COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 23, 2017 - DSW Inc. (NYSE: DSW), a leading branded footwear and accessories retailer, announced financial results for the thirteen week period ended April 29, 2017, compared to the thirteen week period ended April 30, 2016.
Roger Rawlins, Chief Executive Officer stated, "First quarter sales were challenging, but trends improved during the quarter with comps turning positive in April. As expected, planned clearance activity and the addition of Ebuys drove lower gross margin and operating income. The investments we have made in our digital capabilities, such as our redesigned website and mobile app, drove robust growth in digital demand. We are intently focused on driving sequential top line improvements through key product and customer initiatives while balancing strategic investments with disciplined expense management."

(1) | Related to the step-up of the value of Ebuys' inventory, which is recorded in gross profit. |
(2) | Related to costs associated with the acquisition of Ebuys and the amortization expense associated with $38.7 million of acquired intangibles, which are recorded within operating expenses. |
(3) | The Company agreed to pay additional amounts to Ebuys contingent upon achievement of certain negotiated goals. The Company has recognized a liability for this contingent consideration based on the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition with any differences between the acquisition-date fair value and the ultimate settlement of the obligations being recognized as an adjustment to income from operations. |
(4) | Relates to the Company's expense management initiative as recorded within operating expenses. |
(5) Relates to foreign exchange loss on Canadian dollar investments related to the funding of our upcoming Town Shoes acquisition.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to earnings per share and net income determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), for purposes of evaluating operating performance, the Company uses adjusted earnings per share and net income, which adjust for the effects of acquisition costs and the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets related to the Ebuys acquisition, restructuring costs related to the Company's expense management initiative, as well as foreign currency loss on Canadian dollar investments. The unaudited reconciliation of adjusted results should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that this non-GAAP information is useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, when reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP statements. These amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be used exclusively in evaluating the Company’s business and operations.
