Select Comfort Announces Second Quarter Sales Increase of 32 Percent, Updates Second Quarter Earnings Guidance
MINNEAPOLIS, Jul 3, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Select Comfort Corporation
(Nasdaq: SCSS), the nation's leading bed retailer and creator of the SLEEP
NUMBER(R) bed , announced today that net sales for the second quarter ended June
28, 2003 were $102.0 million, a 32 percent increase from $77.3 million for the
second quarter of 2002. Same-store sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2003
increased 34 percent on top of a same-store sale increase of 21 percent in the
second quarter of 2002.
"We continued to build momentum for our brand, product and stores in the second
quarter, and remain confident in Select Comfort's sustainable growth potential,"
said Bill McLaughlin, president and chief executive officer. "In this
challenging economy, we are fortunate to be in the position of investing in
growth with new advertising, store openings, store remodels and new product
development."
The Company now estimates its second quarter earnings per share will exceed the
current consensus estimate of $0.08 per fully diluted share. It is revising
earnings guidance upward to $0.11 to $0.12 per fully diluted share for the
second quarter of 2003. This compares to pro forma, diluted net income per share
in the second quarter of 2002 of $0.05. The Company will provide third quarter,
fourth quarter and full-year guidance when it reports second quarter results on
July 15, 2003.
The company's earnings under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for
second quarter 2003 are being compared to 2002 earnings on a pro forma,
after-tax basis to improve comparability between the periods. GAAP did not allow
the company to reduce its earnings for income tax expense in 2002, while 2003
results reflect a reduction in earnings for income taxes. In the second quarter
of 2002, pro forma, diluted net income per share was $0.05 and reported earnings
per share under GAAP were $0.08. A full reconciliation of the company's pro
forma, after-tax earnings for 2002 to treatment under GAAP can be found at the
end of this release.
Select Comfort will hold a conference call to discuss its second quarter results
on July 15, 2003, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. A simultaneous webcast of the call
will be available in the Investor Relations section of www.selectcomfort.com. A

Vorsicht vor den Zahlen am 15. Juli. Falls SCSS die nächste Woche noch läuft, könnte es dann heißen: Sell on good news! Werde wohl dann Teilverkauf tätigen und den Rest mit engem SL absichern.
