Total net sales for the third quarter (13 weeks) ended October 28, 2006 increased by 43% to $82.3 million from $57.4 million reported in the third quarter (13 weeks) of the prior fiscal year. The company posted net income for the quarter of $6.8 million or $0.24 per diluted share versus $5.3 million or $0.18 per diluted share in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Comparable store sales were 10.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 9.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Total net sales for the first nine months (39 week period) of fiscal 2006 increased by 43% to $185.8 million from $130.2 million reported in the first nine months of the prior year. The company posted net income of $9.6 million or $0.33 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2006 versus $6.1 million or $0.23 per diluted share in the prior year. Comparable store sales increased 13.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 10.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. Rick Brooks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated, "We are pleased with our third quarter results and the earnings growth driven by our team year to date. During the quarter, Zumiez opened 12 stores and remains on track to open 42 new stores in fiscal 2006, in addition to the 19 Fast Forward stores acquired in the second quarter." Mr. Brooks concluded, "While we are proud of our accomplishments so far this year, we believe we are still in the early stages of our growth potential and we continue to strive to improve the store experience for our customers. We had 233 stores at quarter end, and believe we can eventually operate 800 stores in the U.S. In fiscal 2007, we plan to open 50 new stores, consistent with our long-term goal of expanding square footage by 20-25% annually. We have a terrific team in place to deliver on our goals as we expand in the marketplace." 2006 Outlook The company stated that it is maintaining guidance for fiscal 2006 to $0.66 to $0.67 in diluted earnings per share. Weighted average diluted shares for the fiscal year are expected to be approximately 28,900,000. 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.
