ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On August 29, 2012, Genesco Inc. issued a press release announcing its fiscal
second quarter earnings and other results of operations. A copy of the press
release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On August 29, 2012, Genesco Inc. also posted on its website, www.genesco.com,
commentary by its chief financial officer on the quarterly results. A copy of
the commentary is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the press release and
commentary furnished herewith contain non-GAAP financial measures, including
adjusted selling, general and administrative expense, operating earnings, pretax
earnings, earnings from continuing operations and earnings per share from
continuing operations, as discussed in the text of the release and commentary
and as detailed on the reconciliation schedule attached to the press release and
commentary. For consistency and ease of comparison with Fiscal 2013's previously
announced earnings expectations and the adjusted results for the prior period
announced last year, neither of which reflected the adjustments, the Company
believes that disclosure of the non-GAAP expense and earnings measures will be
useful to investors.
