Retail Ventures, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Operating Results

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Retail Ventures, Inc. (NYSE: RVI) today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended August 1, 2009.

On April 21, 2009, Retail Ventures sold all of the outstanding capital stock of Filene's Basement to FB II Acquisition Corp., a newly formed entity owned by Buxbaum Holdings, Inc. On May 4, 2009, Filene's Basement filed for bankruptcy protection.

    --  The loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended August 1, 2009
        was $4.4 million on net sales of $369.5 million, compared to income from
        continuing operations of $25.8 million on net sales of $357.2 million
        for the quarter ended August 2, 2008. DSW same store sales decreased
        2.9% during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 versus a decrease of 6.9%
        last year.

    --  Diluted loss per share from continuing operations attributable to Retail
        Ventures, Inc. common shareholders was $0.15 for the quarter ended
        August 1, 2009 compared with diluted earnings per share from continuing
        operations attributable to Retail Ventures, Inc. common shareholders of
        $0.45 per share last year.

The Company believes that the non-cash accounting charge associated with the change in fair value of derivative instruments is not directly related to its retail operations and is therefore providing supplemental adjusted results that exclude this item. This non-GAAP financial measure should facilitate analysis by investors and others who follow the Company's financial performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP results follows:
