K2 Inc. expects adjusted diluted earnings per share for the full year to be in the range of 87 cents to 88 cents, exceeding K2's previous guidance of 83 cents to 86 cents.
On a preliminary basis, K2 expects 2007 Adjusted diluted earnings per share to exceed its 2006 revised/increased guidance. While K2 anticipates softness in its winter sports business in 2007 due to the impact the warm winter and poor snow conditions have had on the current winter sports season, K2 expects to benefit from the “diversity of its global sporting goods business and capitalize on the strength of its portfolio.”
