Tilly’s (NYSE: TLYS) will be reporting its first-quarter financial results on May 29 after the market’s close. The general perception is that the sports apparel retailer had a lackluster start to the year. Analysts forecast a 50% decline in earnings to $0.02 per share on revenues of $128.73 million, which represents a modest year-over-year increase.
Revenues of the California-based company, which is specialized in apparels and footwear used in the action sports industry, stand to benefit from positive comparable store sales. Meanwhile, the bottom line might be negatively impacted by higher costs. In recent quarters, sales got a boost from the management’s efforts to ramp up the digital retail platform.
