ST. LOUIS -- Furniture Brands International today announced that the company expects net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 to total approximately $274 million. The company anticipates that financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010 will include selected charges totaling between $20 million and $25 million on a pre-tax basis.
The selected charges include closed store expense, property disposition and restructuring expenses, accounts receivable charges, factory downtime costs, inventory charges, and trade name impairment. The company anticipates that the selected charges will be allocated approximately evenly between cost of sales and selling, general & administrative expenses.
Based on the company's anticipated fourth-quarter 2010 net sales, the company's fiscal 2010 sales are expected to total approximately $1.158 billion. The selected charges included in the fourth quarter 2010 results will be in addition to the approximately $11 million in selected charges incurred through the first nine months of 2010 on a pre-tax basis. These charges were detailed in the company's third quarter 2010 earnings press release.
The company will announce financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 after the close of trading on February 2, 2011. Management will host a conference call to discuss the results and business trends at 7:30 am CST February 3, 2011.
