RADIOSHACK CORPORATION REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
 
FORT WORTH, Texas, April 25, 2011 - RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH ) a leading national retailer of innovative mobile and technology products, services and accessories, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
 
Total net sales and operating revenues for the 2011 first quarter increased 2.1% to $1.06 billion, compared to $1.04 billion for the 2010 first quarter.  Net income for the first quarter declined to $35.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $50.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, reported for the same period last year.  Net income in the 2011 first quarter included costs associated with the early retirement of debt totaling $4.1 million ($2.5 million after tax) or $0.02 per diluted share.
 
“The 11 percent growth in our mobility business this quarter once again demonstrates our unique capabilities to navigate technology change, and to help customers select the right technology and connectivity solutions for their lives,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Julian Day.  “Consumers increasingly rely on their mobile devices for a broad array of uses from basic voice to highly bandwidth-intensive applications.  Our focus continues to be on a needs-based selling approach that considers the requirements of an individual across a wide range of variables.  Partnering with our customers to help them navigate these complex choices presents a clear opportunity for The Shack® and is one of the reasons we continue to prosper in this space.”
 
Jim Gooch, President and Chief Financial Officer, said, “Despite a challenging economy and tough weather conditions, our first quarter results were generally in line with our internal expectations.  We expect the softness in our business to continue during the second quarter before we begin to see the benefits of our merchandising and sales initiatives improving both revenue and income trends in the back half of the year. In addition, growth in our mobility business will be aided by our tablet computer offerings, which are being introduced this month.”
 
RadioShack ended the first quarter with a cash balance of $326.2 million.  The cash position reflects the early redemption of the May 2011 notes for $310.9 million on March 4, 2011.  Inventories stood at $737.9 million at the end of the quarter, up $14.2 million compared to inventory at year-end 2010 and up $49.2 million compared to the end of the 2010 first quarter.  The increased investment in inventory supports the rollout of the Target Mobile program along with continued growth in the mobility platform.  Capital expenditures in the 2011 first quarter totaled $14.5 million, compared to $12.3 million in the 2010 first quarter.

In February 2011, RadioShack informed T-Mobile that it had materially breached its contract with the Company.  RadioShack continues to work closely with T-Mobile to resolve the breaches; discussions are constructive and RadioShack expects the matter to be resolved.
 
Outlook

RadioShack currently expects full-year 2011 diluted EPS to be in the range of $1.60 to $1.80 per share (previous guidance was for full-year 2011 diluted EPS in the range of $1.60 to $1.90).  RadioShack continues to expect total net sales and operating revenues will increase in the low- to mid-single-digit percent range in 2011, primarily driven by continued growth in the mobility platform. At this time, RadioShack continues to anticipate capital expenditures to be in the range of $100 million to $125 million in 2011.
 
Actual results may differ from this guidance due to significant events that may occur during the year, the nature, timing and financial impact of which are not yet known.

First-Quarter 2011 Results

The 2.1%, or $21.6 million, increase in total net sales and operating revenues for the 2011 first quarter (three months ended March 31, 2011) was driven by a $28.9 million increase in sales generated by kiosks.  This increase in sales was partially offset by a decline of $4.5 million in sales generated by U.S. company-operated stores and a decline of $2.8 million in other sales.
 
The increase in kiosk sales reflects the rollout of the Company’s Target Mobile centers.  At March 31, 2011, RadioShack operated 887 Target Mobile centers inside Target stores compared to 104 at March 31, 2010.  The Company expects to expand Target Mobile to approximately 1,450 locations by the end of June 2011.
 
Comparable store sales for company-operated stores and kiosks decreased 0.6%, which was primarily attributable to the decline in T-Mobile postpaid wireless sales.  Lower sales of television digital-to-analog converter boxes and related television antennas, digital televisions, and digital music players contributed to the decrease in sales.  These decreases were partially offset by higher postpaid wireless sales from other carriers.
 
Consolidated gross profit for the 2011 first quarter was $476.0 million, or 44.8% of net sales, compared with $491.9 million, or 47.2% of net sales, for the 2010 first quarter.  The first quarter gross margin was negatively impacted by a change in our sales mix towards certain lower margin mobile devices, and the underperformance of the Company’s T-Mobile postpaid business.
 
Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the 2011 first quarter were $386.0 million, or 36.3% of sales, compared with $380.7 million, or 36.5% of sales, for the 2010 first quarter.  The increase in SG&A expenses in the first quarter resulted primarily from higher employee infrastructure costs to support the Target Mobile rollout, which was partially offset by decreased stock-based compensation expense.
 
First-quarter 2011 operating income was $71.1 million, or 6.7% of sales, compared with first-quarter 2010 operating income of $90.8 million, or 8.7% of sales.

Product Platform Consolidation
 
To reflect more closely how the Company manages its merchandise and product assortment, RadioShack has consolidated its product platform reporting structure into three platforms:  mobility, signature and consumer electronics.
 
These platforms include the following product categories and reflect distinctive merchandising strategies:
 
Mobility:  The mobility platform consists of many products and services that were formerly in the wireless platform. The mobility platform includes postpaid and prepaid wireless handsets, commissions, residual income, prepaid wireless airtime, e-readers, netbooks with embedded network capability and tablet computers. The GPS and scanners categories, which were previously included in the wireless platform, are now included in the consumer electronics platform.
 
The Company’s goal is to participate fully in the growth and expansion of mobility products through its position as a multiple-carrier wireless retailer and through the introduction of new mobility products like e-readers and tablet computers.
 
Signature:  The signature platform consists of many products and services that were previously in the accessory, power, service and technical platforms. The signature platform includes wireless accessories, music accessories, computer and video game accessories, home entertainment accessories (including digital television converter boxes), general purpose and special purpose power products, technical products, and services. The prepaid wireless airtime category, which was previously included in the service platform, is now included in the mobility platform.
 
Signature products generally enhance the usability of both mobility and consumer electronics products and represent categories where RadioShack has established high consumer awareness as a destination for these products.  The Company plans to reinvest in this platform through expanded assortments, enhanced in-store fixtures and displays, more targeted consumer outreach, and through enhancements to store personnel incentive compensation plans.
 
Consumer Electronics:  The consumer electronics platform consists of many products and services that were formerly in the personal electronics and modern home platforms. The consumer electronics platform includes digital music players, personal computing products, laptop computers, cameras, residential telephones, home audio, digital televisions and other consumer electronics products. The e-readers category, which was previously included in the personal electronics platform, is now included in the mobility platform. The tablet computers category and netbooks with embedded network capability category, which were previously included in the modern home platform, are now included in the mobility platform.
 
Today, this platform tends to be made up of relatively mature product categories.  The Company will manage this platform opportunistically by selectively increasing or decreasing product assortments in relation to product sales trends and new product technology.
 
Additional information regarding the product platform consolidation is available on the Company’s Investor Relations website at http://ir.radioshackcorporation.com and in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q, filed today, for the period ended March 31, 2011.
