Third Quarter 2008 Net Sales Increased 7.9% to $112.2 Million;

Comparable Store Sales Decreased 5.8% in Third Quarter;

Third Quarter 2008 Diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.23

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 20, 2008--Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) today reported results for the third quarter ended November 1, 2008.

Total net sales for the third quarter (13 weeks) ended November 1, 2008 increased by 7.9% to $112.2 million from $104.0 million reported in the third quarter ended November 3, 2007 (13 weeks). The company posted net income for the quarter of $6.8 million or $0.23 per diluted share versus $8.1 million or $0.28 per diluted share in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Comparable store sales decreased 5.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to a 13.2% increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Total net sales for the first nine months (39 week period) of fiscal 2008 increased by 11.1% to $283.2 million from $254.8 million reported in the first nine months of the prior year. The company posted net income of $10.9 million or $0.37 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2008 versus $12.9 million or $0.44 per diluted share in the prior year. Comparable store sales decreased 3.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to an increase of 12.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was $19.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, driven by favorable changes in working capital.

Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated: “While our third quarter earnings performance was in-line with expectations, we did experience sales and product margins during September and October that were below our year-to-date trends through August. Given the recent economic events and their impact on the retail industry, namely a slowdown in traffic levels and a heightened promotional environment, we recently adopted lowered sales and earnings expectations for the remainder of 2008. We still believe that our merchandise mix continues to be one of the most diverse and compelling in the industry and that our stores remain a destination for our consumers.”

2008 Outlook

The Company recently updated its full year outlook for diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.52 to $0.57 for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. This guidance is based on an anticipated opening of 58 new stores and a negative mid-teen comparable store sales decline for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

This guidance is based on our current expectations and includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Although the Company believes there to be a reasonable basis for these forward-looking statements, it can give no assurance that its expectations will prove to be correct. The company reminds investors of the difficulty of accurately assessing future growth given the unpredictability of fashion trends and consumer preferences, boardsports’ popularity and participation rates, general economic conditions, weather, and other business variables and risks.

A conference call will be held today to discuss third quarter results and will be webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET on http://ir.zumiez.com. Participants may also dial (617) 213-4865 followed by the conference identification code of 86858755.
