J. Jill beats by $0.06, beats on revs

• Reports Q3 (Oct) earnings of $0.15 per share, $0.06 better than the S&P Capital IQ Consensus of $0.09; revenues rose 7.5% year/year to $174.1 mln vs the $165.64 mln S&P Capital IQ Consensus.
  • Total company comparable sales, which includes comparable store and direct to consumer sales, increased by 1.0%
• Outlook:
• For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company expects total comparable sales to decrease 2% to 4%, on a 13-week to 13-week basis consistent with the National Retail Federation's restated 2017 calendar. Last year's fourth quarter comparable sales growth was 8.9%, and included elevated levels of clearance sales.
• Total net sales are expected to decrease 10% to 12%, driven by the shorter fiscal period and the calendar shift created by the fifty-third week in fiscal 2017 which shifted sales from the fourth quarter to the third quarter in fiscal 2018.
• GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.02, including a $0.03 negative impact related to the calendar shift. This is compared to $0.67 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 which included the $0.02 benefit from the fifty-third week and a $0.55 benefit resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
