Net income for the quarter totalled $811 million compared with $730 million in the same quarter last year. Comparable-store sales rose 1.4 percent in the quarter but the company noted that sales were poor in January given the harsh winter climate. In the month the company saw a seven to eight percent drop in comp sales. “While we had expected a sales decline in January because of the calendar shift, the month was down further than we had expected and we are very disappointed with sales performance in January,” said Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Macys, Inc. “In part, poor January sales were due to the unusually harsh winter weather across much of the country. At one time or another during January, 244 Macys and Bloomingdales stores were closed because of weather, and the business remained sluggish until Valentines Day. Once warm spring weather arrives and our full assortment of fresh spring merchandise is in place, we believe customers will return to a more normalized pattern of shopping. But based on our experience in January and early February, we are watching business trends closely.” Of note, the quarter only had 13 weeks compared to 14 weeks in the same quarter last year.
