Store in my area is now closed

BBAO .46 --->>>>>If they opened two stores the first quarter looks like business will resume as usual. I think after they restructure nonprofitable stores and move out of the expensive mall arena they may have a chance for a turn around. Also the MM's havent shown up yet so when that resumes this should trade nicely.

[sarals]

I think there may have been more who had the same opinion... I think the local store in the local mall has disappeared.

[originunknown]

A bit overpriced and not exactly my cup of tea but I could see the appeal of a segment of the "buying" population ...

[sarals]

what did you think?

[originunknown]

I have visited that store.

[sarals]

got out this morning at 8.85... just temporarily until this corrects.

[sarals]

gone to far to quick?



I still like the long term prospects on this one, but it sure like it's gone a little too high a little too fast.

[sarals]

strongly up on a bad market day...

[sarals]

wonder if this about recent news or something we don't know about yet... look at this puppy go!

new high today...

same store sales up 30%

FORT WORTH, Texas, Apr 9, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- The Bombay Company, Inc. (BBA, Trade) reported today that same store sales for stores open more than one year increased 30% for the five-week period ended April 5, 2003. Total revenue increased 36% to $47.9 million compared to $35.3 million for the five-week period ended April 4, 2002. Revenue from non-store activity, including Bailey Street Trading Company, International, Mail Order and Internet, amounted to 9% of total revenue for the period compared to 7% for the same period last year.

For the nine weeks ended April 5, 2003, same store sales increased 28% and total sales increased 35% to $82.1 million compared to $60.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Revenue from non-store activity represented 8% of total revenue for the nine weeks compared to 6% last year.

Sales continue to be favorably impacted by strong flow of product, better inventory position, particularly in furniture, and more effective marketing during the month compared to last March when same store sales were down 11%. The strongest increases occurred in the furniture category with wall decor and accessories also experiencing double-digit sales growth. All regions of the United States and Canada experienced strong double-digit same store sales increases.

Based upon continued strong sales and leveraging of overhead costs, the Company currently estimates results for the first quarter to be in the range of a $.04 to $.06 loss per share compared to previous guidance of an $.08 to $.10 loss per share. The Company expects same store sales for the quarter to be in excess of 20%. For the year, the Company is revising its earnings guidance to be in the range of $.29 to $.32 earnings per share.

Bombay Co Announces 15% Increase In Sept Same Store Sales

FORT WORTH, Texas -(Dow Jones)- Bombay Co. (NYSE:BBA - News) said its September same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, rose 15% amid particular strength in its furniture category.
ADVERTISEMENT


In a press release Wednesday, the home-accessories retailer said total revenue for the five-week period ending Oct. 5 rose 25% to $43.6 million from $35.0 million in the year-earlier period.

Revenue from non-store activity, including Bailey Street Trading Company, international, mail order and Internet, amounted to 8% of total revenue for the period compared to 5% for comparable period a year ago.

For the thirty-five weeks ended Oct. 5, same-store sales fell 5%, while total revenue rose 5% to $265.0 million from last year's $252.9 million.

Revenue from non-store activity amounted to 7% of total revenue for the period compared to 3% a year earlier.

Bombay said all regions of the country, as well as Canada, experienced double digit same-store sales growth as the company increased density of store level inventories and targeted its marketing efforts.

Bombay said levels of promotional activity were similar to last year.

The company also said the lockout at the West Coast ports, at this time, has not had a significant effect on operations. Since the majority of the holiday inventory has already arrived, Bombay said, the impact on revenue for the next few months is not expected to be significant.
