Hallo ITURF - Fans,

ich höre seit einiger Zeit immer öfter mal ITURF Radio (www.iturf.com)
echt coole Musik (Live DJ) auch fällt mir dabei auf das immer mehr Werbung auf den verschieden ITURF-Seiten zu finden ist z.B. von ELLE.com. Der Kursverfall ist für mich unerklärlich, zwar sehe ich auch keine Kurse um 50$ aber 15$ sollten auf Sicht drin sein.
Die Marktkapitalisierung von Iturf / Dlia ist geringer als der aktuelle Umsatz. Die hohen Anlauf- oder Marketingkosten sind für solche Unternehmen normal aber hier sollen im Jahr 2001 positive Zahlen geschrieben werden. Selbst im Falle einer Pleite sollte eine Übernahme zu vernüftigen Konditionen zustande kommen - siehe aktuell GIGABELL (Hier kämen eine ganze Reihe Kandidaten infrage , die sicherlich den hohen Bekanntheitsgrad / Seitenklicks und die Umsätze weiterführen wollen z.B. GAP etc.)
Die neuerlichen Kursverluste (bei sehr geringen Umsätzen) sollten also nicht überwertet werden. Ich rate jedem (kein pushversuch) seine Stücke nicht auf diesem Kursniveau zu verkaufen.
Man sollte den Zusammenschluss und die nächsten Umsatzzahlen auf jeden Fall abwarten.
Sehen wir die Sache mal positiv - erreicht Iturf die Hälfte seines hist. Hochs (ca. 66$) - Willkommen im Club der Millionäre. (hahaha)

[flipperPS]

Teicker du sprichst mir aus der Seele. Zugegeben war Iturf bisher mein schlechtestes Investment. Einstieg ca. 8 Euro. Leider ist es sehr ruhig um diese Firma geworden,nicht nur hier sondern auch in USA. Wie man sich vorstellen kann ist auch die Stimmung unter den Aktionären nicht die beste. Dennoch denke auch ich dass man seine Stücke jetzt bestimmt nicht verkaufen sollte. Nach dem Merger mit Delias* sollten steigende Kurse wohl wieder drin sein zumal die Anzahl der Seitenbesuche und das Geschäftskonzept in den Staaten zu funktionieren scheint. Gemessen am Umsatz der beiden Firmen ist Iturf momentan ein Schnapp!

Gerade sehen wir wieder die 1 $ Marke - es scheint was im Busch zu sein.

Es stehen dieses Jahr noch mehere Meldungen an - u.a. TSI Soccer Verkauf etc.

[Dylan]

Hallo Teicker,

wie wird eine ITurfaktie momentan zum Wert Delia gewertet?
1:1 oder war nicht einmal ein Verhältnis für 1,7 ITurfaktien gibt es 1 Delia. Dann wäre der Kurs von 1 Dollar immer noch sehr schwach. Wäre nett wenn man einmal etwas genaueres erfahren könnte. Z.Bsp. kann ITurf in Deutschland momentan überhaupt gehandelt werden?
Gruß Dylan

[teicker]

Hallo Dylan,


der Merger ist durch - d.h. der aktuelle Kurs ist der neue Deliaskurs.

[teicker]

Gehandelt wird nachwievor unter 920385 jetzt aber DELIAS.

[adler13]

Die von dELia*s betriebene Online-Community iTurf.com wird seinen Betrieb einstellen. iTurf.com war als Online-Community und Online-Handelsplattform für 13 bis 24-jährige positioniert. Aufgrund des geringen Interesses dieser Zielgruppe fiel der Verkehr auf den Seiten unter den Erwartungen aus. Die schwachen Besucherzahlen machen es der Betreiberfirma nahezu unmöglich, die Online-Plattform weiter kostendeckend zu betreiben.

Die Schließung von iTurf wird die Entlassung von 25 Mitarbeitern zur Folge haben. Im ablaufenden vierten Quartal will dELiA*s Abschreibungen von $100.000 vornehmen. Nach einer Studie von Nielsen NetRatings verzeichnete iTurf 65.000 Besucher im Monat. Das gesamte dELiA*s Netzwerk wurde von 3,6 Mio. Internet-Surfern aufgesucht. Die Firma will sich nunmehr auf seine bestehenden Online-Seiten gURL.com, TheSpark.com und SparkNotes.com konzentrieren! .

dELiA*s können an der Nasdaq zuletzt auf niedrigem Niveau um über 18% auf $13/16 zulegen.

dELiA*s Corp. Announces Closure of Community Web Site; Company to Discontinue Operations of iTurf.com

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2000--dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIAD) today announced that it will discontinue the operations of iTurf.com, one of eight properties in the company`s network of Web sites. The company said the measure would result in 25 staff reductions. The Company expects to record a one-time charge of approximately $100,000 in the fourth quarter in connection with the action.

"We believe this is the appropriate step to position our online businesses for profitability in this difficult operating environment," said Stephen Kahn, Chief Executive Officer. "According to Nielsen NetRatings, of the 3.6 million unique visitors to our network of web sites in October, approximately 65,000 visited iTurf.com. While iTurf.com represented a small percentage of the network`s overall online traffic, we had substantial resources dedicated to this site. In conducting a comprehensive review of our online businesses, we decided that the disproportionately high cost of running iTurf.com prohibited ongoing investment."

Mr. Kahn continued, "We remain committed to our leading teen properties: dELiAs.com, gURL.com, TheSpark.com and SparkNotes.com. Although the decision to close iTurf.com was a difficult one, we believe it enables us to deploy our financial resources and personnel more effectively, and will better position our online teen properties for success."

"Everyone at iTurf.com has done an amazing job building and cultivating a site with a strong editorial voice and great community features -- notably, in a very short amount of time -- and we appreciate their contributions," Mr. Kahn concluded.

dELiA*s Corp. Announces Shareholder Value Initiatives; Board Authorizes $2 Million Stock Repurchase Program

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 13, 2000--

Exploring Strategic Alternatives for gURL.com, TheSpark.com and

SparkNotes.com

Renegotiates MarketSource Agreement


dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIAD), a leading marketer to consumers between the ages of 13 and 24, today announced a series of initiatives to enhance shareholder value and increase long-term profitability. These include:

Board authorization of a plan to repurchase up to $2.0 million of dELiA*s Class A common stock in the open market and in private transactions from time to time, effective immediately;

Exploration of strategic alternatives with respect to its Internet communities: gURL.com, TheSpark.com, SparkNotes.com and SparkMatch.com;

The renegotiation of the company`s agreement with MarketSource, eliminating the company`s commitment to spend $2.5 million in advertising and marketing services in fiscal 2001. MarketSource, which previously served as a reseller of online advertising for the company, will become the company`s exclusive third party sales agent for premium online advertising.

