 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Business -- American Greetings first quarter earnings surge
CLEVELAND – American Greetings Corp., the nation's second-largest maker of greeting cards, said Thursday that first-quarter earnings surged fivefold from last year's quarter, which included a hefty debt retirement charge.
American Greetings raised its full-year earnings outlook to a range of $1.52 to $1.57 per share, from prior guidance of $1.46 to $1.51 per share, citing a change in the adoption date of new stock option accounting rules as well as the effects of first-quarter share repurchases.
A $45.5 million repurchase of 1.9 million shares of stock in the first quarter, the lack of income from businesses the company has sold and not getting a one-time $10 million payment that its licensing unit got last fiscal year are other reasons the quarter is expected to end in a loss, Weiss said.
