Expecting good Holiday performance

Given the positive indicators on traffic and sales from the broader industry, we expect Macy's should be able to deliver a better than expected Holiday performance. Following an improved November and strong Thanksgiving weekend, trends in December continue to be encouraging. Macy's itself announced the hire of incremental seasonal employees in response to strong trends. We believe the Q4 comp can be at least flat, and the positive trend should continue into the new year.
