First quarter net sales decreased 1.5% to $591 million from $600 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. Comparable sales for Genesco and each of its business segments, including both same store sales and comparable sales from the Company's direct (e-commerce and catalog) businesses for the quarter, were as follows:

Exhibit 99.2
Gross Margin
First quarter gross margin was 50.5% this year compared with 51.1% last year, primarily reflecting lower gross margins in Schuh and Lids.
SG&A
Selling and administrative expense for the first quarter decreased to 44.8% of sales from 45.1% for the same period last year, reflecting lower incentive compensation accruals this year compared with last year's first quarter. Included in expenses this quarter is $2.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in expense related to deferred purchase price in the Schuh acquisition. The deferred purchase price payments, totaling £25 million, are due in June 2014 and 2015 if the payees remain employed until the payment dates. As we have discussed before, because of the retention feature, U.S. GAAP requires these deferred purchase price payments to be expensed as compensation. This is a non-cash expense until the payment conditions are satisfied. Last year, expenses in the quarter included $3.0 million or $0.12 per diluted share of deferred purchase price. Excluding the deferred purchase price expense from both periods and asset impairment and network intrusion expense of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share from this year's first quarter, SG&A as a percent of sales fell to 44.3% from 44.6% last year, or a 30 basis point improvement. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the schedule at the end of this document.
Also included in first quarter SG&A expense, but not eliminated from the adjusted expense, is $1.0 million or $0.03 per diluted share this year, and $2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share last year, related to a contingent bonus payment provided for in the Schuh acquisition. The purchase agreement calls for a total payment of up to £25 million to members of the Schuh management group payable in Fiscal 2016 if they have achieved certain earnings targets above the planned earnings on which we based our acquisition valuation. As we have discussed previously, there will be quarterly accruals for a portion of this payment, reflecting an estimate of the probability, based on Schuh's performance, that it will be earned.
Asset Impairment and Other
Asset impairment and other charges for the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 include asset impairments of $1.2 million and network intrusion expenses of $0.1 million. Last year's first quarter asset impairment and other charges were $0.1 million.
Operating Income
Genesco's operating income for the first quarter was $32.3 million this year compared with $36.0 million last year. Operating income this year included the asset impairment and other charges of $1.3 million and the $2.9 million expense for the Schuh acquisition-related deferred purchase price discussed above. Last year, first quarter operating income included $0.1 million of asset impairment and other charges and $3.0 million in deferred purchase price expense. Excluding these items from both periods, operating income for the first quarter was $36.4 million this year compared with $39.1 million last year. Adjusted operating margin was 6.2% of sales in the quarter this year and 6.5% last year. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the schedule at the end of this document.
Exhibit 99.2
Interest Expense
Net interest expense for the quarter was $1.0 million, compared with $1.1 million for the same period last year.
Pretax Earnings
Pretax earnings for the quarter were $31.2 million, including the $4.2 million of asset impairments and other charges, and deferred purchase price expense referenced above. Last year, first quarter pretax earnings were $34.9 million, which reflected approximately $3.1 million of asset impairments and other charges and deferred purchase price expense. Excluding these items from both years' results, pretax earnings for the quarter were $35.4 million this year compared to $38.0 million last year. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the schedule at the end of this document.
Taxes
The effective tax rate for the quarter was 40.8% this year, compared to 40.4% last year. The adjusted tax rate, reflecting the exclusion of asset impairment and other charges and deferred purchase price expense, was 37.1% this year compared to 37.0% last year. The difference in tax rate is due primarily to the non-deductibility of the deferred purchase price expense for U.S. tax purposes, which increases the effective tax rate on a GAAP basis.
Earnings From Continuing Operations After Taxes
Earnings from continuing operations were $18.5 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the first quarter this year, compared to earnings of $20.8 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in the first quarter last year. Excluding the items discussed above, first quarter earnings from continuing operations were $22.2 million or $0.94 per diluted share this year, compared with $23.8 million or $0.98 per diluted share last year. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the schedule at the end of this document.
Segment Results
Lids Sports Group
Lids Sports Group's sales for the first quarter decreased 2.9% to $178 million from $183 million last year.
Same store sales for the quarter decreased 8% this year compared to a 4% increase last year. Comparable direct sales increased 33% compared with a decrease of 3% last year. Comparable sales, including both same store and comparable direct sales, decreased 6% this year compared to a 3% increase last year. Through May 25, 2013, May same store sales decreased 5%; e-commerce sales increased 20%; and combined comparable sales decreased 4%.
