		<description><![CDATA[Everett, Washington-based Zumiez Inc. (ZUMZ) reported comparable-store sales growth of 17.0% for September 2010. This compares with a 0.8% decrease in the year-ago period. The growth in comparable-store sales was driven by an increase in transactions, slightly offset by lower dollars per transaction. Total sales for September improved 22.5% to $44.7 million, compared with $36.5 million in the year-earlier period. By product category, all segments (accessories, men’s, footwear, boy’s, juniors and hardgoods) posted positive comparable-store sales in the month. Transactions increased during the month, but dollars per transaction were down. Moreover, average unit retail (AUR) dropped and units per transaction also fell, but to a lesser extent. Region-wise, comparable-store sales were up about 22% in the South, 16% in the Midwest, 15% in the West and 9% in the Northeast. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. stocks started September on a high note as better-than-expected manufacturing data bolstered hopes that the economy is gaining strength, albeit slowly. All major stock indexes notched up gains of at least 2.5%, retracing some of the losses from August’s hammering. September is known for volatile swings in the market. Yesterday, investors swung into action after reports from China suggested strength in economic activity in that country. The rally intensified after the Institute of Supply Management reported a surprise rise in U.S. manufacturing activity. As investors turned to equities, treasury prices dropped, sending corresponding yields higher. Gold and the dollar fell in price. Australia’s GDP also had some bearing on investors’ minds yesterday. Reports showed the country’s economy grew 1.2% in the second-quarter, up from estimates of 0.9%. The Dow ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zumiez Inc. (ZUMZ), the leading action sports related apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories retailer, reported same-store sales growth of 10.9% for the five-week period ended Jul 3, 2010, driven by an increase in comparable store transactions as well as the combined impact of the shifts in Memorial Day and Fourth of July holidays. Results compared favorably to a same-store sales decrease of 19.3% in the year-ago period. Net sales in the reported period increased 16.4% year-over-year to $37.2 million. The June results marked the seventh consecutive month of positive same-store sales. Comparable sales growth was driven by an increase in comparable store transactions. Units per transaction as bundling promotions and tiered pricing strategies continue to attract teens. Zumiez’s same-store sales were positive in all five weeks in June, ranging from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zumiez Inc. (ZUMZ), a leading specialty retailer of action sports related apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories, reported better-than-expected same-store sales in Feb 2010. Consequently, Zumiez’s shares jumped more than $3.75 to $19.78 in early morning trade on the Nasdaq. Total net sales for the four-week period ended Feb 27, 2010 increased 19.6% to $27.6 million, compared to $23.1 million in the year-ago period. Zumiez’s comparable store sales increased 11.2% during Feb 2010 versus a comparable store sales decrease of 13.4% in the same period in the previous year. The improved sales result of Zumiez indicates stabilization of the overall action sports category. Industry experts further anticipate continued sales improvement in the coming months as inventories remained lean and sales of high-margin accessories had improved recently. Zumiez is scheduled to report ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Easy comparisons and relatively favorable weather helped increase same-store sales in the typically weak month of October for retailers, up 1.8% from the year-earlier level but below the 2% growth expectation. Results for this series, which tracks data for stores open at least a year from 30 major retailers, had come ahead of expectations the last two months. As a result of the financial crisis last fall, conditions were extremely bad in October of last year, when retail sales were down 4.1%. October is typically a weak month for retailers, sandwiched as it is between the active shopping periods of back-to-school and the holiday season. The monthly sales numbers do not include data from Wal-Mart (WMT), which stopped giving monthly sales numbers earlier this year. Results were mixed among the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through the middle of June, the S&#38;P Retail Index (RLX) is sitting on gains of about 13% year-to-date. The strong relative performance of retailing stocks thus far has been due to low expectations coming into 2009, &#8220;less bad&#8221; sales declines and cost cutting efforts. This combination allowed retailers to easily beat first quarter earnings estimates. Going forward, however, retailers are going to have a harder time beating estimates because expectations have climbed higher, while &#8220;less bad&#8221; results and cost cuts are already reflected in analyst estimates. Moreover, for the retailers to deliver better-than-expected results in the months ahead, the upside will have to come from an improvement in sales growth.
