RadioShack Corporation Announces 2004 Fourth Quarter,
Fiscal Year Financial Results
Fort Worth, Texas, February 17, 2005 - RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) today
announced net income of $130.9 million or $0.81 per diluted share for the
quarter ended December 31, 2004 versus net income of $127.3 million or $0.77 per
diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. This represents a fourth
quarter 2004 growth rate of 3% in net income and 5% in diluted earnings per
share.
As reported last month, fourth quarter 2004 comparable store sales were up 3%
versus the prior year. Total sales in the fourth quarter of 2004 were up 7% to
$1,593 million, compared to total sales of $1,490 million for the previous year.
"Strong sales and gross margin preservation were the keys to delivering higher
operating and net profits in the fourth quarter and for the entire fiscal year,"
said Leonard Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer. "The difference
between comparable and total sales in the fourth quarter of 2004 was the result
of the first step in our plan to expand channels and to position the company to
deliver higher growth."
For fiscal year 2004, RadioShack reported net income of $337.2 million or $2.08
per diluted share versus net income of $298.5 million or $1.77 per diluted share
in fiscal year 2003. This represents a fiscal year 2004 growth rate of 13% in
net income and 18% in diluted earnings per share.
Fiscal year 2004 comparable store sales were up 3% versus the prior year. Total
sales in fiscal 2004 were $4,841 million versus $4,649 million in fiscal 2003,
an increase of 4%.
"RadioShack had an outstanding 2004," Roberts said. "The company generated
higher sales growth, expanded gross margin, leveraged SG&A, and increased
operating income by 15%. Our investment in strategic growth channels, such as
Sam's Club and Sprint kiosks, impacting SG&A in the fourth quarter will serve as
a platform for profitable growth going forward."
