Dennis, Chairman, President, and CEO of Genesco stated, "As we expected, easier comparisons in our U.S.-based retail businesses as the third quarter progressed allowed for a modest improvement in consolidated comparable sales relative to recent quarters and overall results in line with our expectations. Comparable sales for the fourth quarter to date through Tuesday, December 3, were flat.  Because the retail environment remains somewhat choppy and the calendar shifts make meaningful comparisons difficult, we are adopting a slightly more cautious outlook for the balance of the year." He concluded, "We recently updated our 5-year plan and now expect annual sales to hit $3.9 billion and operating margins to be approximately 9% to 9.5% by Fiscal 2018."
