EXHIBIT 99.1 FINANCIAL CONTACT: JAMES S. GULMI (615) 367-8325 MEDIA CONTACT: CLAIRE S. MCCALL (615) 367-8283 GENESCO REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS --DILUTED EPS BEFORE DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS INCREASE 33% TO $0.32, INCLUDING CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED CLASS ACTION SUIT-- --RAISES FISCAL 2006 GUIDANCE-- NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 26, 2005 - Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) today reported earnings before discontinued operations of $8.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter ended April 30, 2005. This compares with earnings before discontinued operations of $5.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the first quarter last year. These results include previously announced charges of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share after taxes, associated with the anticipated settlement of a previously disclosed class action suit. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 increased 27% to $286 million compared to $226 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Genesco Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Hal N. Pennington, said, "Our results for the quarter, which significantly exceeded plan, were fueled by better than expected performances at Journeys, Hat World, Underground Station and Johnston & Murphy. Sales, margins, and cash flow were strong, and we ended the quarter with a good inventory position. We look forward to building on our momentum in the marketplace. "Journeys' same store sales increased 7%, footwear unit comparable sales rose 11%, and gross margins came in above plan. Journeys generated meaningful leverage on the strong sales as operating margin improved 270 basis points to 10.7%. Our stores are focused and our merchandise selection is reflective of what is currently happening in the marketplace, helping us sustain the favorable same store sales trend. "Once again, Hat World performed well during the quarter. Total sales increased to $62 million and same store sales increased 7%, against a 23% comp gain for the same period last year. These strong results and our continued success with multiple stores within malls, street locations and tourist destinations increase our confidence in Hat World's expansion potential. Hat World's operating margins and aggressive growth plans give it the potential to make a significant contribution to our long-term sales and earnings growth objectives. "Total sales for the Underground Station Group were up 13% to approximately $40 million during the quarter, comparable store sales rose 9% and operating margin increased 120 basis points to 5.8% due to improved gross margin and increased expense leverage. Same store sales for the Underground Station stores increased 11%, driven by continued increases in average selling prices and a 6% gain in footwear unit comps. We believe the early success of our new Underground Station store in Brooklyn, New York, which shares a location with a Lids store, demonstrates the potential for dual concept stores to contribute to Genesco's retail growth. Our momentum remains positive and we are committed to fully capitalizing on Underground Station's unique position in the marketplace. "Johnston & Murphy registered another strong quarter as total sales grew to roughly $42 million, same store sales rose 3% and wholesale sales increased 9%. We believe that Johnston & Murphy's updated image, reflected in its new logo, packaging, website, catalog and print ads will help to attract new customers and drive incremental sales. We remain encouraged about Johnston & Murphy's prospects and it moves forward with great product, innovative marketing and clean inventories. "Dockers Footwear sales were impacted by internal and external issues during the quarter. We are working hard to improve our market position and we remain confident that Dockers' brand value-equation continues to occupy an important space in the mind of our consumer." Genesco also stated that it is revising upward its fiscal 2006 guidance. The Company now expects sales for the year to range between $1.27 billion and $1.28 billion and earnings per share to range from $2.21 to $2.24, including the previously announced charges of approximately $0.06 per share associated with the anticipated class action settlement. Pennington concluded, "These excellent results, which come on the heels of a strong fourth quarter, are a great way to start the new fiscal year. We continue to see the positive results of all of our hard work and we remain committed to effectively executing our strategic plan, aimed at driving long-term growth and increasing shareholder value." This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the Company's sales and earnings outlook, the anticipated class action settlement and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. A number of factors could cause differences, including weakness in consumer demand for products sold by the Company, fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings, changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period to period sales comparisons, changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers, disruptions in product availability or distribution, unfavorable trends in foreign exchange rates and other factors affecting the cost of products, changes in business strategies by the Company's competitors (including pricing and promotional discounts), the ability to open, staff and support additional retail stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels and to renew leases in existing stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels, variations from expected pension-related charges caused by conditions in the financial markets, and the outcome of litigation and environmental matters involving the Company. Forward-looking statements reflect the expectations of the Company at the time they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to update such statements.