"The directors of the company, in authorizing the stock repurchase program, have demonstrated their confidence in the underlying strength of the company," said Stephen Kahn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The directors and management view this program as a compelling opportunity to enhance shareholder value."

Mr. Kahn added, "We will fund the stock repurchase program out of savings that we have realized from cost-cutting initiatives at our Internet businesses, and from additional cost synergies resulting from the merger of dELiA*s and iTurf. Following our decision to close iTurf.com, we are continuing to take a hard look at expenses throughout our organization and expect to identify further areas for cost savings in the near term."

The number of shares ultimately purchased will depend on future market conditions. The Board of Directors has reserved the authority to modify or terminate the program at any time in light of changing circumstances.

Mr. Kahn continued, "We are also beginning to explore strategic alternatives with respect to our Internet community businesses to maximize value for our shareholders. As part of this process, we expect to begin evaluating potential partners for these businesses in the near future. Each of our online community properties enjoys tremendous traffic and has strong editorial content that can be leveraged offline, and we believe they represent attractive and unique media opportunities."

"Taken together," Mr. Kahn concluded, "these actions reflect our commitment to enhancing shareholder value and increasing the long-term profitability of dELiA*s Corp." About dELiA*s Corp.

Es scheint sich was zu rühren.Bei dem Volumen in den USA müssen wohl nun auch institutionelle Anleger wieder einsteigen. Mal sehen bis wohin Dliad stigen kann. Alte höhen habe ich eh abgeschrieben aber 4 Euro könnten schon nach mal drin sein wenn man das KUV betrachtet. Was meint ihr?

Hi,
momentan beflügelt die Nachricht, das Delias 2 Mio. Aktien zurückkaufen wird, den Markt erheblich. Dies sollte so auch in den nä.Tagen weitergehen.
Ich hoffe, daß jeder Daytrader und sonstige Aktionär mitmacht, um die Aktie wieder etwas nach oben zu bringen. Denn der potentielle Käufer mit Delias steht ja in den Startlöchern. Ich hoffe auch, daß der Run bis ca. 4-5 Euro gehen kann.

Press Release
dELiA*s Corp. Announces Shareholder Value Initiatives
Board Authorizes $2 Million Stock Repurchase Program
Exploring Strategic Alternatives for gURL.com, TheSpark.com and SparkNotes.com
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 13, 2000-- Renegotiates MarketSource Agreement

dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIAD - news), a leading marketer to consumers between the ages of 13 and 24, today announced a series of initiatives to enhance shareholder value and increase long-term profitability. These include:

Board authorization of a plan to repurchase up to $2.0 million of dELiA*s Class A common stock in the open market and in private transactions from time to time, effective immediately;
Exploration of strategic alternatives with respect to its Internet communities: gURL.com, TheSpark.com, SparkNotes.com and SparkMatch.com;
The renegotiation of the company`s agreement with MarketSource, eliminating the company`s commitment to spend $2.5 million in advertising and marketing services in fiscal 2001. MarketSource, which previously served as a reseller of online advertising for the company, will become the company`s exclusive third party sales agent for premium online advertising.
``The directors of the company, in authorizing the stock repurchase program, have demonstrated their confidence in the underlying strength of the company,`` said Stephen Kahn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. ``The directors and management view this program as a compelling opportunity to enhance shareholder value.``

Mr. Kahn added, ``We will fund the stock repurchase program out of savings that we have realized from cost-cutting initiatives at our Internet businesses, and from additional cost synergies resulting from the merger of dELiA*s and iTurf. Following our decision to close iTurf.com, we are continuing to take a hard look at expenses throughout our organization and expect to identify further areas for cost savings in the near term.``

The number of shares ultimately purchased will depend on future market conditions. The Board of Directors has reserved the authority to modify or terminate the program at any time in light of changing circumstances.

Mr. Kahn continued, ``We are also beginning to explore strategic alternatives with respect to our Internet community businesses to maximize value for our shareholders. As part of this process, we expect to begin evaluating potential partners for these businesses in the near future. Each of our online community properties enjoys tremendous traffic and has strong editorial content that can be leveraged offline, and we believe they represent attractive and unique media opportunities.``

``Taken together,`` Mr. Kahn concluded, ``these actions reflect our commitment to enhancing shareholder value and increasing the long-term profitability of dELiA*s Corp.``

[teicker]

Hallo Hajo,

ich habe gerade nochmal 2000 Stück in Frankfurt zu 1 Euro gekauft und hoffe auf weiteren Anstieg.

[teicker]

Die ITURF Seite ist schon eingestellt und 25 Mitarbeiter entlassen. (EXTRAKosten 100.000$ im 4ten Quartal)

Für die kommenden Monate wird aber das Gehalt gespart 25 x XXX$. (ich schätze ca. 100.000$ pro Monat )

Delias sollte nun schnell in die Gewinnzone kommen, die eingesparten Lohnkosten und steigende Umsätze werden hierbei helfen.

Der Versuch eine Internetplattform für Jugendliche zu schaffen ist gescheitert. Es wurde viel Geld verschwendet - aber das Kerngeschäft ist gesund. Vielleicht wird die eine oder andere Seite noch verkauft (z.B. TSI Soccer ca 35Mio $ werden hier wohl erwartet Gerücht!!??!!)

Der Aktienrückkauf wird ebenfalls den Kurs stützen.

Ich rechne bei einem besseren Umfeld mit Kursen um die 4$ in den nächsten 4 Monaten.

Ab dem 19.12.2000 soll wieder unter dem Kürzel dlia in den USA gehandelt werden (zur Zeit noch dliad).

Bitte schreibt Eure Meinung zu Delias.

[teicker]

Hallo,

der Merger ist vollbracht und ITURF vom Kurszettel verschwunden.

Delias 49700000 Aktien (jetzt incl. ITURF-Aktivitäten) sind mit nur ca. 52 Mio $ bewertet (Kurs 1,06 $) - bei einem Jahresumsatz von ca. 200 Mio $!!!

Ausserdem ist ein Aktienrückkauf bei Delias geplant.

Sollte das Weihnachtsgeschäft gut gelaufen sein und die Zahlen entsprechend ausfallen ist in 2001 mit einem Kursschub zu rechnen.

Viel Glück beim traden.

[teicker]

Delias mit guten Plus - Kurs 1,31 $.

Ich sehe den Kurs bei ca. 2 - 4 $ in den nächsten 12 Wochen.

[Dylan]

@ teicker

der Kurs von ITurf kommt von ca. 25 Euro, da tröstet es wenig wenn er in den nächsten Wochen auf 2 - 4 Euro steigt.
Ich hoffe es wird im laufe 2001 noch ein bißchen mehr gen Norden gehen, denn wenn nicht sehe ich leider auch für Delias sehr schwarz.
Nichts für ungut, einen guten Rutsch und ein erfolgreiches Jahr mit EX ITurf wünscht Dir und mir Dylan

[teicker]

Hallo Dylan,

ich denke wir werden höhere Kurse als 2 -4 Euro sehen.

