Tilly’s announces third quarter outlook

As a result of the calendar shift impact of last year's 53rd week in the retail calendar, the company expects its third quarter total net sales to range from approximately 145 million dollars to 151 million dollars based on an assumed three to six percent increase in comparable store net sales. Tilly’s expects this calendar shift to result in a net decrease of approximately 13.9 million dollars in last year's comparable sales base and approximately 0.11 dollar of diluted earnings per share for third quarter comparability. This, the company said, is due to a portion of the back-to-school season shifting into the second quarter this year versus being in the third quarter last year.

The company expects third quarter operating income to range from approximately 8 million dollars to 9.5 million dollars and earnings per diluted share to range from 0.20 dollar to 0.24 dollar. This outlook assumes an anticipated effective tax rate of approximately 27 percent and weighted average shares of approximately 30 million.
