Updates Second quarter EPS guidance
Pittsburgh - July 8, 2010 -- American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO) today announced that total sales for the five weeks ended July 3, 2010 increased 1% to $249 million, compared to $246 million for the five weeks ended July 4, 2009. Comparable store sales decreased 1% for the month, compared to an 11% decrease for the same period last year.
Total sales for the 22 week year-to-date period ended July 3, 2010 increased 5% to $1.102 billion, compared to $1.054 billion for the 22 weeks ended July 4, 2009. Comparable store sales increased 2% for the year-to-date period compared to a 10% decline for the same period last year.
Based on recent business trends and deeper promotions, the company now expects second quarter adjusted earnings to be on the low end of the guidance range of $0.12 to $0.16 per diluted share. On a GAAP basis, the second quarter guidance range is ($0.01) to $0.03 per diluted share and includes estimated closing charges and an operating loss related to MARTIN+OSA of approximately $0.13 per diluted share as outlined in the table below. This guidance excludes the potential impact of severance and investment security charges. Second quarter guidance compares to adjusted EPS of $0.18 per diluted share for the second quarter ended August 1, 2009, which excludes a tax benefit, a non-cash, non-operating foreign currency loss and an operating loss related to MARTIN+OSA as outlined in the table below.
During the month, the company repurchased 6.7 million shares, bringing the year-to-date total to 10.7 million shares for a total of $153 million. This leaves 19.3 million shares remaining under the current authorization.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes information on non-GAAP earnings per diluted share ("non-GAAP" or "adjusted"). This measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The company believes that this non-GAAP information is useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the company's operating performance, when reviewed in conjunction with the company's GAAP financial statements. This amount is not determined in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be used exclusively in evaluating the company's business and operations.
