      NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) today reported earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2015, of $51.8 million, or $2.18 per diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $42.2 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended February 1, 2014. Fiscal 2015 fourth quarter results reflect pretax items of $1.9 million, or $0.12 per share after tax, including $1.0 million of expenses related to deferred purchase price payments in connection with the acquisition of Schuh Group Limited, which are required to be expensed as compensation because the payment is contingent upon the payees' continued employment; and $0.9 million for network intrusion expenses and asset impairment charges. Fiscal 2014 fourth quarter results reflect pretax items of $7.2 million, or $0.37 per share after tax, including $3.0 million of expenses related to deferred purchase price payments in connection with the acquisition of Schuh Group Limited, and $5.7 million for network intrusion expenses, other legal matters, a lease termination, and asset impairment charges, partially offset by a $1.5 million gain related to the change in accounting for deferred bonuses under the Company's EVA incentive plan announced by the Company in September 2013.

      Adjusted for the items described above in both periods, earnings from continuing operations were $54.7 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $51.0 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014.   For consistency with Fiscal 2015's previously announced earnings expectations and with previously reported adjusted results for the prior year period, the Company believes that the disclosure of the results from continuing operations adjusted for these items will be useful to investors. A reconciliation of earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles with the adjusted earnings and earnings per share numbers presented in this paragraph is set forth on Schedule B to this press release.

      Net sales for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015 increased 12.6% to $893 million from $793 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014.  Comparable sales in the fourth quarter 2015 increased 10% for the Company with a 16% increase in the Journeys Group, a 7% increase in the Lids Sports Group, a 3% increase in the Schuh Group, and a 2% increase in the Johnston & Murphy Group.

      The Company also reported net sales for the year ended January 31, 2015, of $2.86 billion, an increase of 8.9% from net sales of $2.62 billion for the year ended February 1, 2014.  Earnings from continuing operations for Fiscal 2015 were $99.4 million, or $4.19 per diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $93.0 million, or $3.94 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2014. Fiscal 2015 earnings reflect after-tax charges of $0.55 per diluted share, including, an indemnification asset write-off, network intrusion-related expenses, compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price, effects of the change in accounting for deferred bonuses under the EVA incentive plan, asset impairments, other legal matters, partially offset by a gain on a lease termination.  Fiscal 2014 earnings reflect after-tax charges of $1.15 per diluted share, including the effects of the change in accounting for deferred bonuses under the EVA incentive plan, network intrusion-related expenses, compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price, asset impairments, other legal matters, and a lease termination, partially offset by a gain on another lease termination.

      Adjusted for the listed items in both years, earnings from continuing operations were $112.3 million, or $4.74 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2015, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $120.3 million, or $5.09 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2014. For consistency with previously announced earnings expectations, which did not reflect the listed items, the Company believes that disclosure of earnings from continuing operations adjusted for those items will be useful to investors. A reconciliation of the adjusted financial measures to their corresponding measures as reported pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is included in Schedule B to this press release.

      Robert J. Dennis, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Genesco, said, "Fourth quarter sales were strong, exceeding our expectations.  However, gross margin pressure, lower than planned contribution from new stores and acquisitions in the Lids Sports Group and unfavorable trends in foreign exchange rates resulted in disappointing earnings.

      "Comparable sales for the first quarter through Saturday, March 7, 2015, were up a solid 5% from the same period last year, despite the effects of severe winter storms in several of our key markets in February and early March.

      "Based on the continued challenges in the Lids Sports Group combined with foreign exchange headwinds and supply chain uncertainties from the backlog related to recent West Coast port delays, we believe it is prudent to adopt a more conservative outlook for Fiscal 2016. We now expect adjusted Fiscal 2016 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.10 to $5.20, which represents a 8% to 10% increase over Fiscal 2015's adjusted earnings per share of $4.74. Consistent with previous guidance, these expectations do not include expected non-cash asset impairments and other charges, which are estimated in the range of $5.8 million to $6.3 million pretax, or $0.16 to $0.17 per share, after tax, in Fiscal 2016. This guidance assumes comparable sales increases in the 3% to 4% range for the full fiscal year." A reconciliation of the adjusted financial measures cited in the guidance to their corresponding measures as reported pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is included in Schedule B to this press release.

      Dennis concluded, "While our bottom line results for Fiscal 2015 were lower than we planned, we are pleased with the health of our footwear businesses, and especially with Journeys' continuing strength.  At the same time, we are confident that the Lids Sports Group's strategic potential remains considerable despite current competitive and operational issues and are focused on improving the Group's long-term profitability."

      Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
      This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the performance outlook for the Company and its individual businesses (including, without limitation, sales, expenses, margins and earnings) 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 adjustments to estimates reflected in forward-looking statements, including the timing and amount of non-cash asset impairments related to retail store fixed assets or to intangible assets of acquired businesses; the effectiveness of our omnichannel initiatives; the timing and effectiveness of plans to improve the performance of  Lids Sports Group;  weakness in the consumer economy; competition in the Company's markets; inability of customers to obtain credit; fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings; changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers; bankruptcies or deterioration in financial condition of significant wholesale customers; disruptions in product supply or distribution; unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs, and other factors affecting the cost of products; the Company's ability to continue to complete and integrate acquisitions, expand its business and diversify its product base; changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period-to-period sales comparisons; the effects of storms and other weather-related disruptions; and the performance of athletic teams, the participants in major sporting events such as the Super Bowl and World Series, developments with respect to certain individual athletes, and other sports-related events or changes that may affect period-to-period comparisons in the Company's Lids Sports Group retail business. Additional factors that could affect the Company's prospects and cause differences from expectations include the ability to build, open, staff and support additional retail stores and to renew leases in existing stores and control occupancy costs, and to conduct required remodeling or refurbishment on schedule and at expected expense levels; deterioration in the performance of individual businesses or of the Company's market value relative to its book value, resulting in impairments of fixed assets or intangible assets or other adverse financial consequences; unexpected changes to the market for the Company's shares; variations from expected pension-related charges caused by conditions in the financial markets; and the cost and outcome of litigation, investigations and environmental matters involving the Company. Additional factors are cited in the "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of, and elsewhere in, our SEC filings, copies of which may be obtained from the SEC website, www.sec.gov, or by contacting the investor relations department of Genesco via our website, www.genesco.com. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of the subject matter of this release are beyond Genesco's ability to control or predict. Genesco undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Forward-looking statements reflect the expectations of the Company at the time they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to update such statements.