Die neue Gesellschaft Delias / Iturf hat 49.700.000 Aktien im Umlauf bei einem Kurs von 1,41$ = 69.893.110$


Last Sale: $ 1.4063 Net Change: 0.0938
Share Volume: 774,300 Previous Close: $ 1.3125
52 week high: $ 17.5 52 week low: $ 0.5
P/E Ratio: NE Total Shares Outstanding: 49,700,000
Market Cap: $ 69,893,110
Quelle: www.nasdaq.com

Es soll noch ein Verkauf der Website TSI soccer anstehen.
(Die Einzelhandelsgeschäfte sind schon geschlossen.)


Ausserdem ist die Website Iturf eingestellt worden - dient nur noch als Link zu den anderen Sites (25 Mitarbeiter wurden entlassen - Ersparnis 2,5 Mio $ ?)

Die Einzelhandelsverkäufe und Internetverkäufe dürften in 2001 noch einmal um einige % wachsen.

Delias ist kein Internetunternehmen mehr! (Quelle und Neckermann sind auch keine Internet-Unternehmen - bloss weil sie etwas über das Internet verkaufen.)

Hauptgeschäftsfeld ist der Kataloghandel plus die über 30 Einzelhandelsgeschäfte (Link zur Storeliste: http://delias.iturf.com/o1/custom.d/inform/store_frame.html?… - dazu kommt noch der Verkauf im Internet (siehe www.delias.com).

Der Gesamtumsatz wird für 2000 bei über 200Mio $ liegen - somit liegt zur Zeit eine klare Unterbewertung vor.

Sollte Delias in 2001 in die Gewinnzone rutschen sollten Kurse um die 6- 9 $ drin sein.

Kurse von 30$ oder mehr für Iturf waren allerdings eine Übertreibung nach oben. Leider wurde viel Cash in den Sand gesetzt (z.B. OnTap.com) - daher ist die Verägerung bei vielen Anlegern gross - dieses Vertrauen muss erst zurückgewonnen werden.

Die Höchtkurse werden wir nie wieder sehen aber mit etwas Glück zweistellige Kurse.

Einen guten Rutsch und viel Glück im neuen Jahr.

[teicker]

Neue Gerüchte aus dem Yahoo Board:

Einstieg bei Delias durch GAP

Verkauf von TSI soccer

Vielleicht platzt im Januar eine Bombe.

Warum sollte sonst S. Kahn (CEO) Aktien zurück kaufen wollen.

Bitte eure Meinungen.

[teicker]

Na wer sagts denn - Kurs deutlich über 2$$.

Ich dedanke mich bei allen die mir noch vor 2 Wochen welche für 0,75Cent verkauft haben.

Bin jetzt endlich im Plus (obwohl ich 3000Stück bei 11Euro gekauft habe.)

[Dylan]

@ teicker,

im Plus???? Dann müßtest Du ja weit über 30.000 neue Aktien gekauft haben. Habe nirgends so große Umsätze bei DELIAS
gesehen. Nicht doch ein bißchen übertrieben? Wünsche Dir und mir trotzdem Glück mit Delias.
Gruß Dylan

[teicker]

Ich habe seit Monaten immer wieder Stücke gekauft und wieder verkauft.

Durch diese teilweise kleinen Gewinne bin ich jetzt im Plus.

Habe gerade 1500 Stück in Frankfurt zu 2,4Euro verkauft.

[Dylan]

@ teicker

bin langsam guter Hoffnung, der Markt ist gefallen aber Delias stand zum Schluß im Plus.
Gruß Dylan

[teicker]

Ein kleines Beispiel:

Börsenkapitalisierung Delias 122 Mio $ und Intershop 1 Mrd Euro.

Es besteht nur der kleine Unterschied dass Delias doppelt soviel Umsatz macht.


Mich verwundern diese Kursanstiege nicht, da nach dem Merger Klarheit herrscht und Sparmassmahmen ergriefen wurden.


Auf steigende Kurse

[adler13]

Noch ein paar Tage wie gestern, und dann würde die ganze Angelegenheit schon besser aussehen....

Hat Jemand eine Ahnung, weshalb der Kurs so angezogen hat?? Hoffentlich gibt`s heute nicht zu viele Gewinnmitnahmen... Wäre schade..

Grüsse an alle
adler13

[teicker]

Man rechnet heute oder noch diese Woche mit neuen Meldungen,
ausserdem sind die Weihnachtsumsätze positiv ausgefallen.

Ich habe leider nur noch 1000 Stück da ich Gewinne mitgenommen habe und nach dem starken Anstieg auf fallende Kurse getippt habe.

[teicker]

Ich bin mittlerweile ausgestiegen - und warte die gesamte Börsensituation ab.

Da viele der Ansicht sind die düsteren Aussichten in den USA seien nur Blabla (weil jetzt mal ein paar Unternehmen bessere Zahlen gemeldet haben u.a. IBM )diese sollten sich die Rede von A. Greenspan vom 25.01.2001 einmal genau durchlesen.

Viele Firmen fangen jetzt erst an Ihre Mitarbeiter zu entlassen (u.a. auch ITURF/Delias , Lucent (LU) will 10.000 Mitarbeiter entlassen, Messagemedia (MESG), Interspeed (ISPD) usw. alle entlassen einen Teil der Belegschaft)

Diese Entlassungen von zum Teil Top- Leuten muss sich auf die Konjunktur negativ auswirken - auch sorgt die schlechte Börsenstimmung nicht unbedingt für einen Kaufrausch im Einzelhandel.

Selbst in deutschen Textil-Fachzeitschriften z.b. in der TW vom 25.01.2001 ist zu lesen " Härtere Zeiten für den US-Handel" -
von einer Konjunkturflaute wäre auch Delias mit seinen Einzelhandelsgeschäften und Kataloghandel betroffen.

Durch den Verkauf der Internetseiten kommt zwar Geld in die Kasse - aber es schwindet die Internet- und Wachstumsphantasie. Trotzdem ist Delias aktuell noch unterbewertet.

Aus meinen älteren Postings könnt Ihr entnehmen, das ich nie pushen oder bashen wollte - ich bin eben zur Zeit nur etwas vorsichtiger geworden. Bei Kursen um 2Euro werde ich aber wieder einsteigen.

[teicker]

Neue News:

Man geht von ca. 160Mio $ Umsatz für 2001 aus und hat noch ca. 20Mio Cash.

Ich finde das ist keine gute Meldung - ich bin bis jetzt von Umsätzen von ca. 200Mio$ ausgegangen.


dELiA*s Corp. Presents Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2001

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 30, 2001--dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIA), a leading multi-channel retailer to teenage girls and young women, today announced its outlook for fiscal 2001.

