AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. INTERIM RESULTS. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Payless ShoeSource, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (pages 20-25) in the Company's 2000 Annual Report. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are 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 upon estimates for the entire year. The results for the three-month period ended May 5, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2002. NOTE 2. INVENTORIES. Merchandise inventories are valued by the retail method and are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or market. NOTE 3. REVOLVING CREDIT LINE. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company drew down on its line of credit to finance its seasonal cash flow needs. As of May 5, 2001, the Company has borrowed $44.0 million under its $200.0 million line of credit. The availability under the line of credit has been further reduced by an $11.4 million outstanding letter of credit. NOTE 4. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. In order to mitigate the Company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company has entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company will receive interest at the three-month LIBOR rate on a $320 million notional amount and pay a weighted average rate of 6.9%. Effective February 4, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company's interest rate swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Such instruments are those, which effectively convert variable interest payments on debt instruments into fixed payments. For qualifying hedges, SFAS No. 133 allows derivative gains and losses to offset related results on hedged items in the consolidated statement of operations. As the critical terms of the Company's interest rate swap agreements match those of the related hedged obligations, the Company has concluded that there is no ineffectiveness in its hedges, and as a result, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 has no impact on net earnings. The Company's interest rate swap agreements are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at May 5, 2001 as a liability measured at fair value. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company recorded an after-tax loss of $4.7 million ($7.7 million pre-tax) to other comprehensive income as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedging instruments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. During the three months ended May 5, 2001, the Company recorded an after-tax loss of $0.8 million ($1.3 million pre-tax) to other comprehensive income representing the decline in fair value of its interest rate swap agreements. At May 5, 2001, the Company had a cumulative after-tax loss of $5.5 million ($9.0 million pre-tax) included in other accumulated comprehensive income related to cash flow hedging instruments. The amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the floating rate debt obligations affects earnings. During the year to end February 2, 2002, approximately $3.6 million of after-tax losses ($5.9 million pre-tax) in accumulated other comprehensive income related to interest rate swap agreements are expected to be reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment on the Company's variable-rate long-term debt. 5 6 During the first quarter of 2001, the Company terminated two currency swaps, which had effectively converted $30 million of the U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt into Canadian dollar denominated obligations. These swaps had been designated as a foreign currency hedge on the Company's net investment in Canadian dollar denominated subsidiaries. As a result, the $0.5 million after-tax gain on these swaps ($0.8 million pre-tax) remains a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within total shareowners' equity on the accompanying balance sheet. NOTE 5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. The following table shows the computation of comprehensive income: (Dollars in millions) 13 WEEKS ENDED --------------------------- MAY 5, 2001 APRIL 29, 2000 ----------- -------------- Net Income $29.7 $25.4 Other Comprehensive Loss: After-tax cumulative effect of a change in accounting for derivatives (4.7) -- Change in fair value of derivatives (0.8) -- Foreign currency translation adjustments (1.3) (0.9) ----- ----- Total other comprehensive loss (6.8) (0.9) Total Comprehensive Income 22.9 24.5 ===== ===== NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of conversions of stock options. NOTE 7. RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform with the current year presentation. NOTE 8. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Local currencies are the functional currencies for all subsidiaries. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items of these subsidiaries are translated at average rates of exchange. ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting operating results for the quarters ended May 5, 2001 (2001) and April 29, 2000 (2000). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS NET EARNINGS Net earnings totaled $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared with $25.4 million in the first quarter of 2000. The following table presents the components of costs and expenses, as a percent of revenues, for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000. 6 7 FIRST QUARTER 2001 2000 ---- ---- Cost of sales 68.3% 68.0% Selling, general, and administrative expense 24.4 24.0 Non-recurring item -- 1.1 ---- ---- Operating profit 7.3 6.9 Interest expense, net 1.1 0.2 ---- ---- Earnings before income taxes, minority interest, and extraordinary loss 6.2 6.7 Effective income tax rate 38.4% 38.9% ==== ==== Earnings before minority interest and extraordinary loss 3.9 4.1 Minority interest -- -- ---- ---- Earnings before extraordinary loss 3.9 4.1 Extraordinary loss, net of income tax -- 0.5 ---- ---- Net Earnings 3.9% 3.6% ==== ==== NET RETAIL SALES Net retail sales represent the sales of stores operating during the period. Same-store sales represent sales of stores open during comparable periods. During the first quarter of 2001 total sales increased 8.4% over the first quarter of 2000, consisting of a 1.0% increase in unit volume and a 7.2% increase in average selling prices. Sales percent increases are as follows: FIRST QUARTER ------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net Retail Sales 8.4% 2.8% Same-Store Sales 4.5% 0.8% COST OF SALES Cost of sales includes cost of merchandise sold, buying and occupancy costs. Cost of sales was $524.8 million in the 2001 first quarter, up 9.0% from $481.6 million in the 2000 first quarter. As a percentage of net retail sales, cost of sales was 68.3 percent in the first quarter of 2001, compared with 68.0 percent in the first quarter of 2000. