Bob Ulrich Quotes on Light (2 Quotes)

Sales for the corporation continued to be somewhat below plan in March. In light of our actual sales performance in February and March, and our outlook for April, we are unlikely to fully achieve our profit plan in the first quarter.

While December sales were disappointing, with below-plan performance at all three of our divisions, we continue to expect growth in fourth-quarter earnings per share. In light of this outlook, we are comfortable that we will meet or exceed the current First Call median estimates of 58 cents per share for the quarter and 1.36 per share for the year.