In connection with the merger of dELiA*s Inc. and iTurf Inc. in November 2000 and previously announced plans to dispose of its non-core operations, dELiA*s issued guidance for its dELiA*s-branded businesses: dELiA*s Direct, which includes the dELiA*s catalog and the dELiAs.cOm web site; and dELiA*s Retail, which includes the company`s 31 premier retail stores and four outlet stores.

The company stated that it expects consolidated revenues to be in the range of $160-165 million in fiscal 2001. The company also said it expects both dELiA*s Direct and dELiA*s Retail to be EBITDA-positive for the full fiscal year, and that it projects positive earnings per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

Dennis Goldstein, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We are pleased with the progress we are making as we continue to focus our business on the core dELiA*s franchise. In 2001 we look forward to strong positive EBITDA contributions from both the Direct and Retail segments of the business. We are optimistic that the company`s results will increasingly reflect the success of the strategic initiatives we are implementing to enhance shareholder value."

Financial and operating guidance for fiscal 2001 by business segment is as follows:

dELiA*s Direct

-- Revenues of $103-105 million
-- Gross margins in the range of 51-52%
-- EBITDA contribution of $3.0-3.3 million
-- Catalog circulation of approximately 45 million

dELiA*s Retail

-- Revenues of $55-58 million
-- Gross margins in the range of 46-47%
-- EBITDA contribution of $3.0-3.3 million
-- 10 planned premier store openings

2001 Consolidated Results

-- Revenues of $160-165 million, with approximately 20% of sales
expected to fall in each of the first three quarters, and 40%
of sales to fall in the fourth quarter
-- Gross margins of approximately 50% in each quarter of the
fiscal year
-- SG&A of approximately 60-62% of revenues in the first half,
dropping to 52-54% in the third quarter and 45-47% in the
fourth quarter
-- EBITDA losses in the range of $2.6-2.8 million in the first
quarter, $2.7-2.9 million in the second quarter, $800,000 to
$1.0 million in the third quarter and positive EBITDA of
$3.5-3.7 million in the fourth quarter.
-- Basic weighted average shares outstanding of 36.5 million


Projected consolidated results include corporate overhead expenses, the iTurf Internet Media Businesses for the first two quarters of 2001 and exclude the TSI Soccer and Storybook Heirlooms businesses for the full year. On January 23, 2001, the company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the TSI Soccer Corporation`s catalog and Internet businesses. On January 25, 2001, the company announced the signing of a letter of intent with Barnes & Noble for the sale of SparkNotes.com.

Capital Resources

-- Projected cash balance of approximately $20 million at the
beginning of fiscal 2001
-- Credit facility allowing the company to borrow amounts based
on inventory levels up to a maximum of $25 million;
approximately $3 million currently outstanding


The company also noted it would likely record largely non-cash restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and in the first half of fiscal 2001 in connection with the disposition of its non-core assets, which are not reflected in these projections.

Stephen Kahn, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In 2001, we expect our dELiA*s-branded business to benefit from ongoing gross margin improvement due to improved production and sourcing, as well as enhanced expense leverage as our store base continues to expand. We believe these factors will further contribute to substantial EPS profitability in 2002."

@teicker,
in USA scheint man das anders zusehen. Z.Zt. gehen sie dort 2stellig in die Höhe. Hoffentlich keine Eintagsfliege oder
Daytraiding.
Gruß Dylan

[teicker]

Hallo Dylan,

ich habe zum Glück zur Zeit keine Aktien mehr (bin auch noch rechtzeitig bei DVN 509300 raus )-
DElias sollte aber in den nächsten Monaten seinen Weg machen.
Die 600% Sprünge sind aber vorbei - ich sehe ein Potential von ca. 70-100% in 2001.

Allerdings traue ich dem ganzen Braten nicht mehr ohne mir Gedanken zu machen - Delias / Iturf hat soviel Geld in den Sand gesetzt - warum sollten Sie es auf einmal besser machen. Es besteht somit ein Managementrisiko. S. Kahn wird in den Amiboards nur beschimpft und runtergemacht.

Sollte die Börsenlage weiterhin negativ bleiben (wovon ich ausgehe - da die meisten Unternehmen überbewertet sind u.a Intershop, Comdirect, T-online, Commerce One, usw) wird auch Delias wieder fallen - falls nicht ist hier eine Übernahme im Busch.

Ein schönes Wochenende

TSI Soccer ist verkauft - nur zu welchem Preis???
(ist schätze so ca. 20-35Mio $)

Für 2001 sind ca. 160Mio$ Umsatz geplant - die Market Capitalization beträgt zur Zeit 129,2Mio$ - Kurs bei 3,38$)

Man hat noch 20Mio$ in Cash.

Ich bin gespannt was heute in den Usa passiert.

[Dylan]

@teicker,
der Kurs liegt in USA bei 4 Dollar, lag im laufe des Handels schon höher. Vielleicht finden die es ja gut, daß sich Delia von dem Schrott trennt, für den I Turf in den letzten Jahr viel Geld verpulvert hat. Wäre nicht böse, wenn es noch einige Zeit so weiter laufen würde.

Mich würde einmal interessieren ob noch jemand von Euch in delias investiert ist????? Wenn ja, was er von den letzten Wochen hält, denn Delias hat sich trotz des schlechtem Umfelds nicht nur gut gehalten, sondern schlägt eine eindeutige Richtung gen Norden ein. Liegt das nur am Aktienrückkaufprogramm oder gibt es auch noch andere Gründe.
Von US-Analysten steht ja eine neue Analyse bevor. In Deutschland scheint der Handel allerdings eingeschlafen zu sein. Über Antworten würde ich mich freuen.

viel erfolg!

neues coverage für aloy! krusziel laut w w hambrect 30$!
das sollte sich im kurs von dlia wohl auch niederschlagen zumal das market cap von dlia noch unter dem aloys liegt!
vor den zahlen aufgepasst!

[Dylan]

@Flipper,
wie war das Kursziel von Hamprect vorher? Was hat aloys mit delia zu tun? Bin darüber überhaupt nicht informiert. :-)
Gruß Dylan

[flipperPS]

@dylan

alloy online verkauft ebenfalls klamotten übers netz. darüberhinaus bieten sie der gleichen zielgruppe ein forum. (siehe website)
altes kz meines wissens 21$

du in dlia noch/wieder investiert?

