The Finish Line Inc. reported earnings rose 6.1 percent in its second quarter ended Aug. 31, to $26.5 million, or 54 cents a share, exceeding Wall Street's consensus target of 45 cents with the aid of expense controls and share buybacks. Consolidated net sales grew 13.3 percent to $436.0 million with Finish Line comparable store sales increasing 0.9 percent
“We are pleased to have delivered a solid second quarter performance,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Glenn Lyon. “The combination of positive comparable sales and good expense control drove a 10 percent increase in earnings per share over last year. At the same time, we continued to make good progress building our business with Macy’s and growing our Running Specialty Group. Looking ahead, we are cognizant of the headwinds currently facing the retail industry and this has been incorporated into our near-term planning. We remain confident that our strategy to create a leading multi-divisional, omni-channel business will lead to sustainable sales and earnings growth and increased shareholder value over the long term.”
Balance Sheet
As of August 31, 2013, consolidated merchandise inventories increased 18.1 percent to $296.0 million compared to $250.6 million as of September 1, 2012. The increase resulted primarily from the start-up of Macy’s business. For Finish Line, merchandise inventories decreased 0.5 percent.
