BOOKS-A-MILLION, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

——————————

Earnings Increase 40%

 

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (May 29, 2007) -- Books-A-Million, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:BAMM) today announced financial results for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007. Net income increased to $2.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the year-earlier period.

 

Net sales for the 13-week period increased 2.1% to $116.3 million from sales of $113.9 million in the year-earlier period. Comparable store sales for the quarter decreased 0.5% when compared with the 13-week period for the prior year.

 

Commenting on the results, Sandra B. Cochran, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Comparable store sales results improved over fourth quarter trends, driven by an improving media environment, highlighted by Oprah's endorsement of The Secret. Several categories performed well with new age, teen, graphic novels and hardcover fiction showing particular strength. In addition, our continued focus on the fundamentals of our business led to a 40% improvement in earnings when compared to the prior year quarter.”

 

Cochran continues, “As we enter the second quarter we look forward to a strong summer movie lineup and the publication of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows on July 21st.”

 

In addition, the Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share. The dividend will be paid on June 25, 2007, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 11, 2007.