[Dylan]

@ flipper,
ich bin leider 1 Woche vor der Übernahme von dlia zu einem Kurs von 4 Euro noch einmal mit 6000 Stück bei ITurf eingestiegen und heute froh die 4 wiederzusehen. Hätte ich damals nur 1 Woche gewartet, wäre ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt garantiert nicht eingestiegen, sonder irgendwann zwischen 1 - 2 Euro. Bin momentan etwas ratlos wie ich mich verhalten soll.
Gruß Dylan

[Dylan]

@flipper,
der Kauf war logischerweise nicht 1 Woche vor Übernahme durch DLIA, sondern 1 Woche vor der Bekanntgabe der Übernahme, danach viel der Kurs wie ein Stein und ich war 14 Tage nicht da um handeln zu können.
Gruß Dylan

[flipperPS]

@dylan

ich hatte noch einen teil iturf für 12 euro. Das is nun über ein jahr her aber durch zukäufe von dlia um die 2 euro habe ich meine kohle wieder. alles was jetzt noch kommt ist dann plus. hast du ne ahnung wann genau die nächsten zahlen kommen? es gibt da unterschiedliche meinungen! schätze dass der kurs nach den zahlen erst mal einknickt! was meinst du?

gruß

flipperPS

[Dylan]

@flipper,
nein weiß ich auch nicht genau, irgendwann Mitte März. Ich beobachte den Handel in den USA fast täglich, bei hohen Umsätzen bewegt er sich Anfangs fast immer um den Vortagskurs, teilweise auch im Minus um am Schluß wieder deutlich im Plus zu enden. Hat das was mit dem angekündigten Aktienrückkauf, wie von DLIA angekündigt, zu tun? In Deutschland ist der Handel in den letzten Monaten fast eingeschlafen, bis heute, für unsere Verhältnisse ein
Riesenumsatz bei steigenden Kursen. Ich blicke im Moment wirklich nicht mehr durch bei DLIA. Das ist ja meine momentane Unsicherheit. Ob der Kurs nach den Zahlen wieder einknickt, i dont know. Wäre für jede neue Information über DLIA dankbar. Sie haben in der letzten Zeit ja viel von den
Firmen getrennt die ITurf seinerzeit ins Boot geholt hat. Anscheinend ist das der bessere Weg und wird in USA anerkannt.
Gruß Dylan

[Dylan]

@flipper,
habe mich heute von 70% meiner Aktien getrennt. Irgendwie ist das für mich alles etwas nebelös. Falls es so weiter gehen sollte, 30% halte ich ja noch, die aber bis zum bitteren Ende oder was ich hoffe, bis zum eindeutigen Tournaround, also alten Höchstkursen von ITurf. Glaube zwar auch nicht daran, fühle mich so aber wohler.
Gruß Dylan
PS Verkauf für 5,20 Euro

Die Zahlen kommen am 27.03.2001

Delias steht eine spannende nächste Woche bevor - ich glaube aber die Woche wird mit Kursverlusten enden.

Bis zuletzt bin ich von Umsätzen für ITURF und Delias von ca. 200Mio $ ausgegangen - erwartet werden für 2001 nur noch 160Mio$.

Iturf`s Verluste (durch Werbung in den Delias Katalogen) wurde bei Delias als Umsatz gebucht - somit kam der hohe Umsatz zustande. Diese Zeiten sind jetzt aber vorbei - Delias muss jetzt beweisen, dass mit dem Geld der Aktionäre verantwortungsvoll umgegangen wird. Die Fehlinvestitionen der Vergangenheit dürfen sich nicht mehr wiederholen und ein positives Ergebnis ist noch in diesem Jahr erforderlich um nicht ohne Cash dazustehen. Die Verkäufe von Tsi Soccer usw. sollten sich positiv auf das Jahresergebnis 2001 auswirken.

Die schwächere Us Konjunktur ist hingegen kein gutes Zeichen für einen Einzelhandelsunternehmen.

Also auf eine spannende Woche - es besteht eine 50 / 50 Chance.

Mein Tip zur Zeit abwarten: Kursziel für die nächste Woche 3$

[teicker]

Es ist vollbracht - auch der letzte Schrott wurde jetzt an den Mann gebracht.

Jeden Tag eine gute Nachricht sollte dem Kurs helfen, ich aber bleibe bei meinem Kursziel von 3$ für diese Woche.

Mal sehen wie heute in den USA die Meldung ankommt - vor einem Jahr hätte es ein Kursfeuerwerk gegeben. + 10% sollten drin sein.

dELiA*s Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter Results Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 21, 2001--dELiA*s Corp (NasdaqLIA)

-- Core dELiA*s Business EBITDA-Positive

-- dELiA*s Multi-Channel Sales Increase 37%; Gross Margin Up 610
Basis Points

-- Merger and Restructuring Result in One-Time Largely Non-Cash
Charges


dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIA), a leading multi-channel retailer to teenage girls and young women, today announced financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended February 3, 2001.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, dELiA*s Inc. recombined with its majority-owned subsidiary iTurf Inc. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as an acquisition by dELiA*s Inc. of the minority interest in iTurf. As such, the company, renamed dELiA*s Corp., reports the historical results of dELiA*s Inc. for periods prior to the merger with prior period earnings per share restated to reflect the transaction. The merger was part of a broader corporate restructuring whereby the Company took significant steps during fiscal 2000, particularly in the fourth quarter, to focus on its core dELiA*s business.

Core dELiA*s sales, which include sales from the dELiA*s catalog, dELiAs.com and dELiA*s retail stores, increased 37.3% to $60.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 from $44.2 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Gross margin increased 610 basis points to 48.6% from 42.5% a year ago. Earnings from operations for the core dELiA*s businesses before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation charges and restructuring were $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to a loss of $6.8 million last year.

Stephen Kahn, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, sales in the core dELiA*s business increased 37% and 38%, respectively. In addition to this strong sales performance, we are especially pleased to note that both dELiA*s Direct and dELiA*s Retail were EBITDA-positive in the fourth quarter. At retail, we recorded high-single-digit comparable store sales, and in the direct business, we saw significant top line growth driven by our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit productivity gains."

On a consolidated basis, net sales for the quarter increased 13.2% to $76.4 million from $67.5 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Net loss in the fourth quarter before merger and restructuring and other one-time charges was $7.3 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to a loss of $9.1 million, or $0.37 per merger-adjusted share in the same period last year. The net loss after these charges was $17.8 million, or $0.55 per share, compared to a loss of $1.8 million, or $0.07 per merger-adjusted share in the same period last year. Consolidated results for the fourth quarter include businesses divested during the quarter or subsequent to the quarter`s end and non-core businesses being sold or exited.

Mr. Kahn stated, "As we begin to see the positive impact of the changes we made in fiscal 2000, we remain very enthusiastic about our plans to further increase the reach of the dELiA*s brand in every channel and enhance financial performance. We believe that we are well positioned to successfully maintain our leadership position in the teen market in our direct business and to pursue a compelling growth opportunity through our retail expansion."

