Williams-Sonoma Inc.

Williams-Sonoma Inc. (San Francisco), owner of Pottery Barn, Hold Everything and Williams-Sonoma stores, announced that its fourth-quarter profit rose slightly as cost controls overcame disappointing sales growth.

Earnings for the quarter, which ended Jan. 30, rose to $102.6 million, or 86 cents a share, from $102.1 million, or 85 cents a share, a year earlier. A change in accounting for store leases cut profit by 9 cents a share.

Revenue rose to $1.08 billion, from $1 billion, which was below company expectations.
