Our weaker than expected earnings were the result of lower tire sales, particularly in November, driven by unseasonably warm weather across our markets. However, with recent winter weather in our markets, we are very encouraged to see that traffic and tire sales trends have rebounded, resulting in an approximate 10% increase in comparable store sales for our January fiscal month, which ended on January 23rd.”
