Office Depot has already posted a major loss and closed many stores as small businesses went broke during the recession of 2008-2009 and bank are not lending, which means slow business especially over in Europe now.
(1888PressRelease) May 14, 2010 - Office Depot saw sales fall 4.7% to $3.1bn (£1.9bn) during the three months to March 27, 2010. Operating profit came in at $56m (£36m), compared with a loss of $60m (£39m) in the first quarter of 2009.
Net profit was $29m (£19m), an improvement on the $55m (£36m) loss in the same quarter a year earlier.
"Our first quarter operating results exceeded our expectations, due primarily to a stronger than anticipated performance for the second consecutive quarter by our international division," said chief executive Mike Newman
