    The company said it expects first-quarter sales of $5.65 billion to $5.8 billion. Analysts expect $5.71 billion.

    "As we proceed into fiscal 2009, the economic environment remains an important consideration, but we remain cautiously optimistic," Chief Executive Robert Dutkowsky said in a statement.
