5. Segment Information

     The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on its method of internal reporting. As of January 31, 2009, the Company has two reportable segments, Athletic Stores and Direct-to-Customers. The Company acquired CCS during the fourth quarter of 2008, the operations are presented within the Direct-to-Customers segment. The Company also operated the Family Footwear segment, which included the retail format under the Footquarters brand name through the second quarter of 2007. During the third quarter, the Company converted the Footquarters stores, which were the only stores reported under the Family Footwear segment, to Foot Locker and Champs Sports outlet stores. The Company has concluded that the Footquarters store closings are not discontinued operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144.

     The accounting policies of both segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is division results. Division (loss) profit reflects (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes, corporate expense, non-operating income, and net interest expense.

Segment Information

     The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, the primary financial measure of which is division profit. Division profit reflects income from continuing operations before income taxes, corporate expense, non-operating income, and net interest expense.

Athletic Stores

   2006          2005          2004

2006 compared with 2005

     Athletic Stores sales of $5,370 million increased 1.9 percent in 2006, as compared with $5,272 million in 2005. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the euro, and the effect of the 53rd week, sales from athletic store formats decreased by 0.6 percent in 2006. Footaction and Champs Sports significantly increased sales, primarily from the sales of marquee basketball and running footwear. This was offset primarily by decreased sales in Foot Locker Europe. Foot Locker Europe’s sales declined due to the continued difficult athletic retail environment, particularly in France, the U.K and Italy. Comparable-store sales decreased by 1.1 percent in 2006.

     Division profit from Athletic Stores decreased by 3.3 percent to $405 million in 2006 from $419 million in 2005. Division profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.5 percent. The decrease in division profit is primarily attributable to the Foot Locker Europe division due to the fashion shift from higher priced marquee footwear to lower priced low-profile footwear styles and a highly competitive retail environment, particularly for the sale of low-profile footwear styles. Included in the Athletic Stores division profit for 2006 is an impairment charge of $17 million related to the Company’s European operations, consistent with the Company’s recoverability of long-lived assets policy. The charge was comprised primarily of stores located in the U.K. and France. As previously disclosed in 2005, the Company was monitoring the progress of the European operations and the possible analysis of recoverability of store long-lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 144. Excluding the impairment charge, Athletic Stores division profit increased by 0.7 percent as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. The decline in Foot Locker Europe were offset by increases in all other divisions.

2005 compared with 2004

     Athletic Stores sales of $5,272 million increased 5.7 percent in 2005, as compared with $4,989 million in 2004. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the euro, sales from athletic store formats increased 5.5 percent in 2005. Comparable-store sales increased by 2.6 percent in 2005. These increases were primarily driven by sales related to the Footaction division, which was acquired in May 2004. Approximately $126 million of the increase in Footaction represented the inclusion of their operations for the full year in 2005. Champs Sports experienced a strong increase in sales during 2005, as this format benefited from higher quantities of marquee athletic footwear and private-label apparel. Foot Locker Canada also experienced increased sales. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, Foot Locker Europe’s sales were essentially flat as compared with the corresponding prior-year period.

     Division profit from Athletic Stores decreased by 0.2 percent to $419 million in 2005 from $420 million in 2004. Division profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.9 percent in 2005 from 8.4 percent in 2004. This decline is primarily a result of the decreased profit from the European operations as compared with the prior year. The continued weak economy, the increased competitive environment and a fashion shift from higher priced marquee footwear to lower priced low-profile footwear negatively affected Europe’s operating results. In addition during 2005, Foot Locker Europe recorded significantly higher markdowns as a result of the continued promotional environment, particularly in the U.K. and France, and to clear excess inventory. Despite these factors, in 2005 Foot Locker Europe achieved a double-digit division profit margin. The decline in Europe was partially offset by the improved results at the Footaction, Champs Sports and Canadian divisions. The increase in Footaction is primarily a result of the inclusion of its results for the full year as compared with a partial year during 2004.

Direct-to-Customers

   2006          2005          2004  
   (in millions)
Sales $ 380    $ 381   $ 366  
Division profit $ 45   $ 48   $ 45  
Sales as a percentage of consolidated total 7 %    7 %    7 % 
Division profit margin 11.8 %    12.6 %    12.3 % 

2006 compared with 2005

     Direct-to-Customers sales decreased to $380 million in 2006, as compared with $381 million in 2005. Internet sales increased to $270 million, increasing by 11.1 percent as compared with 2005. Catalog sales decreased by 20.3 percent to $110 million in 2006 from $138 million in 2005. Management believes that the decrease in catalog sales, which was substantially offset by the increase in Internet sales, is a result of customers browsing and selecting products through its catalogs and then making their purchases via the Internet. Sales for the Direct-to-Customer business were negatively affected by the termination of a third party arrangement in the early part of 2006.

     The Direct-to-Customers business generated division profit of $45 million in 2006, as compared with $48 million in 2005. Division profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 11.8 percent in 2006 from 12.6 percent in 2005. Several initiatives were implemented to mitigate the loss of revenue from the cancelled third party contract, such as expanding the ESPN offerings. However, these iniatitives did not fully offset the loss in profit which resulted in a decline in division profit. The effect of the 53rd week on this segment was not significant.

2005 compared with 2004

     Direct-to-Customers sales increased 4.1 percent to $381 million in 2005, as compared with $366 million 2004. The growth of the Internet business continued to drive sales in 2005. Internet sales increased by 14.6 percent to $243 million from $212 million in 2004. Catalog sales decreased by 10.4 percent to $138 million in 2005 from $154 million in 2004. Management believes that the decrease in catalog sales, which was substantially offset by the increase in Internet sales, is a result of customers browsing and selecting products through its catalogs and then making their purchases via the Internet.

     The Direct-to-Customers business generated division profit of $48 million in 2005, as compared with $45 million in 2004. Division profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 12.6 percent in 2005 from 12.3 percent in 2004. This reflects the Company’s alliances with third parties, such as the USOC and ESPN.
