Big Lots, Inc. (NYSE: BIG) 21.1% LOWER; now expect Q1 U.S. comparable store sales to be slightly negative compared to our prior guidance issued on March 2, 2012, which estimated a comparable store sales increase of 2% to 4%. U.S. comparable store sales were on plan through the first six weeks of the quarter; however, sales compared to plan began to slow in late March and trends have further softened as we moved through the month of April. From a merchandising perspective, furniture, hardlines, and seasonal, particularly lawn and garden, have been our best performing businesses; whereas, consumables and play n' wear, particularly electronics, are currently below expectations for the quarter. In terms of our recently acquired Canadian operations, based on results quarter-to-date, we anticipate retail sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 will be slightly above our guidance which estimated sales in the range of $25 to $30 million.
