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 from continuing operations. Forward-looking statements typically
are identified by use of terms such as &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;project,&rdquo;
&ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimate&rdquo; and similar words, although some forward-looking statements
are expressed differently.</I> <I>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 which continue 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
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. </I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, &ldquo;Since
mid-2014 we have consistently and publicly stated that our multi-pronged, company-wide transformation strategy would begin to deliver
results in the back half of 2015. For the fourth quarter, we delivered adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.19 compared to
$0.94 in the fourth quarter of 2014, a 26.6% increase. Comparable retail sales were positive 6.7%, on top of a positive 3.7% comp
in the fourth quarter of 2014. We leveraged adjusted gross margin by 130 basis points, leveraged adjusted operating margin by 70
basis points, our inventories were down 9.7% at quarter-end, on top of a 7.7% decline in the fourth quarter of 2014 and we returned
$41 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.&rdquo;</P>

&ndash; superior product, business transformation through technology, growth through alternate channels of distribution and store
fleet optimization - are supported by a best in class management team and a foundation of operational excellence. For fiscal 2015,
we delivered positive comparable retail sales, increased adjusted operating margin by 80 basis points to 6.4% compared to 5.6%
in fiscal 2014, &nbsp;generated $183 million in operating cash flow and returned over $131 million to shareholders through our
share repurchase and dividend programs. We have delivered four consecutive quarters of significant AUR increases and five consecutive
quarters of significant year over year inventory decreases. &nbsp;Importantly, our wholesale and international businesses continued
to expand and we now have 6 international franchise partners operating in 16 countries with 102 points of distribution.&rdquo;</P>

the first 6 weeks.&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
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

<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
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 (or on the above referenced call)
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>
