FINANCIAL RESULTS
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 6, 2006/PRNewswire/ — DSW Inc. (NYSE: DSW), a leading branded footwear specialty retailer, announced net income of $17.5 million on net sales of $316.5 million for the fiscal first quarter ended April 29, 2006, compared with net income of $7.0 million on net sales of $281.8 million for the comparable period last year.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.40 for the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared with $0.25 for last year’s first quarter.
The first quarter 2005 results include $2.7 million of interest expense on a dividend note to the Company’s controlling shareholder, Retail Ventures, Inc. (NYSE: RVI), and $6.5 million for the accrual for losses associated with the data theft announced March 2005. After adjusting for the dividend interest, the data theft accrual and the significant increase in shares as a result of the initial public offering in June 2005, pro forma net income for the first quarter of 2005 was $12.5 million, or $0.28 per share. The exhibit at the end of this release reconciles the non-GAAP pro forma net income and diluted earnings per share to the reported net income and diluted earnings per share for first quarter 2005.
Comparable store sales for the first quarter of 2006 increased 4.2% compared with the same period last year.
2006 Outlook
Based on the first quarter performance reported today, the Company raised its current estimate for fiscal 2006 annual diluted earnings per share to a range of $1.24 to $1.27, up from its previous estimate of $1.22 to $1.25.

(1)   The Company believes the use of pro forma results provide meaningful information for the three months ended April 30, 2005 due to: i) the significant increase in share count as a result of the Company’s initial public offering on June 29, 2005, ii) the interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 attributable to a $165 million dividend note which was repaid with the proceeds of the initial public offering, and iii) the $6.5 million accrual for the data theft which was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The pro forma data is presented as if the initial public offering occurred prior to the three months ended April 30, 2005 and the dividend note interest and data theft accrual are non-recurring or unusual charges.
 
(2)   Based on the number of shares outstanding, plus the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and restricted stock units, as of the quarter ended July 30, 2005, the first quarter end following the Company’s initial public offering on June 29, 2005, and eliminates the weighting effect to equal total shares at period end.
 
(3)   The tax-effected pro forma adjustments are calculated using an approximate annual tax rate of 40%.
