Activist Investor Barington Jumps In to Pressure Victoria's Secret
Victoria's Secret & Co. has another unhappy investor calling for change. The lingerie giant, which has been working on a reboot under chief executive officer Hillary Super and fending off BBRC International, is now taking flack from James Mitarotonda, whose Barington Capital has a stake in the company of more than 1 percent. More from WWD Victoria's Secret in 'Recovery Phase' After Cyber Incident Brett Blundy's BBRC Blasts Victoria's Secret Ahead of Earnings Report Victoria's Secret Reveals Preliminary Q1 Results, but Delays Full Report Following 'Security Incident' Mitarontonda, chairman and CEO of the activist investment fund, has pushed for change at Victoria's Secret before. Last time he was able to get on the inside through a consulting agreement with the company that lasted from 2019 until Victoria's Secret was set up as an independent company in 2021. But in an open letter to the retailer's chairperson, Donna James, Mitarontonda had a long list of complaints and pointed to a 57.2 percent stock decline since the spin off. In addition to the $2.4 billion in market capitalization lost since the public listing, Mitarontonda highlighted: Declines in revenue and gross margins and increases in inventory that 'reflect deep-rooted operational and strategic shortcomings.' Senior management turnover and a lack of marketing and merchandising focus. Super's 'limited chief executive and public company experience.' And her focus on relaunching Pink and expanding into athletic wear 'while failing to prioritize the company's core business and international growth.' Victoria's Secret's focus has shifted in recent years. The brand was long known for its overt sexiness and televised runway shows, but suddenly found itself on the outs and criticized for catering to the male gaze as cultural sentiment shifted. Now Victoria's Secret, which relaunched its runway show last year with women at the helm, is feeling its way forward and trying to find the right balance for the business. 'We believe that the company's attempt to simultaneously embrace disparate cultural narratives has resulted in a diluted brand identity, while its core business — Victoria's Secret's leading bra and intimate apparel franchise — has suffered from seeming inattention and mismanagement,' Mitarontonda said. He said the company should be 'reestablishing merchandising discipline, launching bold, exciting and imaginative marketing campaigns, and, where appropriate, reintroducing successful legacy elements, such as the iconic Angels campaign.' The activist called for the company to consider replacing most or all of its board members. Already, Victoria's Secret's board was under the investor microscope. Australian entrepreneur Brett Blundy's BBRC has a 12.9 percent stake in the company and has grown increasingly vocal about the business. The board has sought to keep BBRC at bay, installing a poison pill shareholder rights plan to prevent the retailer from being bought on the open market without the buyer negotiating a control premium with management. But Mitarontonda called the poison pill 'a step in the wrong direction' and said it could 'deter potentially value-enhancing proposals.' 'The company still maintains an 18.3 percent share of the North American market for women's underwear and nightwear and the Victoria's Secret brand has endured across generations, with significant loyalty among younger consumers and an impressive online following,' the activist said. Those strengths aren't necessarily valued on Wall Street where the company has a market cap of under $1.5 billion despite annual revenues of more than $6.2 billion. Investors seemed to like the idea that Barington — a veteran of many retail activist campaigns — is pushing Victoria's Secret to sharpen its business. Shares of the company increased 2.9 percent to $18.73 in midday trading Monday. But Mitarontonda sees much more there that the market's missing. 'We estimate the value of Victoria's Secret beauty business at $17 to $20 per share, based on wholesale revenue of approximately $700 million, peer enterprise value to revenue multiples of 1.9 to 2.4-times, and 79.8 million fully diluted shares outstanding,' he said.

Robbie Williams' boldest tour yet proves the 90s aren't dead
Robbie Williams first captured the nation's hearts back in 1990 when he burst onto the music scene as a cheeky and loveable member of beloved boyband Take That. Now, 35 years on from his fresh-faced debut, his latest UK tour has well and truly proved that the 90s aren't dead. The 51-year-old pop icon has been wowing fans up and down the UK on his highly anticipated 2025 tour, with shows in Edinburgh, London and now Manchester's Coop Live Arena. The singer of 'Angels' promised this tour would be his 'boldest yet', and judging by the audience response on Wednesday, June 12, he certainly delivered. The concert kicks off with a fusion of futuristic tech and nostalgic messages, reminding everyone in attendance why we're here, to simply savour the music. READ MORE: Hundreds of Wetherspoon pubs introduce new menu with daily meal deals READ MORE: Asda reduces 'silky feel' bedding to £7 in sale Following a series of tongue-in-cheek messages from AI-generated replicas of icons like Freddie Mercury, David Bowie and Elvis, Robbie takes to the stage in a rather understated Troy Bolton-style bright red vest and matching trousers. It's an ensemble he sticks with for most of the evening, switching into a pink version halfway through the show. Kicking off the set with 'Rocket' didn't quite appear to hit the mark with the crowd initially, but any reservations were swiftly forgotten when the opening chords to 'Let Me Entertain You' rang out. This became a recurring theme throughout the night, as Robbie switched on his 90s boyband popstar persona to deliver the evening's highlights, interspersed with less popular tracks from his long showbiz career. Robbie wasn't shy about being the butt of the joke if it meant winning the crowd back over. Throughout the night, the former Take That member engaged with the audience. Fans heard the star's heartfelt revelations about his journey as he spoke candidly about his battles with addiction and mental health, thanking his fans for their unwavering support. A particularly touching moment came during "I Love My Life," which he dedicated to his wife and children. Robbie spent a significant portion of the evening chatting to his audience, leaving the evening feeling more like 'an evening with Robbie', rather than a straightforward gig of back-to-back hits. And when it came to the classics, Robbie often let the audience take over the singing. For this reviewer, the high point of the evening came in the final 10 minutes when Robbie powerfully performed Angels and Feel. These iconic songs were destined to steal the spotlight, with everyone lighting up their phones for a truly magical atmosphere.
