NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Interim Results. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-Q of The Securities and Exchange Commission and should
be read in conjunction with the Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (page 18) and the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (pages 23-29) in the 1994 Annual Report. In the opinion
of management, this information is fairly presented and all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods have been included; however, certain items are included in
these statements based on estimates for the entire year. Also,
operating results of periods which exclude the Christmas season may
not be indicative of the operating results that may be expected for
the full fiscal year.
Inventories. Department store merchandise inventories are stated
on the LIFO (last-in, first-out) cost basis. The LIFO provision
for the first quarter was $8 million in 1995 and 1994.
Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
A summary of key financial information for the periods indicated is
as follows:
April 29, April 30, Jan. 28,
1995 1994 1995
Current Ratio 2.6 2.6 2.6
Debt-Capitalization Ratio 44% 44% 44%
Fixed Charge Coverage* 3.4x 3.3x 3.4x
* Fixed charge coverage, which is presented for the trailing 52
weeks in each period ended above, is defined as earnings
before gross interest expense, the expense portion of interest
on the ESOP debt, rent expense and income taxes divided by
gross interest expense, interest expense on the ESOP debt,
total rent expense and the pretax equivalent of dividends on
redeemable stock.
Registrant's fixed charge coverage ratio for the 52 weeks ended
April 29, 1995 increased as compared with the 52 week period ended
April 30, 1994, due to an increased level of earnings, partially
offset by an increase in fixed charges, primarily rent expense.
Results of Operations
Net retail sales represent the sales of stores operating at the end
of the latest period. They exclude finance charge revenue and the
sales of stores which have been closed and not replaced. Sales
percent increases (decreases) by business segment are as follows:
Store-for-
Total Store
Department stores 5.9% 2.4%
Payless ShoeSource 10.2 (4.6)
Total Net Retail Sales 6.8% 1.0%
Store-for-store sales represent sales of those stores open during
both periods.
The following table presents the components of costs and expenses,
as a percent of revenues, for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994.
1995 1994
Cost of sales 69.8% 69.4%
Selling, general and
administrative expenses 21.3 21.2
Interest expense, net 2.1 2.2
Earnings before income taxes 6.8% 7.2%
Effective income tax rate 40.5% 40.5%
Net Earnings 4.1% 4.3%
6
Cost of sales was $1,946 million in the 1995 first quarter, up 6.9%
from $1,820 million in the 1994 first quarter. The overall
increase is primarily related to higher sales volume. As a percent
of revenues, cost of sales increased 0.4% from the first quarter of
1994 due to higher occupancy expenses. LIFO was a charge of $8
million in the first quarter of 1995 and 1994. There were no
significant changes in the other components of cost of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $592 million in
the 1995 first quarter, compared with $555 million in the 1994
first quarter, a 6.7% increase. The increase is primarily related
to higher sales volume. Selling, general and administrative
expenses, as a percent of revenues, increased 0.1% for the first
quarter of 1995 as compared with 1994.
Net interest expense for the first quarter 1995 and 1994 was as
follows (millions):
1995 1994
Interest expense $ 65 $ 62
Interest income (3) (1)
Capitalized interest (4) (2)
Net Interest Expense $ 58 $ 59
Interest expense net of capitalized interest increased in the 1995
first quarter due to increased debt balances. The increase in
first quarter 1995 interest income primarily resulted from higher
short term interest rates. As a percent of revenues, net interest
expense for the first quarter of 1995 decreased 0.1% from the first
quarter of 1994.
Operating results for the trailing years were as follows (millions,
except per share):
52 Weeks Ended
April 29, April 30,
1995 1994
Net retail sales $ 12,046 $ 11,245
Revenues $ 12,388 $ 11,729
Net earnings $ 784 $ 727
Fully diluted earnings per share $ 2.93 $ 2.71
