99.1 Press Release of Zumiez Inc. dated September 08, 2016

Zumiez Inc. Announces Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Results

LYNNWOOD, WA -- (Marketwired - September 08, 2016) - Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ), a leading lifestyle retailer of apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories, today reported results for the second quarter ended July 30, 2016.

Total net sales for the second quarter ended July 30, 2016 (13 weeks) decreased 0.9% to $178.3 million from $179.8 million in the quarter ended August 1, 2015 (13 weeks). Comparable sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2016 decreased 4.9% compared to a comparable sales decrease of 4.5% for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2015. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The results for fiscal 2015 include costs of approximately $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for charges associated with the acquisition of Blue Tomato.

Total net sales for the six months (26 weeks) ended July 30, 2016 decreased 1.7% to $351.2 million from $357.4 million reported for the six months (26 weeks) ended August 1, 2015. Comparable sales decreased 6.2% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2016 compared to a comparable sales decrease of 0.9% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2015. Net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2016 was $3.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income for the first six months of the prior fiscal year of $6.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. Results for the first six months of fiscal 2015 include approximately $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for charges associated with the acquisition of Blue Tomato.

At July 30, 2016, the Company had cash and current marketable securities of $52.3 million compared to cash and current marketable securities of $80.8 million at August 1, 2015. The decrease in cash and current marketable securities is a result of stock repurchases and capital expenditures, partially offset by cash generated through operations.

Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated, "We continue to navigate through the current retail environment with a balanced approach to executing our strategic growth objectives and protecting near-term profitability in the face of challenging consumer demand. While our monthly comparable sales improved as the quarter progressed led by solid gains in our men's category, our overall business continues to underperform versus our long-term expectations. Therefore, we continue to manage our expense structure to better align with current trends, which is what allowed us to exceed our bottom line guidance for the quarter. We are confident that we are making the right decisions that will allow us to best serve our customers and expand our global market share while delivering sustained growth and increased shareholder value well into the future."

Zumiez is also pleased to announce that on August 31, 2016, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Fast Times Skateboarding ("Fast Times") for $6.9 million consisting of $5.5 million in cash and $1.4 million in shares of common stock subject to certain pre-closing and post-closing adjustments. Founded in 2008, Fast Times is an Australian specialty retailer of skateboards, hardware, apparel and footwear and currently operates 5 stores and a website at www.fasttimes.com.au. Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez, added, "Fast Times is an important component of the Zumiez global retail network and joins our existing operations in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Our intent is to help the Fast Times team grow their operations across Australia leveraging our proven skills in profitably scaling culture and brand. We are all excited about the opportunity and about having a proven local Australian team to lead the way." Andrew Tebb, one of the co-founders and the General Manager of Fast Times, stated, "We are very excited to be partnering with Zumiez and believe that we have found the right team to help us grow in the Australian marketplace and beyond." Fast Times will continue to operate under the Fast Times name and be headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.

August 2016 Sales

Total net sales for the four-week period ended August 27, 2016 increased 2.6% to $89.5 million, compared to $87.3 million for the four-week period ended August 29, 2015. The Company's comparable sales decreased 1.1% for the four-week period ended August 27, 2016 compared to a comparable sales decrease of 10.7% for the four-week period ended August 29, 2015.

Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter Outlook

The Company is introducing guidance for the three months ending October 29, 2016. Net sales are projected to be in the range of $209 to $213 million resulting in net income per diluted share of approximately $0.21 to $0.26. This guidance is based upon an anticipated comparable sales range of negative 2% to 0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company currently intends to open approximately 29 new stores in fiscal 2016, including up to 6 stores in Canada and 7 stores in Europe.
