May 20 (Reuters) - Casual Male Retail Group Inc (CMRG.O) reported a quarterly profit that beat expectations as it boosted margins through tight cost controls, and the men's apparel retailer raised its earnings view for the current financial year.

For 2010, the retailer, which has been cutting costs and tightly managing inventories to counter sales declines, now expects to earn 26 cents to 29 cents a share. It had earlier forecast a profit of 23 cents to 26 cents a share.

Analysts on average had forecast a profit of 26 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S..

"While customers continue to be mindful of their discretionary spending on apparel, we are seeing an increased willingness to spend when the weather is favorable," CEO David Levin said in a statement.

For the first quarter ended May 1, the company earned $4.2 million, or 9 cents a share, compared with $0.3 million, or 1 cent a share, a year ago.

Sales fell 3 percent to $95 million.

Analysts on average had expected earnings of 6 cents a share on revenue of $94.2 million.

Gross margin increased 330 basis points to 45.9 percent, reflecting a 280 basis point improvement in merchandise margin.

Shares of the Canton, Massachusetts-based retailer closed at $3.54 Wednesday 19 May on Nasdaq. (Reporting by Viraj Nair in Bangalore; Editing by Jarshad Kakkrakandy) (([email protected]; within U.S. +1 646 223 8780; outside U.S. +91 80 4135 5800; Reuters Messaging: [email protected]))
