Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
The Company held a conference call (the “Conference Call”) today at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, to discuss the Company’s fiscal 2010 operating results. During the Conference Call, Todd Weyhrich, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted that the Company’s fiscal 2010 full year gross margin rate was slightly better than expected. However, the Company expects its fiscal 2011 full year gross margin rate to be consistent with its historical full year gross margin rates for previous years. The Company notes that its gross margin rates fluctuate between quarters as a result of the Company’s operational needs.
The information contained in this report is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of, or otherwise regarded as filed under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:
Some of the statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts but rather are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections regarding the Company’s business, operations and other factors relating thereto. Words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and as such are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. For a discussion of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, any of which could cause our actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statement, see the section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2011, entitled “Risk Factors” and discussions of potential risks and uncertainties in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
