Net sales of $2.01 billion edged past the $1.98 billion analyst estimate but fell 7.7% year over year, a decline management attributed almost entirely to the closure of 514 stores as part of its ongoing restructuring, rather than underlying demand weakness. The footprint optimization, completed in March, also helped lift adjusted operating income margin to 3.0% from 2.8% a year ago and expand adjusted gross margin to 43.8%. Despite the beat, shares retreated after management trimmed full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance to a range of $1.20 to $2.20, absorbing roughly $0.30 of incremental net interest expense tied to a $1.95 billion senior notes offering completed during the quarter; full-year net sales guidance of $8.40 billion to $8.60 billion was reaffirmed, with comparable store sales growth expected between 0.5% and 1.5%.
