Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 31, 2018, Kirkland's Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release reporting its results of operations for the first fiscal quarter ended May 5, 2018 (the "Press Release"). The Company is reaffirming its fiscal 2018 outlook provided on March 16, 2018 for diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis in the range of $0.50 to $0.60, inclusive of Chief Executive Officer transition charges.
The Company continues to expect earnings improvement in each quarter relative to fiscal 2017, with the exception of the second quarter of fiscal 2017, which included favorable one-time adjustments of $0.10 related primarily to favorable shrink results and an adjustment to capitalize one month of extra lease charges. Excluding those adjustments, the Company expects the second quarter of fiscal 2018 to be roughly in line with results from the prior year period.
A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1, and is being furnished, not filed, under item 2.02 of this Report on Form 8-K.
