dELiA*s, INC. ANNOUNCES
FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
New York, NY – May 30, 2013 – dELiA*s, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLIA), a multi-channel retail company primarily marketing to teenage girls, today announced the results for its first quarter of fiscal 2013.
dELiA*s, Inc. results for the first quarter of 2013 reflect its Alloy business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. As previously disclosed, the Company has retained Janney Montgomery Scott LLC to assist in the potential disposition of the Alloy brand. All financial results in this press release are for continuing operations only unless otherwise stated.
First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Highlights:
| • | Total revenue decreased 14.6% to $35.2 million from $41.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Revenue from the retail segment decreased 14.4% to $24.7 million, including a comparable store sales decrease of 7.1% and an 8% reduction in store count. Revenue from the direct segment decreased 15.3% to $10.5 million. |
| • | Consolidated gross margin was 23.8% compared to 31.6% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased inventory reserves, as well as lower merchandise margins in the retail segment. |
| • | Loss from continuing operations was $9.2 million compared to a loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 of $4.3 million. Overhead expenses previously allocated to the Alloy business have now been reallocated to continuing operations for both fiscal 2013 and 2012. These costs were approximately $1.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. |

Walter Killough commented, “We were disappointed with our first quarter performance, which we believe was the result of product offerings that did not align with our customers’ preferences coupled with a challenging retail environment underpinned by unseasonable weather. We have taken aggressive action to work through our current inventory and began to make adjustments to our product offerings which have already yielded improved results. With the potential disposition of Alloy, we are currently evaluating our cost structure in order to right-size the business.”
Results by Segment
Retail Segment Results
Total revenue for the retail segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 14.4% to $24.7 million from $28.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This decrease was due to an 8% reduction in store count, and a comparable store sales decrease of 7.1%. Comparable store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased by 7.3%.
Gross margin for the retail segment, which includes distribution, occupancy and merchandising costs, was 16.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 26.4% in the prior year period. Gross margin decreased approximately 740 basis points as a result of increased markdown and other inventory reserves in connection with underperforming inventory. The decrease was also driven by a 190 basis point reduction in merchandise margins related to increased markdowns, as well as the deleveraging of occupancy costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the retail segment were $11.1 million, or 45.1% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $11.3 million, or 39.1% of sales, in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales reflects the deleveraging of selling, overhead and depreciation expenses. Included in overhead expenses for fiscal 2013 were approximately $0.3 million in costs related to the Company’s recent management transitions.
The operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 for the retail segment was $7.0 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior year period.

The Company relocated one store location and closed one store location during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, ending the period with 103 stores.
Direct Segment Results
Total revenue for the direct segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 15.3% to $10.5 million from $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Gross margin for the direct segment was 41.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 43.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in gross margin resulted primarily from increased inventory reserves and higher shipping and handling costs, partially offset by a 110 basis point improvement in merchandise margins.
SG&A expenses for the direct segment were $6.4 million, or 60.8% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $6.4 million, or 51.9% of sales, in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales reflects the deleveraging of selling, overhead and depreciation expenses. Included in overhead expenses for fiscal 2013 were approximately $0.3 million in costs related to the Company’s recent management transitions.
Operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 for the direct segment was $2.0 million as compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period.
Balance Sheet Highlights
At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $3.6 million compared with $16.6 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Total net inventories at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $26.1 million compared with $25.3 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Inventory per average retail store was up 9.0% compared to the prior year period, and inventory for the direct segment was up 20.3% compared to the prior year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded additional inventory reserves related to $1.6 million of product removed from the retail channel subsequent to quarter end.
