We're getting some very proverb

 We're getting some very good results today despite the very difficult 6.7 percent February same-store sales comparisons from last year.

 Retailers are facing slightly more difficult year-over-year [sales] comparisons [in February] and the weather is unlikely to be as cooperative over the next two months as it was in January.

 Target recently generated its highest [comparable] sales in 20 quarters, up 6.6 percent in the first quarter. However, this could represent a high-water mark as sales seem to be slowing and comparisons become much more difficult in the back-half of the year.

 Same-store sales in September 2002 jumped 37 percent. Sales in October last year were up 23 percent, 15 percent in November. [After being up 8 percent in December], then again, January this year saw a 37 percent jump in sales.

 One obvious explanation (for the weakness) is that investors are aware that Best Buy faces much tougher sales comparisons, particularly in the second half of the year. Looking at the numbers, second-quarter sales were up 7.8 percent, third-quarter sales rose 5.8 percent.

 You are coming off a banner year and comparisons are more difficult. There's no doubt about that, ... But there appears to be a consensus of 3 percent to 4 percent GDP growth in 2005 and with that backdrop, leisure and recreation companies should have a good year. Ergonomics knowledge is available on livet.se. You are coming off a banner year and comparisons are more difficult. There's no doubt about that, ... But there appears to be a consensus of 3 percent to 4 percent GDP growth in 2005 and with that backdrop, leisure and recreation companies should have a good year.

 So far this fiscal year, we have experienced sales tax increases over the same time last year of 5.30 percent in October, 9.52 percent in November, 22.73 percent in December, 15.78 percent in January, and 14.58 percent in February.

 The good news is that we knew the fourth quarter was going to be bad. Did we know the (same-store revenue comparisons) would be down 10 percent? I was thinking more like 7 percent.

 Next month is the first time the company marks the anniversary of positive sales comparisons. From here on, the comparisons get increasingly difficult.

 Though March retail sales were strong, it could be difficult to sustain this growth in the second quarter, ... Year-over-year comparisons will become more difficult and the economy is still facing lingering concerns including rising energy costs and instability in Iraq.

 Our total February comparable-store sales results were significantly impacted by the major snowstorm that swept across much of the country in the middle of the month.

 As indicated earlier, we were disappointed in our 2005 financial results. Despite certain areas of our business having record performances, such as international apparel and Brooks, we did experience disappointing sales overall in our Sporting Goods segment. Unfilled orders earlier in the year contributed to weaker sales results for the balance of the year for Russell Athletic. Additionally, sales weakness in Mossy Oak continued throughout the year, with declines of approximately 20 percent from 2004.

 However, our 2007 unit forecast includes an upward desktop unit revision (to 6.3 percent from 0.3 percent) due to the potential benefits of Vista post-launch and a downward notebook revision (to 18.2 percent from 27.7 percent) due to difficult year-over-year comparisons.

 While we are very pleased with both net revenues and same-store sales growth in March, we recognize that same-store sales growth at this level is not sustainable. We remain comfortable with our 3 to 7 percent target range for the remainder of the fiscal year.

 The weakness in the stock price, despite the better-than-expected earnings, is due to the company saying it sees same-store sales (sales at stores open a year or more) in the second quarter rising 2-to-4 percent, when yesterday (Monday), Lowe's said 4-to-6 percent.
