23 Jul '09
2 min read

Pacific Sunwear of California Inc announced updated earnings expectations for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Same-store sales for the second quarter are projected to decrease by approximately 24% versus original expectations of negative 17% to 20%. Additionally, the Company expects a lower effective income tax rate and higher store asset impairment charges for the quarter.

As a result, the Company now expects to report a second quarter loss of $0.22 to $0.24 per share versus initial guidance for the quarter of a loss of $0.11 to $0.17 per share issued on May 21, 2009.

The Company estimates its fiscal 2009 effective income tax rate will be approximately 38%, which will result in an income tax rate for the second quarter of approximately 35% versus previous guidance of 43%. The decrease in the tax rate will negatively impact second quarter earnings results by approximately $0.03 per share.

The Company expects to incur approximately $5.5 million in non-cash, store asset impairment charges during the second quarter. These impairment charges are approximately $2.7 million, or $0.02 per share, higher than previously anticipated.

The Company also reported that it has had no direct borrowings outstanding under its credit facility at any time during the second quarter.
