DALLAS, Oct 9, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- TUES | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Tuesday Morning Corporation (Nasdaq:TUES) today reported net sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $165.9 million compared to $173.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 4.3%. Comparable store sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased by 5.8%, comprised of a 1.7% decrease in traffic and a 4.1% decrease in average ticket.

Based on the first quarter sales results, the Company currently expects the loss per share for the first quarter ended September 30, 2009 to be in the range of $0.11 to $0.13. The loss per share was $0.10 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

"Credit and housing woes continued to impact the discretionary spending behavior of our customers," said Kathleen Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The quarter started slowly during the 'cash for clunkers' program, but picked up in September. Our trend in comparable store sales and customer traffic continued to improve. We successfully managed inventory and kept expenses in line with revenues. Our balance sheet improved with low usage and high availability on our line of credit."

The Company expects to release first quarter financial results on October 27, 2009.
