The company’s comparable store sales decreased 2.4% for the five-week period ended January 4, 2014 compared to a comparable store sales decrease of 1.0% for the five-week period ended December 29, 2012.
Based primarily on lower than planned sales quarter-to-date, and to a lesser extent lower than planned merchandise margins, the Company is revising guidance and now expects fiscal 2013 fourth quarter sales in the range of $226 to $229 million and net income per diluted share of approximately $0.56 to $0.59, a decrease from the previously issued guidance of sales in the range of $230 to $237 million and net income per diluted share of approximately $0.60 to $0.66.
This guidance is now predicated on a low single digit comparable store sales decrease for the fourth quarter and includes a previously disclosed estimate of $1.7 million, or approximately $0.05 per diluted share, for charges associated with the acquisition of Blue Tomato.
