FY2009 Performance “Entering the second half, we remain very confident about our ability to once again produce top quartile results as measured against our peers in revenue growth, inventory productivity, expense management and earnings. We cannot, however, ignore the potential influence of the rapidly evolving economic environment on our business and on our ability to provide specific, meaningful guidance."
"Cautious retailers in all classes of trade are delaying and reducing orders across all categories in an effort to limit their on-hand inventory and exposure. The continuing loss of retail floor space due to downsizings, bankruptcies and liquidations is being felt by all suppliers, including R.G. Barry. Economic pressures continue to cast a long shadow over every link in the global supply chain making what is reality today unrealistic tomorrow. We are confident that despite these uncertainties we can continue to achieve the high levels of performance necessary to consistently be among our category's top performers,” Mr. Tunney concluded.
