proto-violence. Markets and civil society are win-win institutions, government and politics are zero-sum. So, unless and until we reduce the importance of political outcomes—unless and until we make life less political—we should expect division to grow. CG: Both in US and in Europe, there is well-documented and growing mistrust of the media, social- and legacy organizations alike. My own hope had been, especially after the pandemic, that the obscene amount of bias would cause more and more people to do their own research and to “educate themselves”. Have you noticed such a shift in the US, perhaps reflected in a heightened interest in the educational content and programs that the Mises Institute offers? JD: Absolutely. The digital age provides us the ability to seek out and find voices of reason and peace amidst the white noise of mainstream media. I hate to think it takes a real calamity to wake people up, but perhaps this is human nature. The more worried people become about the economy and their future, the more they seek out alternative sources of news and information. The Mises Institute works to be an alternative source for economic news and education. CG: Another trend we have in common is the “green agenda”. Even as the present crisis made it abundantly clear that the energy transition in Europe was catastrophically premature, bringing about the “cold, dark winter” that millions of citizens are now facing, there is still extreme pressure for more “green” policies, including a war on farmers at a time of unprecedented food price increases. Is that something you expect to see continue in the months and years to come and if so, what’s the impact you expect to see? JD: Food and energy crises certainly are possible. In keeping with the “new normal,” elites will use such crises to increase their own power and force us to suffer for problems they caused. We know, because they tell us plainly, their plans to have us stop using fossil fuels, stop traveling so much, stop eating meat, and stop owning homes. They are quite explicit about this.  The fastest and most effective way to achieve this is to make houses, gasoline, and meat so expensive only the very rich can afford them. We already see consolidation of home ownership by private equity firms, for example, to create a nation of renters in the US. We see billionaires like Bill Gates investing in fake meat substitutes. We see recipes in gourmet magazines for dishes featuring bugs!  None of this is normal or natural, but must be imposed by incentives, either positive or negative. If we hope to maintain any personal or family sovereignty in the coming decades, we have to recognize and resist this new program of imposed austerity. CG: What’s your outlook for the US economy in 2023? What are the main threats that worry you the most and what would be your advice for responsible savers that seek to protect all they’ve worked for from their government’s incompetence or intentional abuses? JD: Biden and company will face an increasingly tough economy, but given the Democrat's tepid success in the midterm elections I suspect the administration will simply double down on fake statements about how well the country is doing. Politics is contra-reality, so by definition Biden cannot accept or admit what's really going on. I predict the US Fed will “pivot” in 2023 on interest rate hikes, meaning they will revert to their usual (true) status of worrying more about equity and bond markets than consumers and inflation.   Inflation will remain will us, higher than admitted by government statistics, and will become a permanent feature of the 2020s across the West. Government spending and deficits will continue to grow. As a result, it will be a very trying decade for savers! Gold and silver, commodities, and bitcoin are the obvious suggestions for those looking to protect themselves from devaluation, but for a variety of reasons the US dollar will remain strong against other currencies. And of course, the most important thing is to “harden” yourself against uncertainty by improving your skills and practicing self-education. Tyler Durden Tue, 01/03/2023 - 19:00.....»»

It also meets our editorial criteria in terms of quality and value.* Earrings made with her birthstone Mejuri Amethyst Flat Sphere Studs, available on Mejuri, $180If your girlfriend wears jewelry, birthstone earrings that she can keep forever are a thoughtful, personalized gift she'll wear often.   Delicious sweets from a famous NYC bakery Milk Bar Milk Bar Treats, from $22If your girlfriend has a sweet tooth, send her Milk Bar — the company delivers its iconic and decadent cakes, cookies, and truffles to her doorstep. A pass to get into a bunch of boutique fitness classes Classpass ClassPass Gift Card, from $15Boutique fitness classes are expensive, which can make trying new workouts — either for variety or to figure out what we like — less appealing. ClassPass solves both issues. It's relatively affordable, and members can access a neverending catalog of great workouts with small class sizes. If your partner is getting back into fitness after over a year of at-home workouts, we'd highly recommend a gift card here for whenever they're ready to use it. Leggings fit for workouts and lounge sessions Vuori Vuori Daily Legging, from $59Vuori is known for its smooth, soft fabrics and flattering fits — and the Daily Legging is no exception. Combining the leisure and comfort of a jogger with the function and stretch of a legging, your girlfriend can wear these for both workouts and weekend lounging. *Sponsored by Vuori A disposable camera that doesn't take you out of the moment Gamesgamer024 The gamer/YouTube Disposable camera, $45Interested in preserving memories without taking yourself out of them? A good disposable camera or a film camera can take the pressure away from perfection so you and your girlfriend can focus on just savoring experiences together. The best electric toothbrush Colgate Electric toothbrush, $39.99If your girlfriend is more interested in gifts she needs as well as wants, an electric toothbrush is a good option. We've tested our fair share of electric toothbrushes, and we think Colgate's Hum is the best value. It cleans thoroughly and offers advanced features and modern design for $70 — which is considerably more affordable than options with fancy features you may not use enough.  A planned trip for the two of you to take together Airbnb Airbnb Gift Card, available at Airbnb, from $25If you want to gift an experience you and your girlfriend can enjoy together, grab a card, a gift card to Airbnb, and come up with a few location ideas to choose from. You can also book a hotel in your city on Booking.com or Expedia for a sweet staycation. *This gift can be saved and used at a later date. A versatile Exercise Dress Outdoor Voices The Exercise Dress, available on Outdoor Voices, $100Given the popularity of the Exercise Dress, we wouldn't be surprised if this was on your girlfriend's wish list.

They're lightweight, moisture-wicking, and built to circumvent annoyances like uncomfortable seams and heel slipping. A powerful, customizable massage gun Theragun Theragun PRO, available at Therabody, $599This is the best massage gun we've tested — though it's also on the higher end of what you would expect to pay. We loved it in part due to its two-year warranty, adjustable massage arm, customizable speeds, 60 lbs of no-stall force, six different heads, an extra battery, and how easy it is to use. If you can't give your girlfriend an unlimited pass to professional massages, this is a nice in-between option.  A nice gold vermeil and sapphire zodiac sign necklace Mejuri Aquarius Necklace, available at Mejuri, $395Mejuri is a Canadian startup created in 2015 to make fine jewelry affordable to buy — and it has racked up waitlists with more than 40,000 people before.
