RadioShack Corporation Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

Fort Worth, Texas — July 19, 2005 — RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) today announced net income of $52.3 million or $0.33 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 versus net income of $68.3 million or $0.42 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Total sales in the second quarter of 2005 were up 4% to $1,092.2 million, compared to total sales of $1,053.8 million for the previous year. Second quarter 2005 comparable store sales were down 1% versus the prior year.

“Our profit decline in the second quarter was driven by lower comp store sales and more specifically by weakness in our core store wireless business,” said David Edmondson, president and chief executive officer. “Nevertheless, non-wireless product lines and key initiatives, such as our store standard operating procedures and new store format, are performing well and this gives us confidence in the future.”

Total wireless sales were up 2% due to growth in RadioShack’s kiosk channel offset by a decline in sales of wireless in its company stores. Most of the company’s seven merchandise platforms realized both a sales and gross profit dollar increase for the second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses were up, as planned, 7% due primarily to new growth channels such as our kiosks.

RadioShack reiterated its fiscal year 2005 diluted earnings per share guidance of $1.80 to $1.90. The annual guidance is predicated upon a number of year-over-year assumptions.

“Our outlook for the year reflects a rebound in same store sales driven primarily by rapidly growing categories which tend to carry lower gross margins than the company average. We also expect continued progress in our close-to-core growth channels,” Edmondson said.

In addition, RadioShack anticipates 2005 free cash flow(1) of approximately $180 million to $200 million.

Today at 9:00 a.m. ET, management will host a conference call for interested investors followed by a question and answer period. The public is invited to listen to the call live on the Internet at www.radioshackcorporation.com on the Investor Relations page.
