GENESCO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2013 RESULTS
--Second Quarter Comparable Store Sales Increased 4%--
-- Company Raises Fiscal 2013 Outlook--
--Announces New Share Repurchase Authorization--

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 29, 2012 --- Genesco Inc. (NYSE:GCO) today reported earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter ended July 28, 2012, of $10.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended July 30, 2011. Fiscal 2013 second quarter results reflect pretax items of $3.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share after tax, primarily including compensation expenses related to deferred purchase price payments in connection with the acquisition of Schuh Group Limited in June 2011, decreased by tax rate adjustments, and asset impairment charges. As previously announced, because the obligation to pay the deferred purchase price for Schuh is contingent upon the continued employment of the payees, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that it be treated as compensation expense. Last year, second quarter results included $8.1 million pretax, or $0.21 per diluted share after tax, of acquisition-related expenses including deferred purchase price, decreased by a tax rate adjustment, and asset impairment charges.

Adjusted for the items described above in both periods, earnings from continuing operations were $12.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of Fiscal 2013, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $5.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the second quarter of Fiscal 2012. For consistency with Fiscal 2013'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. Additionally, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings from continuing operations before the compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price will enable investors to understand the effect attributable to incorporating a continuing employment condition into the obligation to pay deferred purchase price. 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 second quarter of Fiscal 2013 increased 15% to $543.5 million from $470.6 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2012, reflecting the addition of sales from Schuh Group and a comparable store sales increase of 4%.  The Lids Sports Group's comparable store sales increased by 2%, the Journeys Group increased by 6%, and Johnston & Murphy Retail increased by 2%. The Schuh Group's comparable store sales increased by 9% in the month of July, the first month it was eligible for inclusion in the Company's comparable store numbers.

Robert J. Dennis, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Genesco, said, “We are pleased with the strength of our second quarter performance. We generated significant operating expense leverage on solid sales growth to deliver earnings that were ahead of expectations. With August comparable sales up 9%, the third quarter is off to an encouraging start. We believe our merchandise assortment is well positioned for the remainder of back-to-school and the upcoming holiday season.”



Exhibit 99.1


Dennis also discussed the Company's updated outlook. “Based on second quarter performance, we are raising our guidance for the year. We now expect adjusted Fiscal 2013 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.88 to $5.00, an increase from our previous guidance range of $4.70 to $4.82. The new outlook represents an increase of 19% to 22% over last year's adjusted earnings per share of $4.09. Consistent with previous guidance, these expectations do not include expected non-cash asset impairments and other charges, which are estimated in the range of $1.5 million to $2.5 million pretax, or $0.04 to $0.06 per share, after tax, in Fiscal 2013. They also do not reflect compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price as described above, which is currently estimated at approximately $12.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the full year. The revised guidance assumes a comparable sales increase in the 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, “Our strong operating performances over the last several quarters highlight the strength of our business model. While the economic conditions in each of our markets have been challenging at times, our portfolio of businesses have continued to perform well, thanks to their strategic advantages and focus on operational excellence.”

Share Repurchase Authorization

     Genesco also announced that its board of directors has authorized it to repurchase up to $75 million of the Company's common stock. The authorization replaces the remaining balance of a previous $35 million repurchase program authorized in October 2010, pursuant to which the Company has repurchased approximately 366,000 shares at a total cost of approximately $21.5 million, including approximately 346,000 shares repurchased during the second quarter this year, at a total cost of approximately $20.8 million. This program may be implemented through purchases made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, private transactions, block trades, or otherwise, or by any combination of such methods, in accordance with SEC and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, prices and sizes of purchases will depend upon prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.
