Third Quarter Report for TIF

Tiffany & Co. announced today that their net sales were higher than expected at $598 million and their net earnings from continuing operations of $0.34 per diluted share in its third quarter that ended October 31, 2009.  The third quarter net sales were 3% lower than the previous year.  On a constant-exchange-rate basis, which excludes the effect of translating foreign-currency-denominated sales into U.S. dollars, worldwide net sales declined 5% and comparable store sales declined 6%.

 

 

Michael J. Kowalski, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “We were pleased to see that the rate of sales declines in the U.S. lessened as the quarter progressed. At the same time, many countries in Asia-Pacific and Europe achieved considerably better-than-expected sales. These results, combined with ongoing expense restraint, contributed to earnings above our prior expectation.”
