EXHIBIT 99.1 FOOT LOCKER, INC N E W S R E L EA S E CONTACT: Peter D. Brown Vice President, Treasurer and Investor Relations Foot Locker, Inc. (212) 720-4254 FOOT LOCKER, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS o Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations Increased 14 Percent to $0.25 Per Share o Debt, Net of Cash, Decreased to $24 Million from $87 Million Last Year o Company Extends Its Revolving Credit Facility to 2006 o Company Sets Third Quarter Earnings Guidance At $0.31-to-$0.33 Per Share NEW YORK, NY, August 21, 2003 - Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended August 2, 2003. Second Quarter Results Income from continuing operations increased 14 percent to $0.25 per share, or $37 million, from $0.22 per share, or $33 million last year. For the 13-week second quarter period, sales increased 3.5 percent to $1,123 million this year compared with sales of $1,085 million last year. Second quarter comparable-store sales decreased 4.4 percent. Year-to-Date Results Income from continuing operations for the 26-week period ended August 2, 2003, increased to $0.52 per share, or $76 million, compared with $0.48 per share, or $71 million last year. Year-to-date sales increased 3.5 percent to $2,251 million, compared with sales of $2,175 million last year. Comparable-store sales decreased 3.5 percent. Debt, net of cash, was reduced to $24 million from $87 million last year. Merchandise inventories remain current, and are both on plan and well positioned to support third quarter sales expectations. Matthew D. Serra, Foot Locker, Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "The Company's sales trend significantly improved in late July and this has continued into the third week of August. We expect our average price points to stabilize later in the third quarter as we anniversary against the current fashion trend of lower-priced classic footwear. Additionally, we expect our gross margin rate to continue to be favorable to last year due to our somewhat tempered promotional posture in the United States. Therefore, we currently expect third quarter earnings of $0.31-to-$0.33 per share, in line with analysts' estimates." On July 30, 2003, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility with its existing bank group, achieving a lower pricing structure and increased covenant flexibility, while extending the maturity date to July 2006. The credit facility was also increased in size by $10 million, to $200 million. On August 20, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.03 per share. The dividend will be payable October 31, 2003 to shareholders of record on October 17, 2003. - MORE - Foot Locker, Inc. 112 West 34th Street New York NY 10120
