Foot Locker scores big with Q2 profit, sales

8/21/2015

New York – Foot Locker Inc. scored big in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 with profit and sales that exceeded Wall Street expectations. Net income was $119 million, a 33% increase from $92 million the same period the prior year.



Total sales climbed 3% to $1.69 billion from $1.64 billion. Same-store sales grew 9.6%. Falling selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses aided profit growth, while foreign currency fluctuation had a negative impact on sales growth.



“We extended the momentum with which we started 2015, generating outstanding quarterly sales and profits in the second quarter,” said Richard Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to achieve broadbased and consistent strength across geographies, banners, channels, and categories.”
