Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) Sees 2% Decline in FY11 Sales, EPS to Miss Views

October 10, 2011 7:01 AM EDT
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG), expects to report a 2 percent decline in sales for fiscal 2011 when it issues its full-year financial results on November 8. The sales shortfall, coupled with associated gross margin pressure, will likely result in adjusted net earnings in a range of approximately $2.70 to $2.75 per share.

The Street is currently looking for EPS of $2.98.

The reduced outlook stems primarily from an unexpected year-over-year decline in consumer purchases in the U.S. during September.
