2012 Nike Free Run 3 Gris Naranja Mujeres Ahorre Hasta Un 70% De Descuento, Inc. earnings conference call. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the call over to Ms. Leslie Neville,

Earlier today we issued a press release detailing the results of operations for the quarter ended November 3,

Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 Gris Naranja Mujeres Con Precio Barato, plans and prospects of the company constitute forward looking statements. The actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward looking statements as a result of various important factors,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Men Negro Verde Cómodo y Envío Appropriate.Free, including those listed in today press release and in our public filings with the SEC.

With that I will turn it over to Doug,
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Mujeres Gris Rosa acolchado Se Venden Con El Precio Bajo.

Good morning everyone. Today I will provide detail on some of the significant factors that impacted our financial performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and review our targets for the remainder of the year. As previously released,
Nike Free Run 6.0 Spiderman transpirable Naranja Mujeres Precio Al Por Menor, net sales for the quarter increased 11% to $367 million. Same store sales decreased 3% for the comparable thirteen week period versus an increase of 2.6% last year. Same store sales for the year to date period decreased 0.5% compared to an increase of 3% last year. Our average unit retails increased due mainly to our clean inventory position entering the quarter. However,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Anti-piel Negro Rosa Mujeres Zapatos Corrientes De Venta, like many retailers we experienced a significant decrease of traffic,
Nike Roshe Run Oscuro Verde Blanco Malla Hombres Venta Con 70% De Descuento, particularly in the month of September.

Gross profit rate for the quarter decreased 70 basis point to 29.0%,
Nike Free Run 2 Azul Blanco Gris Precio Más Bajo, however,
Mujeres Nike Free Run 3.0 Magenta Reflect platino plata pura Venta Hombres,
2013 Nike Free Run Powerlines Negro Hombres Venta Hogar Es Su Mejor Opción, as expected the merchandise margin rate,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Negro Rosa Mujeres A La Venta Con Precio De Descuento, which is margin excluding occupancy and warehouse expenses,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Gris Púrpura Mujeres Nueva Colección Está Disponible, increased 30 basis points. The decrease in gross profit was due equally to increased occupancy expense associated with the 102 additional Stein Mart stores added in January and the de leverage of DSW occupancy resulting from the negative comp store sales in the quarter.

Selling general and administrative costs or SG decreased 250 basis points during the quarter to 19.6% of sales,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Hombres blancos Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, due in part to the re launch of our loyalty program last year and a reduction of our 2007 bonus accrual. These gains offset a 40 basis point de leverage for the development of our e commerce channel. The net impact of gross margin and SG performance was 190 basis point increase in our operating income rate for the quarter to 9.5% of sales. Overall,
Wmns Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 2014 donne blu In vendita per la vostra selezione, net income for the quarter was $22.4 million compared with net income of $16 million for last year. Diluted earnings per share were $.51 compared with $.36 a year ago,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Gris Rosa Mujeres Es Una Buena Opción Para Usted, a 40% increase over third quarter last year.

To support our long term growth we invested $30 million in capital expenditures during the third quarter,
Nike Free Run 2 2012 Luz azul púrpura Mujeres Zapatos Corrientes De Venta,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 Azul Gris Mujeres Proporciona Varios 50% De Descuento, approximately half was for new and remodeled stores with the balance primarily for IT infrastructure and our e commerce business. Our cash and short term investment balance at the end of the quarter was $141 million. Before looking forward to the balance of the year we believe it important to briefly revisit last years results.

The fourth quarter of 2006 benefited from two significant items. The addition of a 53rd week,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Ext Todos Orange Mujeres Disfrute De Más Descuento, and the reduction of the DSW awards accrual. The fourth quarter of 2007 is negatively impacted by the calendar shift of volume that benefited the third quarter. That said based on current trends we are estimating diluted annual earnings per share to be in the range of $1.24 to $1.29 and annual comps of flat to down 1%. The 2007 estimate includes $8.5 million of expense related to the development of e commerce channel which equates to approximately $.13 per share.

While we will not provide earnings guidance for next year at this time,
Nike Roshe Run Darkblue Blanc 2015 l’Arrivée De Nouveaux Livraison Gratuite, we can say that we are appropriately cautious on our outlook. However,
Nike Free Run Trainer 3.0 Negro Azul Hombres Venta Hombres Running Zapatos, even in a challenging environment we expect to open at least 30 stores,
2012 Nike Free Run 5.0 V5 Azul Gris Mujeres Ahorra Hasta Un 50% De Descuento, launch our e commerce channel,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 Negro Rosa Azul Mujeres Hombres Para Zapatos Baratos,
Nike Roshe Run Dyn Fw lightGray Mujeres Hombres Disfrute El Mayor Descuento, continue our investment into our systems infrastructure and deliver earnings growth in 2008.

Now I will turn it over to Debbie for her comments on the merchandise results,

Nike Roshe Run Women New Green White Quilted Outlet Sale Womens Mens 2015.

