Statements:</B></U> This press
release and the recorded comments on our corporate website contain
forward-looking statements regarding expected sales, earnings levels and other
financial results in future periods that are subject to risks and uncertainties
which could cause our actual results to differ materially from management&#146;s
current expectations. The estimated earnings per share for the first quarter
ended May 4, 2013 are preliminary and subject to adjustments. The words &#147;plan,&#148;

&#147;projected,&#148; &#147;guidance,&#148; &#147;looking ahead&#148; and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. Risk factors for Ross Dress for Less<SUP>&#174; </SUP>(&#147;Ross&#148;) and dd&#146;s
DISCOUNTS<SUP>&#174; </SUP>include without limitation, competitive pressures in the
apparel or home-related merchandise retailing industry; changes in the level of
consumer spending on or preferences for apparel or home-related merchandise;
impacts from the macro-economic environment and financial and credit markets
that affect consumer disposable income and consumer confidence, including but
not limited to interest rates, recession, inflation, deflation, energy costs,
tax rates and policy, unemployment trends, and fluctuating commodity costs;
changes in geopolitical and geo-economic conditions; unseasonable weather
trends; potential disruptions in supply chain or information systems; lower than
planned gross margin, including higher than planned markdowns and higher than
expected inventory shortage; greater than planned operating costs; our ability
to continue to purchase attractive brand name merchandise at desirable
discounts; attracting and retaining personnel with the retail talent necessary
to execute our strategies; effectively operating and continually upgrading our
various supply chain, core merchandising and other information systems;
improving our merchandising and transaction processing capabilities through the
implementation of new processes and systems enhancements; managing our planned
data center and headquarters moves without disruption or unanticipated costs;
obtaining acceptable new store locations and improving new store sales and
profitability, especially in newer regions and markets; adding capacity to our
existing distribution centers and building out planned additional distribution
centers timely and cost effectively; and achieving and maintaining targeted
levels of productivity and efficiency in our existing and new distribution
centers. Other risk factors are set forth in our SEC filings including without
limitation, the Form 10-K for fiscal 2012 and Form 8-Ks for fiscal 2013. The
factors underlying our forecasts are dynamic and subject to change. As a result,
our forecasts speak only as of the date they are given and do not necessarily
reflect our outlook at any other point in time. We do not undertake to update or
