Men's Wearhouse provided its mid-quarter update of earnings per share guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter that will be ending February 2, 2008.
Neill Davis, executive vice president and CFO, stated, "After a preliminary review of the first two months' results in our fiscal fourth quarter, we are updating our Q4 2007 GAAP diluted EPS estimate to be in the range of $0.16 to $ 0.18, and Fiscal Year 2007 GAAP diluted EPS to be in a range of $2.60 to $2.62. This new estimate updates our prior guidance of $0.43 to $0.48 for the fourth quarter and $2.87 to $2.92 for the fiscal year, provided on November 28, 2007.
"Substantially lower traffic levels at all of the company's retail stores, in both the United States and Canada, for the month of December drove weaker than planned comparable store sales results. The company anticipates continued weak traffic trends for January. Excluding occupancy costs, gross profit as a percentage of total sales is estimated to be in line with initial plans for the quarter. Deleverage of occupancy, selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from the weaker than anticipated comparable store sales."
