For the 13-week first quarter period, sales increased 3.5 percent to $1,128 million this year compared with sales of $1,090 million last year. First quarter comparable-store sales decreased 2.5 percent, on a constant currency rate basis. The Company's financial position remains strong with debt, net of cash, of $52 million. This represents a $67 million reduction from the same period last year. Merchandise inventories remain on plan and well positioned to support the Company's second quarter sales expectations.

At May 3, 2003, the Company operated 3,600 stores in 14 countries in North America, Europe and Australia. "Our first quarter performance reflects the implementation of a series of ongoing initiatives designed to make our Company more efficient and which contributed to our increased earnings," stated Matthew D. Serra, Foot Locker, Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are encouraged by our first quarter performance, and in particular by our 120 basis point gross margin rate improvement. Given this success, we are somewhat more confident in our ability to increase our future quarter-over-quarter earnings per share, and we currently expect our second quarter 2003 net income from continuing operations to meet or exceed the current analysts' consensus estimate of $0.24 per share."