Third quarter comps were below expectations with the miss being driven primarily by weather sensitive businesses,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 Blanca Luna Mujeres Cómodo y Envío Appropriate.Free, soft traffic in the month of September and a weakening of demand in the men area and in women junior casuals. However,
Wmns Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 2014 donne blu Si possono risparmiare un sacco qui,
136085 140 Air Jordan 1 Retro White University Blue With Superior Quality, tight inventory management control allowed us to deliver improved growth margin rates.

Our promotional cadence in Q2 brought us into Q3 with clean inventories and clearance levels at historical lows. Our Boots More traffic driving event in October exceeded our regular price selling expectations,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Gris Verde Mujeres Cómodo y Envío Appropriate.Free,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Negro Azul Mujeres Nueva Colección Está Disponible, thus increasing overall margin performance. These strategies have put us in a good inventory position as we head into Q4 and the winter sale to be held at the end of December. We expect that we will end the season clean and be in a good position to start spring of 08 the department level,
Nike Roshe Run edad Mujeres Hombres Negro Fresco Gris Comprar Con Seguridad,
2013 Nike Free Run Powerlines Negro Hombres Env穩o Libre Con Entrega R獺pida,
Nike Free Run 3 2012 Negro Rosa Mujeres Para Hombres Baratos Running Zapatos, we had a miss in men and women while athletic and accessories had positive comps. Across the departments we are seeing a shift toward more classic,
Nike Air Foamposite One Sale 2015 With Top Quality And Free Shipping Now, cleaned up looks. This resulted in some of the softness we saw in the young attitude areas. We are positioning inventories to take advantage of this trend going forward. Unseasonably warm weather softened demand and higher AUR categories such as boots while we saw double digit positive comps in casual sandals and positive performance in athletic once again driven by the fashion component.

Our strategy to support casual sandals with fresh receipts in the appropriate market exceeded both our sales and margin expectations. We are pleased with what we have seen in the boot category in Q4,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 2012 mujeres rojas Ahorra Hasta Un 50% De Descuento, the AUR is more than $3.50 higher than last year and we expect to end the season in a clean inventory position. The women casual area had strong comps in comfort and missy flats,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Fly Ligne Hommes Jaune Gris À La Vente Avec Escompté Prix, however,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Verde Hombres En Venta En Su Selección,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Azul Plata Mujeres Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, total casual comps did not meet expectations as demand softened in the junior area,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Gris Mujeres rojas Para Usted Al Mejor Precio, specifically in flats and balkanized.

We have taken steps to address underperforming categories here and expect inventory to be on target for Spring,
Nike Roshe Run Carbón Negro Cyan Azul Malla Hombres Hasta 52% De Descuento,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Black Orange Mujeres Ahorre Tiempo y Dinero Ahora.

While the total women dress area had negative comps in Q3,
Wmns Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 2014 mujeres negras rojas Con Descuento 56% -78%, we saw positive comps in the young attitude area driven by round toes and Mary Jane The classic dress area delivered flat comps for the quarter with trend toward cleaned up classic looks we feel strongly about this area as we head into Spring. In the men area we were pleased with double digit comps in traditional core men dress and casual and will continue to fund these businesses. However we experienced a lack of demand in young men product and have reduced inventories here through the remainder of the season. While men boots did not meet expectations being a weather sensitive business,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr mujeres negras rojas 2015 Nueva Llegada Del Envío Libre, we tightly managed the inventory and are in a good position going forward.

The highlight in the women accessories area was the strong double digit comp performance in small leather goods and fashion hats,
Nike Free Run 2 Gris Azul Mujeres Precio Más Bajo. The cold weather goods got off to a slower start but we have seen it pick up in the recent weeks and will manage inventories through the Fall as needed,
Nike Free Run 6.0 Spiderman transpirable Naranja Mujeres Outlet En Venta.

Collectively,
Nike Free Run 2 Antracita Blanco Verde Gris Negro Venta Zapatos Para Hombre,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2014 Plum mujeres rojas Se Venden Con El Precio Bajo, our leased division had flat comps increased promotional activities by our leased partners contributed to an increase in mark downs for the third quarter. Inventories are in line here for the remainder of the season.

As we head into Spring we feel good about our balanced assortment offering of fashion versus core and our position to maximize opportunity,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Oscuro Hombres Entrega Rápida a Su Puerta. Early indications are that this will be a strong season for dress shoes and color will be important,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Gris Naranja Mujeres 2015 Nueva Llegada Del Envío Libre.

Now,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Blue Moon Silver Mujeres Para Zapatos Baratos, I like to turn it over to Peter.

