EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2007--Zumiez Inc.
(NASDAQ: ZUMZ) today reported results for the fourth quarter ended
February 3, 2007.
Total net sales for the fourth quarter (14 weeks) ended February
3, 2007 increased by 49.0% to $112.4 million from $75.4 million
reported in the fourth quarter (13 weeks) of the prior fiscal year.
The company posted net income for the quarter of $11.3 million or
$0.39 per diluted share versus $6.8 million or $0.23 per diluted share
in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Comparable store sales
increased 12.0% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to a
20.7% increase in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.
Total net sales for fiscal 2006 (53 week period) increased by
45.0% to $298.2 million from $205.6 million reported in fiscal 2005
(52 week period). The company posted net income of $20.9 million or
$0.73 per diluted share in fiscal 2006 versus $12.9 million or $0.47
per diluted share in the prior year. Comparable store sales increased
13.0% in fiscal 2006 compared to 14.2% in fiscal 2005.
Rick Brooks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc.,
stated, "We are pleased to have completed another terrific year at
Zumiez, the 27th of the past 28 years with a comparable store sales
increase. We also successfully completed the integration of the
acquisition of Fast Forward and opened an additional 42 new stores
during the year."
Mr. Brooks concluded, "The continued success of the highly
differentiated Zumiez concept is a testament to the great team we've
assembled. We remain on track to open 50 new stores in fiscal 2007,
and are excited about our growth prospects for the coming year and
beyond."
2007 Outlook
The company's long-term financial targets include comparable store
sales growth in the mid single digit range, net square footage
expansion of approximately 20%, and diluted EPS growth in excess of
30%. In line with its long-term growth goals, the company introduced
guidance for fiscal 2007 of $0.94 to $0.96 in diluted earnings per
share. Weighted average diluted shares for the fiscal year are
expected to be approximately 29,500,000.
In putting forth this outlook, the company reminds investors of
the complexity of accurately assessing future growth given the
difficulty in predicting fashion trends and consumer preferences,
boardsports popularity and participation rates, general economic
conditions and the impact of other business variables and risks.
A conference call will be held today to discuss third quarter
results and will be web cast at 5:00 p.m. ET on http://ir.zumiez.com.
Participants may also dial (866) 543-6403 followed by the conference
