PACIFIC SUNWEAR ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS;
ISSUES THIRD QUARTER GUIDANCE

- COMPARABLE STORE SALES UP 3%
- REPORTS SECOND QUARTER NON-GAAP EPS OF $0.02


ANAHEIM, Calif., August 29, 2013 --- Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSUN) (the “Company”), announced today that net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ended August 3, 2013, were $215.2 million versus net sales from continuing operations of $197.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 ended July 28, 2012. Comparable store sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 3%. The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2013 with 637 stores.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $19.2 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $18.0 million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The loss from continuing operations for the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2013 included a non-cash loss of $21.2 million, or $(0.31) per diluted share, compared to a non-cash loss of $8.2 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 related to the derivative liability that resulted from the issuance of the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) in connection with the term loan financing the Company completed in December 2011.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the non-cash loss on the derivative liability and store closure related charges, and using a normalized annual income tax rate of approximately 37%, income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $6.1 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The 53rd week retail calendar shift contributed approximately $0.03 per share of the $0.12 per diluted share improvement compared to last year.

"We are pleased with our strong performance as evidenced by our sixth consecutive quarter of both positive comparable store sales growth and higher merchandise margins,” said Gary H. Schoenfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe our customers are beginning to recognize and appreciate our diverse lens toward California lifestyle and our curated assortment of great brands and distinctive style which together are reestablishing PacSun's unique identity.”







Financial Outlook for Third Fiscal Quarter of 2013
The Company's guidance range for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 contemplates a non-GAAP loss per diluted share from continuing operations of between negative $0.09 and negative $0.04 and includes the impact of the 53rd week retail calendar shift.

The forecasted third quarter non-GAAP loss from continuing operations per diluted share guidance range is based on the following assumptions:
Comparable store sales from negative 1% to plus 3%;
An estimated $13 million reduction in revenue, a nearly 300 basis point decrease in gross margin, and a corresponding reduction of approximately $0.06 per diluted share as a result of the 53rd week retail calendar shift;
Revenue from $202 million to $209 million;
Gross margin rate, including buying, distribution and occupancy, of 25% to 27%;
SG&A expenses in the range of $55 million to $57 million; and
Applicable non-GAAP adjustments are tax effected using a normalized annual income tax rate of approximately 37%.

The Company's third fiscal quarter of 2013 guidance range excludes the quarterly impact of the change in the fair value of the derivative liability due to the inherently variable nature of this financial instrument.

Discontinued Operations
In accordance with applicable accounting literature and consistent with the Company's financial statement presentation in its fiscal 2012 annual report, the Company has reclassified the results of operations of its closed stores as discontinued operations for all periods presented, as applicable.

Derivative Liability
In fiscal 2011, as a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred in connection with the Company's $60 million senior secured term loan financing with an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital, the Company recorded a derivative liability equal to approximately $15 million, which represents the fair value of the Series B Preferred upon issuance. In accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP, the Company has marked this derivative liability to fair value through earnings and will continue to do so on a quarterly basis until the shares of Series B Preferred are either converted into shares of the Company's common stock or until the conversion rights expire (December 2021). A key driver used in determining the fair value of the derivative liability each quarter is the Company's stock price. As the stock price increases, the fair value of the derivative liability generally will also increase. For example, the Company's stock price for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ended August 3, 2013, was $4.47 compared to $2.81 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended May 4, 2013, which resulted in a non-cash loss of $21.2 million in the second quarter.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The accompanying press release dated August 29, 2013, contains non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP SG&A expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations and non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations per share for the second quarters and first half of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, and non-GAAP loss from continuing operations per share guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies.  The Company computes non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. The Company may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The Company has excluded the following items from all of its non-GAAP financial measures:
 
- Store closure charges (gains)
- Derivative liability
- Valuation allowance
 
 
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization, individual operating segments or its senior management. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze the Company's historical results and in providing estimates of future performance and that failure to report these non-GAAP measures, could result in confusion among analysts and others and create a misplaced perception that the Company's results have underperformed or exceeded expectations.
