Doug Ewert, Men's Wearhouse president and chief executive officer, commented, "We were pleased to report adjusted EPS of $0.69 despite the Easter-driven tuxedo timing shift that moved revenue to the second quarter. Our Men's Wearhouse stores performed above plan with sales growing 4.8% over last year's first quarter and comparable sales up 2.9%. Moores' revenue was negatively affected by currency exchange rates during the quarter but performed very well, with comparable store sales rising 6.0%. While GAAP operating income decreased, we grew adjusted operating income for all retail brands and were able to leverage SG&A despite an increase in advertising.
