GENESCO REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER,

FISCAL 2013 RESULTS

--Fourth Quarter Net Sales Increased 10%--

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 8, 2013 --- Genesco Inc. (NYSE:GCO) today reported earnings from continuing operations for the 14-week period ended February 2, 2013, of $38.7 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $41.5 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the 13-week period ended January 28, 2012. Fiscal 2013 fourth quarter results reflect expenses of $19.3 million, or $0.53 per share after tax, including $15.4 million of expenses related to the 2010 network intrusion; $3.2 million of expenses related to deferred purchase price payments in connection with the acquisition of Schuh Group Limited, which are required to be expensed as compensation because the payment is contingent upon the payees' continued employment; and $0.7 million in asset impairment charges; and a higher effective tax rate related to the nondeductibility of the Schuh deferred purchase price expenses. Fiscal 2012 fourth quarter results reflect expenses of $3.7 million, or $0.25 per share after tax, primarily including deferred purchase price expenses and asset impairments, other legal matters and acquisition expenses.

Adjusted for the items described above in both periods, earnings from continuing operations were $51.4 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $47.5 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012. For consistency with Fiscal 2013's previously announced earnings expectations and with previously reported adjusted results for the prior year period, the Company believes that the disclosure of the results from continuing operations adjusted for these items will be useful to investors. Additionally, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings from continuing operations before the compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price will enable investors to understand the effect attributable to incorporating a continuing employment condition into the obligation to pay deferred purchase price. A reconciliation of earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles with the adjusted earnings and earnings per share numbers presented in this paragraph is set forth on Schedule B to this press release.

Net sales for the 14-week fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013 increased 10% to $797 million from $723 million in the 13-week fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012, with the extra week accounting for approximately half the increase. Consolidated fourth quarter 2013 comparable sales, including same store sales and comparable e-commerce and catalog sales, decreased 2% on a 14-week basis, with a 1% decrease in the Journeys Group, a 10% decrease in the Lids Sports Group, a 7% increase in the Schuh Group, and a 2% increase in the Johnston & Murphy Group.

The Company also reported earnings from continuing operations for the 53-week period ended February 2, 2013, of $111.0 million, or $4.62 per diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $83.0 million, or $3.48 per diluted share, for the 52-week period ended January 28, 2012. Fiscal 2013 earnings reflect after-tax charges of $0.44 per diluted share, including network intrusion-related expenses, compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price, asset impairments, and other legal matters, and a higher effective tax rate. Fiscal 2012 earnings reflected after-tax charges of $0.61 per diluted share, including compensation expense associated with the Schuh

Exhibit 99.1

deferred purchase price, acquisition expenses, asset impairments, other legal matters, and network intrusion-related expenses.

Adjusted for the listed items in both years, earnings from continuing operations were $121.8 million, or $5.06 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2013, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $97.5 million, or $4.09 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2012. For consistency with previously announced earnings expectations, which did not reflect the listed items, the Company believes that disclosure of earnings from continuing operations adjusted for those items will be useful to investors. A reconciliation of the adjusted financial measures to their corresponding measures as reported pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is included in Schedule B to this press release. Net sales for Fiscal 2013 increased 14% to $2.60 billion from $2.29 billion in Fiscal 2012.

Robert J. Dennis, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Genesco, said, “Fiscal 2013 was another solid year for Genesco, highlighted by annual sales and adjusted earnings per share increases of 14% and 24%, respectively. We believe that the strong earnings performance in a year characterized by challenges in our markets and in the broader economy demonstrates the resiliency of our business model.”

“Fiscal 2014 has started off somewhat slowly, with February consolidated comparable sales down 9%. We believe that most of the negative factors we have identified in our recent performance, including a delay in initial federal tax refunds and the timing of new product deliveries versus a year ago, are temporary. Comparable sales improved in the course of February, but we remain cautious in our near-term outlook given continuing uncertainty in the economy and in some of our markets and the relatively strong prior year comparisons we face in the first half of this year.

“Based on current visibility, we expect adjusted Fiscal 2014 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.57 to $5.67, which represents a 10% to 12% increase over fiscal 2013's adjusted earnings per share of $5.06. Consistent with previous guidance, these expectations do not include expected non-cash asset impairments and other charges, which are estimated in the range of $3.0 million to $4.0 million pretax, or $0.08 to $0.11 per share, after tax, in Fiscal 2014. They also do not reflect compensation expense associated with the Schuh deferred purchase price as described above, which are currently estimated at approximately $11.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the full year. This guidance assumes comparable sales increases in the low single digit range for the full fiscal year.” A reconciliation of the adjusted financial measures cited in the guidance to their corresponding measures as reported pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is included in Schedule B to this press release.

Dennis concluded, “We enter the new year focused on continuing to navigate successfully through the short-term headwinds while executing our long-term growth strategies.”

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the performance outlook for the Company and its individual businesses 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. These include adjustments to estimates reflected in forward-looking statements, including the amount of required accruals related to the earn-out bonus potentially payable to Schuh management based on the achievement of certain performance objectives; the timing and amount of non-cash asset impairments related to retail store fixed assets or to intangible assets of acquired businesses; weakness in the consumer economy; competition in the Company's markets; inability of customers to obtain credit; fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings; changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers; bankruptcies or deterioration in financial condition of significant wholesale customers; disruptions in product supply or distribution; unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs, and other factors affecting the cost of products; the Company's ability to continue to complete and integrate acquisitions, expand its business and diversify its product base; and changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period-to-period sales comparisons. Additional factors that could affect the Company's prospects and cause differences from expectations include the ability to build, open, staff and support additional retail stores and to renew leases in existing stores and maintain reductions in occupancy costs achieved in recent lease negotiations, and to conduct required remodeling or refurbishment on schedule and at expected expense levels; deterioration in the performance of individual businesses or of the Company's market value relative to its book value, resulting in impairments of fixed assets or intangible assets or other adverse financial consequences; unexpected changes to the market for the Company's shares; variations from expected pension-related charges caused by conditions in the financial markets; and the outcome of litigation, investigations and environmental matters involving the Company.
