| Item 8.01. | Other Events |
OfficeMax Incorporated (the “Company”) participated in the Goldman Sachs Global Retailing Conference on September 14, 2010 where it updated its outlook for the third quarter of 2010 as follows:
| • | To date in the third quarter, as expected, the Company has experienced a year-over-year domestic retail same-store sales percentage decline that was favorable to the second quarter 2010 year-over-year domestic retail sales percentage decline of 2.1%. |
| • | The Company anticipates that for the third quarter, total Company sales will be slightly lower than the prior year’s third quarter, including the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, which is in line with the Company’s previous guidance. |
| • | The Company now anticipates that adjusted operating income margin rate for the third quarter of 2010 will be slightly higher than the prior year’s third quarter due primarily to favorable settlements of sales/use tax issues in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding these settlements, adjusted operating income margin rate for the third quarter will be in line with the Company’s previous guidance. |
