TRANS WORLD ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND
FISCAL YEAR RESULTS

Net Income for the Quarter Increased By 34%

Reports $33 Million Year-Over-Year Improvement in Net Income

          Albany, NY, March 1, 2012 — Trans World Entertainment Corporation (Nasdaq: TWMC) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended January 28, 2012. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reported a 34% increase in net income to $16.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

          Comparable store sales for the quarter were down 1% compared to the same quarter last year. For the quarter, total sales decreased 17% to $193.1 million compared to $231.3 million in 2010. During the quarter, the Company operated an average of 427 stores compared to 514 stores last year, a 17% decline.

          “The fourth quarter marked our eighth consecutive quarter of improved operating results.” said Robert J. Higgins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Trans World Entertainment. “Our strong fourth quarter results drove the Company’s return to profitability in fiscal 2011. These results reflect the commitment, hard work and dedication of our associates, who provide our customers with a strong selection, value and exceptional customer service. We look forward to continued success in fiscal 2012.”

          Gross profit for the quarter was $69.2 million, or 35.8% of sales, as compared to $78.2 million, or 33.8%, of sales for the same period last year. The 200 basis point increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to higher margin rates across all product categories.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 16% for the quarter to $50.5 million or 26.2% of sales, compared to $60.3 million, or 26.1% of sales in the comparable period last year. The reduction in SG&A expenses was due to the closing of underperforming stores and continued effective expense management.

          For fiscal year 2011, the Company reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $31.0 million, or a $0.99 loss per share last year.

          For fiscal year 2011, total sales decreased 17% to $542.6 million, compared to $652.4 million in 2010. Comparable store sales for fiscal year 2011 decreased 2%.


          Gross profit for the fiscal year was $198.2 million, or 36.5% of sales, as compared to $219.4 million, or 33.6%, of sales for the same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 20% for the fiscal year to $186.7 million or 34.4% of sales, compared to $233.7 million, or 35.8% of sales in the comparable period last year.

          The Company did not borrow under its line of credit in fiscal 2011. Cash on hand at the end of the quarter was $88.5 million, compared to $75.2 million at January 29, 2011. Inventory was $191.3 million at the end of the quarter versus $234.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of last year, a decline of 18%.
