Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated, "We are pleased with the sales and earnings growth we delivered for the quarter. Our merchandise and expansion strategies are driving improvements across our business and are continuing to strengthen Zumiez's position as the leading action sports retailer. We remain optimistic that our diverse product offering, compelling mix of brands, and commitment to customer service will distinguish our concept further from the promotional competition and provide us with strategic advantages during the key upcoming selling seasons."

August 2011 Sales

Total net sales for the four-week period ended August 27, 2011 increased 10.9% to $65.9 million, compared to $59.4 million for the four-week period ended August 28, 2010.

Third Quarter 2011 Outlook

The Company is introducing guidance for the three months ending October 29, 2011 of net income per diluted share of approximately $0.37 to $0.39 per diluted share. This guidance is based on an anticipated comparable store sales increase in the low single digit range for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

The Company currently intends to open approximately 45 new stores in fiscal 2011, including its first stores in Canada, with an opening cadence similar to fiscal 2010.