"We are nearing completion of our divestiture program, which will enable us to focus solely on our dELiA*s multi-channel business. To that end, we are pleased to have completed the sale of TheSpark.com and SparkNotes.com to Barnes & Noble earlier than expected. We are also currently in discussions with a number of parties regarding the sale of our remaining online community property, gURL.com. As we announced in February, we divested TSI Soccer`s direct business. And finally, we elected to wind down Storybook Heirlooms by the end of May to maximize cash recovery during its peak season."

Net sales for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2001 increased 12.7% to $215.1 million from $190.8 million for fiscal 1999. The net loss for fiscal 2000, including significant merger and restructuring charges, was $79.7 million, or $2.98 per share compared to net income, including several significant non-operating items, of $11.0 million or $0.42 per diluted share last year.

At 9:00 a.m. EST, on March 21st, the Company`s management team will host a conference call to review the financial results, which will be broadcast at www.delias.com/investor. The call will be archived online until March 28th. A telephonic replay will also be available from noon EST March 21st through March 28th.

Umsatzplan 2001 160.000.000$

Wo ist hier die 37% - 38% Steigerung von der Herr Kahn spricht?

Bitte schreibt eure Meinungen

[teicker]

Ich möchte mich ja nicht selber loben - aber Schlusskurs heute in den USA 3$!!! Sagt nicht euch hätte keiner gewarnt.

[teicker]

Seid Ihr alle ausgestiegen??

Hat hier keiner mehr was zu schreiben?

[flipperPS]

Nö,es gibt momentan halt nix zu schreiben! Da du 3$ prophezeit hast und der Kurs da jetzt gerade steht gibts nix zu melden!

[flipperPS]

in USA bewegt sich der Kurs heute mächtig!Zeiweise 22% im Plus bei relativ hohen Umsätzen (im Vergleich mit den letzten Wochen)! Könnte mit den nächsten Zahlen zusammenhängen. Ich denke dass wir bis Ende des Monats die 5€ sehen werden.

[flipperPS]

hi dylan, ja gibt es!Bin wieder und mit einer Pos noch in DLIA drin. Bin immer noch fest davon überzeugt dass DLIA in diesem Jahr 2 stellig werden könnte! Mal die Zahlen mitte 06 abwarten. Da geht bestimmt noch was!! was meinst du?

Gruß, flipper

[Dylan]

@flipper,
wie schon weiter unten erwähnt, ich habe ca. 70% meiner
DLIA Aktien verkauft. Den Rest halte ich bis zum Ende
oder der Zweistelligkeit, allerdings muß dabei mindesterns eine 2 als erste Zahl stehen.
Wollte eigentlich bei 2 Euro wieder einsteigen, glaube aber mittlerweile nicht das wir da wieder hinkommen. Allerdings glaube ich auch nicht an einen zweistelligen Kurs in 2001, frühestens im nächsten Jahr.

Hallo flipper,


hier ist die Meldung (siehe unten)
die für den starken Kursanstieg am 9Mai verantwortlich war.

Auch dies ist eine gute Meldung.

Da die Einzelhandelsumsätze in den USA immer noch steigen - rechne ich mit sehr guten Zahlen. (Habe ich vor einigen Wochen noch anders gesehen.)

Mein Kursziel für die nächsten 2 Monate 6$ - (bei guten Zahlen 10$ bis Ende 2001)

Delia`s Corp Names Andrea Weiss President

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Delia`s Corp. (DLIA) confirmed that it named Andrea M. Weiss president to replace Evan Guillemin, who was named to the newly created position of chief operating officer.
Guillemin will assume responsibility for the retailer`s direct division, which was previously overseen by Estelle DeMuesy, who left the company to pursue other opportunities.

An earlier story incorrectly said DeMuesy was the company`s former chief operating officer.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Wednesday that Delia`s hired Weiss, 45, as the company attempts to transform itself into a major retailer. The Journal said Weiss has earned a reputation as a talented store operations executive. She is charged with guiding the upstart`s growth.

Delia`s said in a press release Wednesday that Weiss was also named a director. She was executive vice president and chief stores officer for Limited Inc. (LTD).

Hier die Meldung zum Run von gestern:

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 29, 2001--dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIA), a leading multi-channel retailer to teenage girls and young women, today announced that it has completed the divestiture of substantially all of the assets of its gURL.com online content and community site to Primedia Inc. The site will be integrated with Primedia`s Teen Internet Initiative.

Stephen Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of dELiA*s, stated, "The sale of gURL.com represents the final step in divesting the Company`s non-core businesses. The Company is now focused solely on building the dELiA*s brand in every channel, including catalog, Internet and retail. We are delighted to have the opportunity to dedicate all of our resources to expanding our core dELiA*s franchise." Mr. Kahn concluded, "The gURL staff has built a great online media property and we are pleased that they are moving forward with a strong, complementary partner."

"Primedia has the most successful media platform in the teen market, reaching more than 75 percent of that demographic everyday," said Fred Seibert, leader of Primedia`s Teen Internet Initiative. "By integrating the truly unique content from gURL across our existing teen Internet sites, we will be able to expand our new media presence and enhance the experience for our users and most importantly do so in a cost-effective and time efficient manner."

Primedia`s significant reach into the teen market is powered by the integrated marketing of its print, Internet, television and live event platforms. Those brands include Seventeen, Your Prom, and the Primedia Youth Entertainment Group (Tiger Beat, Teen Beat, BOP, and six other magazines).

Auch mein letztes Kursziel wurde schnell erreicht!
(siehe mein Posting vom 18.05.2001)

Ich würde jetzt bei diesen Kursen zum Ausstieg raten.

Die Luft nach oben ist jetzt sehr dünn!!

Ein Unternehmen wie Delias ist mit ein KUV von 1 gut bewertet.
(Die Firma Mexx wurde z.B. an Liz Cl. für 300Mio verkauft machte aber 350Mio Umsatz.)

[teicker]

Delias hat im letzten Quartal deutlich weniger umgesetzt als in 2000.

Auch sollen ca. 5 Mio Aktien von Zeit zur Zeit verkauft werden. Ich würde den Anstieg zum Ausstieg nutzen.

hast recht teicker!!!aber ein bisschen geht noch,vergleich mal DLIA mit Aloy!Auf jeden Fall sollte man sich absichern!

Delia`s Files 5 Million Common Share Shelf

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Delia`s Corp. (DLIA) filed to sell up to 5 million shares of common stock from time to time, according to a shelf registration statement filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company intends to use the net proceeds to build and open new retail stores, for working capital, for general purposes and to repay debt under its revolving line of credit.

Delia`s is a leading multichannel retailer to teenage girls and young women.

[teicker]

Neue Zahlen kommen am 30.04.2003

[teicker]

Zur Zeit besteht hier eine gute Chance sein Einsatz zu vervielfachen.

Am 30.04.03 ist ein CC mit Veröffentlichung der Quartalszahlen per Ende Januar 2003. (Man rechnet mit 0,01$ Gewinn)

Durch die Lizensgebühr von Schottensten sind über 16 Mio $ Cash in die Kassen Delias geflossen (weitere Gebühren werden fliessen) somit ist das Überleben für ein weiteres Jahr gesichert.

