COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 26, 2014 - DSW Inc. (NYSE: DSW), a leading branded footwear and accessories retailer, announced financial results for the thirteen week period ended August 2, 2014, which compare to the thirteen week period ended August 3, 2013.
Mike MacDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "In the quarter we accomplished our goal of achieving improvement in the underlying sales trends and eliminating any inventory imbalances. All major categories recorded improved sales performance in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. In addition, we were encouraged by the sequential improvement in sales trends as the quarter progressed. The actions we took to balance inventories created margin pressure but inventories at the end of the quarter were current and below the prior year on a cost per square foot basis.
We continued to make progress in our omni-channel initiative. The changes we are making are fundamental to the way we serve our customers. They will enable DSW to respond to the rapidly changing customer shopping patterns and maintain our position of strength in the footwear industry," Mr. MacDonald added.

Non-GAAP Measures
The unaudited reconciliation of adjusted results should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The company believes that this non-GAAP information is useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance, when reviewed in conjunction with the company’s GAAP statements. These amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be used exclusively in evaluating the company’s business and operations.
