LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP announces that it is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors of Pier 1 Imports, Inc.

Pier 1 is engaged in the retail sale of decorative home furnishings, furniture, gifts and related products.

Citing "softer than expected sales in January and February, as well as higher than forecast expenses, primarily related to incremental supply chain costs," the Company now expects annual earnings of $0.80 to $0.83 per share, excluding some items, which is below analysts' average estimates and down from previous guidance of $0.95 to $1.05 per share in the period.

In a separate press release, Pier 1 announced a management change: Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Charles H. Turner has retired, and Laura A. Coffey, a 17-year veteran of the Company, has been named Executive Vice President-Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.
