Zumiez Inc. Announces Fiscal 2018 First Quarter Results
First Quarter Loss Per Share Improved to $0.10; May Comparable Sales Increased 7.5%
LYNNWOOD, Wash., June 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ:ZUMZ) a leading specialty retailer of apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories for young men and women, today reported results for the first quarter ended May 5, 2018.
Total net sales for the first quarter ended May 5, 2018 (13 weeks) increased 13.9% to $206.3 million from $181.2 million in the first quarter ended April 29, 2017 (13 weeks). Comparable sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 increased 8.3% compared to a comparable sales increase of 1.8% for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2017.

The increase in cash and current marketable securities was driven by cash generated through operations partially offset by capital expenditures.
“Our new fiscal year is off to a very good start,” commented Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc. “The strong top-line momentum we achieved in 2017 acclerated during the first quarter fueled by the strength of our assortments and the seamless shopping experience we’ve created for consumers who interact with our brand. With comparable sales increasing 8.3%, we generated significant expense leverage and dramatically improved our bottom line performance year-over-year. We are confident that we are on the right path to further expand our global market share and drive increased value for our customers, our employees, our brand partners, and our shareholders over the long-term.”
