During the first quarter, we experienced continued weak trends in traffic and sales as our merchandise offerings were not well received by our customers. We are in the process of repositioning our brand and view 2011 as a transitional year for Coldwater Creek. We look forward to seeing the results of our new design, development and merchandising initiatives as we move through the year, said Dennis Pence, Chief Executive Officer of Coldwater Creek.

Profit for the first quarter was $198 million or $0.28 per share, up from $188 million or $0.26 per share last year. Adjusted earnings were $201 million or $0.28 per share.

Street predicts profit of $1.52 per share on sales growth of 3.70 per share for the full year.

Staples said it is adopting a more conservative sales and earnings outlook for the year due to the weaker than expected first-quarter results. The fresh annual forecast assumes very little improvement in the economy, continued investment in growth initiatives and competitive pricing in the contract market. The company expects these sales initiatives, combined with its ongoing focus on expense control, should strengthen results over time.
