THE BUCKLE, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER NET INCOME

KEARNEY, NE -- The Buckle, Inc. (NYSE: BKE) announced today that net income for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2016 was $23.1 million, or $0.48 per share ($0.48 per share on a diluted basis).

Net sales for the 13-week fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2016 decreased 10.2 percent to $243.5 million from net sales of $271.3 million for the prior year 13-week fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2015. Comparable store net sales for the 13-week period ended April 30, 2016 decreased 11.1 percent from comparable store net sales for the prior year 13-week period ended May 2, 2015. Online sales decreased 2.8 percent to $23.5 million for the 13-week period ended April 30, 2016, compared to net sales of $24.2 million for the 13-week period ended May 2, 2015.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $23.1 million, or $0.48 per share ($0.48 per share on a diluted basis), compared with $33.6 million, or $0.70 per share ($0.70 per share on a diluted basis) for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Please note that net sales for the 13-week fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2016 are net of a $3.0 million adjustment recorded as a reduction to revenue to accrue for estimated future rewards related to the Company’s new Guest Loyalty program, which launched during the quarter. Absent the impact of this adjustment for estimated future rewards, total net sales for the quarter were down 9.1 percent and comparable store net sales were down 10.0 percent. Despite the impact on reported sales, the Company is excited about the many potential benefits Guest Loyalty will provide to both Buckle and its guests.

Management will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. EDT today to discuss results for the quarter. To participate in the call, please call (800) 230-1092 for domestic calls or (612) 332-0107 for international calls and reference the conference code 393064. A replay of the call will be available for a two-week period beginning today at 12:00 p.m. EDT by calling (800) 475-6701 for domestic calls or (320) 365-3844 for international calls and entering the conference code 393064.
