Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.


On April 19, 2005 RadioShack  Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release
containing certain  information with respect to its first quarter 2005 financial
results. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.


In the press  release,  the  Company  utilized a non-GAAP  financial  measure to
present the  Company's  estimated  2005 free cash flow  guidance.  The Company's
management  believes  that free cash flow is an  appropriate  indication  of the
Company's  ability  to fund  share  repurchases,  repay  maturing  debt,  change
dividend  payments or fund other uses of capital that  management  believes will
enhance  stockholder value.  Management does not intend the presentation of this
non-GAAP  financial measure to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.


                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant  to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934,  the
registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized this 19th day of April, 2005.

        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.
