In a competitive and volatile consumer environment, we drove a strong top line on leaner inventories, reduced markdowns and achieved cost leverage. We remain focused on our strategic plan aimed at fortifying our brands and processes and growing our business across North America. Concurrently, we are laying the ground work for transformational global expansion, while continuing to drive strong returns to our shareholders.”

For the 14 weeks ended February 2, 2013 the company reported adjusted earnings of $0.55 per share, a 41% increase compared to adjusted EPS of $0.39 for the 13 weeks ended January 28, 2012.

Cash Distributions to Shareholders

The board of directors authorized 20 million shares under a new share repurchase program and raised the quarterly cash dividend to $0.125 per share, a 14% increase. Due to the early payment of the first quarter dividend of $0.11, which was paid on December 28, 2012, the increased dividend distribution will begin in the second quarter. In 2012, the company returned $577 million to shareholders through dividend payments totaling $403 million and repurchased 8.4 million shares for a total of $174 million. After cash distributions, the company ended fiscal 2012 with total cash and short-term investments of $631 million.

Future Outlook

With macro-economic headwinds and unfavorable weather affecting consumer spending in February, management is issuing first quarter EPS guidance of $0.16 to $0.19 per diluted share, compared to EPS from continuing operations of $0.22 last year. EPS guidance is based on comparable store sales in the negative mid-single digit range, compared to a 17% increase in the first quarter of last year. Management remains committed to its strategic plan annual targets of 7 to 9% top line CAGR, 12 to 15% EBIT CAGR, and a ROIC of 14 to 17%.
