Nordstrom Inc said on Thursday it would discontinue its Canadian operations and forecast annual revenue below analysts’ expectations, signaling high inflation levels were dampening consumer spending on discretionary items.

The decision to wind down the operations would result in about a $400 million decline in total net sales in fiscal 2023, the company said, adding it also expects a $35 million improvement in total earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).