The Group's gross margin as a percent of sales decreased two percentage points due to lower markons, related in part to changes in product mix. SG&A expense as a percent of sales increased 140 basis points due to negative expense leverage caused by the negative comparable sales.
The Group's first quarter operating income was $12.5 million, or 7.0% of sales, down from $19.2 million, or 10.5% of sales, last year.
Exhibit 99.2
Journeys Group
Journeys Group's sales for the quarter decreased 2.5% to $257 million from $264 million last year.
Same store sales for the Group were down 2%, compared with a 12% increase last year; comparable direct sales increased 26% this year and 3% last year. Combined comparable sales decreased -2% this year compared with a 12% increase last year. Through May 25, 2013, May same store sales increased 3%; comparable direct sales increased 31%; and combined comparable sales increased 4%.
Average Selling Prices (ASP) for footwear in Journeys stores in the first quarter this year increased 0.6% compared with an ASP increase of 9.4% in the first quarter last year.
Gross margin for the Journeys Group increased by about 20 basis points in the quarter due primarily to lower markdowns.
The Journeys Group's SG&A expense increased 60 basis points as a percent of sales for the quarter. Lower incentive compensation accruals compared with last year were offset by negative leverage primarily in store-related expenses especially in rent from the negative comp sales.
The Journeys Group's operating income for the quarter was $23.6 million or 9.2% of sales, compared to $25.3 million or 9.6% of sales last year.
Schuh Group
Schuh's sales in the first quarter were $68 million, compared to $70 million last year, a decrease of 2.8%. Same store sales decreased by 14% in the quarter; direct sales were up 5%; and total comparable sales decreased by 11%. Through May 25, 2013, same store sales for May were down 6%; comparable direct sales were up 5%; and total comparable sales were down 5%.
Schuh's gross margin was down 160 basis points in the quarter due to lower initial markons, related in part to changes in product mix. Expenses as a percent of sales, excluding the deferred purchase price expense, discussed under “Consolidated Results - SG&A” above, decreased by 140 basis points due to lower contingent bonus and EVA bonus accruals compared to last year.
The Schuh Group's operating loss was $3.0 million, which included $2.9 million of expenses related to the deferred purchase price discussed above. This compares with an operating loss of $3.0 million last year, including $3.0 million of deferred purchase price expense. Excluding the deferred purchase price accruals, but including the contingent acquisition bonus accrual (discussed under “Consolidated Results - SG&A”, above) of approximately $1.0 million this year and $2.5 million last year, the Group had an adjusted operating loss of $175,000 this year compared with essentially a breakeven in last year's first quarter. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the schedule attached to this document.
Johnston & Murphy Group
Johnston & Murphy Group's first quarter sales increased 13.6%, to $58 million, compared to $51 million in the first quarter last year.
Exhibit 99.2
Johnston & Murphy's wholesale sales increased 16% in the quarter. Same store sales increased 6%; direct sales increased 10%; and combined comparable sales increased 7% on top of a 6% increase last year. Direct sales represented about 11% of Johnston & Murphy Group's sales this quarter. Through May 25, 2013, May same store sales were up 12%; e-commerce and catalog sales increased 7%; and combined comparable sales were up 11%.
Johnston & Murphy's gross margin decreased by about 40 basis points for the quarter due to changes in the wholesale/retail sales mix and higher markdowns. SG&A expense as a percent of sales increased by 70 basis points, due primarily to development costs associated with the planned launch of a new line in the fall. Operating income was $3.9 million or 6.6% of sales, compared to $4.0 million, or 7.8% of sales last year.
Licensed Brands
Licensed Brands' sales decreased 6.1% to $29 million in the first quarter, compared to $31 million in the first quarter last year. Gross margin was up 110 basis points, due primarily to the relatively faster growth of sales in a product line with a higher gross margin than the balance of the segment.
SG&A expense as a percent of sales was up about 190 basis points due primarily to increased advertising and freight expenses.
Operating income for the quarter was $2.9 million or 9.9% of sales, compared with $3.4 million, or 10.8% of sales last year.
Corporate
Corporate expenses, including asset impairments and other charges, were $7.6 million or 1.3% of sales, compared with $12.9 million or 2.1% of sales last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower bonus accruals this year in the first quarter compared with last year.
