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.

Frohes neues Jahr.

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."
