dELiA*s, INC. ANNOUNCES

SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

New York, NY – August 25, 2011 – dELiA*s, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLIA), a direct marketing and retail company comprised of two lifestyle brands primarily targeting teenage girls and young women, today announced the results for its second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Walter Killough, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continued to make progress during the second quarter, and the addition of Dyan Jozwick to our senior management team has already helped to accelerate some of our key merchandise initiatives. In the retail segment, we achieved our best quarterly comparable store sales performance in three years, generating a double-digit increase in May and June combined. However, merchandise margins were negatively impacted throughout the quarter, as we transitioned our product offerings and promotional strategies. In the direct segment, we cut circulation as planned, while moving dollars to alternative web-marketing vehicles and shifting circulation to the third quarter to better match the buying habits of our customers.”

Mr. Killough continued, “While a majority of our districts have not yet peaked for the Back-To-School selling season, traffic has been inconsistent compared to last year and sales performance has been mixed. As we move through Back-To-School, we plan to continue to refine the pricing and assortment in the dELiA*s Brand.”

Fiscal Second Quarter Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 2.6% to $44.3 million from $43.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue from the retail segment

increased 8.4% to $26.4 million, or 59.5% of total revenue. Revenue from the direct segment decreased 4.8% to $18.0 million, or 40.5% of total revenue.

Total gross margin decreased to 27.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 28.7% in the prior year quarter, predominantly reflecting reduced merchandise margins in the retail segment, partially offset by occupancy cost leverage.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $21.4 million, or 48.3% of sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $21.5 million, or 49.9% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales reflects selling and overhead cost leverage.

Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $9.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 of $6.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 included approximately $0.03 per diluted share in costs related to the recent change in the President of the dELiA*s Brand.

The provision for income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $50,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $2.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Results by Segment

Retail Segment Results

Total revenue for the retail segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 8.4% to $26.4 million from $24.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Retail comparable store sales increased 7.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a decrease of 6.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Gross margin for the retail segment, which includes distribution, occupancy and merchandising costs, was 16.0% compared to 16.5% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin resulted from lower merchandise margins and increased inventory obsolescence, partially offset by occupancy cost leverage.

SG&A expenses for the retail segment were $11.8 million, or 44.7% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $11.7 million, or 48.2% of sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales was driven by selling and overhead expense leverage.

The operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 for the retail segment was $7.5 million compared to $7.7 million in the prior year period.

The Company remodeled one store location during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, ending the period with 115 stores.

Direct Segment Results

Gross margin for the direct segment was 43.1% compared to 44.4% in the second quarter of the prior year, primarily resulting from decreased postage, handling and other revenue, partially offset by increased merchandise margins.

SG&A expenses for the direct segment were $9.6 million, or 53.6% of sales, compared to $9.8 million, or 52.0% of sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in SG&A expenses in dollars reflects reduced selling expenses.

The operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 for the direct segment was $1.9 million as compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period.

For the six-month period ended July 30, 2011, total revenue increased 0.3% to $93.5 million from $93.2 million for the prior year period.
