Tilly's, Inc. (NYSE: TLYS, the "Company") today announced comparable store net sales results for the nine-week period ended January 4, 2020 (the "holiday period"), and provided updates on its fiscal 2019 fourth quarter earnings outlook in advance of its attendance at the annual ICR Conference in Orlando, Florida on January 13-14, 2020.
"Following a strong Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday, our business experienced an unexpected deceleration in net sales and store traffic during the second and third weeks of December, resulting in a disappointing 2019 holiday season overall," commented Ed Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company's actual financial results for the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter and full fiscal year ending February 1, 2020, are subject to completion of the period, finalization of its normal quarter-end and year-end accounting procedures, and the audit of its fiscal 2019 financial statements. The Company currently expects to report its actual results for the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter and full fiscal year on or about March 12, 2020.
