on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements relating to the Company&rsquo;s
strategic initiatives and adjusted net income per diluted share. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's
current expectations and assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance
to differ materially. Some of these risks and uncertainties are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including in the &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; section of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2015. Included among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the
risk that the Company will be unsuccessful in gauging fashion trends and changing consumer preferences, the risks resulting from
the highly competitive nature of the Company&rsquo;s business and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected
by weakness in the economy that continues to affect the Company&rsquo;s target customer, the risk that the Company&rsquo;s strategic
initiatives to increase sales and margin are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk that the cost of raw
materials or energy prices will increase beyond current expectations or that the Company is unable to offset cost increases through
value engineering or price increases, and the uncertainty of weather patterns. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to release
publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The inclusion of any statement in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not
constitute an admission by the Company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
&ldquo;We delivered adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.93 in the third quarter compared to $1.82 in the third quarter of
2014. Comparable retail sales were negative (3.0%), primarily driven by unseasonably warm weather across most of the United States.
&nbsp;Despite this challenge, we leveraged adjusted gross margin by 60 basis points, adjusted SG&amp;A by 60 basis points and adjusted
operating margin by 80 basis points compared to last year. Importantly, our inventories are well controlled, down 4.4% at quarter-end
compared to last year.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Elfers stated, &ldquo;Comparable retail sales are running positive
4.5% quarter to date, representing approximately 50% of our planned sales volume for the fourth quarter. Our quarter to date results
are being driven by increases in key retail selling metrics despite continued weakness in traffic.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Elfers continued, &ldquo;The systems investments we have made
in state of the art assortment planning, inventory allocation and replenishment tools are delivering results. Our digital initiatives
continue to gain traction; we implemented a new distributed order management system in the third quarter which is a key component
of our omni-channel strategy. Our fleet rationalization initiative is on track and we expect to close 200 stores through 2017.
&nbsp;Our wholesale and international businesses continue to expand; we recently announced a new partnership with El Palacio de
Hierro to open free-standing stores and shop in shops in Mexico, with the first successful opening occurring last month. And today,
our Board authorized a new $250 million share repurchase and declared a quarterly dividend. &nbsp;This new authorization and dividend
reflect our Company&rsquo;s commitment to return excess capital to our shareholders.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Elfers concluded, &ldquo;In summary, we believe the benefits
we are realizing from our multi-pronged transformation strategy are enabling us to navigate through a difficult retail environment.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><I>This press release (and the above referenced call) may contain
certain forward-looking statements regarding future circumstances, including statements relating to the Company&rsquo;s strategic
initiatives and adjusted net income per diluted share. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's current expectations

Children&rsquo;s Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE),</B> the largest pure-play children&rsquo;s specialty apparel retailer in North America,
today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a&nbsp;new $250 million&nbsp;share repurchase program and has declared
a quarterly dividend.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
&quot;Since 2009, we have returned over&nbsp;$582 million&nbsp;to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. The continuation
of our quarterly dividend and the new share repurchase authorization reflect our confidence in our ability to execute on our strategic
initiatives and our continuing commitment to return excess capital to shareholders.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share
to be paid January 7, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 17, 2015. Future declarations of quarterly
dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to approval by the Company&rsquo;s Board of Directors
based on a number of factors, including business and market conditions, the Company&rsquo;s future financial performance and other
investment priorities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The share repurchase authorization announced today permits the
Company to repurchase shares in the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase or in privately negotiated transactions.
The timing and actual number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate
and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the program at
any time, and may thereafter reinstitute purchases, all without prior announcement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><I>This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements
regarding future circumstances, including statements relating to the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives and adjusted net income
per diluted share. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's current expectations and assumptions and are subject
to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially. Some of these risks and
uncertainties are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the &ldquo;Risk
Factors&rdquo; section of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015. Included among the risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the risk that the Company will be unsuccessful
in gauging fashion trends and changing consumer preferences, the risks resulting from the highly competitive nature of the Company&rsquo;s
business and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by the weakness in the economy that continues
to affect the Company&rsquo;s target customer, the risk that the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives to increase sales and margin
are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk that the cost of raw materials or energy prices will increase
beyond current expectations or that the Company is unable to offset cost increases through value engineering or price increases,
and the uncertainty of weather patterns. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events. The inclusion of any statement in this release does not constitute an admission by the Company or any
other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.</I></P>
