MCCALL (615) 367-8283 GENESCO REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL 2006 RESULTS --COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER DILUTED EPS BEFORE DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF $1.15 AND FISCAL 2006 DILUTED EPS BEFORE DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF $2.38-- NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 2, 2006 -- Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) today reported earnings before discontinued operations of $31.2 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended January 28, 2006. Earnings before discontinued operations were $25.4 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended January 29, 2005. Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 increased 15% to $406 million compared to $353 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. For the fiscal year ended January 28, 2006, the Company reported earnings before discontinued operations of $62.6 million, or $2.38 per diluted share. Earnings before discontinued operations were $48.5 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, in fiscal 2005. Net sales for fiscal 2006 increased 15% to $1.28 billion compared to $1.11 billion for fiscal 2005. Genesco Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Hal N. Pennington, said, "A strong fourth quarter concluded another strong year for Genesco. During the year we successfully executed our strategic plan, enhancing our leadership position in the market by opening 155 net new stores, expanding our mall and non-mall presence, and launching a test of a promising new retail concept. At the same time, we increased sales by 15%, expanded margins and generated double digit bottom line growth. These results reflect the talent and dedication of the entire Genesco organization. "Net sales at Journeys increased 17.5% to approximately $193 million in the fourth quarter, same store sales rose more than 10% and footwear unit comps increased 12%. Fashion athletic, fusion, board sport and women's fashion and casual footwear all performed well in the quarter. With more than 700 stores, an unparalleled selection of product, powerful vendor relationships and a world class merchandising team, Journeys remains the destination retailer for teenagers and young adults for footwear and accessories. Its success in both mall and non-mall locations -- including lifestyle centers, outlets and city streets -- supports its potential for ongoing growth. "An important component of our growth strategy is to leverage our platform and extend our brand strength and expertise across new concepts. In doing so, we see the opportunity to grow with our customer from toddler to teenager to adult. We have been successful with Journeys Kidz and we are now planning a more aggressive store roll-out for it in fiscal 2007. We have recently opened our first Shi by Journeys store designed to cater to fashionable women in their early 20s to mid 30s, continuing to serve an important Journeys customer as her tastes, needs and lifestyle change. While it is still very early in the testing process, we are encouraged by the store's initial performance. "Hat World registered another strong quarter, with total sales up 21% to $98 million. Same store sales rose 6%, matching a 6% gain in the same period last year that was driven in part by strong demand for Boston Red Sox products associated with the team's 2005 World Series victory. The Major League Baseball and NFL categories continued to perform well in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. We continue to roll out embroidery machines, which represent an attractive add-on business in the larger stores. Given its versatility, illustrated by successful operations not only in malls, but also in airports, outlets, street locations, tourist destinations and kiosks, we remain confident about Hat World's significant growth potential. We plan to open 85 new Lids locations in fiscal 2007 and believe that we can eventually grow this chain to at least 900 stores in North America. "Net sales for the Underground Station Group, which includes Jarman, increased 7% to $54 million and comparable store sales rose 4% in the fourth quarter. Underground Station posted a solid 6% comparable store gain, primarily driven by increased average selling prices. Throughout the year, the Underground Station team continued to execute its long-term strategic plan, growing the number of Underground Station locations while reducing the Jarman store base in a financially prudent manner. We ended the year with 180 Underground Station stores, up approximately 9% from the previous year, and 49 Jarman stores, roughly half the number of Jarman stores in operation two years ago. We are pleased with our progress at Underground Station and remain encouraged about its prospects for the future. "Johnston & Murphy continued to deliver improved results during the fourth quarter, with net sales increasing 9% to $49 million and same store sales up 9%. Johnston & Murphy's performance for both the fourth quarter and the year was driven by meaningful gains in dress casual and casual footwear, coupled with growth in non footwear categories, which now include luggage, belts, socks, outerwear and personal leather goods. Over the past two years we have worked hard to reposition the Johnston & Murphy brand to broaden its appeal and attract new consumers, while at the same time driving gains in gross margin and profitability. Our results reflect our success so far, and we will continue to focus on improving our operations. "Fourth quarter sales of Licensed Brands were $14 million, essentially flat with a year ago and in line with our projections. Early indications of stronger demand for Dockers Footwear's spring product make us optimistic about the opportunities for improvements in the business in the upcoming year." Genesco also reaffirmed its fiscal 2007 guidance. The Company now expects sales of approximately $1.46 billion for the year and diluted earnings per share to be approximately $2.62. The earnings per share estimate includes expected FAS 123 (R) stock incentive expense and the amortization of recently granted restricted stock totaling approximately $0.17 per share. Last year's EPS reflected expenses of $0.01 per share related to employee restricted stock grants in the third quarter. This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the Company's sales and earnings outlook and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. A number of factors could cause differences. These include weakness in consumer demand for products sold by the Company, fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings, changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period to period sales comparisons, changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers, disruptions in product supply or distribution, further unfavorable trends in foreign exchange rates and other factors affecting the cost of products, changes in business strategies by the Company's competitors (including pricing and promotional discounts), the ability to open, staff and support additional retail stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels and to renew leases in existing stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels, variations from expected pension-related charges caused by conditions in the financial markets, and the outcome of litigation and environmental matters involving the Company. Forward-looking statements reflect the expectations of the Company at the time they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to update such statements.
