For the third quarter, DSW’s sales increased 1.7 percent to 708.3 million dollars, while comparable sales decreased 0.4 percent with a negative impact of 50 to 60 bps from hurricane disruption. Reported net income was 4 million dollars or 0.05 dollar per diluted share, while adjusted net income was 35.9 million dollars or 0.45 dollar per diluted share, including weather related impact of approximately 0.05 dollar per diluted share.

Commenting on the company’s third quarter, Roger Rawlins, Chief Executive Officer said in a press release, "Much of our core business performed in-line with expectations this quarter, despite an unusually severe hurricane season which impacted comps and earnings. Additionally, cold weather related product struggled to gain the traction we had anticipated; however, tight inventory management protected our bottom line from excessive markdowns and we ended the quarter with inventories below last year.”
