Second Quarter Earnings Guidance

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the company expects diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis to be $0.17 to $0.18. This includes a benefit of about $0.01 per share from tax rate adjustments impacting the second quarter; a loss of $0.01 per share related to the discontinued operation of Forth & Towne and $0.01 per share of expenses associated with the company’s ongoing cost reduction initiatives. Excluding the loss associated with the discontinued operation of Forth & Towne and the expenses associated with the cost reduction initiatives, the company expects diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 to be $0.19 to $0.20. Please see the reconciliation of expected diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis to expected diluted earnings per share excluding the above amounts, a non-GAAP financial measure, in the table at the end of this release.

The company reiterated that it expects the year-over-year percent change in inventory per square foot to be down in the low-single digits at the end of the second quarter.
