Goldberg Vice President - Law and Assistant Corporate Secretary EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit No. 99.1 Press Release, dated April 19, 2005. Exhibit 99.1 April 19, 2005 RSH-2005-013 For further information contact: James M. Grant, Kay Jackson, Senior Director, Investor Relations Senior Director, Public Relations (817) 415-7833 (817) 415-3300 investor.relations@radioshack.com Media.relations@radioshack.com RadioShack Corporation Announces First Quarter Financial Results Fort Worth, Texas--April 19, 2005--RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) today announced net income of $55 million or $0.34 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 versus net income of $68 million or $0.41 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Total sales in the first quarter of 2005 were up 3% to $1,123 million, compared to total sales of $1,093 million for the previous year. First quarter 2005 comparable store sales were down 1% versus the prior year. "We are disappointed that our business did not perform as we originally expected during the first quarter. Our profits were lower due primarily to underperformance in the wireless business within our core RadioShack stores," said David Edmondson, president and chief executive officer-elect. "Our non-wireless businesses improved in first quarter 2005, compared with first quarter 2004. RadioShack remains a very profitable business overall, but our focus clearly must be on turning our wireless business around, while continuing to improve our non-wireless businesses." RadioShack established fiscal year 2005 diluted earnings per share guidance of $1.80 to $1.90. The annual guidance is predicated upon a number of year-over-year assumptions. "While we are expecting our total sales to increase in 2005, much of the growth will come from products and channels with gross margin lower than the company average. Also, we expect increases in SG&A and depreciation as we make investments in the future while maintaining cost control with our core business," Edmondson said. In addition, RadioShack also announced estimated 2005 free cash flow(1) guidance of $200 million to $225 million. ----- (1) Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities minus additions to property, plant and equipment (a.k.a. capital expenditures) minus dividends paid.
