Including a $1.9 million interest charge, the company expects earnings between 7 cents per share and 9 cents per share, compared with a previous estimate of 8 cents per share to 10 cents per share.

Excluding the charge, Wet Seal now forecasts earnings of 9 cents per share to 11 cents per share.

Analysts, who usually exclude one-time items from their estimates, predict profit of 9 cents per share, according to a poll by Thomson Financial.

The retailer also said Thursday its same-store sales fell 2.9 percent in June, a shortfall in-line with what Wall Street was expecting.
