CLARCOR (CLC $42.31 -3.53) reported third quarter earnings of $0.63
per share, excluding non-recurring items, $0.02 worse than the Capital IQ
Consensus Estimate of $0.65.
Revenues rose 8.4% year/year to $284.8 million versus the $297.2 mln consensus.
In fiscal year 2011, the company reaffirmed earnings guidance of $2.25 to $2.40
vs. $2.40 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate; lowers revenue guidance to +11% to +12%
to approx. $1.123 billion to $1.133 billion from +12% to +13.5% versus the $1.14
billion Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.
The company said, "We expect to be in the upper end of fiscal year EPS range
assuming there are no major economic disruptions in the fourth quarter. We
experienced some challenges with slower economic activity in Europe and China in
the third quarter, and uncertainty prevails in the U.S. economy going forward.
Accordingly, we are maintaining our current 2011 diluted earnings per share
guidance at $2.25 to $2.40. We expect to be in the upper end of this range
assuming there are no major economic disruptions in the fourth quarter."
