West endures a bad quarter, loss of its CEO
Article Abstract:
West Marine Inc.'s founder and chairman Randy Repass took the chief executive post at the company after then CEO Crawford Cole suddenly resigned. The executive change followed the company's announcement that earnings for the second quarter of 1998 would be below analysts expectations of between 47 and 52 cents a share. The company cited poor weather, problems at its distribution center in South Carolina and a drop in catalog sales as the reason for the lower income. Meanwhile, sales at the company's stores open at least a year increased by 4.6% in the quarter and 1.2% for the five-week period ended Jul. 5, 1998.
