The company continues to project that fiscal 2010 net income will be in the range of $40 to $50 million or $0.80 to $1.01 per diluted share. Consolidated net sales are now projected to be lower between years primarily due to the absence of hurricane related sales of portable generators and selected price reductions to reflect projected lower commodity costs.
Analysts expect the company to earn $0.93 per share.