Based on our forecast for fiscal 2007 DSW will not achieve full year earnings growth over the prior year,
136002 132 Nike Air Jordan 13 Xiii Original OG On Sale For Your Selection,
Nike Roshe Run Red White Women Vendite online. This is a first for us as a public company and we are disappointed with this outcome,
Nike Free Run 2014 gris rosa claro de la Mujer Tenemos Buena Reputación. While we continue to see significant improvement in execution in many areas across the business in aggregate our execution fell short during a particularly difficult retail environment,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Gris Azul Rosa Mujeres Usted Puede Ahorrar Mucho Aquí.

Like other retailers our team gathers each week to review the prior week results,
Nike Free Run 3.0 mujeres azules Outlet Store Clearance Sale Online 2014,
Nike Free Run 2 Negro Verde Blanco Con Descuento Grande y El Envío Rápido, make adjustments and improve our understanding of the customer. Consistent with prior seasons we don allow the discussion to be dominated by external factors such as weather or retail the environment. While we are very aware of the external factors,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Negro Blanco Mujeres Aquí Sería Su Mejor Opción,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Gris Naranja Mujeres Para Barato Zapatos Para Hombre, our focus continues to be on controlling the controllables.

By holding ourselves accountable for the factors within our control we continue to learn from both our successes and disappointments,
302370 645 Air Jordan 9 Motorboat Jones Running Shoes For Cheap But Real. I like to share with you some of our key learning which appropriately align with elements of our growth strategy,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Gris Rosa Mujeres Para Usted Al Mejor Precio.

1 Lower targeted clearance inventory levels did not hurt sales and they improved gross margin during the third quarter. The semi annual sales event helped us to manage to targeted clearance levels. By entering seasons with inventories positioned flat or down faster expected turns and content mixed more toward current fashion than clearance we consistently positioned the business for up side while mitigating down side risk. This can be seen in the third quarter,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Piel Gris Blanco Mujeres Se Venden Con El Precio Bajo,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Cool Grey reflectante Plata Negro Comprar Con Seguridad, despite running negative comps and missing our original third quarter plan,
Nike Free Run 4.0 2012 Azul Plata Mujeres A La Venta Con Precio De Descuento,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Gris Púrpura Mujeres Tenemos El Precio Bajo En Línea, we delivered good margins,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Oscuro Hombres Entrega Rápida a Su Puerta, and entered fourth quarter the inventories basically flat to last year. This refinement will continue in the fourth quarter with our Winter sale event. Our outlook incorporates a realistic view of sales trends and the markdowns required to ensure the best possible inventory position entering 2008. Like the beginning of third quarter 2007,
Nike Free Run 2 Gris Blanco Azul Negro Proporciona Varios 50% De Descuento, we are targeting a reduction in inventory over last year. Inventory levels will be appropriate providing a reasonable level of protection against continued comp store weakness.

2 The power of our loyalty program. By every measure our loyalty program continues to strengthen and improve. We are growing the DSW Rewards Program faster than our store growth in rolling 40,
Nike Roshe Run Men Black Volt With Top Quality And Discount Price For You,

Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Gris Orange Femmes Vente En Ligne Avec Cheap Prix, bonus point promotions and member e mail contacts generated significant incremental sales that contributed to our third quarter sales total.

3 Better new store staging and planning. New real estate development is dominated by the Lifestyle Center format. We are pleased that we have become a tenant of choice for these Lifestyle Centers with our new store design and smaller footprint. Like many other retailers,
Nike Roshe Run Negro Blanco Plata Hombres Regalo Para Usted o Su Familia, we are experiencing initial sales shortfalls to plan in some of these new centers. In many circumstances we are among the first tenants to open with as much as 70% of the remaining tenants under construction for several months. While this does not impact our comp store performance,
2013 Nike Free Run Powerlines Negro Hombres Tenemos El Precio Bajo En Línea, it does contribute to our short fall to plan. We have addressed this in our new store process and plan go forward. The overall real estate strategy continues to perform as expected,
2013 Nike Free Run Powerlines Negro Hombres Nueva Colección Está Disponible, new stores are training to superior sales per foot to the chain average and delivering the desired profitability rate.

4 Better management of fashion distortions. While we experienced significant double digit comps in areas of fashion distortions such as flats and balkanized product our inventories are planned for even higher sales. While our Spring plan supports fashion distortions as it should,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 Rosa Blanco Mujeres Envío Gratis Para Todo El Mundo, we have limited distortions to our inventory investment leaving more room to chase trends in season.

5 Customers love the new store design. We will end this year with 35 stores in the new Easton Design format,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Ext Lago Mujeres Azul Negro Más De 60% De Descuento, including five remodels where we are reading sales lift and form our capital planning decisions. Initial indications are good but premature. Customer comments have been incredibly favorable. We will be conducting formal customer research over the next six months to better understand the impact of the new design.

6 Customers are beginning to experience the new service model. This summer we rolled out our new service model and we are beginning to see it deliver with consistency across all stores. This service model is about providing customer engagement that is passionate,
Nike Roshe Run Suede Negro Doderblue Mujeres Hombres Con La Mejor Calidad, friendly,
