The athletic wear brand said it planned to cut about $325 million by temporarily laying off retailer workers and other measures. “Since mid-March, as the pandemic accelerated dramatically in North America … and retail store closures ensued, we’ve experienced a significant decline in revenue across all markets,” CEO Patrik Frisk said in a statement.