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net retail sales is primarily due to higher occupancy costs including an increase in utility expenses. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses were $187.6 million in the first quarter of 2001, up 10.5% from $169.7 million in the first quarter of 2000. As a percentage of net retail sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.4 percent during the first quarter of 2001 compared with 24.0 percent in the first quarter of 2000. The increase, as a percentage of net retail sales, during the first quarter of 2001 was primarily attributed to increases in payroll costs. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET Interest expense has increased to $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2001 from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2000. The increase is the result of additional long-term debt issued during 2000 and short-term borrowings during the first quarter of 2001 under the revolving line of credit. 7 8 EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE The Company's effective income tax rate declined to 38.4% in the first quarter of 2001 from 38.9% in the first quarter of 2000. The decrease is reflecting benefits related to the implementation of additional tax planning strategies. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CASH FLOW Cash flow from operations during the three months ended May 5, 2001 was $(13.8) million. This figure represented (1.8) percent of net retail sales in the first quarter of 2001 compared with 2.1 percent in the first quarter of 2000. The reduction in the first quarter of 2001 was primarily attributed to the cash flow impact of a slight increase in inventory to support store count growth and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Internally generated funds are expected to continue to be the most important component of the Company's capital resources and are expected to fund capital expansion. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2001 totaled $31.0 million with an additional $69.0 million estimated to be incurred in the remainder of fiscal year 2001. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and the credit facility will be sufficient to finance projected capital expenditures. FINANCING ACTIVITIES As of May 5, 2001, $44 million had been drawn against the Company's $200 million revolving loan to finance its seasonal cash flow needs. The availability under the revolving loan is further reduced by $11.4 million outstanding under a letter of credit. The Company expects to repay the borrowings under the revolving loan in the second quarter of 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION RATIOS A summary of key financial information for the periods indicated is as follows: MAY 5, APRIL 29, FEB. 3, 2001 2000 2001 ------ --------- ------- Current Ratio 1.8 2.1 2.0 Debt-Capitalization Ratio* 42.5% 55.1% 44.2% Fixed Charge Coverage** 3.1x 3.7x 3.1x * Debt-to-capitalization has been computed by dividing total debt, which includes current and long-term capital lease obligations, by capitalization, which includes current and long-term capital lease obligations, non-current deferred income taxes and equity. The debt-to-capitalization ratio, including the present value of future minimum rental payments under operating leases as debt and capitalization, would be 72.9%, 79.0% and 74.1% respectively, for the periods referred to above. The decrease in the debt to capitalization ratio at May 5, 2001 is primarily the result of an $80 million pre-payment on the Company's long-term debt during the second quarter of 2000 and the increase in the Company's retained earnings. ** Fixed charge coverage, which is presented for the trailing 52 weeks in each period ended above, is defined as earnings before income taxes, gross interest expense, and the interest component of rent expense, divided by gross interest expense and the interest component of rent expense. The decrease in the fixed charge coverage ratio at May 5, 2001 is primarily the result of the increase in interest expense resulting from the additional debt issued in April 2000. 8 9 STORE ACTIVITY At the end of the first quarter of 2001, the Company operated 4,908 stores offering quality family footwear and accessories in 50 states, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Guam, Saipan, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The following table presents the change in store count for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000. FIRST QUARTER --------------- 2001 2000 ----- ----- Beginning of quarter 4,912 4,712 Stores opened 69 64 Stores closed (73) (67) ----- ----- Ending store count 4,908 4,709 ===== ===== FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains, and from time to time the Company may publish, forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, future store openings and international expansion, possible strategic alternatives and new business concepts and similar matters.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to ordinary private litigation incidental to their business. ITEM 3 -- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK INTEREST RATE RISK Interest on the Company's Credit Facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a variable margin as defined in the credit agreement. Therefore, the Company's future borrowing costs may fluctuate depending upon the volatility of LIBOR. The Company currently mitigates a portion of its interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swap agreements, whereby the Company has agreed to exchange, at specific intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional amount. 9 10 CURRENCY RISK During the first quarter of 2001, the Company terminated two currency swaps which had effectively converted $30 million of the U.S. dollar denominated term loan into Canadian dollar denominated obligations. These swaps had been designated as a foreign currency hedge on the Company's net investment in Canadian dollar denominated subsidiaries. As a result, the $0.5 million after-tax gain on these swaps ($0.8 million pre-tax) remains a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within total shareowners' equity on the accompanying balance sheet.
