EARNINGS RESULTS
EARNINGS RESULTS
ANAHEIM, CA/November 20, 2007-— Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSUN) today announced that total sales for the third quarter (13 weeks) of fiscal 2007 ended November 3, 2007, were $373.1 million, a decrease of 0.6 percent from total sales of $375.4 million for the third quarter (13 weeks) of fiscal 2006 ended October 28, 2006.
Total Company same-store sales increased 5.0 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. By concept, PacSun same-store sales increased 7.7 percent and demo same-store sales decreased 18.3 percent. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2006, same-store sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 are compared to the thirteen-week period ended November 4, 2006.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $20.0 million, or $(0.29) per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $9.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Store asset impairments and inventory reserves associated with the Company’s demo stores accounted for approximately $31 million in after-tax charges, or $(0.45) per diluted share. Excluding these charges and their related tax rate implications, the Company generated non-GAAP net income of $11.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures above is contained at the end of this press release.
“I am very pleased by the progress shown by our core PacSun business during the third quarter,” commented Sally Frame Kasaks, Chief Executive Officer. “We completed a strong back-to-school season, driven by continued progress in improving our juniors’ business and steady performance from our guys’ business.”
Total sales for the first three quarters (39 weeks) ended November 3, 2007 were $1,038.0 million, an increase of 4.9 percent over total sales of $989.0 million during the first three quarters (39 weeks) ended October 28, 2006.
Total Company same-store sales increased 2.0 percent during the first three quarters. By concept, PacSun same-store sales increased 4.0 percent and demo same-store sales decreased 13.7 percent. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2006, same-store sales for the first three quarters of fiscal 2007 are compared to the 39-week period ended November 4, 2006.
For the first three quarters of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $35.6 million, or $(0.51) per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $30.6

million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 ended October 28, 2006. Store asset impairments, lease termination charges, inventory reserves and other liquidation charges associated with the Company’s demo and One Thousand Steps stores accounted for approximately $48 million in after-tax charges, or $0.69 per diluted share. Excluding these charges and their related tax rate implications, the Company generated non-GAAP net income of $12.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the first three quarters of fiscal 2007. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures above is contained at the end of this press release.
Financial Outlook
Assuming a flat to low-single digit increase in total Company same-store sales for the fourth quarter, the Company expects fourth quarter earnings in the range of $0.26 to $0.29 per diluted share. This earnings range does not include any potential lease termination or other disposition-related charges that may occur associated with the demo or One Thousand Steps businesses at any time in the future.

This earnings range does not include any potential lease termination or other disposition-related charges that may occur associated with the demo or One Thousand Steps businesses at any time in the future.
As a result of the Company’s previously announced plans to explore strategic alternatives for its demo stores and to close its One Thousand Steps stores, and the uncertainty regarding the financial impact those plans may produce, the Company is also providing non-GAAP earnings guidance associated with its core PacSun business on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, assuming a low-single digit increase in PacSun same-store sales for the fourth quarter, the Company is comfortable with fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings, excluding demo and One Thousand Steps and any associated potential lease termination or other disposition-related charges that may occur at any time in the future, in the range of $0.32 to $0.35 per diluted share.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures
This earnings release for the third quarter ended November 3, 2007 contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Provided in the tables below is a reconciliation of the relevant GAAP measure to the non-GAAP measure contained in this earnings release. Only line items affected by these non-GAAP adjustments are included in the tables below. All amounts are expressed in millions of dollars, except earnings per share. Non-GAAP earnings are derived by starting with the GAAP number on the left and subtracting the relevant non-GAAP adjustments while moving to the right by line item.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in the earnings release and below in the reconciliation tables are useful to investors, as they provide an alternative method for measuring the Company’s operating performance and comparing it against prior periods’ performance without reference to the income statement impact of store asset impairment charges associated with demo stores and inventory reserve charges associated with both demo and One Thousand Steps stores. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Reconciliation of fiscal 2007 third quarter GAAP earnings to non-GAAP earnings:
Non-GAAP earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 exclude the income statement impact of store asset impairment charges associated with demo stores and inventory reserve charges associated with both demo and One Thousand Steps.
