Omnichannel speciality retailer Tailored Brands is reportedly planning to file for bankruptcy protection in as Covid-19 crisis continues to hit sales.

The company is expected to implement the decision in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, which begins on 2 August.

With the continuous reduction in liquidity and failure to make an interest payment, the retailer doubts its ability to continue as a going concern within a year.

Tailored Brands, which also owns men’s clothing store Jos A Bank, saw its shares fall by 9% to 54 cents in extended trading, Reuters reported. The company’s shares have fallen nearly 86% this year.

Earlier this month, Tailored Brands decided to cut approximately 20% of its corporate positions as part of its plan to strengthen its financial position and compete in a challenging retail environment.

Last week, the retailer received notification from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that it is no longer in compliance with the NYSE continued listing criteria.
