We believe that the company&#8217;s improved pricing initiatives, product line-up, ecommerce systems and sales endeavors will help in regaining the lost market share from earlier. Management also reaffirmed its revenue guidance of $735 million to $770 million and free cash flows in the range of $50 million to $60 million for fiscal 2011. The company leverages its strong distribution network to offer more than 75,000 items to approximately 91,000 schools in the U.S. This provides a competitive advantage to the company and bolsters its dominant position in the market. We have a long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock. Our target price of $16.00 is a based on the P/CF multiple of 4.8X. SCHOOL SPECIALT (SCHS): Free Stock Analysis Report ]]></description>

Despite a 4.6% increase in the top-line, the company delivered a quarterly loss of $0.16 per share, which was broader than the Zacks Consensus Estimate loss of $0.10 and the prior-year quarter&#8217;s loss of $0.04. It is to be noted that the company has historically reported losses in its first quarter due to the cyclic nature of the lawn and garden category. The company also witnessed a 5.4% drop in the gross profit with gross margin contracting 310 basis points primarily due to rising commodity prices along with the change in the product mix.

Consequently, School Specialty (SCHS) has been registering a sustained decline in the topline. Continued softness in demand is witnessed in both curriculum-based products and supplemental materials. The furniture market has been the worst hit by budget cuts, as school construction and modernization projects have been cancelled or postponed. Further, the intense competition and seasonality of business undermine the company&#8217;s future growth prospects. As such, we have an Underperform recommendation on the stock.

		<description><![CDATA[We recently upgraded our recommendation on School Specialty Inc. (SCHS) to Neutral from Underperform, buoyed by its initiative to reduce overheads and boost profitability. Operational consolidations, headcount reductions, improved supply chain management and other stringent cost-control measures helped lower SG&#38;A expenses during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The company recorded a 13.6% decline in SG&#38;A expenses year over year during the quarter. Furthermore, management also raised its previously announced cost reduction program by $5 million to $25 million. Lower capital expenditure, effective inventory management and improved accounts receivable boosted cash flow. School Specialty used much of the cash to strengthen its balance sheet, reducing total debt by 20.3% to $230.7 million at the end of second-quarter 2010. However, the budgetary constraint faced by schools due to the prolonged recession ]]></description>
