Kohl's Corporation recorded a 2.0% sales increase in net sales for the month of June to $1.35 billion from $1.32 billion last year. On a comparable store basis, sales decreased 4.9%.

For the 22 weeks ended July 7, 2007, total sales were up 10.7% over the 22 weeks ended July 1, 2006. On a comparable store basis, sales for the 22-week period increased 3.0%.

Larry Montgomery, Kohl's chairman and chief executive officer, commented, “As expected, June sales were negatively affected by the shift of Memorial Day into fiscal May. We continue to expect July's sales to benefit from a calendar shift affecting our back-to-school business and our expectations are for July's comparable store sales to increase in the mid-single digit range.”

The company continues to expect its second quarter earnings per share to be 81 cents to 85 cents per diluted share.
