dELiA*s, INC. ANNOUNCES

SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

New York, NY – August 20, 2012 – dELiA*s, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLIA), a multi-channel retail company comprised of two lifestyle brands primarily targeting teenage girls and young women, today announced the results for its second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Highlights:

 

   

Total revenue increased 8.9% to $48.3 million from $44.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Revenue from the retail segment increased 8.8% to $28.7 million, including a comparable store sales increase of 14.0%. Revenue from the direct segment increased 9.1% to $19.6 million.

 

   

Consolidated gross margin was 33.4% compared to 27.0% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased merchandise margins and leveraging of occupancy costs.

 

   

Net loss was $5.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 of $9.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share.

Walter Killough, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are extremely pleased with our second quarter performance in both our retail and direct segments. Our results were driven by favorable customer reaction to the changes in our merchandise assortments and visual presentation for our dELiA*s brand, which led to double digit increases in both comparable store sales and in our dELiA*s direct business, as well as higher merchandise margins.”

Mr. Killough continued, “In our retail segment, based on current trends we expect mid-single digit positive comparable store sales for the month of August, with improved merchandise margins. In the dELiA*s direct business, we have released our July and August catalogs which have generated double-digit sales increases to date compared to last year. We believe our performance demonstrates that our strategic initiatives have been effective and should continue to deliver improved results.”

Results by Segment

Retail Segment Results

Total revenue for the retail segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 8.8% to $28.7 million from $26.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Retail comparable store sales increased 14.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to an increase of 7.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Gross margin for the retail segment, which includes distribution, occupancy and merchandising costs, was 26.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 16.0% in the prior year period. The increase in gross margin resulted primarily from higher merchandise margins, driven by increased full price selling and fewer markdowns, and the leveraging of reduced occupancy costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the retail segment were $11.3 million, or 39.3% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $11.8 million, or 44.7% of sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in SG&A expenses in dollars and as a percent of sales reflects the leveraging of reduced selling, overhead and depreciation expenses.

The operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 for the retail segment was $3.7 million compared to $7.5 million in the prior year period. Included in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were store closing costs of $0.3 million.

The Company closed three stores during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, ending the period with 109 stores.

Direct Segment Results

Total revenue for the direct segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 9.1% to $19.6 million from $18.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Gross margin for the direct segment was 44.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 43.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in gross margin resulted primarily from higher merchandise margins partially offset by higher shipping and handling costs.

SG&A expenses for the direct segment were $10.2 million, or 52.3% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $9.6 million, or 53.6% of sales, in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses in dollars resulted primarily from costs related to the closing of our customer contact center and additional investments in web-based marketing. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales reflects the leveraging of selling and depreciation expenses on higher sales.

Operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 for the direct segment was $1.3 million as compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. Included in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was incremental gift card breakage income of $0.3 million, and the aforementioned costs related to the closing of our customer contact center of $0.3 million.

Balance Sheet Highlights

At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012, cash and cash equivalents were $11.7 million compared with $22.2 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Total net inventories at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were $38.0 million compared with $39.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Inventory per average retail store was down 2.1% compared to the prior year period, and inventory for the direct segment was down 1.1% compared to the prior year.
