Share Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized a $1 billion share
repurchase program. Share repurchases may be made in open market or
privately negotiated transactions over a two year period, subject to
market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions
under the Company's insider trading policy, and other relevant factors.
The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Joseph B. Parsons
, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer,
Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer, stated, “We are pleased to
initiate a share repurchase program, which reflects the Board and
management’s confidence in our ability to achieve our long term growth
objectives and generate strong free cash flow. This repurchase program
underscores our commitment to returning value to shareholders, while
maintaining the financial flexibility to strategically invest in our
business.”
Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company expects total revenue
to be in the range of $1.27 billion to $1.30 billion. This assumes a low
double digit comparable store sales increase. Diluted earnings per share
are expected to be in the range of $1.31 to $1.34 for the third quarter
of fiscal 2015. This assumes 208.3 million weighted average diluted
shares outstanding and a tax rate of approximately 32.5%.
For fiscal 2015, the Company now expects total revenue to be in the
range of $4.3 billion to $4.4 billion. This assumes a comparable store
sales increase in the mid teens. Diluted earnings per share are now
expected to be in the range of $4.13 to $4.18 for fiscal 2015. This
assumes 208.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding and a
tax rate of approximately 32.2%.
