01 Julho 2010 - 5:15PM
Business Wire
Syms Corp (NASDAQ: SYMS), the leading off-price
retailer, announced results today for its first quarter ended
May 29, 2010.
For the first quarter (13 week period) ended May 29, 2010, the
Company had a net loss of $0.8 million ($0.06 per share) as
compared to a net loss of $2.0 million ($0.14 per share) for the
first quarter ended May 30, 2009.
Net sales increased by $71.2 million or 142% to $121.4 million
during the thirteen weeks ended May 29, 2010. Sales were $50.3
million in the comparable period last year. During the second
quarter of 2009, the Company acquired certain inventory, fixed
assets, real property leases and certain other assets of Filene’s
Basement, Inc. (“Filene’s”), an off-price retail clothing chain, in
an auction conducted pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The
first quarter sales increase was primarily the result of the
acquisition of Filene’s in June 2009 and contributed $74.4 million
of the sales increase. In addition, comparable store sales, which
are only for the Syms stores, increased 4.5% and contributed $2.0
million of the sales increase in the thirteen weeks ended May 29,
2010. The increase in comparable store sales was the result of a
higher average transaction size partially offset by a decrease in
the number of transactions. Partially offsetting the above sales
increases was the loss of sales resulting from the closing of five
stores during the past year.
As of May 29, 2010, the Company owned and operated 49
“off-price” apparel stores located predominantly on the east coast
under the Syms and Filene’s Basement names. Each Syms and Filene’s
Basement store offers a broad range of first quality, in season
merchandise bearing nationally recognized designer and brand-name
labels.
