Tiffany's First Quarter Sales up 12% and E.P.S. up 28%
Business Wire, May 30, 2008
2008 Outlook
He added, "We are maintaining a cautious outlook for U.S. sales and do not expect an improvement until later this year. Worldwide sales performance in May-to-date is meeting our expectation which, consistent with the first quarter pattern, reflects strength in markets throughout Asia-Pacific (other than Japan) and Europe more than offsetting softness in U.S. sales. We remain on track to achieve our full year growth expectations. Specifically, we are looking for worldwide net sales growth of approximately 10% in 2008 and now expect net earnings per diluted share to increase to $2.80 - $2.90."
