“We are on track with our transformational acquisition and have made progress on our key milestones in fiscal 2007 and expect to continue this success into fiscal 2008,” said chairman and CEO Jeff Noddle. “From a financial standpoint, we expect to deliver double-digit earnings accretion in both fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 as we capture the potential of the new Supervalu.”
Noddle added that identical store sales had continued to improve, with same-store sales on a combined basis expected to be up 1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 which ends on 24 February.
