Jeffries had come under fire for many quarters of declining same-store sales at the once-edgy retailer. While comparable store sales fell for the ninth straight quarter, the 4 percent decline in the first quarter was lower than in any quarter last fiscal. Rival American Eagle Outfitters last week reported a 10 percent decline in comparable-store sales. Abercrombie's first-quarter sales fell 2 percent to $822.4 million, beating analysts' average estimate of $798.2 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The company's net loss more than tripled to $23.7 million, or 32 cents per share, due to restructuring charges. Excluding items, Abercrombie's loss of 17 cents per share was narrower than the 19 cents analysts were expecting. Abercrombie's shares were up 4.4 percent at $36.66 in late morning trading on Thursday.
