Neiman Marcus quarterly profit lower

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Upscale department store Neiman Marcus posted a sharply lower quarterly profit on Wednesday as its affluent shoppers, facing a deep economic downturn, scaled back their spending.

The results from Neiman, which also reported a 14.5 percent decline in quarterly same-store sales, came as a worrying reminder that shoppers across the board were keeping their wallets tightly shut in the face of mounting job losses, tighter credit and the housing slump.

Other high-end retailers such as Tiffany & Co and Saks Inc have also faced consumer cutbacks, stoking fresh worries about the holiday shopping season, which could be the worst since the early 1990s.

Neiman's net profit was $12.9 million in the fiscal first quarter that ended Nov 1, compared to a profit of $78.6 million in the year-earlier quarter.

On an operating basis, the company posted a profit of $81.6 million, compared with $189.7 million, a year ago.

Sales fell to $986 million from $1.13 billion a year ago.

Neiman, which was acquired by a private equity group in 2005, operates about 40 namesake stores across the United States and the Bergdorf Goodman stores in New York City.