Thema Delisting: Bei guten Zahlen sollte die 1 $ Marke schnell nach oben durchbrochen werden , somit wäre das Thema Delisting vom Tisch.

Bei schlechten Zahlen ist ein Abrutschen bis auf 0,20$ möglich.

Bei einer Marktkapitalisierung von deutlich unter 20 Mio $ und einem Jahresumsatz von über 150 Mio $ ist Delias zur Zeit eine Sünde (Kauf) wert.

[teicker]

Bis Mittwoch sollte der Kurs noch etwas anspringen - mit den Zahlen wird sich alles weitere zeigen.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2003-- dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIA - News), a leading multichannel retailer to teenage girls and young women, today announced that it has completed an amendment of its existing loan with Wells Fargo Retail Finance II, LLC. The amendment provides for a three-year $20 Million secured credit facility.
"We are excited to continue our relationship with Wells Fargo, as they have been a strong financial partner over the last year for us," said Stephen Kahn, Chairman and CEO of dELiA*s Corp. "This amendment extends our loan facility and improves our borrowing terms, which reflects the licensing deal we announced last month. We still have work to do, but the continued confidence of the banking team at Wells is a key component of our efforts to achieve financial stability," Mr. Kahn added.

Despite the Wells Fargo amendment, the company believes it must pursue other financing alternatives as well, said Evan Guillemin, Chief Financial Officer. "We continue to explore a wide variety of alternatives -- with management and with third-party investors -- to raise additional equity capital and to refinance our $2.9 million mortgage, maturing in August, on our Hanover, PA-based distribution facility. We are pursuing these additional financing alternatives to further strengthen our balance sheet and ensure we have adequate liquidity."

The company believes that if it can secure approximately $2 million in additional capital and a refinancing of the full amount of the mortgage, it will be able to receive an unqualified audit opinion for its fiscal 2002 financial statements to be included in its Form 10-K. Mr. Guillemin said, "for that reason, and to provide the most comprehensive picture of the company`s financial position and the current business trends, we plan to file for an extension of time to file our 10-K beyond the required deadline of Friday, May 2. Once we are ready to file, we will host a conference call to discuss both current trends and the 2002 financials

dELiA*s Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter Results
Thursday May 8, 6:42 pm ET


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2003--dELiA*s Corp. (NASDAQLIA - News), a leading multichannel retailer to teenage girls and young women, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fifty-two weeks ended February 1, 2003.

The Company reported net sales for the quarter of $49.8 million, as compared to sales of $49.0 million in the prior year. Retail sales increased 35%, driven by new store openings. Direct sales decreased 16% on a 23% reduction in circulation. The net loss for the quarter was $12.4 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.14 per share in the same period last year. Included in the net loss for the fourth quarter were facility shutdown and store impairment charges totaling $2.7 million, or $0.06 per share. The Company also incurred expenses of $1.6 million or $0.04 per share for inventory reserves on Winter/Holiday goods and costs related to recent financings.

Stephen Kahn, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The fourth quarter, which represents our Holiday season, continued to be impacted significantly by the same product and planning miscues that negatively affected our Back to School and Fall business. Off-trend and over-planned merchandise contributed to significant margin deterioration and depressed sales throughout the fourth quarter. By mid-March, business started returning to normalized gross margins and we are now seeing improved performance from our repositioned, market-driven product assortment in all channels."

On a consolidated basis, net sales for the full year of fiscal 2002 decreased 4.2% to $137.6 million from $143.7 million in the same period last year. The Company`s net loss before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in fiscal 2002 was $34.4 million, or $0.76 per share. After the positive effect of a change in accounting principle, net loss for the full year of fiscal 2002 was $19.0 million, or $0.42 per share. The loss for the same period last year was $28.5 million, or $0.70 per share.

Beginning in August of 2002, the Company took steps to rationalize its management team, reduce overhead costs, work through merchandise issues and stabilize its balance sheet. Mr. Kahn continued, "Over the last six months, we have eliminated nearly a third of our corporate staff while realigning our product offering and reducing our inventory exposure. Additionally, we have attended to our balance sheet by completing a series of financial transactions, including the brand licensing deal announced in February and the amendment to our Wells Fargo financing announced last week. Clearly the operating environment remains tough, but we are committed to continuing to take the appropriate steps to successfully turn around the business." He noted that the Company was continuing to explore alternatives -- with management and with third-party investors -- to raise additional equity capital and to refinance the existing $2.9 million mortgage, maturing in August, on the Company`s Hanover, Pa.-based distribution facility.

As previously announced, the Company has delayed filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, pending resolution of the potential financing transactions referred to above to ensure adequate liquidity. The Company believes that if it can secure approximately $2.0 million in additional capital and a refinancing of the existing mortgage it will be able to receive an unqualified audit opinion for its fiscal 2002 financial statements to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The filing is planned for no later than May 16, 2003.

The Company`s management team intends to host a conference call next week to review fourth quarter and full year financial results in greater detail in connection with the filing of its Annual Report. The call will be webcast at www.delias.com/investor and will be archived online.

dELiA*s Reports $2.7 million Equity Investment by Members of Management
Monday May 12, 8:36 am ET


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2003--dELiA*s Corp. (NasdaqLIA - News), a leading multichannel retailer to teenage girls and young women, today announced that members of its management had finalized a $2.7 million equity investment in the Company.
Stephen I. Kahn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Geraldine Karetsky, Director; Christopher C. Edgar, Vice-Chairman; and Evan Guillemin, Director and Chief Financial Officer, each purchased shares of the Company at $.37 per share--a one cent premium over the Friday closing price of $.36. In the aggregate, the investors purchased 7,297,298 shares.

Contemporaneously with the consummation of the equity investment, the Company completed a transaction to alleviate its concerns regarding the pending maturity of the mortgage on its Hanover, Pennsylvania distribution facility. To resolve this problem, the Company obtained a stand-by commitment in the form of a put option from the same investors who made the equity investment. The commitment is intended to allow the Company to sell the property to the investors for a sum sufficient to satisfy the outstanding mortgage solely in the event that the mortgage is not refinanced, extended or satisfied through a sale-leaseback arrangement prior to its August 6 maturity date. In consideration for the grant of the put option, the Company issued warrants to the investors, exercisable for an aggregate 600,000 shares of Company stock also at the one cent premium of $.37 per share.

Commenting on the transactions, Mr. Kahn said "dELiA*s is a great brand and a business with a great future. The investment today makes a strong statement about our belief in the Company and the future value of the franchise. This transaction further strengthens dELiA*s balance sheet and addresses our concerns about the distribution facility mortgage. As importantly, these transactions allow us to move forward in filing our Annual Report. While the environment remains challenging, we feel we`ve made significant strides along the path to recovery and are looking forward to demonstrating much improved back-half 2003 performance."

