Shoe Pavilion (NASDAQ:SHOE)
Historical Stock Chart
From May 2019 to May 2024
Shoe Pavilion, Inc. (Nasdaq:SHOE) today announced financial results for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Net sales increased 32.6%, or $8.9 million, to $36.2 million from $27.3
million for the first quarter ended April 1, 2006. Comparable store net
sales for the first quarter increased 7.8% from the same period in
fiscal 2006. Sales from our new stores and relocated stores contributed
$10.0 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Gross profit was 28.8% in the first quarter compared to 34.0% in the
same period last year. The decrease primarily reflects higher occupancy
costs due to the rapid rollout of new stores during the past year and a
reduction in selling margins. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 33.3% of net sales compared to 32.1% in the
year-ago period primarily reflecting de-leveraging from the lower than
expected net sales.
A net loss of $1.2 million was incurred in the first quarter, or $0.13
per diluted share, compared to net income of $206,000, or $0.03 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2006.
Dmitry Beinus, Chairman and CEO of the Company, stated: “Our
performance in the first quarter was below our original expectations as
a result of outside factors which affected the 24 stores we opened in
2006. Most of the stores opened in 2006 were in new shopping centers
where we have experienced slower than expected traffic due to ongoing
construction in the centers as well as it taking longer than planned for
other retailers to open stores at those centers. As a result of our
first quarter performance we are taking a more conservative approach to
our outlook for 2007. We continue to be very pleased with the
performance of our mature stores and overall core operations and we
believe we are on the right path to increasing sales and improving
returns at our new stores.”
During the quarter, we opened one new store in Sparks, Nevada, and
relocated two stores into larger premises, those being in Emeryville and
Portrero in Northern California. We operated 109 stores as of the March
31, 2007.
Business Outlook
In the second quarter of 2007, we expect to open three new stores,
relocate one existing store into larger premises and close 4 stores. For
fiscal 2007, we expect to open 16 to 18 new stores and close 5 to 7
stores.
We anticipate that our comparable store net sales will increase 2% to 3%
in the second quarter of 2007, and that comparable store net sales will
increase 3% to 4% for the 2007 fiscal year. We anticipate achieving net
sales of $37 million to $39 million in the second quarter of 2007, an
increase of 18% to 24% in net sales over the first quarter of 2006. For
the 2007 fiscal year, we anticipate achieving net sales of $155.5
million to $160.5 million, an increase of 18% to 22% in net sales over
fiscal 2006.
We presently expect that in the second quarter of 2007 we will achieve
net income of $50,000 to $150,000, or $0.01 to $0.02 per diluted share
and for the 2007 fiscal year, we anticipate that we will incur a net
loss of $2 million to $2.5 million or $0.21 to $0.26 per fully diluted
share.
