Francesca's Holdings Corporation provided earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year ending February 3, 2018. For the quarter, the company expected net sales in the range of $137 million to $139 million, assuming a 15% to 17% decrease in comparable sales. This compares to previous guidance of net sales in the range of $145 million to $150 million, assuming a 9% to 12% decrease in comparable sales. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.18 to $0.23 compared to the company’s previous guidance range of $0.35 to $0.40. For the year, the company expected diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.55. This EPS guidance excludes the impact of the recently adopted tax law. It is expected the new tax law will increase the fourth quarter tax expense as the company’s deferred tax asset will be reduced due to the lower federal tax rate.
