Earnings Update by AlphaStreet

— Revenue declined by 4% to $1.22 billion versus $1.45 billion expected. This primarily reflects a comparable sales decrease of 2% for the quarter, a decline in other revenue and a decrease in non-comparable sales.

— During the quarter, Ascena incurred non-cash impairment charges of goodwill and other intangible assets. This offset in part by the benefit of cost reductions.
