Moore Reports First Quarter Earnings of $0.02 Company Meets Consensus Earnings Estimates Blackwood, New Jersey, April 17, 2003 - A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACMR) sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, grew to $92.0 million, an increase of 7% over sales of $85.9 million during the first quarter of 2002. Same store sales decreased by 2%. Net income for the quarter was $420,000 or $0.02 per fully diluted share. Jack Parker, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We knew the first quarter of 2003 would be a challenge for us since we were up against a 14% comp store increase in 2002. We were impacted by both the weather and consumer uncertainty. Although we were not satisfied with the results this quarter, we are pleased with the significant progress we have made in our merchandising efforts. During this period, six main categories were re-plan-o-grammed with new and exciting merchandise offerings. We will continue this process throughout the next four months with eight additional categories to be re-set. This will put us in a very strong position for the third and fourth quarters. We remain confident that we will meet our earnings projection for the year 2003 of $0.84 to $0.88 per share based on anticipated comparable store sales growth in the range of 3% to 5%."