The Company plans to file its Annual Report by the required date of May 16 and expects that such report will contain an unqualified audit opinion.

Die Zahlen am 04.06.2003 müssten schon super ausfallen um den Kurs weiter nach oben zu treiben.


Ich rechne mit einem Quartalsverlust von ca. 0,08$.

Da der DELIA Cashbestand ein sehr kritisches Level erreicht hat, ist jetzt höchste Vorsicht geboten.

Nur neue Deals oder ein wesentlich besseres Konsumklima in den USA könnten hier wieder für Phantasie sorgen.

[teicker]

heute ging es schon wieder bis auf 0,62$ runter - morgen um 9 Uhr US Zeit wird es spannend - ich rechne mit keiner grossen Überraschung.

Wäre eine schöne Tradingchance gewesen. Rein zu 62Cents und dann bei ca. 90Cents verkaufen. hatten wir die letzte Zeit ja schon einmal gehabt. Damals ging es auf etwa 75Cents runterm um dann wieder auf 90Cents zu gehen. Aber man kann ja leider nicht alles haben

The Company reported net sales for the quarter of $29.5 million, as compared to sales of $28.8 million in the prior year. Retail sales increased 21%, driven by new store openings. Direct sales decreased 12% on a 22% reduction in circulation. The net loss for the quarter was $7.3 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3 million, or $0.09 per share in the same period last year (before the effect of a change in accounting principle), and down from a net loss of more than $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Included in the loss for the first quarter were finance charges related to its licensing deal and bank line of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share.

The first-quarter loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") in 2003, excluding fees related to the licensing deal and bank line, was $4.3 million versus $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2002.

Stephen Kahn, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The first quarter showed a positive reversal in performance in all channels of business as compared to the preceding two quarters. We managed to cut our EBITDA loss from operations to $4.3 million, down substantially from the fourth quarter of 2002. The majority of this loss was incurred in February as we completed our liquidation of under-performing Holiday goods. Based on current sales trends and a well managed inventory position, we hope to cut our EBITDA loss again in the second quarter of 2003. Looking to the back half of 2003, we now believe that we are well positioned from an overhead, brand and product perspective to generate positive EBITDA."

Over the last nine months, the Company has taken steps to restructure its management team, reorient its product offering, restore its historic brand positioning and stabilize its balance sheet. Commenting on these efforts, Mr. Kahn stated, "We believe that our turnaround is well on track. While the environment remains challenging, dELiA*s fundamentals are improving. Our balance sheet has been bolstered by a series of financial transactions, including the brand licensing deal announced in February, the amendment to our Wells Fargo Credit Facility announced in April and management`s equity investment announced three weeks ago. Most importantly, our brand right product assortment, supported by a revitalized merchandising and planning organization, is beginning once again to generate excitement with our core dELiA*s customer. "

Mr. Kahn also noted that the Company is currently in negotiations related to a refinancing of the existing $3 million mortgage, maturing in August, on the Company`s Hanover, Pa.-based distribution facility.

The Company`s management team is hosting a conference call at 9am this morning to review the first quarter financial results in greater detail. The call will be webcast at www.delias.com/investor and will be archived online. A telephonic replay will also be available from noon Eastern Time June 4th through June 11th. To listen to the replay, dial 800-633-8284 and reference confirmation code #21145319.

About dELiA*s Corp.

[teicker]

die Zahlen sind die reinste Scheisse.

Nur weil S. Kahn sagt , er glaubt bald einen positiven Cash Flow zu erwirtschaften, stieg die Aktie heute in den ersten Handelsminuten.

Aber wer einmal lügt .....

Am 01.02.2003 hatte DLIA nur noch ca. 300.000$ Cash nur durch den Lizensvertrag mit Schottenstein über 16,5 MIO $ konnte Kahn den Laden am Leben halten.

Jetzt ist schoch wieder ein Verlust von über 7 Mio $ angefallen.

Durch die Geldeinlage des Kahn Clans (Ca. 2,7Mio$) wurde eine Verbindlichkeit abgelöst (durch die Ausgabe von über 7Mio Shares)

Dlia hat heute über 52MIO austehende Aktien (bei einem Kurs von 0,80 $ errechnet sich ein Börsenwert vo ca. 41 Mio $).

Der aktuelle Buchwert liegt allerdings nur noch bei ca. 33 Mio $ - da im nächsten Quartal wieder mit einem Verlust zu rechnen ist ein ziemlich gewagtes Spiel.


Ausserdem rückt jetzt ein Delisting in greifbare Nähe.

Ein RS Split hätte für den Kurs fatale Folgen.


Mein Tip für heute Schlusskurse in den 70 ern.

[teicker]

und weiter abwärts - Mein Tip nächste Woche wieder in der 50 ties.

[teicker]

Sollte der Kurs weiter abrutschen (so um die 0,50 $ ) - würde ich einen erneuten Einstieg empfehlen.

Zur Zeit finde ich das Risiko bei über 0,70 $ einfach zu gross. (DELISTING!!!!)

[teicker]

Ich hoffe ihr seid alle auf mein Anraten ausgestiegen.

Alles in allem glaube ich, dass es bald wieder spannend wird.

Abwarten heisst nun die Devise.

Ich habe viel Geld mit DLIA in den letzten Wochen gemacht und werde dieses auch wieder investieren.

Alloy Inc. to Buy Delia*s for $50 Million
Thursday July 31, 9:44 am ET


NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Teen media company Alloy Inc. (NasdaqNM:ALOY - News) agreed to purchase all outstanding shares of young women`s clothier Delia*s Corp. for roughly $50 million, or 92.8 cents a share.
ADVERTISEMENT


The deal represents a 17.5% premium over Delia*s closing price of 79 cents a share on Wednesday.

The deal, expected to close in Alloy`s third quarter, is expected to generate revenue and cost synergies of at least $10 million to $15 million beginning in fiscal 2004.

Because of the need to stabilize retail operations and integrate both Alloy`s and Delia*s merchandise operations, Alloy expects the acquisition to be initially dilutive.

Though Alloy said it couldn`t yet measure how the deal will affect 2003 earnings without a definite closing date, it expects the deal to produce $5 million to $10 million in incremental earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during fiscal 2004.

Thomson First Call (News - Websites) projects 2003 earnings of 27 cents a share, compared with 52 cents a share in 2002. For 2004, First Call projects earnings of 37 cents a share.

As part of the acquisition agreement, Alloy will make a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Delia*s. This is to be followed by a second step merger in which all untendered shares will be converted into the right to receive 92.8 cents a share.

Additionally, Alloy hired Walter Killough Jr., former J. Crew chief operating officer but did not specify his new position.
