FOOT LOCKER, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER SALES

 

Third Quarter Total Sales Increased 1.6 Percent

 

Third Quarter Comparable-Store Sales Decreased 0.3 Percent

 

Third Quarter Earnings Per Share Expected to be $0.39 to $0.41

 

NEW YORK, NY, November 2, 2006 – Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, today reported sales for the 13-week period ended October 28, 2006 of $1,430 million, versus $1,408 million in the comparable period last year, an increase of 1.6 percent. For this same 13-week period, comparable store sales decreased 0.3 percent.

 

For the 39-week period ended October 28, 2006, sales increased 0.2 percent to $4,098 million, from $4,089 million in the Company’s corresponding period last year. Comparable-store sales for the Company’s first nine months of its 2006 fiscal year decreased 0.4 percent.

 

Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, total sales for the 13-week and 39-week periods increased 0.4 percent and decreased 0.2 percent, respectively.

 

“For the third quarter of 2006, each of our North American and Asia/Pacific retail store divisions posted comparable-store sales increases in the low-to-mid single digit range,” stated Matthew D. Serra, Foot Locker, Inc.’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “These results were offset by the continuation of a challenging athletic retail environment in Europe that contributed to a high single-digit comparable-store sales decline at our business in that region. We are encouraged, however, that our comparable-store sales trend in Europe improved somewhat during the month of October from the previous two months and Foot Locker Europe’s third quarter division profit margin rate is expected to be strong at the low double-digit level.”

 

Foot Locker, Inc. plans to report third quarter 2006 and year-to-date results on Thursday, November 16, 2006. The Company expects that earnings for the third quarter will be in the range of $0.39 to $0.41 per share, in line with the guidance provided at the beginning of the quarter.

 

A conference call is scheduled on Friday, November 17, 2006 for 10:00 a.m. EST to discuss these results and provide updated guidance with regard to its earnings outlook for the remainder of 2006. This conference call may be accessed live from the Investor Relations section of the Foot Locker, Inc. website at http://www.footlocker-inc.com. Please log-on to the website at least 15 minutes prior to the call in order to download any necessary software. The webcast conference call will be available for replay until 5:00 p.m. Friday, November 24, 2006. News releases are also available on the Internet at http://www.prnewswire.com or on Foot Locker, Inc.’s website at http://www.footlocker-inc.com.
